    I think I will try to be “in” too and use your stripes to illustrate my post : http://ploum.frimouvy.org/?145-do-i-have-to-protect-my-content-with-drm-the-drm-equation

    Thanks :-)

    This is brilliant! Much better than my previous choice. I’m going to collect a list of all the clever representations of the number.

    This whole HD-DVD key thing got very tired very quickly. However I love these stripes and am now sporting them as the background on my new laptop :)

    For those not very familiar with this… how does it work??

    Huh?- You’ll have to Google a bit, and figure it out. Start by examining the image. :)

    Nice! Such a simple image! I was just about to come up with a idea like this. Sure makes an interesting desktop wallpaper. I wonder if someone has done something similar with DeCSS codes too? This I gotta see!

    -CHEERS!

    I love the stripes! But I’d point out that if you use alpha, it divides real nicely, and quite shockingly ain’t too bad a color scheme neither….

    Hmmm, is it made from the colour codes of the 256 colour VGA palette of old times?

    Is this serious? ^_^
