The last of the binary dates!  No more 01/01/00 or 01/10/00 or 01/11/00 or 10/011/10 or 10/10/10 or 10/11/10 or 11/10/10 or 11/01/11 or 11/10/11 or 11/11/11.  Not even 00/00/00 or 01/01/01 ya know, like back in the day…

So enjoy the day.  Enjoy the date. The last binary date of our lifetime (unless you become cryogenically or cryogenically frozen or hop in a time machine and head to the distant future or the not-so-distant past).  The process of cryogenics, by the way, was founded in Detroit in 1966 by Ed Busch. He called his company CryoTech. Ed’s background was in heat treating of all things! He was all into keeping the hot side hot and the cold side cold.  Talk about a reversal of interests!  One could truly say this guy went from hot to cold!  But, I digress…

Anyway – the next binary date will be… 01/01/00 as in the year 3000!  I don’t think we’ll see that one.

The Last Binary Dates of our Lifetime! http://sexdrugsnrockandroll.com/very-sexy-dates-the-last-binary-dates-of-our-lifetime/ http://sexdrugsnrockandroll.com/very-sexy-dates-the-last-binary-dates-of-our-lifetime/#comments Thu, 10 Nov 2011 23:34:36 +0000 admin http://sexdrugsnrockandroll.com/?p=19 Today – 11/10/11 – is one of the two last days in our lifetime that calculates into a binary number!  Tomorrow 11/11/11 will be the last in our lifetime!

Today 10/10/11 converts from binary to decimal as the number 59.  How about that!  However, tomorrow 11/11/11 will not be 60.  No, no!  Too easy!  It will be 63!  How so, you ask?  Well, it’s like this…

Binary counts from right to left as the factors multiply by 2.  To the far right is the one’s column, followed by the two’s column to the left of the one’s column.  With me so far?  The column third from the right is the four’s column followed by the eights’, sixteens’ and thirty-twos’ in that order.

So,

01 = 1
10 = 2
11 = 3
100 = 4
101 = 5
110 = 6
111 = 7
001000 = 8
010000 = 16
100000 = 32

 

Dig?

Now, go forth and multiply!
