what about roman numerals as the ICVV stuff????
that isn't a valid number.
one less than one hundred, plus 5 plus 5 (or plus five less than five)
or 1-100-5-5
either way, it makes no sense to write it that way.
and the ICVV has been debunked anyway. It's AACI (as in aaci.org written below it {or above it, depending on your viewpoint})

yes but what kind of 18 year old intern is on the Asian bar association of washington? An 18 year old Video game loving lawyer who lives in chicago but practices in washington? Pretty far fetched.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried looking for a message in the dots themselves? One possible way of including a message might be to look across the white spaces rather than straight at it (as we have to do on monitors.) Lay a printout on its side, and look parallel to the paper to see if anything exists. Just a thought
Genius idea! I just wish I had a printer.
For anyone wanting to try it heres a copy of just the blcoks, inverted so it'll be easy to read on white paper.

maybe if you were to cut out the blocks, and hold the "holey" paper up to a printed sheet of Reset-reality.net?

I think that it has been mentioned that these blocks will not correspond to a written passage due to the fact that they do not line up correctly horizontally.
Why can't I type properly today, it takes me as long to correct spelling errors as it does for me to type the blasted posts.

that only applies if your using a fixed width font. Times new roman characters do not always line up over different lines because i's take up less space than W's

i think its pointing at the 5 and around the 12, back to message 5 12.

I meant that they don't line up with each other, for example you would get the bottom of one letter and the top of another with some of the blocks. Maybe I should've said that they are not spaced correctly vertically.
Someone else could explain better than me, I can't concentrate properly today.

I put the picture into microsoft word and shrunk it to see if any words would appear. On its side it sorta looks like GS...try it and see if you can see anything. Its worth a try.

I know I was one of the first on this board to mention the difficulties in lining up the spaces...
What it comes down to is the line height on a site doesn't typically match up all that well with the heights of those white spaces. If you want to think of it like this, let's just pretend the font height for text is 8 pixels tall and those white spaces are 12 px tall, so for every three line of text the white spaces are covering up two lines, or to get it down to a ratio, one white space is one-and-a-half lines of text. When you're trying to pull out some secret code from text in that fashion it simply doesn't work out. I don't think they'd make it that obscure where you have to ask yourself if you really should consider a letter or not because just a bit of it is within the space of a white spot.
I'm thinking the white spaces have had their use with the barcode, nothing beyond that. Seriously, think they could have both made that barcode work AND spaced them out just perfectly to devise some secret code that you can only see when lined up with text? That's really tough for me to believe.

What I think he meant by looking at it on its side is this:
print it out
put it on a surface like a table
look at it at eye level.
This is a common optical illusion where nothing but block will appear as words when viewed at thisangle.

How does that point to 12?! Sorry for being rude, but it clearly points to 2 (or 2:30 ish).
And another point on the picture, I don't have any image enhancement software, but can anyone make anything out from the piece of paper in the top center of the picture? (To the right of the yellow "acii.org" piece)
