Do you think Mana does know the computer language? (sorry, I dont know how the name is in english) but you sure know the 0100011011101(2)... and also for (5), (10) and (16).

Like this one I just made:

3(16)1BC(16)63(16)_22B(16)29A(16)378(16)21(16)


:mana:

PS: Do japanese mobile phones also have the letters like the "normal" ones from here:

<-

i've always wondered the same thing!!!!!

here is what wikipedia said:

omg how long does it take to write a SMS with a japanese mobile phone XD

Just found that:

Japanese mobile phones have the capability to use very large sets of characters and icons based on JIS standards that define characters for industrial appliances. More than one thousand characters including all of the Latin alphabet, hiragana, katakana, kanji and special characters like cm (centimeter), arrows, musical notes and more can be used to compose messages. Japanese mobile phones also use emoticons differently from Western mobile phones (see Japanese emoticons).

These character sets are used extensively, and often in a way that do not use their original meaning by relying more on the information based on the shape each character has. For example, '\' may be attached at the end of a sentence to show that they are not happy about the event described. A sentence like "I have a test today\" (translated) might mean that he or she didn't study enough, or that the test itself is depressing. Some of these usages disappeared as suitable icons were made but these newly made icons also acquired a usage not originally intended. Another example deals with the astrological symbol for Libra (♎). It resembles a cooked and puffed mochi, and is sometimes used in a happy new year's message as mochi are often eaten then. The symbol for Aquarius (♒) resembles waves, so this would be used to mean 'sea'. The number of icons gradually increased and they are now colored on most cell phones, to make them more distinct. ASCII art is also used widely and many of them are faces with expression. (see also Shift JIS art)

Gyaru-moji

One very distinct form of writing is called 'gyaru-moji ('gal characters' named after the fashion style 'gyaru' or 'gal' because the people of this fashion style are the ones who often use this kind of lettering). For example Lt wouldn't correspond to the Latin characters 'L' and 't' but instead it would correspond to the hiragana, け ('ke'). Notice that it looks very similar when written. Many hiragana, katakana and kanji are taken apart and reassembled using different characters including alphabet characters. It is unclear why this usage is now seen. Some believe that this started as a way of making secret messages that a quick peek wouldn't reveal, while others claim that it was just for fun. This can be related to the way the English language hacking culture uses 1337 language to hide the meaning of the words typed. It is also possibly due to different character limits when different languages are used, e.g. 160 Latin characters and 70 Unicode (inc. kanji). By splitting the characters into alpha-numeric characters, it extends the possible over-all length of the message.

Teenagers and mobile phones

Paging devices used in the late 1980s to early 1990s predate mobile phones and paved the way for the popularity of the phones among teenagers. Pagers could only display numbers and were intended to alert the owner that he or she had received a call from a certain phone number, but teens quickly began using numeric messages to communicate everything from greetings to everyday emotions. Most were based on various ways numbers could be read in Japanese. Examples are

* 4-6-4-9 -- yo-ro-shi-ku ("hello," "best regards")
* 3-3-4-1 -- sa-mi-shi-i ("I feel lonely")
* 8-8-9-1-9 -- ha-ya-ku-i-ku ("hurry up, let's go")

With the rapidly falling prices of cell phones in the mid 1990s, young people began experimenting with the short message service that the mobile phone companies started offering. When the i-mode service became available, the mobile phone culture began flourishing in earnest as this service offered an E-mail application. Magazines and television regularly make specials focusing on the current trend of how mobile phones are used by young people.

long but ineresting!! O.O



I want to have this mobile phone *.*
Perfect machine for comfortable watching of fanservice on the busway to school :D

My boss is into numerology and stuff like that so I asked her the meaning of 10. Not sure I really got her explanation (sounded similar to Mana's though...).

And as for binary and other numeral systems... I really doubt Mana knows much about this (even though he's a geek)...

Here's a lil message:

01000100 01001001 01011000 00100000 01001100 01101111 01110110 01100101 00100001 00100001 00100001

Dix Love!


am I right?

Yes! Or to be more accurate DIX Love!!!

Hey, I havent thought here are so many numberlovers <33 :D

You know what I wrote (in the first post)? ^.^

I know binary, and that's that. :P
Did try and learn a little hex at uni though...

For numbers its pretty easy:




(punish me if there are mistakes :P )

***

And for letters you have know that 65 is A and 68 id D etc.





* 0041 for A is in 16B system so you make again 0041(16)=1x1+4x16=65

65=2x32+1
32=2x16+0
16=2x8+0
8=2x4+0
4=2x2+0
2=2x1+0
1=2x0+1

=1000001(2)

(but I used the system of typing it into the cellphone ^^)

i'm really bad with numbers and i don't know anything about binary sistem... i'm not really much good in maths... :unsure: thank god i'll never study it again :rolleyes:
