in text compression...
~2 bit per char should be do-able on normal (non-random) texts... // Right down-to less than one bit(~0.5) per char is assumed possible [wiki said it was, or something to that effect..]
Surely it's not at it's limit yet though..?
Can you prove that something, data esp., can't be compressed any further?
