[QUOTE="MODAT7, post: 241784, member: 13649"] I don't speak Italian, but I looked the title up elsewhere. There isn't anything magical about a CRC that would indicate it's from the past or future. It's just an excessively long number used as a verification fingerprint. There was a project to "brute force generate" the first page of every book ever printed or will be printed. In theory, that would give all the pages to every book ever created, just not in order and mixed up with a lot of other randomly generated trash. I've sometimes wondered about how to data mine something like that since anything would be said about anyone and any situation. Maybe if you had each page cryptographically signed by a personal private key that would weed out the trash, but then again, there could still be plenty of trash that passed the signature test since EVERYTHING is generated... so it would still be useless. Also trying to cryptographically verify trillions of pages in the search would take forever. As a little mind bender, this text in my response would also show up in it multiple times, but who knows with what other trash along side it. [/QUOTE]
