Was that the Rough Guide to the DVC? I saw that the other day - funny that they've jumped on that bandwagon too, but it does look interesting. Problem is that it'd be prety hard to get to the bottom of some of the issues they deal with, because of all the religious secrecy surrounding them.

I read Digital Fortress a while ago too. Another good book with a complex and twisting storyline. There were, however, some *enourmous* inaccuracies regarding the technology they talk about, namely that the computers required to do what they speak of are not advanced enough (yet...). An ex of mine who works at GCHQ starts turning red in the face and muttering whenever I mention the book, entirely for that reason Wink

ok the stamped 24 digit

previous mention of chinese codes i have found this web resource http://chinesecode.no-ip.com/misc/four.php, breaking the 24 digit string into 6 groups of four digit's would allow us to encode this number into the chinese characters. however i have no meaning for the chinese charaters as yet.

Y'know, those of you trying to make Chinese characters out of this could always run a mod calculation on any numbers that fall outside the range of characters. Though why use Chinese? We've established that Sente is a Japanese word....

Seej : Kanji is Chinese characters that are used in the JAPANESE language hehehe...

for lack of the time to translate it, what does Sente mean in english?

about that number: i just tried to encode the number as semacode, but got no results. then i did a little googling and came up with this page: http://www.pc-help.org/obscure.htm. it is kind of old, but has some nice methods of URL obscuration (is that a word?). maybe the number is somewhat of that kind?
mabe someone not as cryptographically challenged as myself could try out some of the methods described there....

i can't remember whether i have seen this before, so i just added up all the numbers in the long number. the result is ... 99.
don't think it means anything, but then again, who knows... Wink
