Cool!  So I can solve all my storage problems by encoding my
files as JPEGs, posting them to usenet, and looking at them?

What's the black box have to do with it?

Even better:  You don't have to encode text files, because the
government can recover from your PC virtually every English word
that you have ever spoken, heard, or read in your entire life!

But there's more!  Believe it or not, they can recover a perfect
copy of _every single bit_ of digital information that has ever
passed through your PC!  And you simply would not believe the
compression factor:  No matter how many images you have viewed,
no matter how many mp3s you have heard, they all compress down
to _just two bits_.
