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

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

      Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

      Um...what? Who said anything about letters? Your example wasn't hex because it was a sequence of decimal digits in binary form, having nothing whatsoever to do with hex. On the plus side, it is confirmed that we are truly geeks after all, since we're getting militantly pedantic over a bit of silliness. Silliness must make sense, damn it.

        If you meant hexadecimal why didn't you prefix it with 0x like you did in the last one. Anyway, you should stop trying to "fix it". It was disappointing initially but now is becoming sad.

        Because that would have the "joke", such as it was.

          Dayum, some of y'all are vicious.

          If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

            No you should have read it as AB11CDE. Anything else is moronic.

            Are you having a super bad day, or are you always like this?

              That is so stupidly irrelevant here ... just what I expect of you.

                Two months? Two whole months it took you to come up with that? :sigh: When you want to insult people, you have to work on a couple of things: a meme or theme for other insults; or something that will really hurt the victim; and most importantly: timing. A couple of hours you can get away with - particularly on an international forum where people might be asleep - but two days is too long, two weeks is stupid, and two months means they don't remember the conversation at all, or indeed who you even are... And trying to insult someone by using "irrelevancy" in the Lounge, where 99% of all posted material is wholly irrelevant anyway? Oh dear...that's never going to work. So start again, try to be a bit quicker; maybe work in a physical defect related comment; work with existing memes (for Nagy or MM that would be alcohol consumption, for me most relate to supposed bestiality - but try to avoid any racial or sexual slurs, they don't go down well); try to work in a topical cultural or a literary reference. Give it a go, and with practice you might be able to insult someone properly!

                    My word, how witty. One month to think about it and the best you can manage is "git". :sigh:

                      You continue to deserve both the word and such minor and infrequent attention. No, actually, it's too much ... the last I will say to you. (Except: You find this incomprehensible precisely because you are a git.)

                        Only four days this time! That would be impressive, if it had been in any way comprehensible...
