bi to the two minus 2, or how i learned to stop worrying and love hex...

two is bi...  it always helps me learn when i can put ideas in a sexual context...

two to the fourth will get you sixteen, and sixteen will get you 20 so be careful there... wait, 16 will get you hex, that's legal...  but back to bi...

2 to the seventh is a significant number... it is the beginning of the class b range of addresses and two to the eighth will get you 256... so what is this 255 horseshit?  0 = 0 and 255 = 1... what happened to 256... it took me a while but 0 to 255 is 256 numbers total... now 2 to the 8th makes sense...

hex is not bi and it's sixteen based so why does f = 15?  because it includes the zero... 0 to 9 are decimal numbers that are included in hex... so what is 10 in hex?  with hex you need to know your abc's...

0 = off,  and 1 = 255 which in turn equals on... 0 and one are bi, but 1 is always turned on...  better off hooking up with the one, more action there...

there are 8 bits in an octet and 32 bits in an ip address... 8 is two to the third, 32 is 2 to the fifth.. how many octets in an ip address?

the numbers started to turn me on...
