Danke.
that seems to be German, in Dutch "Bedankt" would be appropiate. i
appreciate the effort though.
I found the english wkik entry so I could understand the
piece. Since Sloot is dead, no way of knowing.
actually there is. the Dutch wiki-article has much more detail about the case.
this Sloot guy claimed he could compress any movie into 1kb ( 1024
bytes ). he stored this 1kb movies on smartcards, which he would feed
into his magic machine to show the movies.
in The Netherlands there was press-coverage about this, and he was
able to attract investors and even a ( up to then ) reputable IT-guru
assiocated with Philips to back him. they found silicon-valley
investors who were interested.
he died / killed himself / was murdered before his hoax could be uncovered.
sounds a lot like the perpetuum mobile stories.
But this is the
kind of leap forward that would save, oh, a few measley
$Billions. And give millions of us faster and broader access.
good luck!

usleep
