The guide does not help.
It said hal failed to start too.

Open the "X" bay doors hal.

I'm sorry smeezekitty, I'm afraid I can't do that But seriously, are there any other error messages?

What I'm doing now: trying to get myself confortable with hex math (I'm trying to learn x86 asm)...what a headache!

I just gotta remember that 8 is the median, not 5, and that might make things a little easier.

Not looking forward to the build up to the General Election. Thirty days of lies, empty promises, hypocrisy, and bull excrement.

I was playing around with logic circuits a long time ago and there I learned binary.

I must say that for me numbers like 4, 8, and 16 sometimes seem more even than 10, 100, and 1000.

Mostly what's hard for me is to translate from any other number base to decimal. I mean, I know how to do it, but I'd need either a calculator or a pen and paper to do it. That, and dealing with hex is odd, because you can have numbers with letter symbols in them. That kinda throws me off, because I tend to think along the lines of "A=10, B=11...", and that's not the way to do it. You have to really think in hex if you're gonna do any kind of complex math with it.

And you need to be able to do complex math with hex if you want to program in asm (for any architecture, not just x86).

That's true, I'm pretty bad at translating numbers.

I can count to 256 (0x100) in hex in my head

I sure can too!

That doesn't mean I can trasltate the hex to decimal mentally, though.

The issue isn't that I can't count in hex, I can do that just fine:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, 10, 11, 12...


But if you were to give me a problem like 12D7 + FE56, I'd need some time to think about it (and a pen and paper).

Bit-shifting is pretty straightforward, though (with even numbers):

2 << 1 = 4
4 << 1 = 8
8 << 1 = 10
10 << 1 = 20
20 << 1 = 40
40 << 1 = 80
80 << 1 = 100

and so on...

Lessee if I can do the big problem, though


12D7
+FE56
1213C


Was I right?

0x12D7 + 0xFE56 = 0x1112D so you are incorrect.
