I while i am not really proficient at reading patents, this seems to
be generating patterns using a RNG and then comparing the difference
to the source sequence.
I would have thought that the cost of storing the seed of the
generator would outweigh the benefits...
What are my more learned comp.compression regulars think? |

You think right.

Even more bullshit than an average patent.

Just a convoluted way of saying "If your input file matches the output of a
random number generator, the generator can be used to compress the
file!</invention>" |
