Re: Wrong arithmetic and French pronunciation
There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't :p

Those are the first 11 types.
Type 10 is those who know Gray Code

Okay, did he actually say something?
Yes I did. Look for a binary converter on the internet.

Well... that depends.

You see, there are 10 types of people.

1. those that begin listing their array objects from 1, and

1. those that begin the array object listing with 0.

 ;7


In gray code, obviously 11 equals 2dec... so when there are 10bin objects (those who understand binary and those who don't). So saying that the third (Gray code 10 == 3dec) type is those who know Gray code is perfectly valid, arrays be damned.

Re: Wrong arithmetic and French pronunciation
The problem is "ché"...I don't really know how to write it...

It's something like "she" with the "e" of "pet"...but this is getting pathetic.


You mean like chef w/o the f?

Re: Arithmeticus et Pronounciationus
Too-shey.  The é is the same sound as the Canadian "eh", or the proper name of this letter: "A."

At least, that's how I've always been taught to pronounce it and I speak French (with an atrocious Western canadian accent mind you, but French nonetheless).

I don't get the "y" at the end...

Re: Arithmeticus et Pronounciationus
MP-Ryan is using the same prounciation I spelled out earlier (too-shay) but with a different letter.

Generally, words using that sound in English are spelt with a "y" on the end (for an example: the word "say"). Exceptions usually occur when English borrows a word from another language, as in the case of "touché".

That is probably the reason Admiral Stones' Mac pronounciation seemed off, as the "y" is hardly pronounced at all, yet that is the way English spells such a sound. Trust a computer to ignore such things. Although why Stones trusted a text-to-speech program to properly pronounce a word in the first place is beyond me.

Re: Wrong arithmetic and French pronunciation
It's always funny how you americans pronounce 'touché'. It sounds very wrong in the ears of a francophone.

When i was growing up. To me it was towche, and touch was towch. I also thought they were the same word until i got older.

Binary is something everyone should. Not that many people outside of computers or math and science do people rarely get exposure to a different number system. Binary itself really is quite an impressive number system for being able to add up to any number between 0 and 255 with only 8 signifiers being 1's and 0's.
