That makes me approximately 20.8. :-)

The Factorial Basis
Instead of expanding in powers of some integer, we expand in factorials, thus N = Ak*k! + Ak-1*(k-1)! + ... + A1*1! with Am <= m. So for example 100 = 4*4! + 0*3! + 2*2! + 0*1! = 4020f The last number before a rollover of digits is [n][n-1][n-2]...[1]f and represents (n+1)!-1. In this basis you are 24 + 6 + 2 = 1*4! + 1*3! + 1*2! + 0*1! = 1110f. Here are all the primes up to 719 = 6! - 1 = 54321f \n0 0 0 1 0\n0 0 0 1 1\n0 0 0 2 1\n0 0 1 0 1\n0 0 1 2 1\n0 0 2 0 1\n0 0 2 2 1\n0 0 3 0 1\n0 0 3 2 1\n0 1 0 2 1\n0 1 1 0 1\n0 1 2 0 1\n0 1 2 2 1\n0 1 3 0 1\n0 1 3 2 1\n0 2 0 2 1\n0 2 1 2 1\n0 2 2 0 1\n0 2 3 0 1\n0 2 3 2 1\n0 3 0 0 1\n0 3 1 0 1\n0 3 1 2 1\n0 3 2 2 1\n0 4 0 0 1\n0 4 0 2 1\n0 4 1 0 1\n0 4 1 2 1\n0 4 2 0 1\n0 4 2 2 1\n1 0 1 0 1\n1 0 1 2 1\n1 0 2 2 1\n1 0 3 0 1\n1 1 0 2 1\n1 1 1 0 1\n1 1 2 0 1\n1 1 3 0 1\n1 1 3 2 1\n1 2 0 2 1\n1 2 1 2 1\n1 2 2 0 1\n1 2 3 2 1\n1 3 0 0 1\n1 3 0 2 1\n1 3 1 0 1\n1 3 3 0 1\n1 4 1 0 1\n1 4 1 2 1\n1 4 2 0 1\n1 4 2 2 1\n1 4 3 2 1\n2 0 0 0 1\n2 0 1 2 1\n2 0 2 2 1\n2 0 3 2 1\n2 1 0 2 1\n2 1 1 0 1\n2 1 2 0 1\n2 1 2 2 1\n2 1 3 0 1\n2 2 0 2 1\n2 2 3 0 1\n2 2 3 2 1\n2 3 0 0 1\n2 3 0 2 1\n2 3 3 0 1\n2 4 0 0 1\n2 4 1 2 1\n2 4 2 0 1\n2 4 2 2 1\n2 4 3 2 1\n3 0 1 0 1\n3 0 2 0 1\n3 0 3 0 1\n3 0 3 2 1\n3 1 0 2 1\n3 1 2 0 1\n3 1 2 2 1\n3 2 0 0 1\n3 2 1 2 1\n3 2 2 0 1\n3 2 3 2 1\n3 3 0 0 1\n3 3 1 0 1\n3 3 1 2 1\n3 3 2 2 1\n3 4 0 0 1\n3 4 0 2 1\n3 4 1 0 1\n3 4 1 2 1\n3 4 3 2 1\n4 0 1 0 1\n4 0 1 2 1\n4 0 3 0 1\n4 0 3 2 1\n4 1 0 2 1\n4 1 2 2 1\n4 1 3 0 1\n4 2 2 0 1\n4 2 3 0 1\n4 3 0 2 1\n4 3 1 2 1\n4 3 2 2 1\n4 3 3 0 1\n4 4 0 0 1\n4 4 1 2 1\n4 4 2 2 1\n4 4 3 2 1\n5 0 0 0 1\n5 0 1 0 1\n5 0 2 0 1\n5 0 2 2 1\n5 0 3 0 1\n5 1 1 0 1\n5 1 2 2 1\n5 1 3 0 1\n5 1 3 2 1\n5 2 0 2 1\n5 2 1 2 1\n5 2 2 0 1\n5 3 0 0 1\n5 3 0 2 1\n5 3 1 2 1\n5 3 3 0 1\n5 4 0 2 1\n5 4 2 0 1\n5 4 3 2 1\n I suspect this basis could be useful in studying primes. -drl

Sorry, dude, but unless you can cook up eternal youth out of that lot, you're going to have a tough sell on your hands.

0x2C, huh?
You're younger than I thought.
What is it? It seems everyone over 0x30 gets out of programming and into sales.

It's called survival of the fittest.
You can offshore programming easily, but somebody's still got to sit face to face with the customer and convince her she needs the product those offshore programmers are producing.
Another thing, once they're much over 0x30, most people realize an hour spent programming is an hour lost from real life, and real life is already way too short. Programming is for the young 'uns who still think they're immortal.
Of course, many programmers chose that career precisely to avoid human interaction - a two pronged disadvantage. First, they haven't had to developed the interpersonal skills to do much else, and second, real life consists mostly of human interaction.
In small business, where I am, sales and other interpersonal interaction is 80%+ of the product. The rest you can buy somewhere.

Conversion error
isn't 074 = 0x3C instead of 0x2C?
When they took the Fourth Amendment, I was quiet because I didn't deal drugs.
When they took the Fifth Amendment, I was quiet because I was innocent.
When they took the Second Amendment, I was quiet because I didn't own a gun.
Now they've taken the First Amendment, and I can't say anything about it.

Now that adds 16 years 0x10 and that's about where I put him.

Happy Birthday...
...to my wife also.
The party is a combo...birth of my wife and our nation kind of thing...thats how it turned into tradition so easily...
That and the fact that I had the most awesome 4th of July view for my first 2 years in Philly...15th floor balcony over the school where the fireworks display for th etown was done...with a view of both major Philly shows and about 15 other NJ townships. I miss that place every July.
