    lzip, the new compression scheme

    You should check this out, lzip, it's like the coolest compression ever! It's just awesome man. If used right, you can compress your files down to 0%, and save tons of space. How can it do that? 'l' stands for lossy.
    All four star people are not cool!!

    Wait a minute, that includes me, doesn't it? Damn...

    uhhhhh, isn't 0% impossible?
    Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise. --Lewis Carrol

    Maybe its just coz im always a bit sceptical, but 0%??
