Technically, just numbers. 1's and 0's to be precise.
For these next Gen consoles, i'm going off games and ability. The PS3 is looking promising.
I'm getting an X-Box soon enough, only to fuck with it and put Linux on it. Might need to talky to Dave about that.

Bleh, everything in computers boils down to 1's and 0's. Including this text I'm typing.

yeah but doing programming via 0's & 1's directly is very very very very very time consuming if (11001 01111 10101) (01011 01110 01111 10111) (1011 01000 00001 10100) (01001) (01101 00101 00001 01110)
that took 10 minutes and a brushing off of my extremely rusty binary.

Yeah, true, most coding is in text form nowadays. but that text still derives back to ASCII

Stop trying to talk about stuff that none of you really understand.

You don't fully appreciate what these things mean until you learn how to make a compiler. It kinda joins the gaps.

oh, whoa betide if Chewi was actually WRONG for once.
Eitherway, I type shit onto my screen in Visual Basic. Numbers, letters and characters appear on my screen, when I think back, those numbers and letters cannot appear on my screen with the PC being told that A is a certain ASCII number, which goes back toa binary interger.
THUS, ALL CODE IS BINARY.

if u think it in those terms is pretty much fucked as most and nearly all in the computer world is binary. But no one looks it as that anymore as there is no need
