That's the only language computers really talk. Compiled software is binary, including the Linux kernel.

Can you speak binary to your computer? :)

No, but since it only has two values, I can type it really fast :) Creating a square wave with my vocal cords sounds painful...

Linux mainly uses the C programming language, which is made into an executable file that contains binary machine instructions. The binary properties of the computer are not unique to OS's

According to Uncyclopedia:


When programming with Linux, there are no longer simply 0 and 1 (binary). Linux enables the use of "2" (ternary). Rumor has it there is even a "3" in development.

Lol, luckily you're not the only one here who's familiar with the Binars. ;) As far as I know lots of technical people, working with computers or otherwise, are Star Trek fans.
