just isn't cool. I've seen at least 5 people with various forms of messages encoded in hex and binary in their signatures. while some people may wonder "omg what is that code in their sig??" ... its just stupid. anyone who sees it and knows what it is thinks it is lame, and anyone who doesn't get it right away will never get it


the only fun I get out of it is decoding the entire thing by hand (memorized conversions of hex --> binary--> decimal --> ascii) and it is good practice for a couple classes i'm taking


I figure that most people who put this in their sig do it because they think its some 1337 way to code a message... "omg you're cool"

edit: this post inspired by Muffin

About the only thing you'll accomplish with this is to start another "I can use online binary/text converters better than you" thread.

But, for the record, I agree with you. I just don't really care all that much.

I only put one in mine because everyone was using binary and I thought it was stupid.

Did you read my first one files? The one I was told to change bacause it was too long.

Anyway, I only did it because no one else was doing it in the forums. Now that there are people copying me I need to think of somthing else :D

There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who know binary and those who don't.

lol.


Should start doing memory locations. Totally mix it up and let them figure it out.

One code to RULE them ALL!
0xDEADBEEF

well vijhct, at least if I do that it will make everyone realize how not-cool and not-special they are for doing it

The most unfunny reply to this topic would be something in hex or binary.

Saw that coming from dascoo or 4-year-old tee hee

Elitism has jumped to coding now?

Look up - I already did it.

wheres my cookie b1tch?

(im so rebellious kekekekeke)

Has this binary/hex trend been seen in other forums, or is the soldat forums just wierd?

I'm sure... The sad part is, not on a programming forum. They take it for granted.

ban them? You've got the power!

decode this and nothing good will happen to you

Or perhaps they'd just end up reinforcing each other's belief that, as Famine stated, using binary or hex is somehow elite.

On the other hand, they might not really care whether it's cool or not and just do it because it's as fun as finding a decoder ring in your cereal and teasing your friends with little coded messages that they have to work at to read.

It really isn't that big of a deal in the scheme of things, Flies...

hehe i just started learning binary/hex/that other crap at school like 1 month ago and yeah I find it pretty lame their putting it in their sigs :p

vij it wasn't a big deal, I just felt like making a thread about it and getting you people all stirred up

Mission accomplished, well done!

...next?

Either that or you wanted to complain about it and then lay back on the familiar "Just causing a comotion, my complaining is actually me being cool by manipulating people" excuse. ;)

Elephant_Hunter could teach you a thing or two about stirring up trouble...

Is it sad I own a shirt that says this?

I'll let it slide this time.

Be more l33t than flies and decode my uber-secret message.

Using technology to help you decode this is totally lame. Take out a pen and paper and utilize those ASCII codes that you memorized in-between reading your complete collection of Encyclopedia Brown books. I promise that you're in for a treat!
