Claims copyright infringement
For publishing this:
13,256,278,887,989,457,651,018,865,901,401,704,640
This number can be used to watch HD-DVD movies on the Linux operating system. The movie industry is trying to claim that publishing the above number is a violation of the DMCA. Since when are numbers subject to DMCA protection?
In hexadecimal form, it's "09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0", but I've represented it above in the more commonly-used decimal.
I suggest the following new English word:
cdzrherntphpqjwetxeqjggpvkq (verb) To decrypt an HD-DVD. Example usage: "Bob cdzrherntphpqjwetxeqjggpvkqed The Matrix so that he could watch it in Linux."
Hint:
s = "CDZRHERNTPHPQJWETXEQJGGPVKQ"
n = 0
for c in s:
n *= 26
n += ord(c) - 65
print n
Heh.
And, thanks to the ubiquitous Internet, we can spread the word of CDZRHERNTPHPQJWETXEQJGGPVKQ without anyone actually needing to know how to pronounce it.

Its fine, they can have that number...I've got a copyright on 13,256,278,887,989,457,651,018,865,901,401,704,641 and 13,256,278,887,989,457,651,018,865,901,401,704,639 though. They're better numbers.
