it can be perfectly compressed, since it contains no information No - it contains 100% information, since no value can be predicted from the value(s) of the preceeding sample(s)! a random source at the other end can reproduce it to any required degree. No - it will produce another random sequence - not re-produce the same sequence! |

| Information vs. Meaning | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| How about helping rather than ridiculing | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| NOT ridiculing | 01/01/70 00:00 | |

| proper run length coding | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| But how do you know... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| slight mistake | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| By definition! | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| go outside the box | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Or more RAM | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
if 256 byte not sufficient | 01/01/70 00:00 |
