I was bored and wanted to calculate Pi to 1000 digits on my 733mhz PC to see how long it would take. I got bored of
that and have stopped it after 7 days.
Now I've explained
my story, I should explain what this is about.
I know this is already known by almost all of you, but Pi is an infinate string of apparently random numbers, therfore containing every possible series of numbers that could ever possibly exist.
That means you could, in theory, obtain any piece of software, music, or movie you wanted. Hear me out.
For instance, if I wanted to find the string "pj1115 is a UMD drive in disguise", I would find the sequence of numbers consisting of:
11210649494953321051153297328577683210011410511810 13210511032100105115103117105115101 (The decimal ASCII version of the string). That
is in Pi.
The theory that every movie, piece of music, picture, software, firmware, article, book, and everything else is stolen or plagurised from Pi, which has always been existance. Even most of nature (theoretically) consists of triillions of numbers, of which can be found in Pi.
Therefore, according to theory, all movies are copyright infringements, all music was illegally plagurised, the Bible is a fraud, the PSP's firmware v4.00 already exists, and all existing versions are illegal. Every computer virus to ever exist is there, as is the cure for every human disease. Even the meaning of life is contained within the )( numbers in Pi.
Then, branching off from that, if we wanted to, we could legally create a site for unlimited free software, movies and music. For instance, if we wanted to distribute "Click" the movie, we would find the decimal ASCII version of a DVD ISO of the film (lets say the rip was called 'click.iso'), convert the data from 'click.iso' to decimal ASCII and then locate that data in Pi.
We could then post the start and finish locations of the entire DVD ISO in Pi onto a site. That would mean no legal or illegal download is required, you the end-user would only need to generate the numbers in Pi from between those locations, and save the file from the decimal ASCII data. Nobody owns Pi, so it would be legal.
Review:
The word 'Info' in decimal ascii code is 73787079, which occurs at position 8,223,688 counting from the first digit after the decimal point.
That concludes my completely useless and stupid piece of information. Sorry if I seem like a complete idiot, it's just nice to think that Sony is naughty for plagurising.
You can find Pi to the 1,000,000 decimal place here:
