Shouldn't it consider one of them wrong since it uses either American or British English? Depending on settings?

But yes. It is possible. A lack of signal can indicate a 0 and a signal can indicate 1. Just like Morse code.

Wait, isn't that how it already works? Well then... I don't know.

1 and 0?  Back in my day, we made do with 1 and the letter "o"!  And sometimes we didn't even have the 1's!  By golly, we appreciated what we could get!  Programed an entire transmission control protocol using nothing more then "o"'s a little thing we call elbow grease.

As a serious question, does anyone know if programing can even work that way?  The history introduction in a computer science class I took mentioned that programming hasn't involved on/off gates since the ENIAC days.

Also, Firefox considers 'programing' and 'programming' to both be correct spelling.

REAL programers program that way, I am ont sure if any have been around since the ENIAC days, so you could still be right...

Ok, serious this time, you don't program that way, but some assembler were you simply write it in hex comes pretty close, and that's still (albeit rarely) used for various special applications.
Nowadays people tend to use slow, high-level languages. Like C. 

Edit: For the record, the assembler I use isn't one of those hex ones, thou I'd like to learn those, I use Linoleum. Linoleum is to Assembler what Ubuntu is to Linux.

rocks and sticks? Pha! Back in my day sticks weren't INVENTED yet!
(No sticks? Must have been before there was plant life on land then.)

I suggest trying out Brainfuck

The higher language are called that, as it uses syntax to represent the one and zero, even though it cannot be easily seen, that what still being used under it all.

Before transistors appeared on the drawing board, there were attempts at building mechanical computers that used sliding bars and such for computation.  A giant automatic slide-rule, or do-dads like the MONIAC.  Since that was sixty years ago, there are bound to be a few computer scientists still around who really can say that back in their day they only had rods and weights.

I make and mod role playing games for fun. And trying to make it for profit.

I demand a link to your website! 

Um... Yea so would I. Currently our goal is to get IP content that won't get us sued... Our last project was using StarWars Saga system for use in a fantasy setting, as we didn't like the pidgen holding of 4e. (though, I like 4e none the less. It a great introductory game for news person of the hobby)

I am going to be running one of our system, called Dungeon Dice, an original IP rp designed to be played spefically on a forum. Sometime on here. I can PM you when I get started. I'm still to terrible obsessed with DF.

BUt yea, we lack a functional website. Web design is a weak thing on our part. And living hundred something miles away from each other is straining to.

Ah I see...keep us updated! I am really interested in indie games & projects, because as we all know...indie devs are focusing on the quality of the gameplay.

Is it me or has this topic become one giant nerd dick waving contest? I.e. I bet I'm more nerdier than you!

Not for more then a page, which in geek*internet time is an eon.

[Yanlin]

My ePingas is bigger than yours!

[qwertyuiopas]

Really, in this context, it's more eProcessor, or any other e(computer component), maybe eLightsaber.

Also, Brainfuck?
Seen it. If you want a real challenge, go for Unlambda.
(note: code is an example off the site)

I took the Nerd Quiz 2.0 and got "Uber Cool High Nerd."  I had mid-high in everything except dorkiness, in which I got 0%, which is probably a bit too low.

I liked the movie Six String Samurai so much that I asked for it for Christmas... and got it. It's basically Buddy Holly meets Mad Max in a blender.

That and I can quote the first twenty lines from Richard III. Unlike most people, who can only misquote the first line.
