dutch inventor found a way to code data in a way so all movies ever made would fit on one cd

due to a coding system that makes it possible to fit the whole content of lets say a book of 1000 pages in one number

1 day before he would hand over the code an would be a multimiljonair he died of a heartattack???, tom perkins(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Perkins)
promised him to be the richest man of the world a few days before....

this whas in the dutch news back in say 2000

he had a test system with 30 movies on a 16mb card which you could watch simultaniously and scroll through at high speed as u liked.

the crown prince of philips, Roel Pieper(check wiki roel pieper on google) resigned from his position with philips to go on with this invention

till today a mysterie where the code is, the inventors room which used to be a chaos with a truckload of paper,
was mysteriouslty cleaned up 1 day after his dead?

did anyone notice how fast we can watch movies by utube these days, and how many simultaniously on a up to date computer
how many of us know what's really inside a processor
with this man's technologie your 10 year old processsor would be powerfull enough for the next 100 years

my suspision is this technologie is being used in little steps by the big companies, they just stole it!

I agree....truely "another strange story"

Uh-huh.

Here's my copy of "War and Peace" :   142.

And the Bible (King James version):     376.

I'm having trouble with the children's books, though. How can I tell "Dr. Seuss" ( 2 ) from "Peter Rabbit" ( also 2 )?

There's nothing inside those processors except some sand, rocks, glass, and little metal and plastic trinkets.

Seriously, it's funny how the story gets inflated over time, with additions and exaggerations, and "a friend who works at the police" or a "scientist" adds further uncorroborated details...

There weren't 30 movies that could be browsed on a little card; there were suitcases stuffed with tech; it was a pretty simple feat of compression when you get right down to it.

Clipped from a forum somewhere in cyberspace:
Poster A:
"The truth lies of course in the question what you are trying to code. Sloot never claimed he could code an infinite amount of movies into a 128 KB chip. The man has never said anything of the sort. Besides, there is no evidence whatsoever that Mr. Sloot claimed he was able to code an infinite amount of movies onto anything. Even better, Sloot has never referred to an "infinite" amount of movies in any documentation that he has left behind. What Sloot coded on his chipcard was nothing more than some security keys needed to jumpstart his application. The real work was done inside the boxes he took with him. Boxes half the size of suitcases and stuffed with microchips and IC's.

The truth about the Sloot matter is far more complicated than has been presented so far. I will gladly provide more info, depending on the reactions. Mr. Van Wijck here is regrettably on the wrong track. But Andries's reaction is of the destructive kind, suggesting Mr. Sloot was a fraud or a kook, and discouraging any serious debate. Mr. Sloot was neither. He really had something unique and could explain it to anyone intelligent enough to understand. â€"Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.10.187.124 (talk) 01:22, 7 June 2008 (UTC)"

Poster B:
"     If "the real work was done inside boxes half the size of suitcases, stuffed with [technology]", then whatever Mr. Sloot demonstrated in 1995 was not unique from a third-party perspective because it was no more impressive than a handful 1.5 Mbit MPEG-1 videos (Video CD, 1993) together with a laptop with either CD-ROM (1985, required 2x speed soon after) or a 2 Mbit Wavelan wireless device (1990) accessing the videos through a stream from a server.

It may have been procedural descriptions of the analog function that describes the picture.

Here´s a demo using procedural description of complex things. The demo fits all of the following (video and music, plus 3d engine, plus video and audio renderer!!) into only 64 KB of program code:

you can download or view (on youtube) lots more 64k demos here, it´s amazing what a crafty coder can squeeze into 64k!:

edit: I am aware of information theory and entropy etc. but sometimes you gotta dream. a fractal contains alot of complexity for instance.

True enough TK, but there´s nothing isnside of us but a bunch of atoms and molecules either. A whole human can be described by 3.4billion base pairs, sounds alot but only equivalent to about 750MB, so you can get  about 6 people on 1 el-cheapo DVDR. Yet we assume we are more than just marionettes reacting to stimuli. We even think we can think!

Ahhh, gotta watch bladerunner again soon, it´s been too long!
