It's the British Perry Logan!

Watching that video was like watching someone play 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon. But instead of Kevin Bacon, it's 9/11.

I'm only 2 degrees away from Kevin Bacon. But I assure you, I had nothing to do with Footloose.

Every time I see these videos, I can't help but wonder how wasteful our civilization has become. I mean... video opinions... what a waste.

I can write about 2 words per second, on a good day, so that's probably a good 12 characters a second, which works out to like around 100 bits/second. I figure my opinion is worth about 100 bits/second.

People on youtube give their opinion at about 1Mbit/sec.

By basic mathematics, that means people on YouTube value their opinion at about 10,000x more then I value mine. Hmmm.

It appears you are assuming all bits are valued equally. Perhaps this is incorrect?

I've been told there are some interesting people in Austin, and he certainly fits the bill. His impression of Alex Jones is uncanny.

This is a good point, but sadly it makes the situation worse. Bits are equal when they contain maximum information (entropy). More simply, when they can not be compressed further. My estimate for 100Mbit/sec was using mpeg-2, a fairly good video compression system. My estimate for me, in text, was uncompressed. Therefore, my 100 bits/second are even less valuable then his 1Mbits/second.

I am such a loser:v:

Or to look at it another way, you are only using 100 bits/second to perform the same function that takes a truther 1Mbits/second - marvelously more efficient!

I would have assumed that bits that were set to 1 were infinitely more valuable than those that were set to 0. This was the basis for an innovative compression scheme that was published in the Journal of Irreproducible Results or the Annals of Improbable Research, I can't remember which.

The algorithm consisted in removing all the unvaluable 0s from the string to be compressed. You would count the remaining 1s and represent this as a binary number. The process is iterated until the initial string is reduced to one single "1". This is the encoding of the initial string which can now be stored or communicated very cheaply. The researchers were seeking further grant money to develop a matching decompression scheme.

No. Perry Logan in Logar! from the planet Logar!. + dubbed in clapping, and books behind him (have a look at the books, they are all Harry Potter and Terry Pratchet)

Poo I took the thread title too literally, and was really hoping to see;

Wallace go on about 911.

Now theres a man who could invent a sideways cutting thermite cutter that could be clapped on to a supporting beams of the WTCs

[Undesired Walrus]

He seems very well informed about the truthers, I wondered if he is one of us?
