As it does in Romanian!

I know this comment is not very useful (unless you're taking up Romanian), but it's a "nice hack" ;)

Evil bit

[countach]

But does the hack interfere with the Evil Bit(tm)?

And when the system becomes mainstream, and the spammers start sending you messages, will they set the Evil Bit?

IPv6?

Hah, typical slashdot, this is a dupe. There was already a story on Science Fiction today.

Honesty is the best policy

[caluml]

The initial idea was to make something very stupid using IPv6

Well, at least he's upfront about it :)

The following code acts as a method of circumvention and is therefore illegal:

#include <stdio.h>

static char msg[] = "01011001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01100011 01100001 01101110 00100000 01110100 01100001 01101011 01100101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 01110010 00100000 01000100 01001101 01000011 01000001 00100000 01100001 01101110 01100100 00100000 01110011 01101000 01101111 01110110 01100101 00100000 01101001 01110100 00101110 00100000 01001000 01100101 01111000 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01100110 01101111 01110010 00100000 01101100 01100001 01101101 01100101 01110010 01110011 00101110 00100000 01000010 01101001 01101110 01100001 01110010 01111001 00100000 00110000 01110111 01101110 01110011 00100000 01101010 00110000 00110000 00101110";

int main()
{
char *p;
unsigned char c = 0;
int x = 0;

for(p = msg; *p; p++) {
if(*p != '0' && *p != '1')
continue;

c <<= 1;
if(*p == '1')
c |= 1;

if(!(++x & 7))
printf("%c", c);
}

return 0;
}

Big Deal

Wake me up when someone figures out how to send porn over IPv6 headers.
