All powers of 2.
Me too. (same day, different year)
Thanks, jonathan. Quite a coincidence.
My dad pointed that out to me many times, writing it '02-04-08'. I was going to entitle this post "The Power of Two" with its multiple meanings, but for some reason I chose this. I should have listened to my inner voice.
