Hexadecimal (base 16) representation of a computer register contaning zero. We use hex because it's easier to understand than pure binary, and very easy to convert between the two. Could also use octal (base 8) but I've always been a man for hex. I just thought that with the messageboard slant it was a more appropriate way of saying the same as Onne. :o

Edit: That should read base 8 for octal but PHP seems to interpret it as a smiley :roll:

It's all binary down at the hardware level. Hex is commonly used by programmers because it's more convenient for certain things.

Funny numbers that are used to write computer applications - VERY dull, but sometimes useful :D

Oh, ok.

Thanks Andrew. I don't do very dull, and I'm not sure it will ever be useful, but you never know :o. I shall keep it in mind just in case. :lol:

That almost sounds as if you're paranoid. Then again, even if you're not paranoid, that won't mean that "they" are not after you :o
