Howdy!
How many other random constants do you remember because of being a programmer?
That limitation seems to have been ignored by many respondants. Oh well...
Hmmm...let's see:
- 512x512 - the size of a PLATO screen in pixels
- 60 bits per word, 10 characters per word - memory characteristics of a CDC Cyber
- 128 - the number of characters in a charset
- 10 - the number of armies you have to bomb to get a kill in empire
- 8x16 - the character cell on PLATO

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
