No, I'm quite sure he means 32 and 128. Any idiot knows that ROT26 puts you back where you started.

Unlike 'Libraries of Congress' (at least how the 'unit' is usually used), comparing political stability to radioactive half-life is actually relevant.

Since NAND gates can be combined to make AND, OR, and NOT gates, this means that bacteria could theoretically realize any logic circuit. Cool stuff.

While I agree with your sentiment, heroin withdrawal can also kill you.
