    Give it am MD5 hash and a file length and it will compute all the possible files that could have produced the hash. Automatically filter our the invalid files and the set you're left with can't be that large.

    You could have $1,000,000 worth of batteries. But you've got to charge them up before you can use them. The guy should run the genny for a few days to get the darn things charged.

    I sympathise with your condition but TASTE wtf are you on about?
    You're going to murder creatures based on taste alone.

    Chickpeas are 9% protein compared to 20% for daily meats.

    I'm no doctor so this is probably spurious, I just gleaned it from reading about hypoglycæmia.
    If you use protein as a glucosidase inhibitor you cold just up your carbs and drop the meat.
    You might find it's the meat that kills ya in the end!
