If its computer, its binary. Computers dont work any other way THAN binary.
everything in a computer is reduced to 1's and 0's. Its also a feature of
addressing, which is also stricly binary. It doesnt matter how big a pulse
is, it will still normaly be grouped in a binary function. 2,4,8. Somethings
just dont change.
