[OT] mythical compression scheme - was Re: [ILUG] A sysadmin dream come true !

[Gary McCloskey]

Much discussion on this all over the web. Unless the guy has developed a 
portable quantum wormhole, it's all guff. See the compression FAQ as to why.

Interestingly, there was a similar scheme with similar promises a few years 
ago -

As for the press release it's interesting to note that it promises the 
compression for "almost random" data. Obviously this suggests it's for a 
defined value of like almost random. Such as an infinite string of 1s? :)
