new screens for avsim....

[neilrobb]

Hi,

Noticed over at AVSIM they have 3 new screenshots of FSX.

Are flightsim.com getting any?

Surely this isn't fair.........

I would keep your eyes open and keep looking around for a bit... ;)

For a bit arghhh.....how longs a byte, I mean bit, byte, whatever!? :-)

[andyjohnston]

It's one eighth of a byte

Ah, but how many bytes to a nybble?

Answer: 1/2 byte, since a nybble is four bits!

bit A single binary digit, that can have either value 0 or 1.
byte 8 bits.
nybble 4 bits.
word 32 bits
halfword 16 bits
doubleword 64 bits

[andyjohnston]

But what's the biggest number that can be represented using 128 bits?

[jasonlg3d]

Which of course means I must throw out:

There are only 10 types of people in world, those who understand binary numbers, and those who don't.


2^128

[badderjet]

Jason is right of course, furthermore though it depends on if the number is signed or unsigned (in case we are talking of computer variables)...
So of course a signed number has one bit less for the actual numerical value, which does of course not change the amount of different numbers that could be stored using 128 bits (just shifts the 'range' so to speak).
The amount of different numbers (2^128) is apparently something around 3,4028236692093846346337460743177 x 10^38, the highest number of a 128 bit unsigend should be one less than that because of the zero.
Hope that makes sense at all. Please do not hesitate to correct me if I am wrong. :)

soo... how about those pictures?!?

Since we're throwing around random thoughts here...
Grass smells good.
Snow is cold, but can taste good when caught with your mouth.
Eating the ice that builds up unexpectedly on the wing of your 172 gives you courage...
