The Show 'Look' on Showtime starts on 10/10/10.
It's about how often we are recorded on video cameras in our daily lives.
I'm really interested in it but I don't get Showtime :(
If anyone does watch it, let me know what you think about it!

The answer to life is not 10, but 42.

(Apparently I'm allowed to say that, since I'm not "European, Australian or Asian")

I keep forgetting you aren't in Japan anymore.

Anyway, unless something happens here soon I'll have to wait for the REALLY big one.

Lessee.  42+16+4+1=63

Did I do that right? I don't run Linux or even 64bit Win7.

Right sum, wrong numbers. Binary math always starts on the right and doesnt skip bits. If you have 6 '1's then that is really 00111111, which is:

32+16+8+4+2+1 = 63

Hey, WAIT A SECOND.  I did it right.

All I did was take 42 from 101010 and add the appropriate extra binary equivalents for the toggled digits.

My mind is a computer.

Like I said, you had the correct sum. But when the teacher asks you to show your work, you have to show it ALL ;)
