->Muse! When we learned to
->count, little did we know all
->the things we could do
->
->some day by shuffling
->those numbers: Pythagoras
->said "All is number"
->
->long before he saw
->computers and their effects,
->or what they could do
->
->by computation,
->naive and mechanical
->fast arithmetic.
->
->It changed the world, it
->changed our consciousness and lives
->to have such fast math
->
->available to
->us and anyone who cared
->to learn programming.
->
->Now help me, Muse, for
->I wish to tell a piece of
->controversial math,
->
->for which the lawyers
->of DVD CCA
->don't forbear to sue:
->
->that they alone should
->know or have the right to teach
->these skills and these rules.
->
->(Do they understand
->the content, or is it just
->the effects they see?)
->
->And all mathematics
->is full of stories (just read
->Eric Temple Bell);
->
->and CSS is
->no exception to this rule.
->Sing, Muse, decryption
->
->once secret, as all
->knowledge, once unknown: how to
->decrypt DVDs.
