Now you've done it... I'll be struggling with
what this means for days. Just promise me it
isn't random gibberish!!! Looks like it might
be machine code. Certainly hex. I hope it
turns out to be simple Ascii, so I can do
other things! And written with an "old
fashioned" typewriter! All my ribbons
have dried up.
Rob Roy: The numbers are supposedly some sort
of secret code that the AACS is harassing the
net for exposing. Apparently you can somehow
use these numbers to copy a movie if you have
a tremendous amount of time and expertise. In
light of the turmoil they have generated over
a 16 digit number most people would have no
idea what to do with, I thought I would
emphasize the obscurity of the whole thing
with this photo.
I saw a similar photo in Explore. Now I know
it's the "secret code" for the HD
DVDs. Someone has even recorded a song about
it. Anyway, the shot is good.
