O utensils of the world --
|
|
|
|
I wonder if it is possible to reverse-engineer the Reed-Solomon
|
|
error-correcting codes to create a bytestream such that, when burned
|
|
onto a CD, you can make out a picture in the diffraction pattern?
|
|
|
|
I suppose this is a modern equivalent to line-printer artwork; I was
|
|
imagining using a CD-RW drive to use the outer track, say, to spell out
|
|
the disc title, creation time, etc. It would sure beat feeding CDs
|
|
through a laser printer :-)
|
