    Computers use binary, because their nature is to only recognize two states (on and off). Hence a language of 0 (off) and 1 (on) is perfect. However, it is a purely mathematical concept (bases and logarithms).

    well, yeah. but he was talking about learning it in school. i never heard of people learning binary in math class, only computers.

    oh i figured out why. by “halomed mikol adam” eize hu is written as two word. by “haroeh es hanolad” it’s witten eizehu – one word.

    One’s dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.

    A man doesn’t know what happiness is until he’s married. By then it’s too late.

    A married couple are well suited when both partners usually feel the need for a quarrel at the same time.

    Formula for success: Rise early, work hard, strike oil.

    Blogging: Never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few.

    Apathy: If we don’t take care of the customer,maybe they’ll stop bugging us.

    Bitterness: Never be afraid to share your dreams with the world, because there’s nothing the world loves more than the taste of really sweet dreams.

    Blame: The secret to success is knowing who to blame for your failures.

    Cluelessness: There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.

    Compromise: Let’s agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

    When birds fly in the right formation, they need only exert half the effort. Even in nature, teamwork results in collective laziness.

    Sometimes the best solution to morale problems is just to fire all of the unhappy people.

    Despair: It’s always darkest just before it goes pitch black.

    Futility: You’ll always miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, and, statistically speaking, 99% of the shots you do.

    Government: If you think the problems we create are bad, just wait until you see our solutions.

    Indifference: It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn’t take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

    Mistakes: It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.

    Stupidity: Quitters never win, winners never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.

    And finally, for my friends across the pond….

    Whining: If you expect to score points by whining, join a European soccer team.
