The ISO appears to sell it for $399. Those kinds of publications are pricey, thats a fact of life. If someone found it for $18 ? sounds like a bargain
Or maybe Im so smart, so amazingly qualified and so experienced that Im not afraid to be misinterpreted or misunderestimated
I admit that I want a refund on some of the tuition I paid because the school was incompetent, I was overqualified. You jump to conclusions, not very open minded
I said an 8 bit byte can represent the range of -127 to +127 and you said: "Nope"
Its like arguing that the inch scale of measurement is arbitrary, its not. With only a few rare exceptions in history, a byte is 8 bits, and is the standard. We note with disk and memory sizes, they are rated in Mega or Giga bytes. Network interface speeds in Mega bytes per second.
Western Digital could double their disk size by saying a byte is now 16 bits wide.
One of the other factors in using the byte system is the Base 2 math, and unless IM mistaken shifting left or right will double or divide by 2 the binary base 2 number. Designers would therefore prefer a byte that is a multiple, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
But since its already 8 bits, thats how its used.
When a person begins losing a debate and has no declarative or informative contribution, the discussion degrades into separate and unique steps, personal attacks (pig stupid), then profanity, then rage, then violence.
If you claim to have understood binary at that specific point in time? you would be over 100 years old. Congratulations that you are coherent and not senile
Yes I researched the site, the oddball, erroneous, unauthorized uses of the term "byte" exist. But the SAE measurement of inches has a better chance to be converted to metric than the byte has a chance of being other than 8 bits.
When a byte is represented as 9 bits, the 8 bits remain as the data the extra bit is a parity bit, meaning its a type of wrapper component, not a literal 9-bit word. If anyone in history combined 3 octal digits into a 9 bit word? its technically not the same.
The official C standard is rhetoric?
Thats what it means, by the majority of the industry, and your failure to provide any examples in the industry show that I was correct
Well then you wont want to know Ive contributed for years to make those things that launch into orbit whatever they are called, go up and keep the range safe so they fly up there and spin around or whatever they do.
I dont believe a McD's would hire me with my resume, too overqualified
Okay you win, Im sorry to upset you so much, if you want to say a 6 bit byte is a byte... no, I wont do it, youre wrong, I cant even pretend to concede, its an 8 bit byte
Well if you knew binary over 100 years ago, you should then of course know about the Hollerith punched card and what 2629 is.
I like punched card equipment, it was fun to work on with the mechanical stuff and electrical also
Well people do say everyone has to work harder when Im around
