Re: New compression method

"Known issues with lzip 1.0:
Attempting to compress the lzip or lunzip programs themselves will trap your system in an infinite loop, and may cause the platter from your hard disks to shoot out of their drive bays at close to the speed of sound. Attempting to uncompress either of the exectuables will suck your computer into a minature black hole, which we believe from our benchmarks (speculatively) exits in an anitmatter universe parallel to our own. If you are interested in exploring this possibilty, please write to us once you get there. "

off of the download section of the page. he was probably referring to that. I know it gave me a chuckle. hehe. as did the whole program being gzipped. =D

Wow! Thanks for the link! My computer has sooo much room now that I compressed most of my personal files using lzip. I had done that before using gzip, but lzip was a ton better! Compression is a great thing. Why did you say it was humorous? It seems more amazing than anything to me.


NOTE: I didn't really do this. You shouldn't either.
