As simple as using your name as your password.Any ideas, is it really simple?
I was wondering what the significance was of the binary number 11001001 on the episode "11001001". Any CS major will tell you that this number equals 201 in ordinary decimal.
In the story, Picard and William are frantically trying to guess the
filename to restore the binar's main computer and Picard points at the unconscious Binars and says "Would they have kept it *that* simple?"
Well I was expecting him to guess "four" as in the number of binars
laying on the floor (00000100 in an eight digit binary or byte) but then
they come up with 201? what the hell?
Any ideas, is it really simple?

Each binar had a "name" which was a two-digit binary number. The string "11001001" was simply the names of the four binars, in the order in which they were lying on the deck.

Watching this episode and looked up the binary for the title, stumbled upon this.purported brainiacs, 'benign' group lure those of the ugly ilk. For a woman, to be described in one , frankly, ill conceived generality; even the word "nerd" has many an individual.
Disappointed with the sexist remark. Not a CS major, nor a Women's Studies major. Just a feminist- don't be afraid- I don't hate men, just desire equality for all- I was a poli sci major. Disappointed to see that even the most seemingly , self-
So I guess I'm S.O.L. (Not to be mistaken with T.S.O.L.) here. Back to nerd vision.

Any CS major will tell you that this number equals 201 in ordinary decimal.I just found this thread after rewatching the episode and thinking that number looks familiar somehow. I like many of the responses and all and especially the one about the order in which the Binars are laying is the password put in the computer. I
