Yes. Well... I opened the mail-program (Thunderbird =D ) and wanted to send a mail to my dad quickly. Then I suddenly saw how many mails I got.


You got 255 new mails

...
I check my inbox about all three days. I only get about 30 mails then. Guess what. They were all comments, favorizing- and subscribing-notifiers to a video I put on YouTube. It's the Angry German Kid. I translated the video correctly with subtitles. And apparently it's NOT spam, but real comments. Here are the statistics as for now.

277 ratings. (4/5 Stars)

Holy shiznet.

Here's the video. http://youtube.com/watch?v=kBVmfIUR1DA

Today, I felt what kind of power the internet has. O_o



Edit:
That is scary !@#$%, kids. My video has been featured on a few sites. O____o Just enter some text from the description of the video, or the name and my name on google and see the results. O____O!!!

"IT LOADS.. IT LOADS... I DONT WANT IT TO LOAD.."

Wow... This kids bad. In all seriousness he'll probably die of a heart attack when he trys to play processor-!@#$% games like Oblivion, and everything thats going to come out in the near future.

"Yay! I Press FIRE!" .. Oh god... "I dont need help. I dont need help"...  Ewwwuuu...

Well, you did a good/funny translation and subtitling job, so hey, you deserve some 255 emails to make you feel better :D.

XDDDD At first I felt like "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" because racoon boy asked me about a PM by me. I was like "Did somebody heck my account and sent stupid PMs to everybody or WHAT?" Turned out that he meant my subtitle at MSN. O_o

Well, I feel quite good now. :P Thanks.

Isn't 255 some kind of special number with intengers (sp?) or something?

255 = maximum value that can be held by a single byte.

Hot dayum, that movie was <3ly. Fake, yes, probably, but so entertaining!

Finally, now it's my turn.

A byte can contain more than 255. It's all about the way you choose to read it. A byte doesn't necessarily have to be 8 bits either. But anyway, now let's say it's an octet, you can say it can only contain 256 different values. If these are between 0 and 255 or 20000 and 20255 can only be told by the programmer. Heck, s/he could even make the 256 different values go to random numbers.

Woah now. Sure, you could use the byte as an address, or an index, or preform mathmatical operations on it to transform it into a bigger value, but the input byte itself is still a byte. It can only store 256 different values, because its a byte.

Besides, where are you going to store the results of your above-mentioned operation? You can't store the results in a byte, because those numbers you mentioned wouldn't fit in 8 bits. You need a larger data type.
Code: [Select]
short iResult; //16bit long to hold result
iResult = nByteValue + 20000;
So, let's clear this up: yes, you can use a byte as an address. You can use it as an index. You can use it as input for a program which will output a number which could not be held by a byte. But that byte is still a byte, and the maximum value you can store in 8 bits is 255.

PS: back on topic! Fox, since you speak german, is this guy saying the same things? Then there's this other translation, which is doubtless wrong, but still hilarious! =D Fox, you're a genius. =)

Well you can still decide that "this" byte is between 20000 and 20255 so everytime it is used it needs to be added to 20000, because I may choose to use a byte instead of a short because it uses less memory with a tradeoff that it uses a few extra cycles everytime it is used (heck, I could even add zero to a "normal" used byte, but that would be a waste of CPU cycles). My point is that you can't say what a data type can contain, but merely how many different values (combinations) it can contain.

There's nothing that says it IS 255 when all bits are set. It's all up depening on the architecture, the programmer and various other factors that decide what a byte is at a given bitcombination. You could however always say that a octet byte can contain 256 different values, but that's it.
