if what is in binary? there has been no binary on this page yet...

binary numbers are represented by a string of ones and zeros

i mentioned binary indeces, that does not mean the numbers following were in binary

also that is not the best way to 1337 that, if I remember correctly... going back a ways here... to the days when leet wasn't for "n00bs", but for those who wanted to talk privately on public bbs...

1337 |-| @ >< 0 |2 5 |_| |\| ][ + 3!!!11

i leave the 1337 in homage, i would otherwise use

hahaha cool,
i find it iteresting to look at leet as a dynamic language and a form of privacy, however all the ppl that use it online just to talk normally, annoy the hell out of me.

ok, the idea behind high leet was that actual moderators could still read leet as it was relatively visually phonetic i.e. SPEAK to 5P3@K reads pretty easily if you know the language...

high leet is still visually representing the letters, but unless you are really committed to being fluent, it is impossible to read at any normal rate.

The idea is simple. using only one line of typographic symbols, it is difficult to write every character without using some char's to represent themselves... i.e. f or p. it would be trivial to create such characters with only typesetting symbols if the typer utilized two lines of leet for one line of text, i.e.

p becomes

| )
|

and f becomes
|"
|"

or even

|""
|"

however, because of some bbs removal of whitespace formatting, and the lack of a universal font, the result for the word speak might be:

|"" | ) |= /\ | /
_| | |_ /--\ | \

or

|""|)|=/\|/
_|||_/--\|\

which is pretty much unreadable

therefor a condensed form was created, whereby each letter is a single line consisting of the top portion of the letter next to it's bottom portion and each letter is seperated by a single space, words are seperated by double space or more and the mess is utterly unreadable.

|""|)|=/\|/
_|||_/--\|\

becomes

|""_| |)| |=|_ /\/--\ |/|\

which is more unreadable at first, but once you're used to it, you can type and read relatively quickly.

I think I saw a website, maybe related to one of the UK University's where they're even now trying to calculate Pi as far as possible.. Can't remember the URL....Anyone know...or even care that much?

well, pi in binary is a simple conversion from pi in decimal, so i'm certain people have written pi to many decimal places in binary, however, no one has "calculated" pi, as it is not rational, so you can only ever approximate it.

its been approximated to over 6 billion digits by computer...
the world record for reciting pi from memory is 42,000 digits...
at CMU today, i helped write pi in chalk across the sidewalks on campus to 2^14th digits, thats more than 16,000
