    You're a librarian because somebody who knew something about computers would have known that it's impossible to meaningfully compress streams of doubles which are the output of a monte carlo simulation

      That's not remotely true. I can probably express any arbitrary-length sequence you produce into a few hundred bytes.

        Oh, christ, did it feel that good when I raped you ass ? or has it just healed so you can take yet another round ?

        Honestly, it has been a bliss while you had me on ignore. but I assume that you have come to sense again,
        With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

          Sure, but noone would belive you

          PS. Well, that is probably a common reaction, so why do I bother to say it ?

            for an alleged computer expert you are remarkably ignorant of actual computer science...

                WTF. It seems that all of the critters crawl out of their hidings tonight - both KH and KW has decided to drop their ignorance of me at the same time - naw, that is actually cute - guess that Kuci can from now of be named some kind of cute doggy that barf in unison with KH

                Kuci, you have in so many ways displayed that you are a failure, so please shut up before you embarass yourself even more .

                  Funny then, that 2 physicists and two computer scientists all spent 4 pages laughing at you

                    Have you tried logarithms?

                      It does in computer science, and you've handily guaranteed a lower bound on the Kolmogorov complexity of the sequence

                          An encoding that takes as long to create/decompress as the original simulation took to run is hardly an improvement....
