I could not help but admire nanog in its full form ;) and I cannot resist anymore. Allow me to suggest the EPR paradox machine. The cost of regenerating unpredictable information is inefficient by orders of magnitude, but wait... isn't it what we are trying to solve?

"Start at position xyz, carry on for 10000 bits" shouldn't be as long as telling it all 10000 bits? Currently we have a compression algorithm for doing this already in widespread use. We create a list of numbers ranging from 1 to 255 and then provide an index into that array. We save space by assuming it's a single character. ____________________________________________ Sudeep Khuraijam | Netops | liveops | Office 408 8442511 | Mobile 408 666 9987 skhuraijam () liveops com<mailto:skhuraijam () liveops com> | aim: skhuraijam
