The infinite webspace algorithm

[d99janh]

Here is the secret compression algorithm that allow a webhost
to offer unlimited webspace, without having real "unlimited harddrives" (or a unlimited nuber of ordinary ones).
The algorithm is described in steps:

To compress:
Step 1. Take the file(s) you want to compress.
Step 2. Delete the file(s).

To uncompress:
Step 1. Recieve a request for the file(s).
Step 2. Return a "404 - file not found" message.

Please note that this method prevents excessive use of bandwidth also!
Does anyone know if any webhosts actually uses this
algorithm? :D

P.S. This is all intended as a joke ;)

This a joke? It is the probable methods of some hosts. :D

OK, make it "should be intended as a joke" instead then :D

Did you edit that? If you did, how did you do it an hour later without it saying "Edited by..."

And if you didn't, why did you say that thing above? :confused:

It was said: if in a scientific text you meet a word that you don't understand, miss it - the text will keep the same meaning without the word. It applies also to the big part of Internet.
On the contrary, it will be a problem to find a content for the infinite storage capacities soon.
By the way the Big Burst is the best compressing means :( :)

His second post says: make it "should be intended as a joke" instead then. I don't see any problems with this, unless you saw his first post without the P.S.

Do I sound confusing?
