MD5's predict the Future!
by Acidus at 10:37 am EDT, Jun 19, 2007

On June 4 I posted an MD5 checksum 98a358d372c87da29509a44cc3ec387f

acidus@hatter:~$ cat purchase.txt
SPI will be purchased by HP in June or July
acidus@hatter:~$ md5
md5               md5sum            md5sum.textutils
acidus@hatter:~$ md5sum purchase.txt
98a358d372c87da29509a44cc3ec387f  purchase.txt
acidus@hatter:~$

Sure enough: HP buys SPI.

Today is only my 2nd day working at SPI. I wonder what will happen tomorrow...

Normally I'd be impressed, but with all the MD5 collision trickery that's out now, I demand to see the hex dump of purchase.txt ;)
