Bob Bermer the inventor of ASCII passed away today.

This reminds me of one of the all time best signs I've ever seen.

    Dude, that should be in hex if you want anyone to be able to read it. :-)

    Fixed just for the folks you prefer hex. I'm not going to bother with octal or binary, so don't even ask ;-)

    I think you meant 0x52 0x49 0x50 0x42 0x6F 0x62, not 0x52 0x49 0x50 0x42 0x7F 0x62. And probably 0x52 0x49 0x50 0x20 0x42 0x6F 0x62 for readability. Damn, I'm geek. :-p

    I dunno, I think "geek" as an adjective could catch on in a big, chic way.
