[aclug-L] DeCSS as a prime number?

[Nate Bargmann <n0nb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some may have already read this.  The Register is reporting on a
researcher who has encoded the descrambling CSS code for DVDs in a prime
number.  Not being any kind of a math whiz (I do well to get my
checkbook balanced each month), this is truly fascinating to me.  I
suppose that nearly anything can be described as a prime number, given
enough of a willingness to do so.  Here's the link:
