Binary to Decimal Conversion

[Mike Bonner]

If you want to do it manually, then yeah, thats the way.  (positional
notation) If converting a binary number with a partial value, you have to
work with 1/2 positions too.

Theres also the doubling method (which I just came across).
http://www.wikihow.com/Convert-from-Binary-to-Decimal  Both methods listed
on that site.
