666 in binary is 1010011010 ... Does anyone know of the significance of the number 666 in cryptography, or long strings of repeating 6s?
Our normal number system is base-10 (meaning there are 10 possible digits, 0-9), binary is base-2 (meaning there are 2 possible digits, 0-1), so to convert you just take 2 raised to whatever power you need to construct the base-10 number you want. Each binary digit has a place-holder value similarly like our number system. For instance 444 is 400+40+4, the left-most digit being the hundreds place, then the tens, then the ones. Binary is the same, except instead of using powers of 10 you use powers of 2 (because only 2 digits are possible, 1 or 0) So for example, the number 12 in binary is 1100 you can read this also as (1)(2^3) + (1)(2^2) + (0)(2^1) + (0)(2^0) 8 + 4 + 0 + 0 12 As you can see you need far more places in binary than in decimal, becaue 2^n power yields less possibilities than 10^n power (except when n=0)
Kcalc Is handy to decimal to binary. Much easier to convert between binary and hexadecimal / octal (base 16 and base 8 respectively) tho since their radix/bases are also powers of two themselves ... And these bases, especially hexadecimal are MUCH more commonly used to represent binary values than base-2 itself. Also much easier to tell the size in bytes that u need to store said integer Windows calculator also converts number systems... U have to switch to "programmer" mode Memory addresses are usually 64bit numbers or 32bit numbers depending on which processor you use. A regular "int" is almost always 32 bits (4 bytes) on modern PC processors and "long" is 64 bits (8 bytes). On certain processors, most notably niche embedded processors the size of types may be (is) different. However, any pointer arithmetic is adjusted by a factor of sizeof(type) by C compilers so will be mostly portable, at least in C but in assembly I can only imagine how tedious things can get. So to store a number of certain length the variable must be of a type with sufficient allocated length in memory to store it or else the value will overflow when it goes out of bounds, and the value will be corrupted. this is because memory is allocated at the byte level and not bit-level. It is impossible to declare a pointer referencing just one single bit.
Hello, you can follow neodude's schema or simply use a pocket calculator . Maybe not the ones in the 2 dollar range, but the ones in the 10 dollar range should do at least bin and hex calculations. On the other hand, if you understand the scheme it's fun doing it in your head while the other kids still struggle with the pocket calculator . Regards Gyro
I've had a lot of 444's recently.. As far as the validity of numerology and all that other crazy stuff, it can't really be proven.. but there is an astounding synchronicity when you play in time with the music of nature. The beauty of it is that it doesn't mean much if you don't want it to, but it's a nice way to humour yourself. Swing between the beat, that's where the funk lives - but ya gotta hit the 1! Huh! http://youtu.be/UB0xTEi1YyE
6 is the perfect number as 1+2+3 = 6 and 1x2x3 also equals 6. 6 is the number of creation, three 6s is the active role of 6 as 3 is the first active number. 666 is active material creation as shown by the sun in nature, the emperor in society, and the will in the individual. 666 is positive and male as opposed to receptive and female. If abused it becomes tyrannical and therefore must always be balanced by the female 1080 lunar influence. 666 + 1080 = 1746 the mustard seed of fertility, or number of fusion. 6.666 miles is the circumference of the circle that contains the square of the ground plan of The New Jerusalem defined by St. John. 666 is yang, 1080 is yin, Plato's Same and the Other. There is tons more all found within City of Revelation by John Mitchell.
ooooo gooody. i heard the news today, oh boy, about a lucky man who made the grade, ... i believe there was a new york central steam locomotive number 999 that set some kind of world speed record for the time, back in 18xx something or other.
Thank you to those who tried to explain binary to me here, but it was like hearing Chinese to me . I have no idea what you mean....I guess i could google and study, if I really want to.....and thanks again....
