wow...wow...WOW!!! i just discovered one of the greatest things in the world!...i was watching an anime, and there was a graphic drawn in it of a common object (an on/off switch), which was drawn a bit funny, and then it clicked (no pun intended) about why on/off switched have a | and a O symbol on them, or an | cutting through half the O...its cos the | represents a 1 (one) and the O represents a 0 (zero), denoting the binary respresentation of true and false, 1 being true, or "on" and 0 meaning false, or "off". so the | means its on and the O means its off! what an amazing discovery!

am i wikid or what ;)
