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?

hey wait a sec

rar turns a file into 70% size

so if you startt with 100 MB and rar it youg et 70 MB

then rar it again to get 49 MB then again to get 34 MB then a bunch more times to get it to 1 MB

100x compression!!!!!

any SICP hacaker codfe that up? could be goosd
