That basically is 7DFx16 which basically means seventh dark Friday which basically means that the end is near which basically means that HL 3 is confirmed which basically means that ELVIS LIVES which basically means that we are geeks

Excellent, excellent! Good observation, I shall be pointing it out to people this afternoon. I like numbers.

As I was driving home last night I was following a car with a number plate along the lines of AB11CDE. I realised that I was reading the plate as AB2CDE. It did occur to me that given the job I do I should have read it as AB3CDE.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Last week I was shocked to see the plate

That's not hex. That's Binary Coded Decimal.

Given that there are only two symbols available in binary it inevitably has the highest proportion of palindromes to numbers of any system. I imagine the lack of fanfare reflects this simple fact that it really is no big deal especially given the entirely arbitrary numbering of years in the first place. Now if it also coded a Turing machine that gives the date of the Second Coming or encoded "See, I do exist!" then there might be a reason for us to be ashamed to have missed it!

That is so stupid in so many ways ... and yet it got an upvote? That's not hex, it's BCD, which is totally different. And of course if the decimal isn't a palindrome then neither is the BCD. The hex, 7df, isn't a palindrome either, but that's completely irrelevant ... much like, if I say that your mother's name means "whore" in Turkish, you counter that it doesn't mean "whore" in Chinese. Shame is an understatement for what you should be feeling for this idiocy.

0x2015 is as much hex as 0xFD3E Just because a number doesn't contain A-F doesn't stop it being a hexadecimal number.

"a Turing machine that gives the date of the Second Coming" And we would know that's what it encoded how, exactly? FWIW, according the Bible (a work of allegorical fiction, not history), Jesus told his followers that he would return in their lifetimes. People scoff at crackpots like Harold Camping, but all of religion is like that.

You would sound slightly less like an idiot if you removed the word "basically" from your vocabulary.
