OMG.  The double or triple conversion using the Microsoft WingDings.  That ALWAYS messes them up.  (Use wingdings as the final conversion)

Hey, are you mining anything in particular? BTC, LTC, DGC?

Oooh.  The WingDing of the MD5 Hash of the binary of the ASCII.  To tell the boss to suck your butt & you quit!

Looking to spice it up.  

Try this...

Go to work and explain to any non-computer person why a computer counts from 0 instead of 1.  

Or do you even know?  Why does a computer start counting at 0?  What is the meaning of computer zero?

I know...   ..and you do too...  ..but why??

Because there is only 1 & 0 in binary aka yes & no.  Roll Eyes
Together they mean more than just 1 & 0
figure  this out:
01101110011011110110111101100010
 Grin

It looks like a 32-bit single-precision floating point number to me...

If I'm right, you're trying to represent the number 18,525,392,726,298,504,216,192,968,032

EDIT: Or maybe it's just an ordinary 32-bit number representing 1,852,796,770 but that's just boring.
Depends how you interpret it sir it can be converted into either an integer or a string.  Cool

Of course I didn't think of that one Tongue I guess I'm a 01101110011011110110111101100010.

Hmm.  First step would be Quaternary.  With simple silicon layers.  Instead of on or off, you could have on / off / up / down.  After that I'm sure it all peanuts...  Buahaha.  Not!

No, seriously though.  The reason is cause computers are in the business of tracking everything.  Even if that EVERYTHING is nothing.  Therefore zero (0) is assigned to nothing.  Because if you just left a data bank empty the computer would want to know what you meant.  Nothing entered does not equal nothing to a computer.  Nothing entered equals an empty variable.  Nothing is represented as zero, or off. It is a calculated state of being.  Therefore when asking a computer to count without programming interference it starts where it knows how to start.  The first spot on the integer chain.  i.e. zero.  "What do you have first before you start anything?"  Zero.
Computers use binary because modern circuits, in basic terms, basically have two states ON or OFF which is either 0 or 1, YES or NO. Cant wait for quantum computing!

The problem is I don't know, I guess 0 and 1 are just symbols for binary, it can be anything else in the world.

Sorry but this made no sense to me at all.
