Umm in C you usually use hex which is base 16 so that would really read there are 16 types of people in the world.

Binary - 10 = 2
those who understand C (see), and those who don't

It is really bad when you have to explain

I think the point that we were bringing up is that in C you don't use binary you use hex. So the quote works if it reads "THere are 10 types of people in the world those who understand binary and those who don't."

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
-Teddy Roosevelt


I really like that one, but it's not gonna fit in the sig!

One of my favorites. My friends tries to tell my teacher "Is this the face of someone who would lie to you?", but only manages get get out:

"Does this face would lie?"

He tries to be completely serious until he and our class realize what he said at which point we crack up.

I like it! BTW, Googling revealed the quote is from Andrea diSessa in "Changing Minds: Computers, Learning, and Literacy", MIT Press, 2000. (MY source: http://www.learnprogramming.com/ and http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/auth....asp?aid=13711)

No true fiasco ever began as a quest for mere adequacy.

Re: Quotes that you don't have room for...
 
And the LORD spake, saying, first shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, is counted, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch toward thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.
