I hate non-standard length binary numbers! Just write 01100100 for God's sake...

On topic, Shannon is my favorite scientist of the last century, after von Neumann of course. If his only contribution was connecting Boolean algebra to digital logic, he would have been a pioneer. But no, he goes ahead and defines information theory out of nowhere, even though the majority of applications that can utilize it were not yet practical! I mean, come on Claude!
