Binary
Actually, binary is actually written 0bbinary and not binaryb, just letting you know. --SvipTalk 15:17, 19 April 2007 (PDT)


 * Actually, if you must be anal, that is a language-dependent issue. In some computer languages, 0b## is used, while others use ###b. In mathematics, base is generally indicated as a subscript following the number indicating the base (the subscript itself is always expressed in base 10). Since all computer representations, including 0b## and ##b, are relatively new and designed to bypass the common limitiation of computers which do not allow the use of subscripts in raw text, technically the traditional mathematical expression would be "correct" if you wanted to get technical, and all other expressions are only correct if they are in the context of a given computer language.

 * I do what Google tells me to do, and it tells me to use 0b. And Google has enough money to make it correct.  :p --SvipTalk 15:47, 19 April 2007 (PDT)
 * My impression of you from your contributions to the Wiki are generally positive; don't make me change my mind by insisting on getting into a pissing contest. K? Thanks. Gopher 15:49, 19 April 2007 (PDT)
