If only you and DEAD people can read Hex, how many people can read Hex?Ah darn! I ran out of fingers and toes. 🙁
Edit: 1101111010101110?
Yup. Nicely done, I like the way you answered better than any others I've seen.
And here I was wondering what
13-14-10-13 meant.
Is there something I'm not getting?

Has anybody else noticed that Steve is now "One Orange Chip"?Interesting... I didn't. Steve what is the meaning of it? Is an Orange chip a high value poker chip or something.
On another note Jason, I like your comment in that xml vs set thread about testing as well as David's about testing with a large enough sample to really know.
Thanks Trey

Shouldn't that be 1101111010101101? (Last two digits are reversed - Alvin's makes DEAE)

I think when I was visiting Jason's home in Vegas this summer the Orange chip at the Bellagio was 25,000. Needless to say I just saw them, didn't actually get to hold one 😀I'll have to ask the eye in the sky friends down there about that. I heard rumor that you had a tray of those chips.:-D

Nope. I'm not arguing with anyone who thinks they know better......than Gail. 😛
No thanks, I'm staying out of it as well.
It's not that bad of a sitch. I've argued once or twice with Gail without being banned from forumville. I think she's still willing to talk to me... ?
Maybe if I look really, really pathetic she'll let me bask in the reflected glow of her knowledge-halo for a while?
@=)
The key to arguing with GilaMonster (or anyone for that matter) is:
A) Admit when you are wrong.
B) If not A, agree to disagree.
But above all else, do it with professionalism.
😉
Absolutely!!!

Darn it... you're right! Got so focused on converting DEAD, I forgot about the "you and " part.

Heck, if I had a tray full of them, I'd cash them in and move permanently to Tahiti.

Much.
Ok...
Gloat as much as you like, in private.
No, come gloat in here! (That way we can all watch. :-D)
Why all the discussion about goats?

Not just goats, "Gloats". Those are fat goats, they get their name from a combination of Bloat and Goat.

Ever see Ocean's 11? When they're talking about robbing the Bellagio? There's a scene where they talk about the three most famous robberies that almost worked, including the last guys that "saw daylight"
That happened to us. We were up at 6:30 for a morning hike, sitting in the lobby of the Bellagio. This guy comes running out of the casino, long hair, casually dressed, but running with something in his arms. It's early, and there are still people cleaning the carpets as two security guards try to dodge the ropes and poles and chase the guy.
One hits the felon's arm, and something goes flying down the floor of the Bellagio lobby and the guard turns toward it. The felon's not slowed and heads to the door. He hits the large, circular revolving door, which must have some speed limiter on it. He's pushing and manages to get it around.
Meanwhile the second guard wisely hits the double doors next to the revolving door and gets outside to tackle the felon on the tiles in front. A few other guards decide to dog pile on and I'm not sure what happened after that.
But he saw daylight.

Ahhh
So I can bring my fat goats in here for people to see and watch?
Cool - here is my goat.

What did he drop? I hope something good.
Oh, and stuff like that happens all the time down here - it's not fantasy for us - it's reality.

I'm guessing some type of chip box. Looked metal, maybe like something that they used to carry around chips.
It was rather amazing to us non-Vegas folk. We laughed about it all day.
