I saw this in kaith's signature and had to groan. Any other Martial talk computer geeks in here with other sayings.

One I like is: "There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those who don't"

127.0.0.1 is the address for "localhost". Basically, it's you, to you, on a network.

10 is binary (base 2) notation for the number 2. Each position can only be 0 or 1.
0 = 0
1 = 1
10 = 2
11 = 3
100 = 4
101 = 5
110 = 6
111 = 7
1000 = 8
etc. :)

01010001011100011100 = Binary

0's and 1's

So for numbers it is base 2

0 = 0
1 = 1
10 = 2
11 = 3
100 = 4
1000 = 8
10000 = 16

etc.

Base 16

0 = 0
1 = 1
9 = 9
A = 10
F = 15
10 = 16
FF = 255

I've always had a soft spot for the various "Things you might hear if you had a Klingon programmer" lists.

Since I'm doing mostly QA management at my current contract, I've been especially fond of these recently:


Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak.

Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!

What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not make software 'releases'. Our software 'escapes' leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.
