    Any _real_ experts on compression here?

    I thought so

    I thought you were an expert in everything?

    I know a wee bit from a network perspective but I suspect that's not what you're after ...

      I must own up to being a bit of an expert on compressing pay rates to contractors.

        You guessed right.

        I am interested in hearing from those who know what "MOFFAT" (in context of compression) stands for.

        The interest is in area of integer coding and binary index compression.

            Are you aware of any better work on index compression than Moffat? This is what counts, not ability to find who he is after I gave enough hints so that even a retard could do it.

              Ah ha, AtW is trolling me. Yes, I do know Alistair Moffat. He is an expert on compression. My first thought when you say Moffat Compression is the compression of textual information and building indexes from them. Would have thought that was part of how your SKA worked already...

                I wasn't aware you have made some progresses, good to hear.

                  Reading more carefully the words of a retard before he edits them:

                  "I am interested in hearing from those who know what "MOFFAT" (in context of compression) stands for."

                    I need to compress inverted index better - I have got recent Moffat's paper at hand (read a few times and fully understand) that I am going to implement tonight, however I was wondering if anybody done anything better than him. It seems like not, perhaps I will have to write paper myself next year.
