I think you'll find that's spelt 10 on computers, since the thread started in binary

Get off your backsides & go & do some jobs on the boat

This thread reminds me of those bored radio operators you hear on Ch 16 in the middle of the night.

In Greece you can leave Ch16 on all night(or at least till the next Olympia Radio weather and Nav broadcast) Local morons and "jokers" just don't bother. Nobody uses VHF like CB radio there! All that Solent chatter is just idiocy.

OK, let's play. Is '0' actually a number? In theory? Does it have a value? If not, what is it? And what is the point of several '0's, such as 00000000?
