.:Computer Defense:.

So I do some programming... not a lot but enough to get by... I like networking, I like operating systems... I like getting my hands dirty... to me programming has always been something done by people that can't use a computer in it's entirety... This belief is slowly starting to change... so I've decided to look further into the subject. To start... I looked into Little Endian and Big Endian numbers... It's really as simple as it sounds.. (unless someone replies and tells me I'm a moron). With little endian, the little number goes in the lowest address space.. so Ones, then 10s, then Hundreds (if you're talking decimal). With big endian, the big number goes in the lowest address space.. Hundreds, than 10s, then ones... Little Endian = PC, Big Endian = Motorola (Pre-Intel Macs)... now I'm curious about the Intel Macs.. If anyone knows and wants to save me a simple google search.. feel free to contribute.. otherwise I'll do some googling..

Anyways.. I relied on this page which proved very interesting... Check it out http://www.cs.umass.edu/~verts/cs32/endian.html.

Peace,
