Not all bits have equal value.

HOUSTON – A potty-mouthed prankster managed to hack into an electronic sign in downtown Houston, treating drivers to an earthier message than their used to seeing.

The unknown prankster changed a temporary traffic sign that said "DETOUR" in large orange letters to "POOP." The message was there for most of the weekend.

Then on Monday morning, the sign was changed to ": ) LOL" before workers managed to change it back to its standard message.

All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all bits have equal value.
