132 is profane?

How on Earth does the number 132 count as profanity? 
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

Can this still be real or just some crazy dream
But I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerise me ... can't avoid their eyes
132 the number of the beast
132 the one for you and me
900k is filtered due to this...
IIRC someone explained 132 as being due to it's representation in Binary: 00100 00100
yeah..... 99.99% of the people in the game don't know that. although that probably changed to 99.98% just from me posting the explanation...

They need to have someone go through and remove a lot of the stuff that is currently filtered. It seems like they just fed in some sort of database that covers everything.
In my opinion they should use the forum profanity filter database. Anything we can write here on the forum including damn, 132, etc. should be allowed.

Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

Er ... get me on track ... what its the potential prob with 00100 00100 ? And - is it lsb or msb?
I was just listening to that song yesterday LOL.
Holy 132!!!! What a coincidence. :P

The 1 is a middle finger. Yeah, it's pretty frickin' cryptic... :rolleyes:

Gosh ... I c. More than cryptic, well. It wont work for the sawmill guy.

Still, I can think of worse things to work around then the number combination 132.

Maybe you could use reverse 1337 speak to get 132 by the filter as 1E2.

Yeah, but then the props wouldn't be in order. I've got them labeled 001, 002, 003, etc. 1E2 would TRIBBLE it up. :P

binary is 8/16/32/64 bit, not 10.
10000100 = 132
128 + 4
Yes, that's correct but by adding additional 0s at the front you can make what was an 8-digit binary number into a 10-digit binary number without affecting the value.
00100 00100
0 * 512 + 0 * 256 + 1 * 128 + 0 * 64 + 0 * 32 + 0 * 16 + 0 * 8 + 1 * 4 + 0 * 2 + 0 * 1 = 128 + 4 = 132
IMHO they need to remove the profanity filter (or put in a basic one that blocks the actually offensive words) and put in a forced auto-correct grammar and spelling system in its place!
Not really. Everything in a computer is still in binary: text (modern) is 2 bytes of binary per char for unicode stored in long running chunks (some thousands of bits long). Basic floating point is still 80 bit binary blobs (has not changed in a long time). Large integer classes use "characters" (modern text mentioned above) to represent large values, for example encryption keys that are 256 or 512 or whatever bits long. The same is done for extreme precision floating point (compute PI to 100 billion digits type stuff). But at the end of the day, binary is just a numerical base, just like base 10. You can use as many digits as you want. Sure, the internal CPU registers are limited; most are 32 or 64 these days and have leading zeros because you can't have a no-bit value in our hardware representation of binary (remember all this is used because deep inside, a circuit either has power (1) or not (0) ) but that is just a human representation of the abstract, an artificial limitation that is convenient given the way we build computers today.
It will let you use 'tain' and 'aint' but not 'taint'. That was the strangest one I came across.

Dammit Jim, my lines are censored!
I hate profanity filters, like it makes a blind bit of difference to the development of some 5 year old whether they come across some bad language in an online game when half the world is cursing every other ****ing second.
