If you don't like my signature line, don't read it. It is not there for YOU or anyone else. It is there for me. I type it in each time I post, and I do so because I need to remind myself. It is because of MY flaws as an individual that I force myself to write that line, and therefore to remind myself that I need to work, everyday, to be courageous and moral (and not in a religious way, I am an atheist). It is also to remind me of Gandhi, who proved that the greatest weapon in the world is peace. He beat the largest empire in the world, and did it without killing. He won his war with a clean conscience, and he kept his soul.
Flame me all you want, I do not care. But don't go near Gandhi, he is far too much for you.

It doesn't have to be binary. It just have to be in discreet steps, as opposed to continous.

I'm sorry guys, but ecs113 provided the correct answer to the question already in the first answer. You may want help with understanding the answer, but the answer *is* the correct answer.

in the world of professional PCM audio there is only one mode of storage and that is binary. ones and zeros, on or off. i'm speaking of actual current pratice in the field and not theory.

It was the correct answer and 'nubs did a good job elucidating it. You folks still think he's a troll?
Anyhow, 'nubs, could you explain "domains" a bit more? First time I've heard this term and how it may be similar to digital quantization. What's interesting is the implication that analogue cannot possible be more 'real' than digital--what an overused subjective term.
I just purchased an Otari MTR12 and I'd like to contest the earlier claim that cheap digital is better than cheap analogue. Depends on what kinda cheap, portastudio-cheap or old pro gear cheap. I know this thread wasn't specifically about tape, but, jeez, what a pain in the ass it is! I like the way it smells tho.
Oh, does anyone know what the deal is with the digital format (Sony??) that doesn't use pulse code modulation?

I am not flaming here, I promise, but ENIAC was not the first computer, contrary to popular belief. Bletchley Park, the English decryption facility during World War II, made a top secret computer, called Colossus, during the war, which was kept top secret until the 1970s. It was the first true programmable computer, and was used to decrypt the German code, Lorenz. Lorenz was the most complex of the German codes, and was used for the most sensitive communication of the German high command, and Bletchley Park had it cracked in 1943.

And as far as I know, both Eniac and Colossus were digital. Eniac however, was decimal, and not binary.
Small side note: Colossus was used to break the Geihemschreiber and Enigma codes. Some swedish math genius actually succeded in breaking the Geihemschreiber code a couple of years before Colossus. He did it using pen and paper.

Colossus was not used to break Enigma, which they had broken several years before they made Colossus.
If you really want to know more than you ever wanted to know about ciphers, check this out:

Very detailed, and very technical. I have not been able to get through hardly any of it.

By the way, if you want to read an interesting book, Cryptonomicon, by Neal Stephenson is cool. It has a lot of historically factual information about Bletchley Park, mixed in with other aspects of the story.
