If you recall, I was here awhile back trying a method for Random Data
Compression but had to confess that it didn't work. I'm at it again.
You'll be able to track the progress at my forum
http://www.tretbase.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=90. The new method is
going to be coded over the holiday break.

Why? Can't you think of anything more positive to do than sit around
and troll usenet over the holidays? Go out, have a pint at the pub,
go see friends, do something other than be a shut in loser.

Thanks Tom. It isn't every day I have people expressing their concern for
me.

Why should we go to your forum where you have control over what can be
said/recorded of your methods?

Why not just post your progress here? Details on your own forum -
YES, but basic progress should be posted here.

This means that you should post all the fine details into your forum,
but the last time you did this I notice references (in this newsgroup)
to messages that were missing when I tried to read them on your
forum. To me this means your forum has (a) been editting out of
things you do not like, (b) buggy software that drops messages or (c)
reading rights that limit what i can see on your system.

None of this applies to this newsgroup, plus Google lets me search
your past statements here better than on you own forum. In all I see
no advantage to following your attempts on your own forums.

Post here, or please go away

I'll be posting in my forum the progress and details (as much as I want to
provide). There are various reasons why data is removed from my forum.
Newsgroups allow to much clutter (lack of moderation) but if you don't want
to visit the forum that is your option obviously.

This theorem is not valid:

"No program can compress without loss *all* files of size >= N bits, for any
given integer N >= 0."

Do you understand the difference between a theorem and a conjecture?
That's a theorem.

Don't talk about code ... prove the obverse.

Personally, I will settle for working code. Most people who claim
that they have a solution turn out to not even know how to program a
computer, much less how to express thier ideas in normal (standard)
math terms.

With a program I don't need to understand what they have claimed to
have done, just run it in a controlled enviroment to find out how they
are faking thier claims or are fooling themselves.
