I can't believe ElectricChair racked up over 300 TPDs!

I need to time my departure from work carefully tonight - I really want 32767 and / or 32768

Whats the significance of them?

[NickFitz]

I still don't have a development environment or any work to do. As far as I can tell, the earliest I might be able to actually do something will be Thursday morning.

Ho hum

[TheFaQQer]

Actually, I can.

Whats the significance of them?

32767 = (2^15) - 1 = 111 1111 1111 1111 binary = 7FFF hex
32768 = 2^15 = 1000 0000 0000 0000 binary = 8000 hex

[cailin maith]

32767 = (2^15) - 1 = 111111111111111 binary
32768 = 2^15 = 1000000000000000 binary

I hate numbers....

"Here's the science..."

32767 is the exact value of 32k.

From a sad, techie perspective that makes it an interesting number.

32768 is 32k + 1 which on some systems would cause a buffer overflow error.

32767 is the maximum length of a character string in an Oracle database, so one more than that would cause it to error.

I was on a rig out in the bristol channel laying an outfall pipeline at Barry in south wales.
Also tried to pull my own tooth once with pliers. never ever try this at home folks.
Crushed tooth, exposed nerve and had to go to the hospital

My explanation is much more user friendly!
