Recursive Flooding was a good album, but I've been listening to Infinite Dikes since their first album, "Neverending Dutch Boys"

I'm not sure that's the correct word either. something more akin to "made irrelevant", "can be glossed/smoothed over".
Upon looking in a dictionary (which I should have done the first time, but I was just being lazy) a better word would be disregarded or dismissed.

A compiler puts together proper executable programs. Doesn't mean that there is no other way to generate an executable.
I would never have thought of the hashes being executable. But, if they were an executable program, I would change the hex to raw data, and then try it as an executable in Linux, Windows and OSX.
If Randall generated an executable, and then cut it into pieces, giving us a piece at a time in the hash. That would be awesome. We wouldn't have the full program until the end of Time. It would be a small program, or a long Time. If I were Randall I would figure nobody would EVER think of that. I certainly never would. Kudos for the idea. But, I think it's very unlikely.
Sorry for my last two joke posts. It is an interesting idea. The hash data is random and looks very different to executable machine code. In theory it could be a compressed file but then we should see a header with the file type.

If there is meaning to the hashes I'd expect them to be released in reverse order, so any easily identifiable header etc only appears at the very end of time.

I hope you all are pointededly missing the point (??). Kid + that name = so so so wrong.
Who (before you) ever called her LaPetite Mort? We were just calling her "little (french chick)" Generally, I've noticed,though, adding "Death" to ANY name makes it just a tad bit creepier. Especially so in this case... But yeah, If she really was named "LaPetite Mort", then wouldn't it be more apropos for an orgasm-girl have come from the right side of the scene, from the coffeesemencancerbabiesea? Oooh, like Venus arising from the forthy semensea foam of the castrated Uranus! Is LaPetite an avatar of Venus?
