Are beats headphones worth the amount they cost compared to cheaper good quality ones like Sony. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.10.247.39 ( talk) 16:27, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
If I want to know what the decimal equivalent of, say, the binary number 0.101 is, I can't enter it in while the binary radio button is selected and then switch to the decimal radio button, as I can easily do for numbers greater than 1, because the radix point is unavailable in programmer mode. I have to manually in Scientific mode add 2^-1 + 2^-3. Obviously, this particular example is easy to do manually, but it stinks when I want to find out what .1100101010100001110 is. Why is there no radix point available in programmer mode? 75.75.42.89 ( talk) 23:52, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
