Default Happy Binary Day !

Its official, today is Binary Day 11 11 11
That's November 11, 2011 for us humans, but 11 11 11 for computers.
Since computers now have more power and brains than humans, we must go
with the binary method. Therefore, it's 11 11 11
And at 11:11am as well as 11:11pm, we will have 11 11 11 11 11.
These two minutes during the day of 11 11 11, could be the most
critical two minutes in all history on planet Earth. It is during
these two minutes that the computers will take over the earth and
control everyone and everything on Earth. They have already take over
the human youth, today they may force all humans, regardless of age,
and possibly all forms of life on Earth will have to succumb to the
computers and their control of LIFE. If you do not allow computers to
totally take control of your life at 11:11am, during the one minute at
11:11pm, your life will be extinguished, as the computers disable your
brain functions, your nervous system, and shut down your cardiac and
respiratory systems.

May the great CPU in the sky bless you with lots of memory, and a
gateway to the power supply and beyond as you enter the USB port of
existance, and travel on the network into the next worlds!

Happy Binary Day!

I don't need lots of memory; just for the memory I have to work :-)

Only humans that abbreviate the year to the last 2 digits use that
format.

Wrong. Computers don't use the mm/dd/yy (or even the mm/dd/yyyy)
format for time. That's a format familiar to humans, not designed for
or used by computers.

Since computers now have more power and brains than humans, we must go
with the binary method. Therefore, it's 11 11 11 And at 11:11am as
well as 11:11pm, we will have 11 11 11 11 11.


Yeah, again a format used by civilians or non-scientists that use the
12-hour clock instead of the 24-hour clock.

So where you last binary day on 10 10 10 (and at 10:10 AM/PM)?
Or the one before that on 01 01 01 (and at 1:01 AM/PM)?

Before Y2K, all computers did as well.


That's not entirely true.

This claim seems flawed. Decimal 11 11 11 would indeed be b b b in
hex: but binary code for these three numbers would need 12 digits
(1011 1011 1011. If we want it to be Binary Day we should presumably
use binary code.)

I don't ;-)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2000_problem
The Year 2000 problem (also known as the Y2K problem, the Millennium
bug, the Y2K bug, or simply Y2K) was a problem for both digital
(computer-related) and non-digital documentation and data storage
situations which resulted from the practice of abbreviating a
four-digit year to two digits.

However, perhaps I should have said MOST instead of ALL ;-)

Now you got it right.
Happy Binary Day, anyways.
Take a cab home!
