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: LINK

Sony already ripped off the Wii-mote.
I also noticed that for their Metal Slug Anthology page, they used the information from the Wii's page. Before it said SNK Playmore, in celebration of the 10th Anniversary of their classic arcade franchise Metal Slug, releases the greatest array of Metal Slug titles ever assembled for the Wii including Metal Slug, Metal Slug 2, Metal Slug X, Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug 4, and Metal Slug 5. The METAL SLUG COLLECTION is a "perfect translation" of the arcade classics and features support for intense two-player action.
Now they just changed the Wii in that sentence to Playstation 2.
Shows you just how much Sony tries to ripoff everyone.

That means that every movie and piece of music EVER is contained in Pi. |

Also that every PSP firmware that Sony has created was supposedly copyrighted illegitimately, as it has always been around. Quote: |

Such as, 867-5309iine | That's what I'm saying. Every possible sequence of numbers is in Pi. And no, that couldn't as it's not purely numerical. 5654554553514857105105110101 is, because that's the decimal ASCII version, which is all numbers.
It would also work with binary ASCII, too. Example:
'This is a demo' = '01010100, 01101000, 01101001, 01110011, 00100000, 01101001, 01110011, 00100000, 01100001, 00100000, 01100100, 01100101, 01101101, 01101111'.

For example, a DVD is about 4.7 gb. This calculation of pi would need to have every DVD ever made, including stuff in the future, which would put it in the yottabytes at least. |

Points: 213.42 Donate | | | True, and it wouldn't use up a set amount of disk space, it would keep going for ever and ever. There will never be enough storage to contain it.
The longest calculation of Pi to date is over 1.24 Trillion decimal places. 1,241,100,000,000 is the exact number.
Oh, and Dork, this is random but it would take someone 11 trillion years to download a one-yottabyte file using a 28.8 baud modem.
Remember what Spock said to get rid of an alien virus in their computer system in Star Trek?
"Computer, Calculate to the last possible digit, the value of pi".

"Jenny! I got your numbaa! I'm gonna [something something!] 867-5309iiiine!"

And the only DVDs I have of it are the complete set of Voyager, which I got sent when I ordered The Simpsons Season 1-17 off eBay. I got a refund, and got to keep the DVDs, but oh well... Quote:
