127.0.0.1 Sweet 127.0.0.1

[ajs1976]

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"

 

[Bob Hubbard]

:rofl: Hey, I'm a geek. I admit it.
I just don't wear the uniform anymore....they revolked my pocket protector after I had my eyes lasered.

 

[BrandiJo]

ok so someone wanna tell me what it is ...im one of thsoe who dont know binary (sp??) or even what that is

 

[Bob Hubbard]

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.

 

[BrandiJo]

fun stuff i think?

 

[Andrew Green]

Bugger, he beat me too it.

umm...

Let's add hexadecimal to add to the confusion

Base 16

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

 

[BrandiJo]

ok again fun stuff that i will pry never remember or use

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Umm..Base 8?

1=1
7=7
10=8
17=15
20=16
30=24

LOL!!!!

Back on topic ,

"The box said 'Requires Windows 95 or better'. So I installed LINUX. "

"There is only one satisfying way to boot a computer."

"If at first you don't succeed; call it version 1.0"

"Roses are #FF0000
Violets are #0000FF"

"In a world without fences and walls, who needs Gates and Windows? "

Also seen "There's no place like 127.0.0.1 "

"In a world without fences and walls, who needs Gates and Windows? "

LOL! I like that.

 

[Andrew Green]

How about: "The more Gates and windows you have, the the more ways there are to break into your house"

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!

My favorite:
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.
