"In the spirit of the Fourth of July, we’ve put together some posters with a few of our favorite quotes from our Gov (1.0) heroes. They helped define the very principles we want our fellows to realize through Gov 2.0 — democracy, participation, and patriotism — so they couldn’t be more relevant now. Check out all six below; each links to a printable (and text-selectable) pdf. Share, print, and post them to spread the word, and help others see how we’re all — coders, old and new — speaking the same language."

Quotes in binary from Kennedy, FDR, Susan B. Antony, Adama, and Eleanor Roosevelt.

Thought this might be of interest to the resident geeks of FR.

If you have Windows Powershell:

PS C:\> [char[]]"We The People" |% {[convert]::tostring([int]$_,2)}

Note - if you have Windows 7, it's installed by default. It's available as a free download to add on to Windows versions back through XP SP2.

It still blows my mind. 0,1, etc.

There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
