I now have exactly 255 forum posts. This is a very special number as it's the maximum value of a string of 8 bits, which is very important in computer terms. I'm planning to stop using this account so it stays at that number, and I will be creating a new account soon.

    Bits are signed by default (2^7 = 128).

    You know, bytes are not always signed. For instance, in 8-bit RGB codes, the numbers range from 0 to 255. I think you're attacking my posts more out of a personal resentment and bitterness towards me than anything else.

    Oh, I'm sorry then, unsigned, right? 2^8 = 255+1, or 256. Nice job kiddo. It may be special in CSS and RGB codes, but unfortunately any use of in application is 0xFFFF &
