Lower-level protocols, the backbone of the internet, use binary data to maintain performance. Application-level protocols (HTTP and above) use text data for ease of interoperability. You don't have religious wars about endian issues with HTTP. [...] [...] Binary data is more efficient than text, but more difficult to debug and generate (how many hex editors do you know to use?).

Yep, I'm planning on covering number systems and why things turn out the way they do (from my point of view). I'm starting to view numbers a "software simulation" that tries to model the world, but has bugs / breaks down in certain circumstances (division by zero). Of course, the bugs are with our model -- we have to come up with new and better ways to represent what's going on in the world. Thanks Mr. Rose, glad you liked it :) .
