Topic awaiting preservation: Another newbie (Page 1 of 1)

Hello all. Got here from 3dbuzz.com via TechTV.

Looks like a hell of a place. The Photoshop pong looks fun, I may try that.

Wes - I joined The Herd today too.

Anyways, just wanted to say I've committed myself.

Welcome to our Looney bin

Please take a look at our fabulous :FAQ: and the nurses will be along with a straight jacket in no time.

Welcome Zo

welcome

im pretty sure this is the first hello all post ive seen in a while that doesnt involve questions like "how do you guys do all the stuff on this site?". Welcome Zo

------------------------------------
Now Officially Superior!

welcome Zo! Nice name.

Take a little tour around the halls as Veneficuz has suggested. Do it quick because soon they will show you to your cell (complete with your own set of crayons), get you a straight jacket, and then in time Suho will take you to the basement for shock treatment.
After that, well..... let's just say you won't be the same.

And yes, give the PSPong a go. I think I may pop in over there myself. Haven't done it in a while. Wanna do one? Feel free to email me.
spur of the moment things are great

Later,

~Binary is best~

Be careful.

There are monsters around here waiting to pounce on you. XD

I am asexual, neither male nor female.

Welcome to the madness. It only gets better with time.

Gilbert is a cat, as you can see. I am more of a cow, a cow with foot and mouth disease.

I haven't posted here in a while, too busy doing really cool stuff like *mumble mumble*

Welcome aboard. Most people here are very weird, like some crazy (and cool) computer geeks. I am very normal though. I just come on here mostly to argue in the philosophy forum or just read interesting posts.

Zo: Welcome, and glad to see that you've finally had yourself committed.

Don't listen to Yuri--there are no monsters here. And make sure to stop by the basement so I can fit you for a set of electrodes.

platyjim: Actually, we seem to be getting an abundance of simple hello posts these days. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, of course.

Hello Zo...

I came here to get stuck into photoshop at a deeper level but ended getting sucked into the 'philosophy and other sillyness department' too...

Most people here are a little nuts me thinks but very smart and have mostly good hearts... (that rhymes)


...xpi...

"nuff said"

Welcome!!! Glad you found us

Hey, Zo. Excellent! You may have just missed the most recent newsletter; shoot me an e-mail and I'll forward you your own copy.

Thanks for the welcome. I love what you guys do here, and myself have been working with Photoshop since 98 but haven't really gotten into as much as I would like, just simple restorations, school work, etc...

Looking to learn a lot while here.

I'm also looking into Grad school for Virtual Reality. Should start in the Fall, hopefully.


My favorite computer geek joke

"There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those who read binary and those who don't."

... actually that's 1 person..

how about "there's only 10 types of people in theowrl- those who can read binary, those who can't, and those who start counting at zero."..?

Sorry, I've forgotten binary.

But wouldn't that still be wrong? If you start counting at 0, that would be a count of 2, but you listed 3 types of people.

Type 00 - Can read binary.
Type 01 - Can't read binary.
Type 10 - Started counting at 0.

Yes? No? Time for a trip to the basement maybe?

I went and asked Jeeves, but I'm still not sure:

01100101
10101110
01101000

Each one of the above sequences means something different. This is where the math comes in. Within the byte, each position is valued differently, unless it off in which case in is zero. A 0 bit is always equal to zero. Think of the eight bits as different positions. Just as explained above, when a 1 is in the ones position, it is equal to 1, when it is in the tens position, it is equal to 10.

Starting on the right, the positions have these values:

1st position equals 2 to the zero power (any number to the zero power equals 1)
2nd position equals 2 to the first power (2)
3rd position equals 2 to the second power (2 x 2 = 4)
4th position equals 2 to the third power (2 x 2 x 2 = 8)
5th position equals 2 to the fourth power (2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16)
6th position equals 2 to the fifth power (2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32)
7th position equals 2 to the sixth power (2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 64)
8th position equals 2 to the seventh power (2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 128)


Therefore 00101111 = 47

Ok, got it.

0010 (10) is 2

binary 0 0 0 0
value 8 4 2 1

so
0011 = 3
0100 = 4
0101 = 5
0110 = 6
0111 = 7

got it?

01100010
01101100
01100101
01100001
01101000

^^^^ I don't get it

98
108
101
97
104

?????????

bleah?

Then why did Petskull say that "10" was only one person?

Damn you, confusion!

...those who read binary and those who don't.

type 00 - "those who read binary"
..and..
type 01 - "those who don't."

Hmm... only '01'- that's only 1 person...

What's the number for people who could care less?

1004

^LOL^

And 23...

Bodhi - Cell 617

Petskull: Nice...

Suho:

the number for people who just don't care is-

420
