Just got back from college after an enthralling lesson of computing. We would have been learning Visual Basic on the computers which would have been alright but the entire network is down because some of the computers have that MSblast virus and the retarded IT staff can't work out how to get rid of it, so we are reduced to not using the network, and the computers have a terrible lag because XP has just been installed on them all and they only have 1.5 gig hard drives and so Windows takes up most of the room!
Anyway it was one of the first lessons of computing and our IT teachers decided that we would skip all of the simple Visual Basic stuff and try and teach us Binary. Well it was like trying to teach Latin to a doorstop, the room was filled with blank faces and the occasional "eh?" and "huh?" was uttered. So, I have come to the conclusion binary is pretty hard to pick up.
*sigh*

Hex is an abreviation of Binary isnt it?
I understand that too..

A - 10

C - 12
D - 13
E - 14
F - 15
It saves room so you need less sections (bits)
If thats right then I learnt something today.

I see. They do "hex" as well which is quite easy as well.
Practice makes perfect though. Once you learn it, it's dead simple.

He was teaching us all these different types of binary, not just plain simple stuff. There was a 7 bit one, 8 bit one and 16 bit one and he did all these lame calculations and did half of them wrong. Chump.
I understand plain binary, thats not hard at all but when you are taught 4 variations at once it is odd.

And i've come to the conclusion you're a fool.
Binary is easier than a walk in the park.
Visual Basic is slightly confusing at first but when you learn it, you'll realise it's really quite straightforward.

Hurray for it's predictableness.
