The only purpose of this is as checksum, like an "enhanced crc", in any case I will apply it. I know you know, just for clarify for anyone who read this.
Adding another note... Whoever wants to be sure should use verification with gpg signature (boot option 'verify'). Though even that is not secure - it checks for a valid signature, but not for a trusted key. Nevertheless we should drop md5 - especially if it is an easy task. -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Best regards my address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* Chris cc -ox -xc - && ./x */b/42*2-3)*42);}
