And clearly I meant to reply to the person who said Apple just changed the number system to make it work. Not you.
Suuuure you did when you can't even figure out how to use the quote and reply properly without using two posts, or figure out how to edit a post to correct your mistake. You're really on (decimal) point¡ :no:
I am talking about software versions, idiot. Not ip. Apple version builds are decimal system not ip addresses. You're the fool that is talking abou IP address. 10.1 is the same as 10.10
You're wasting your time- he's mathematically challenged. Years ago he thought a decade had 11 years! LOL
Well If Apple is calling it 10.10 they need to go back to school. If these tech journalists are the ones calling it 10.10, 10.1, 10.100000, it doesn't matter how many zeros are behind it, is still 10.1 Puma

Not this tired crap again. Seems like you're the one who doesn't really understand software versioning. It's not a decimal point, it's a separator. It's not a single number (10.1 with a superfluous zero), it's two numbers (10 and 10). There's section in the following article that specifically talks about Apple's version numbering...
If they did in fact use the decimal system, how in the hell do you explain 10.9.3 that was just released. Or iTunes 11.0.2? Or Safari 7.0.4? Or even better, explain OS X 10.4.10? Which was a released version of Tiger, in fact, it went up to 10.4.11. Those are in no way, shape, or form a decimal number. They are just a series of numbers separated by a period - just as the other person was trying to explain how IP address numbers are separated by a period. (Although IP addresses are actually a single 32-bit number. The periods are used to separate the bytes for easier reading, masking, issuing, etc.)
In fact, the numbers are stored as three different integers, not as a single floating point value...
gestaltSystemVersionMajor
The major operating system version number. For example, in 10.4.12 this would be the decimal value 10.
Available in OS X v10.3 and later.
Declared in Gestalt.h.
gestaltSystemVersionMinor
The minor operating system version number. For example, in 10.4.12 this would be the decimal value 4.
Available in OS X v10.3 and later.
Declared in Gestalt.h.
gestaltSystemVersionBugFix
The bug fix version number. For example, in 10.4.12 this would be the decimal value 12.
Well If Apple is calling it 10.10 they need to go back to school. If these tech journalists are the ones calling it 10.10, 10.1, 10.100000, it doesn't matter how many zeros are behind it, is still 10.1 Puma
As an example:-
Current OSX 10.9.3 = System 10, Version 9, Release 3.
At the Code Conference tonight Microsoft demoed Skype with real time translation. Said it's going to be released later this year. Would love to see something like that with Siri. This is the kind of stuff I want to see Apple do. Not go after overpriced headphones because someone in marketing told them they're not cool with teenagers anymore.
EDIT: here's what Skype's real time translation looks like:
As an example:- Current OSX 10.9.3 = System 10, Version 9, Release 3.
Digitally, to the computer, version = 13D65
Not hard to understand is it?
I think you are the one who is confused. I don't need an explanation. I simply was saying that numerically 10.10 is no different from 10.1. Journalists keep referring it as 10.10 (not Apple). Why is THAT so hard to understand?

So if I have major version 10 followed by minor version 10 followed by bug update 10 you think that means the latter two whole numbers get their trailing zero dropped even though they are whole numbers, like in an IP address? Aren't you brilliant¡
Yes, 10.10 is no different from 10.1 when the POINT ONE refers to a fractional value of the same number, not a separator, like with an IP address. You can call it 10-10-10 and it means the same 10.10.10 despite what you and [@]pazuzu[/@] want to believe.
PS: We're on 10.9.3 right now. What number system has TWO (or more) decimal points? And what number system has you removing all trailing zeros from before the "decimal" point?
Current OSX 10.9.3 = System 10, Version 9, Release 3.

That number is actually the OS X build number, which is used for development. The '13' is the version of Darwin the OS is based off of. The 'D' signifies the release trunk (D would be the forth release) and the '65' is the number of full builds for this trunk.

Well this is where you are confused... 10.10 is not a number to be interpreted numerically. It's actually two completely separate numbers that represent two different values.
As far as I can tell you are the idiot that has his panties in a bunch over a software version number. Did you number it 10.10? Do you not understand how decimals work? You see, the number behind it is a smaller number the bigger number is towards the left. 10.9 is now 11 should be next. That is how decimals work. Now you can stop being a douche because I commented on how journalists are referring as 10.10. It was not a comment on how it was wrong it CAN be read as Puma 10.1. That is all I was saying. Now get a life.

I didn't think I would I agree with you but I do. I really, really do.
Good point!

You are still a douche though
Good point!

Good for them. Guess who else used this nomenclature? Twice.
EDIT: That’d also make a good tagline.
