In the UK before 1971, there was a different monetary system in place, with three basic levels - pounds, shillings and pence.\nPence is another word for pennies, or single coins like 1 cent pieces.\nIn the old "Imperial" system, it worked like this:\n1/4 of a penny = farthing\n1/2 of a penny = half-penny (or ha'penny)\n1 penny = 1 "pence"\n3 pence - Threepenny piece (or Thruppenny Bit)\n6 pence - Sixpence\n12 pence = 1 shilling\n20 shillings = 1 pound \nMaking 240 pennies, or pence, to the pound.\n\nThere were other coins amounting to specific amounts within the system. The Florin, for instance, was worth two shillings (or 24 pence). The Half-Crown, just for fun, was worth two shillings and six pence (30 pence in total) and the Crown, understandably, was worth two Half-Crowns (equivalent to 5 shillings, or 70 pence). And finally the Guinea, which was worth one pound and one shilling (21 shillings, or 252 pence)\n\nIn 1971, the UK joined the metric system, based on there being 100 pence in every pound. The currency was also revalued, so that a shilling was now only worth 5 pence, rather than 12, so that there were still 20 shillings in a pound (largely to help people deal with the change when budgetting their weekly shopping!)\n\nAs far as I know the Crown and Half-Crown are no longer in active use - if you think about it, a half-crown, being worth two shillings and six pence, would now be a coin worth 16 pence, which is a little unweildy for shopping purposes. And similarly, the crown, being worth five shillings, would now be worth one pound twenty-five pence.\n\nSo now in the UK, we have the following units\n1p - one penny or one pence\n2p - two pence\n5p - five pence (one shilling)\n10p - ten pence (two shillings)\n20p - twenty pence (for some reason, calling this four shilings hasn't caught on)\n50p - fifty pence (ten shillings)\n£1 - one pound\n£2 - two pounds - the newest coin to be introduced. After this we go to notes, with £5 being the first.\n\nHowever, just to confuse matters even further, you'll still find mention of guineas and crowns in particular settings - several high-profile horse races award prizes in guineas and crowns. But for the majority of the population, they don't exist as actual coins any more. Incidentally, while researching this answer, I've discovered there was also a half-guinea and a five-guinea coin prior to decimalisation. \n\nSource(s):\n\nhttp://www.johnowensmith.co.uk/histdate/...\nhttp://www.simetric.co.uk/si_imperial.ht...\nhttp://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl...\nhttp://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl...

You will need a piece of softeware, BITPM is good. There is a thread on this on the link below:

By toggling the bits!

If its a ink sensor then you burn the little ball part until the springs pop out, you might have to dig a bit but it will come off. If its not an ink sensor go to the hardware store to get (i can't think of the name, sorry) but it looks like a fork with only 2 proungs and you put it in between the sensor and pop it off.

Hmmm.....50 quid? If you do manage to get one for 50 quid then there is probably something wrong with it. I'm afraid you are probably going to have to fork out the full whack like the rest of us!!\n\nYou could try ebay as there is usualy a healthy trade is Laser bits and bobs there.

It is not a specific bit which determins if there is an error, usually a checksum of all bits is checked to tell you if there is an error.

My freind Kyle knows how to do this. He had his own at one point.  But he isnt online right now. Im really sorry.. but if you keep this question open for a bit I can get back to you on this. \n\nHe just came online.. and im really sorry but he says it's very hard to explain! I really wish I could help though :(

Maybe the following picture will give you an idea:\nhttp://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dpeter508/detail?.dir=/c51a&.dnm=b97fre2.jpg&.src=ph\n\nThis is a binary pattern painted on the shaft, with three sensors (red dots in the pic).  The outermost sensor will detect black and white squares, and can determine rotational speed based on the rate that the black and white squares go by.  As the shaft rotates, the sensors will detect the 3-bit pattern painted on the shaft at any point.  If the shaft is turning in one direction, the pattern will appear to "count up" or down depending on direction.

We want to figure out what BER is, just knowing the chance that a symbol (two bits in a row) gets an error.\n\nThe chance that a single bit stays the same is 1-BER.\nAssuming errors are independent, then the chance that two bits in a row are unchanged is (1-BER)^2.  So, set this equal to 0.8 (the chance that an entire symbol is unchanged), and solve for BER.\n\n(I answer this w/o knowing, off-hand, what Amplitude Shift Keying is; this answer just relies on the fact that bit errors will be independent.)

it is a fork shaped bone you can find on a chicken. traditionnally, two peoplee grab one end each, make a wish and pull. the bone breaks and thedream of the  person who has the longest bit will come true!

A calculator operates nothing like an abacus, sorry, nor are all possible answers pre-stored and just "looked up" as needed.\n\nThe full answer to your question is kind of complicated, but... well, it's too complicated to explain.  But I went and found a good website that might give you a good overview of how it works.\n\nhttp://computer.howstuffworks.com/boolean.htm\n\nThis should cover what you're looking for. \nGood luck.

8 bits is a byte... 4 bits is a byte... whether your binary looks like 10011000, 11111111, or 00000001 or 00000000, it's all a byte. If you have 1001, the machine will automatically make it 00001001. It will just add zero's in front of it to make it a byte.

Properties of mathematics makes it work. I'm not sure exactly what it has you do but essentially it does this.\n\nIf your number is X. You add 5 to it then subtract 5 from it and you get your original number. Of course the nice ones hide the fact that your doing exactly this. \n\nDavid Copperfield did a TV bit once where he had a 3X3 square. You start out at any square you want and move according to his directions. After each move he took away a square. In the end you always end up on one square. That was cool. Anyone heard of it?
