    what your data set is. For example if one wishes to compress an album of suppose, N'Stink, or Backdoor Boys, it isn't truly random data, and a close observation of the data provided, will show almost an exact duplicate (allowing for differences in the spelling of the bands' names) and therefore compression rates can well be into the realm of 100:1.

    Hate to busrt your bubble, but the Israelites contributed much to the arab culture, in all fields from mathematics, to medical, to astronomy, and finance/banking.
    Have you ever heard of Miamonides?- AKA the RAMBAN, which is an acronym of his full hebrew name Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon. Wrote most of his work in arabic, and was later translated to almost every language of the rennesiance world.
    Heard of an Astrolobe? The first tool invented to calculate positions of the celestial bodies. It helped many a captain sail the seas.
    How about the fact that the merchant jews became the financiers of the arab world, because of arab prohibitions on banking.
    This and many more made the arab culture ripe for the rape by the men living in the scientific age of France, who BTW learned arabic in order to read all the knowledge culminated by the arab scholars (jews and muslims included.)

    "It's called Gimetry, about 4000 years ago it was true that israelites used letters to represent number (the equilevent of A = 1, the equilevent of Z was 400)"

    Its actually called "GE-MAT-RIA" which is an incredible system which has thousands of pages written by hundreds of Torah scholars.
    You might have just had a small glimpse of it if you had watched a movie named "Pi".
    NTB, but I can assure you, as being a learned student of both the written law (Torah) and the oral law (Talmud) and their respective commenteries that this system serves a major purpose in understanding of the modern day Jewish law.

  14. TRY VERIZON! on AT&T Caps Bandwidth On Former @Home Users · · Score: 0

    Well your friend (in psychology class we learned that usually a "friend" is but a sham, and a method of shifting guilt from ones' self) should get himself a Verizon DSL connection. Got one myself two years ago. And haven't payed for it already a year.

    The story is like this.
    I ordered Verizon DSL with a credit card which would expire while I was on summer vaction. Since I would be away, I wouldn't have need for the service. So I just ignored the "credit card" expiring notice from Verizon, and in the summer my account was deactivated. I was hoping on switching to Mindspring DSL because Verizon hiked up the prices to match Mindsprings', so I figured for the same 50 dollars I would rather have Mindsprings 1.5mb compared to Verizons' 768kb.

    I signed up for Mindspring, and two weeks later I recieved a notice via snailmail that my line doesn't support DSL, and that they would notify me if DSL would become available in my local area.

    After waiting one hour with Mindspring (terrible phone support!) just to ask an operator to route my call, I spoke with a tech (some underpaid pimple-faced kid on a summerjob) who told me that DSL wasn't available in my area, I told him two things. One; that I had Verizon from the same CO that they use on my line, and Two; that my next-door neighbor has Mindspring DSL.

    So it turns out, that Verizon deactivated my account, but they still had their equipment attached to my line. In order for Mindspring to attach their equipment, I would have to request Verizon to disengage theirs. Of course I called Verizon immediately, and requested this, and they told me that it should be done within two weeks. But it never happened.

    So what I did is ask a buddy for his login combo for Verizon (which amazingly allows multiple simultaneous logins, as long as you don't use more than one IP for phone line.) So basically I've been using Verizons service since that time without paying a cent, and without detriment to my buddy's account.

    Listen, I asked nicely to be disconnected so that I could connect through Mindspring, and obviously I am willing to pay the 50 dollar service fee, but as long as Verizon holds reign on my line, I will leech their service!

    Why don't they just go out there and patent the "right to own patents, and sue on the basis of their misuse by third-parties".
