That's why he qualified it by calling it a 2-bit nibble (a kinder term for

a bit is a bit is a bit, no matter how you represent it.
The I Ching stuff is just a handy and culturally rich way of representing
bits. Plus it gives me a target implementation for new protocols etc.
"appearances deceive, see things as they are"
most machines represent bytes as 8 || 32 || 6
Hmmm... while I'm a fan of the I Ching on some
level, the relationship to Linux is iffy at best.
Ok ok... so it's binary Fine.

P.S. Does it take less time for a harddrive to
write a 0 than a 1?

The ghostwriter, David Diamond, reads it.
Next time I attend a EUGLUG meeting, I'll bring it. Unfortunately,
that won't be this week. Xmas interferes.

Not at all. I defy you to find a million-line software project

No, I just meant that it would update a stored copy, and then use that to

I used to have a link to a large comprehensive list of ports and what
they were used for, but I seem to have lost it. I can find lots of
lists, but none as full as this one. Anybody have a link to a great
