"There are 10 types of people in the world:those who understand C, and those who don't"

Re: Quotes that you don't have room for...
 

Don't u mean binary? And i don't see how you get 10 types out of that :p

Re: Quotes that you don't have room for...
 

you could use binary

Re: Quotes that you don't have room for...
 

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.

Re: Quotes that you don't have room for...
 

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

It is really bad when you have to explain

Re: Quotes that you don't have room for...
 

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."

Re: Quotes that you don't have room for...
 

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

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.
