Converting Pi to binary: DON’T DO IT

Posted by Jorge Bernal October 30, 2006

Found at a worthy #1 at reddit:

WARNING: Do NOT calculate Pi in binary. It is conjectured that this number is normal, meaning that it contains ALL finite bit strings.

If you compute it, you will be guilty of:

• Copyright infringement (of all books, all short stories, all

   Jeje, es como el Teorema de los infinitos monos.

   Si se dispusiera de un número infinito de monos provistos de máquinas de escribir, o de una cantidad de tiempo infinita, uno de los monos llegaría a mecanografiar las obras completas de Shakespeare (y de hecho todas las historias del mundo).

   Por cierto, me acabo de enterar de que hay una RFC que implementa una suite de protocolos para este cometido:

   RFC 2795: The Infinite Monkey Protocol Suite (IMPS)

   This memo describes a protocol suite which supports an infinite number of monkeys that sit at an infinite number of typewriters in order to determine when they have either produced the entire works of William Shakespeare or a good television show. The suite includes communications and control protocols for monkeys and the organizations that interact with them.
