Converting Pi to binary: DON’T DO IT [rec.humor.funny]

Huh?:

WARNING: Do NOT calculate Pi in binary. It is conjectured that this number is normal, meaning that it contains ALL finite bit strings.If you compute it, you will be guilty of:

* Copyright infringement (of all books, all short stories, all
newspapers, all magazines, all web sites, all music, all movies,
and all software, including the complete Windows source code)
* Trademark infringement
* Possession of child pornography
* Espionage (unauthorized possession of top secret information)
* Possession of DVD-cracking software
* Possession of threats to the President
* Possession of everyone’s SSN, everyone’s credit card numbers,
everyone’s PIN numbers, everyone’s unlisted phone numbers, and
everyone’s passwords
* Defaming Islam. Not technically illegal, but you’ll have to go
into hiding along with Salman Rushdie.
* Defaming Scientology. Which IS illegal–just ask Keith Henson.

Also, your computer will contain all of the nastiest known computer viruses. In fact, all of the nastiest POSSIBLE computer viruses.

This is almost completely false.  Unless you compile the correct bit string sequences, you don’t have crap.  Now if you happen to stumble on a sequence that compiles into something then whoopie, you just beat THE odds.

Highly improbable and really really ghey.

What i don’t understood is in reality how you are now not really much more neatly-appreciated than you might be right now. You are very intelligent. You realize therefore considerably in relation to this subject, made me for my part consider it from a lot of various angles. Its like women and men are not interested except it’s one thing to do with Lady gaga! Your own stuffs outstanding. Always maintain it up!
