Take a cpa and have him/her explain tax regulations to me and I'm quite lost as it's not a subject I'm familiar with.

Likewise, if I were to explain the difference between a time division multiplexer and a full adder, or a bipolar-junction transistor and a field effect transistor to the cpa, they would likely be totally lost.

Communication requires a common set of known values. I'm so indoctrinated with computer and electronics related knowledge due to my having a passion for it from youth that I will rattle off something like "12 hex" without any consideration of whether the person I'm talking to knows hex is short for hexadecimal, and beyond that if they know hexadecimal is a base 16 numbering system. So they look at me confused, thinking I mean 12 decimal, when I really mean 18 decimal.

That is the frustration that comes from trying to communicate with those who know nothing about computers. It's the same frustration they feel when they try to communicate with me about something they have extensive knowledge about that I don't.


My primary interests in life are computers(electronics in general and general science to a lesser extent) and bass guitar. Those are my 2 modes of operation. Mode 0, and mode 1.

Well, that certainly clears that up. Makes perfect sense now!

Very Interesting

This year in my computer science class, for the first time I was actually required to know base 2, 10, and 16, and be able to do math in any bass along with converting it back in forth Good stuff I tell you! Kind of like the saying..

There are 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary, and those that don't.

I'm pretty sure less than 3 people on this forum understood that... btw..

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

Now back on topic....

Anselm Hauke, you still having issues posting attachments at times? Is it only with specific images or just at random?

The AP-CS subset does not require us to know octal, so, I guess we're not learning it for that reason, were behind as it is, only got couple more months before AP test roles out, we're studying recursive algorithms as of now.

and yes, no place like localhost aka home

I've been thinking about getting another camera, but maybe you can help me from what I said here?thanks, you're the man
I'm not Mike, obviously, but here's an idea - if you use a simple (often free) service like Flickr to host your photos, people can view your sets and choose the sizes that work best for them. Then you don't have to deal with different rules and systems for various forums or whatever.

hah, why do you ask? I had to learn hex/dec/binary conversions in high school comp sci, so I wouldn't say its dead. Unless you're in the computer science field however I don't know where else you would see it.

Yeah, I really didn't give that as much thought as I should have At first I thought you were saying do instead of if.

Hi Mike , I'm new in the forum but have been friends for some time. I tried to post photos in the gallery with no success . I have photos of a 6 string BT. Custom guitar Ken made for me over 25 years ago which Ken agrees should be included. It literally is one of a kind. The photos were rejected as too large and I'm not even certain of that. Help

The best way to approach this: Sign-up on an image hosting source such as 'Photobucket' (free and very simple). Once you've signed up, upload your photo's into 'Photobucket' and then you will have options of how you want to display them here or elsewhere.

Here is the Photobucket link:
