hacker2: did you see the HOLES in that thing?
hacker1: yup (laughs). let's go home and r00t them
it doesn't have to be the same character consecutively. or look at it another way, if you convert ABC to ascii binary and look at the repeated bits. but still, i agree that it's not much help, seeing as 1:100 lossless compression is a pipedream, a fraud, a downright LIE and will never happen.
that's only testing the distribution of the numbers. in an entirely random set you would *expect* for all numbers to occur an equal number of times. the fact that they don't doesn't mean that the data is random.
rolling 6,6,6,6,6,6 on a dice is no more non-random than 1,6,3,4,2,5. unless you're kamal khan.
even lossless compression still relies on redundancy within the data, normally repeating patterns of data. surely 100-1 on TRUE random data is impossible?
not a bad idea actually. i assume you mean that i'd pay $x for a copy protected album and $x + 3 cents for the non-protected version. i wouldn't have a problem with that.

D'OH!!!!!
if you dont want to register then replace 'www.' with 'college.' in the url
so this is different from using putty on win95 in which way?
and their last agreement meant that they did not have to admit guilt.
1. bleem existed
2. there was a demo of bleem for free download
3. bleem actually worked. ocaisionally.
agreed. once you start using server-side shit the preview is fucked up, and it LOVES to mangle your tables for you.
lindows guy: please don't change that. bill gates: fuck off.

ooh. my development skills are being knocked by the ./ crew. ouch.
inability to spell or genuine typo? only YOU can decide.
Oh, sorry. It's not spam, it's a fucking TROJAN HORSE.
only becuase it makes sql server look good.
stop modding me up and save some points for the other people
strangely enough, that's what i was thinking of when i posted that ;)
click 'next'? ouch. can anybody else tell that i've been doing office upgrades all day?

mod this shit up! he's turned my gut reaction into real words!
that's wrong. the 101st unique pigeon is the only one without a marker.
well thank fuck for that. i thought i was going mad, but no, they really don't mention which program is causing all the trouble.

and why the fuck does slashcode care that it only took me 6 seconds to type that and click next? was i too slow?
of course you couldn't prove that any of the data used actually IS random ;)
even lossless compression still relies on redundancy within the data, normally repeating patterns of data. surely 100-1 on TRUE random data is impossible?
arguable, but it probably is. not surprising considering the ages of the consoles involved.
