I finished One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Not really sure what to say, some parts were funny while others were impossible to comprehend.  It also had a lot of like religious references tucked away in there, hehehe.  Overall good I suppose, just not something I would be interested in a whole lot.

Say something then, I'm going to be polite and wait for Jack to be ready.

I am now the last person in this thread who hasn't heralded a fake update

fuck all of you
Not sure what you're saying here.  As Benevolence said I was talking about the second newest page, which is new to me today.

There was a gas leak at my campus, so no classes today. Whoo!
Plenty of time to spend on steam wink wink nudge nudge.

Also I get to relax now~

Wow, what an amazing gif there.  I could see all the frames one by one as it loaded up.  That's a lot of effort for just one panel.

If it's positive you move the decimal to the right whatever the number says

5.24 x 103 would be 5,240.00

If it's negative you move the decimal to the left whatever the number says

5.24 x 10-3 would be 0.00524


Okay for adding and subtracting exponents you do what Urist said.  I need to go to sleep now before I do something more stupid.

If your fingers could somehow do hexadecimal you could go up to 1,099,511,627,775.

FFFFF FFFFF = 1,099,511,627,775

Okay, here's another stupid question that I forgot to ask in class. When writing numbers above 256 in binary, (Say, 9054, or something like that), do I just write a big string of 1s and 0s, or do I break it into bytes?
Depends. In math, no. You just use a giant string of 0s and 1s. In electronics there might or might not be a reason to write it as multiple bytes(like, say, if you're using an 8-bit system.)
Yeah it depends, my teacher tells me to do both.

It goes from right to left.

So 0000 would be 0
0001 would be 1
0010 would be 2
0100 would be 4
1000 would be 8

with those basics you can do stuff like

1001 is 9
1110 is 14
1111 is 15

when you want 16 you move up a row

10000 is 16
10001 is 17
10010 is 18

and such

-> 327 = 256 + 64 + 4 + 2 + 1
-> 101000111

I find bases pretty easy to grasp, but I'm not following your trick here.  How does 256+64+4+2+1 turn into 101000111 in one step?

Each number multiples by 2 for binary.  1 means it's HIGH or active while 0 means it's LOW or inactive.

Oh decimal, why didn't you say so.
Vector already answered that though, I like the fact I understand it.  One month ago I wouldn't have.

From what I know, going from binary to decimal is easy.  For decimal to binary I just work with the largest number I have and work my way down.

Like say you got the decimal number 137.

Highest you could use there is 128, then 8, then 1.  128+8+1=137

Or 10001001

Bases eh?

I've done base 2, 8, and 16.  What would 10 be used for?
