Hijacking a thread, again
So ONS, can you work your magic and let me change my confirmed addict title. Hell, I'll even let you make up the title. (preferably, I AM FIDEL!)

And Pinner wins, with ONS being disqualified. I mean, come on, the commisaire beats Lance evry day in the tour, but since he's in a car, he doesn't count.

65536 = 2^16
So that means there's a hard limit to the post count (maybe stored as a "short"?). So, what happens when you go over that? Will it cycle around to -65535 or 0? Will there be a buffer overflow resulting in the board crashing? Or will it just sit there?
I'm thinking nothing will happen since the board hasn't crashed yet.

If it's an unsigned short it will cycle to zero, since the range is 0 to 65535.Originally posted by AntiSoCalSkier

If it's a signed short the range is -32767 to 32768.
Or if it's a bigger data type like a long or int64, he might have just entered 0xffff and left it at that.

OK, there's different number bases. We honky/cracker types are used to base 10.
So we write
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
10 12 12 13 14 15 16 ...
But in base 2, we write
0
1
10
11
100
101
110
111
etc.
Now laugh. Yes, it is extreme geek.

Hex is base 16
So there we write
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
10 11 12 13 14...1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f
Usually prepended by 0x.
So 0xa/5 == 2

Man you are bringing back some memories for me here. Now that I have a job, I never use this stuff. It was sweet to know it at one point though.Originally posted by Buster Highmen
