  • Today's Fox Trot ...



    I love this comic. Those who feel the need to translate the binary bytes to ASCII characters will get a nice side joke.

        Gotta love Fox Trot. I saw the comic earlier today, but I didn't translate it until now. Even better!

          Nah, just Google ASCII TABLE, and use the scientific calculator function in Windows to convert binary to decimal or hex. Match the numbers from the conversion to the table and you're done. Once you get the first letter of the second word you know what the message is anyway.

              I did post the hex numbers above, so you would only have to consult an ascii table

                  Converted to decimal in head and then used the ALT key combo to type it into Notepad.

                  I guess it was right.
