Can't believe I forgot, can someone refresh my memory, or send me a link. I'm bored at work and taking a geek test http://www.innergeek.us/ and I can't justify one of my answers unless I know binary code. Doing well on the test so far though..

..Think base 2 instead of base 10..i.e. 8,4,2,1......2 raised to the third power = 8, 2 raised to the second power = 4, 2 raised to the first power = 2, two raised to the zero power = 1..
So.......0001=1
0010=2
0011=3
0100=4
1000=8
1010=10
...etc. and so on.......Good luck with your test

shit it takes a good old computer programmer back in the 70-80's to know binary....all the good old classic..cobol, c, c+, basic, fortran...

....We use binary coding quite a bit to define machine tool parameters and analyze diagnostic information....

Actually, hexadecimal notation has always been used quite a bit more than binary. If you are an old school programmer you should know this!

But you must admit that hexadecimal notation is:..I hate mixing numbers and letters just for the purpose of counting.....
a) more useful and efficient than binary
b) more widely used in all aspects of programming and scripting
c) much cooler looking than a bunch of 0's and 1's
It's like f vs. 1111! Come on! What's not to like about that?
