The 14 in the description should be perceived as 1110.

I choose to perceive it as 016.

Because octal is just so useful...

Your negative characterization of octal notation saddens me. :< Octal is useful for things like Unix file masks and literal representations of memory addresses on architectures with 18 or 24-bit memory busses, such as IBM System/360. You see it all over the place in the Unix V6 source code.

I'm bringing my 286 lappy with my web 1.0 stickers on it. Gonna play the erotic version of Zork that no one's heard about ('cos i am hardcore like that).

I have mixed feelings about octal file modes, but that's pretty much the only modern use of octal!
