11 Kinds of People or 10 That Understand Digital - RF Cafe Forums
RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media
platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around
August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and
Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe
Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great
posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads,
including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

Greetings:
I saw a bumper sticker on a truck that said, "There are 11 types of
people in this world, those that speak binary, those that don't, and those that know
enough to get this joke". It is kind of a rip-off of the more prevalent , "There are
10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't."
I guess you could extend that to just about any length digital number, but it loses
cleverness after the original 10.
