So, wouldn't the checksum server be essentially redistributing the binary? It's not literally
distributing it, but it's probably close enough to spend a long time dragging through the legal process.
If you query a dictionary in the correct order, you might get a novel from Stephen King.
So, does Webster infringe the copyright of Stephen King?
What about the following idea, which would triple the space needed for the original aim.exe:
Assumption: we need a 128 bit or 8 byte checksum.
The checksum file is a combination of absolut checksums 8 byte width for each 8byte block of aim.exe followed by 8 2byte checksums relative to the last absolut block. That would look like this:
Original (I don't have aim.exe handy, therefore this is fake data):
A checksum for a given address in aim.exe can now easily be calculated:
checksum(addr)= data[3*(addr&~7)] + data[3*(addr&~7)+2+2*(addr&7)]
To determine the checksum for a block from addr1 to addr2, just do a checksum(addr2)-checksum(adr1-1), et voila, here we are.
please note: this shouldn't be a copyright infringement since the used data doesn't contain aim.exe, but information about aim.exe.
> That's an intersting perception -waht sort of application are you thinking of?
Now that's easy to answer. I'm SE in semiconductor test biz, so let's take an example thereof. A hypothetical chip tester hase 1k channels, most of them connected to pins of a/multiple chips. The user wants to select one of the connected pins, ergo...
Sometimes those pins are grouped, e.g. data bus, address bus aso. But to group them, you need to select them first and to put them in a group then.
Ever thought about, that this might be related to SUSE's road map for a new distribution?
If SUSE doesn't intend to pack a new distribution for the next 2 or 3 month, that would mean, that any other distribution that includes the Czech translations has a serious advantage over the current SUSE 7.0.
It would be plain stupid to help the competition in beating you.

Actually, the Vatican is no democracy, try again.

this is a 8byte value: data[3*(addr&~7)]
and this is a 2byte value: data[3*(addr&~7)+2+2*(addr&7)]
calculating the sum, this has to be taken into account.

No, you can watch the pages from both sides. Up to now, I just see the monitor back and cables if I try this. But that's going to change soon.

Selling stock you don't own and buying back once the quote dropped. Can be a real pain if the quote doesn't drop.
