And how do you measure richness? If I have a lot of money to throw away, does that make me rich? See where I’m getting at?

If I spend a lot of time doing nothing, that means I’m a rich man, since I can throw away the most valuable asset I have which is time – the only asset I can never possibly buy back.

That’s all very nice, but what’s the point?  The point is, that number has just become your very own circumvention device, which, if it falls in the wrong hands, allows people to decrypt copyrighted material without your permission, just like the infamous 09 AACS  HD-DVD decryption key. Yes, now you too can harass people for publishing a plain old hex number!

I have my own, but I’m not telling – just be careful which numbers you use from now on, I’m watching ;)
