  Yeah!  I'm tough    LOL actually I didn't mean it that way...it's just David comes across as this really good guy and I get the feeling people maybe have hurt him in his life and maybe even taken advantage of him and I HATE to see him put himself down that way....that's all.... O.K. .... maybe I should just mind my own business  :-\

I was just kidding Dottie!  :laugh:

I wasn't putting myself down. But I really do have a problem understanding things like this. That's why I was asking questions, so I could understand it. I've always wondered about zero.

And now I know!  :D

"Shasta--how many times have you kissed Jake Gyllenhaal?"

"I have kissed Jake Gyllenhaal exactly zero times. I am hoping to add to that however."

What about in binary?  Without 0, there would only be 1s.

Doesn't the zero in binary indicate the switch is closed (no data) and a one opens the switch allowing the information to flow through? I think I read that somewhere, but it was a very long time ago. It might not even be true anymore considering how fast technology changes. And I've had plenty of time to get it all mixed up!  :D
