Is ASCII Code relevant for Apocalypse 13:18? I think so

[hansgeorg]

It's also it's own proper name.

In German and Swedish you are right.

In Latin or Greek both of them are short for Ioannes/Ιωάννης

[hansgeorg]

I think hansgeorg is the only one who's taking this discussion seriously.

I should hope so.

If Meh Gerbil left, you may be right.

I think it is hilarious that a guy who refuses to acknowledge that zero is a number, wants to use binary numerology.

I'm sure you remember in the old days when the first hard drive (or device) in a chain was called "Drive 0", then "Drive 1", "Drive 2", etc..... And, as your implying, 0 one of only TWO states in binary digital logic.

Apparently, American culture is not the only thing you don't get.

I am not refusing zero the status of a useful numeral.

Say A = 65, 64+1

01000001

The ones are numerals designating by position respectively 64 and 1. Which are numbers.

The zeros only designate the positions which have no number attached to them.

So, if you billed me for $1,000 worth of work (assuming you could produce that much work), I could give you a check for $1, and you'd be happy? The heck with all those pesky zeroes!

No, you could give me a check for 1 k$, or a check for M $ - supposing the bank would accept such designation.

It is only in Arabic numerals that zeros are necessary to designate position and position differentiates on whether "1" means I, X, C or M.

This one doesn't even merit a serious response.

Because you don't have any.

I am not disputing the status zero had between Fibonacci and the decision to call it a number.

1 means I when standing alone, X when standing before one zero, C when standing before two zeros and so on (even beyond Roman numerals).

2 means II, XX, CC, MM according to how many if any zeros come after.

All this means is that zero is a numeral, not that it is so because it is a number.

as usual, his rationalizations make ZERO sense. He told me fractions don't exist because nobody would sell half an apple and it would spoil too fast.

Numeral - a figure, symbol, or group of these denoting a number.

[hansgeorg]

I told you they were not numbers, that is quite another matter.

Half an apple cannot be sold among a number of apples, for reason stated. So, half an apple is not counting how many apples.

I never said it doesn't exist or occur!

BUT, that one would be better placed on the thread "my hero, zero", wouldn't it?

[hansgeorg]

Numeral - a figure, symbol, or group of these denoting a number.

Well, zeros do denote numbers, not in themselves, but when joined to other Arabic numerals.

"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one". That's "zero" righteous. That's purdy durn significant!
