>>	Anonymous Mon May 23 17:28:53 2011 No.3109236 >>3109203 Because a byte is by definition the smallest unit and therefore can not be a large file, right?

>>	Anonymous Mon May 23 17:31:13 2011 No.3109250 >>3109203 I could get in a lot of trouble for telling you this, but the CIA/NSA/MIB only consider 253 large files to be important enough to use their secret compression technology on.
