It was just a play words to start with but after the responses I've had to it with people pointing out how wrong I am, even insulting me straight away, indignant in their superior knowledge, I kept it on for the fun of it.

It's even where I learned it myself about gray code. All I had remembered was the encoding I was told about in school in the mid 80s that wasn't powers of two but was 5-3-1-1 0-10 being :
I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer to a previous question and advise him that, in future, he should not jump to the (obviously erroneous) assumption that all he knows is all there is.
The Dietary and Nutritional Survey of British Adults, Gibson (1996, p. 405) concluded that "sugars appear to have a weak negative [italics added] association with BMI that is not totally explained by confounders such as dieting, under-reporting or the inverse correlation between energy from sugars and fat."
Despite fears of Godwin, census data has been responsible for the deaths of millions of Europeans. It even has IBM involved in the story. They made $M of dollars leasing the Hollerith machines and Hollerith cards to their European subsidiaries.
The Juden were marked before the Nazis marched into many of the European countries thanks to IBM's census, and they knew the pattern.
The story of France's census data is particularly illuminating as the guy there (I forget his name without re-reading the book) did a good job of non-collaboration and delay.
Thomas J. Watson., IBM's President, didn't receive the "Eagle with Star" in 1937 for nothing !

The reason we can't leave our doors unlocked is because there is stuff inside worth having. 100 years ago all we had was dirt and fleas. Now we have the shiny it has made us unsafe.
It took a lot of murders of the people by the police for us to unarm our cops. Now they're trying to scare us into our homes with burglars, paedophiles and terrorists and demanding to be armed with weapons and more powers again.
Fuck that.
Here's an idea, stop dropping bombs on people from the sky and they might stop blowing themselves up at the checkpoint.
Though I would have already contacted him via communicator while on the way to the bridge.
There, No.1 would join me after performing his rounds.
After that, anything could happen. I might be kidnapped by a gaseous being trying to escape a time warp, fall in love with a woman who dies tragically, get in a fist fight with someone I trained with but was always unhinged and I knew he'd turn out no good, though when I have the chance to kill him I will relent because people are basically good inside and need another chance if they make a mistake.
f = ma would be a good place to start to educate yourself. It is also wise to consider that cornering is acceleration. And that decceleration is negative acceleration.
Just as you convince yourself that it can't possibly make a difference take a look at the World Touring Car rules concerning ballast and ask youself why they bother with something so pointless when they could just add a new wing instead. Here it is summarized :
Changes to "Success Ballast" Rules This year every driver started the season with 10kg ballast. More is then added between meetings based on both race results and championship position. Results ballast is added up to a maximum of 40kg and a minimum of -10kg. Championship position ballast is added at a rate of 5kg for every 10 points scored. The two ballasts combined may total up to a maximum of 60kg.

It's not a gray code but it lead me there via discussion.
More interestingly for me, it was invented at Bell-Labs and I'm a Plan 9 user which hails from the same place.
Is it now? You seem sure for someone who is wrong.
Your "I know it all" sense is broken, you mean : "II is also 2 in unary as well as the binary encoding in your sig."
Though the other reply you solicited could well be true also.
Are you sure ? I could have sworn I did my research before changing my signature. You'd best apologise now before it gets messy.
troff doc.tr | ps2pdf works fine for me

I'm afraid the proof of ignorance is in the opposite direction.

Your assumption on a power of two binary encoding is incorrect, thank you for illustrating my point.
> they contracted the software, and it was delivered to their specifications.
Got a URI for those specifications? I'd like to make up my own mind.
"Binaries" is plural because there is more than one possible binary encoding. In this case 11 is two. You are in class 00.

Despite your best efforts, your analysis is wrong.
The brakes in your car are not the only way it slows down, you should study it some time.
Recalibrate your communicator, the computer is giving you the wrong results.

I don't know what car you drive but 30kg is 2% of the body weight of a Toyota Camry so it isn't free.
