I'd buy a Magnus thong!

*poke* out of order post *poke*

no, I wouldnt buy anything thats not food or Bass related anymore... (or computer)

I'd would, but no, because I'm not a "buy stuff on the internet" person. I don't even do eBay.

Same here... However, some people at school might rebuke me for it (think "bad fashion statement"), but i'm a "registered nerd". Also making a website and form to fill out in order to get a "registered nerd ID card", and registering nerds at my school (including my latin teacher).

I intentionally buy clothes that get me ridiculed, just to show how small-minded most people are.

Oh... like the binary shirt that says "YOU ARE DUMB"? That one's pretty funny, actually. I wrote a QB program to translate ASCII text to binary, so I can say stuff in binary now. Yay! :)

True nerdism is being able to read and write in binary without a translator. Even better woud be reading and writing in pixels as on your calc screen. This way we could display easily 64 lines of text without any compression!

hmm, maybe I'll try that. You could fit 768 letters on a screen at once (at 8 bits per character)

See the link.

Cool :)

If you want to translate to and from binary, Try this http://nickciske.com/tools/binary.php, or you can use the one I made, by clicking the url.

Binary is a cool "secret code" language, since 99% of the people I know wouldn't have a clue on how to decode it. The problem is, you can't just read it off the top of your head (unless you're really scary).

There are 10 kinds of people in the world:
Those who understand binary,
and those who don't.

Oh, I've seen that quote on here before... I e-mailed it to a friend and he didn't get it *cry*

took me a little while, pretty great

Uh-huh :) I had to think twice the first time I saw it too. I was expecting this big list of different types of people, but when I saw the word "binary", I figured it out.

took me awhile too
oh man thats great

for all you people who don't get binary
10(binary)=2(decimal)

>> Oh, I've seen that quote here before.

Yes, you have. I said it :)

I'm going to remember that 1.
For most people it will be a 'bit' to funny though.

Gosh were GEEKS. ;)

You're not a geek until you can understand the difference between "we're" and "were". Thankfully, that's not the only qualification.

He also forgot a comma, but it doesn't matter. I screw up with grammar all the time, but it's mostly punctuation, for me. I'm getting a little better with spelling stuff (but not good enough). *sigh*

AUGH! It's an apostrophe! This is a comma: ",".

Right on!

That's the saying on our t-shirt for my school's Computer Science Club.
d:-)

Where did you find that binary t-shirt that says "you are dumb"?

NO EBAY!?! I got my 89 for only $60 on EBAY!!! new too...

I got you beat! I got my 89 for $30! No manual though, but worth it! You could download the latest from ti.com.

I find it odd that they sell manuals, but yet they have them for download, for free. If somebody was desperate, they could just print the pages out and there you go... a manual. :)

...if you have enough paper...

damn i'm gonna get an ebay account
just to get an 89,92+ or v200

That's a good deal, but my deal was better, I got it for Christmas ;-) LOL

But, ebay is cool. It's fun to just browse around when you're incredibly bored.
