So I started to wonder why 536870912 at the beginning. Seems a bit of on odd first ID number. I wonder if it was because that is 512 megabits? Because it is 64 megabytes? There must be some kind of meaning.
Engineer 1: Hey, we need a really large number for the first field ID in the customer range Engineer 2: What is 64 megabytes in bits? Engineer 1: 536870912 Engineer 1+2: Yeah, let's use that note: this is a reenactment of how it may have happened. It is possible Engineer 1 and 2 was the same person :) [image: Inline image 1] http://www.matisse.net/bitcalc/?input_amount=536%2C870%2C912+&input_units=bits¬ation=legacy On Fri, Sep 6, 2013 at 8:16 AM, Longwing, Lj <llongw...@usgs.gov> wrote: > ** > I would hafta say that because that the 'current' first field ID :) > > > On Fri, Sep 6, 2013 at 9:06 AM, John J Reiser <john.j.rei...@lmco.com>wrote: > >> Might be showing my (Remedy) age hear but why 536870913 instead of >> 536870912.
