5/14    The (12,8) FEC hamming code has the following 4 correcting bits:
        (format is D8,D7,D6,D5,P4,D4,D3,D2,P3,D1,P2,P1)
        P1 = sum(D1,D2,D4,D5,D7) mod 2
        P2 = sum(D1,D2,D6,D7) mod 2
        P3 = sum(D2,D3,D4,D8) mod 2
        P4 = sum(D5,D6,D7,D8) mod 2.
        How does one derive that? I have (15,11) and (7,4) perfect code
        examples but I don't get how the parity bits are calculated. Thx.
        \_ what class is this?

1/18    I own a bunch of NFLX stocks bought at several different periods
        (from high $200 all the way down to $80). I dumped a few and
        still have a few. Why the hell is Reid Hastings still making
        $500,000/year? How do I join the pending NFLX Class Action
        Lawsuit?
