You know what my favorite numbers are? 9, 249, 17, 2, 157, 116, 227, 91, 216, 65, 86, 197, 99, 86, 136, and 192 of course! But don’t tell anyone, because that string of decimal numbers is copyright 2007, Jemal Cole. In hexadecimal, they belong to somebody else.

Update: Thanks to Ed Felten, I now own the number: 53 E8 4F 09 67 7B 89 2B F0 68 24 96 30 54 AC AF! It’s illegal for you to know it, so please try not to read the previous sentence. Get yours here.

  1. You may be wondering why there are no comments here. Perhaps, it has something to do with this:

    “Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at rudd-o.com.”

  4. This number reminds me of the multi million dollar copy protection scheme that could be defeated by making a 3/8 inch long line on the CD with a black marker.

    Have you ever thought of becoming wealthy by selling bullshi* copy protection to large companies with stupid people in charge? Looks like a growth market to me.

  5. I dunno - I have enough ethical quandaries in my life. And the link wasn’t broken, it was slashdotted!
