Ah, that's a classic. I also like this: Why do geeks confuse Halloween and Christmas? Because DEC 25 == OCT 31. Ha. Ha. Ha. I need a girlfriend
( Fires up Python... ) Such a creative message, and your right. Personally I enjoy the C based "Sexual Intercourse Algorithm v 1.0 Beta 5 build 1025" @ http://www.comedycode.com/showcode.cfm/code/23.html . It makes some very interesting system calls .

Understanding binary useless, it will take ages for someone to make a program using binary. And i dont think anyone here actually understands binary, that makes the actual people who replied with binary a poser.
It is not at all useless. I can read binary, granted it takes time... And one of my friends has written several programs in machine and assembly code.
Quite usefull for small devices, if you're writing code for a device that only has about 8k of memory on it's chip it pays to write in binary.
I can understand assembly for embedded systems and other miniature device, but I doubt "hex coding" is useful beyond debugging binaries. After all an assembler is not much more than an advanced set of macro, and it basically produced the same output you'd get by hand. Still a decent C compiler will beat hand written assembler for speed and efficiency in all but a few scenarios. 01010011 01101111 01110010 01110010 01111001 00100000 01110010 01100101 01100001 01101100 00100000 01101101 01100101 01110011 01110011 01100001 01100111 01100101 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01101001 01101110 00100000 01101000 01100101 01111000 00101110 00001010 00110000 01011000 00110100 00110111 00100000 00110000 01011000 00110110 01000110 00100000 00110000 01011000 00110111 00110100 00100000 00110000 01011000 00110010 00110000 00100000 00110000 01011000 00110100 00110001 00100000 00110000 01011000 00110010 00110000 00100000 00110000 01011000 00110100 01000011 00100000 00110000 01011000 00110110 00111001 00100000 00110000 01011000 00110110 00110110 00100000 00110000 01011000 00110110 00110101 00100000 00110000 01011000 00110011 01000110 00100000 00110000 01011000 00110010 00110000 00100000 00110000 01011000 00110100 01000101 00100000 00110000 01011000 00110110 01000110 00100000 00110000 01011000 00110111 00110000 00100000 00110000 01011000 00110110 00110101 00001010 Have fun with that

Reading fluent binary is completly useless. Being, in theory, able to decypher binary is a good thing to know. Knowing assembly can actually be quite handy.
I can decipher hex but not binary, I just haven't put the time into it that I should have, I also can do hex to dec conversions in my head most of the time, too many patch codes and game hacks....
[font="] Thats pretty nice. I've toyed around with .NET for a few projects, but didn't like it lack of portability. Maybe once there is a decent way of using CLR based code in Linux, except then it would be Microsoft No one should ever have to decipher binary. The whole point of hex is to make binary numbers(mainly addresses) manageable to humans. The only time anyone would do a binary dump is if they wanted to debug a complex bitwise process, but at that point you don't care about the numeric value. The whole binary-encoded messages is just to display our geekness as we all write programs to mutually encode and decode text that didn't need the conversion in the first place. Maybe next we can have an obfuscated C contest, or just fight over languages, build enviroments, and operating systems. It always feels great to find such practical applications for computing skils.[/font]
