Follow the link to the website. The patent on a "universal" data 
compressor is so good I had to pass it around to a couple of 
coworkers...amazing how the mathematicians immediatly applied 
the counting argument to it. (4/4)

(BTW- any body teaching combinatorics should use this one as an 
example in a classroom. As someone once said about the Sylow 
theorems, "never underestimate something that allows you to 
count")
