[[Megan]] is clearly excited as she screams "Woooo!", but [[Cueball]], in true nerd fashion, thinks in base 2, saying that there are just 24 to go until a "big round-number milestone". The joke is that during programming, base two is used more often than base 10, making milestones powers of two rather than powers of 10. Where 1000 is a round number in base 10 (10<sup>3</sup>), 1024 is a round number in base 2 (2<sup>10</sup> or 10000000000<sub>2</sub>). The 1024 joke could also come from the fact that there are 1024 mebibytes in a gibibyte. |
In the 1000 comic [[Randall]] included [[404: Not Found]], see why in the explanation for this comic. This comic strengthens the fact that Randall did indeed count 404 as a "real" comic. | In the 1000 comic [[Randall]] included [[404: Not Found]], see why in the explanation for this comic.
