This is from the list of resistor color code stripes used to determine
resistance in ohms visually. The Gold / Silver are for tolerance bands - I
think a Gold stripe means +/-1%, a Silver stripe means +/-5% and No stripe
means the resistor is supposed to be good to +/-10% of stated value.
If you throw the "N" on the end of the letter string (for "No tolerance
stripe") the following mnemonic is useful for remembering the whole deal:

Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls Behind Victory Garden Walls. Get Some Now.

Geeks. What can I tell you?
