Definitions of Binary:

A numbering system with only two values: 0 (zero) and 1 (one).
www.orafaq.com/glossary/faqglosb.htm
Information consisting entirely of ones and zeros. Also, commonly used to refer to files that are not simply text files, eg images.
www.unitedyellowpages.com/internet/terminology.html
Mathematical base 2, or numbers composed of a series of zeros and ones. Since zero's and one's can be easily represented by two voltage levels on an electronic device, the binary number system is widely used in digital computing.

Refers to the ‘language’ computers speak. Binary code (or machine language) consists only of zeroes and ones (ie a choice is either on or off), called bits. Letters and other information have a specific binary representation, made up of up to 8 bits (one byte).
www.angelfire.com/bc/nursinginformatics/glossary.html
A numbering system using the digits "0" and "1" in the decimal system. All computer programs are executed in binary form.

A numeric system that represents all numbers using only two digits: 1 and 0.
www.7designavenue.com/glossary.htm
Refers to the base-two number system. The system contains only two numbers, 0 and 1. In computer-like circuits, the presence of a voltage, current or other such signal indicates a "1" whereas the absence of the same signal indicates "0".

Pertaining to a number system that has just two unique digits. Computers use the digits 0 and 1. Unique combinations of 0 and 1 represent characters.

Specifies a fixed-length bit string. The binary terminal descriptor type is defined by the user at ODM creation time. The binary terminal descriptor type cannot be used in selection criteria.
publibn.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/aixprggd/genprogc/odm.htm
A file which is in machine executable, compiled form: hex data (as opposed to a source code file).

A number system using just two digits.

Numbering system based on two digits: 0 and 1.
www.crucial.com/library/glossary.asp
A base-2 number system. All numbers are represented as a sequence of zeros and ones.
members.tripod.com/~rvbelzen/c128sg/glossary.htm
A numbering system using a base number of 2 and having only two digits: 0 and 1. The fundamental system of representing information with electrical pulses.

Binary data is a direct representation of the bits stored in RAM on a computer. Much more compact and accurate than ASCII.
www.devel.legend.co.uk/resources/gloss.html
A system for encoded digital information using two components: 0 and 1.
www.dvspot.com/features/glossary.shtml
A number system where only two values or states are possible for a particular condition, such as ON and OFF or One and Zero.
www.marconi.com/Home/Glossary%20&%20Acronyms/Glossary/glossaryb.htm
A system of counting that is base-2. ( The decimal system that we use is base-10.) Unlike the decimal system which uses digits having possible values between 0 and 9, the binary system has digits ( bits ) that can only have the values 0 and 1.
www.expeditevcs.com/terms.htm
A numbering system with only two digits; 0 and 1, where 0=off and 1=on.
www.sivideo.com/9pcterms.htm
Base one information with each datum, a bit, having either one of two values - one or zero. Modern computers are digital and represent all information internally in a binary format. There is absolutely no ambiguity in a binary representation of information - either the bit is true or it is false.

the number system (base 2) used as the basis of most computer systems
www.archivemag.co.uk/gloss/B.html
A system of counting using only two digits, "0" and "1" (base 2). Computers speak in binary at their most basic level; anything else is translated into binary, so the computer can understand it.
apple2history.org/history/glossary.html
Two. Refers to having two primary subcomponents. All motion between quanta, for example, is binary. Because motion between quantum particles is relative then if arbitrary vectors are always assigned in the same way between quanta then the motion between two quanta will always have two antiparallel (see above) vectors and hence be binary. ...

Data represented in binary format uses only two digits - 0 and 1.
www.hosttrail.com/glossary/b/
Binary is a two-digit (Base-2) numerical system, which computers use to store data and compute functions. The reason computers use the binary system is because digital switches inside the computer can only be set to either on or off, which are represented by a 1 or 0. Though the binary system consists of only ones and zeros, the two digits can be used to represent any number. For example: A single 0 in binary represents zero. A single 1 represents (2^0) or 1. 10 represents (2^1) or 2. ...

of or pertaining to a number system have 2 as its base; "a binary digit"
binary star: a system of two stars that revolve around each other under their mutual gravitation
consisting of two (units or components or elements or terms) or based on two; "a binary star is a system in which two stars revolve around each other"; "a binary compound"; "the binary number system has two as its base"

Binary is a techno-thriller novel written by Michael Crichton in 1972.The villain is a political extremist, who arranges for the theft of an army shipment of the two precursor chemicals that form a deadly nerve agent.

Computer files can be divided into two broad categories: binary and text. Text files are files which contain ordinary textual characters with essentially no formatting; binary files are all other files.The distinction is not universal because any file is fundamentally a sequence of bits, and many computer components (for example, all hard disk circuitry and most system software) make no distinction between file types. ...

Binary Chemical Weapons are chemical weapons wherein the toxic agent is not contained within the weapon in its active state, but in the form of two chemical precursors, physically separated within the weapon. The precursors are designed to be significantly less toxic than the agent they make when mixed, and this allows the weapon to be transported and stored more safely than otherwise. ...
