In the thread with the highdef images, there is a screen cap of the interior of the food pantry from this ep- and on each and every item is DI9FFTR731 - these could be logistics tracking numbers, delivery information or who knows what.. I didn't notice this when I watched the ep - but in the screen cap it's like.. wow.. more numbers..

since there's lots of number people here.. anyone have any idea what this could mean? I know this may sound crazy:biggrin: - but I have a strange feeling that it may be of significance..

These numbers were so small, I am surprised anyone could understand it. Therefore, I seriously doubt they are of signifigance. If any, it would be very little.

I think it's significant too. I posted my theory but haven't had any response yet. If you break it down, it can be

Wow, I just started visting Fuselage last week. I have learned that I am
1) unobservant
2) slow at analyzing little details
3) uneducated on a wide variety of subjects.

I am in awe of the information many of you have in your minds or you know how to find.

You smart, me dumb!!!!

Maybe just reading this site will give me some smarts as well as entertain me.

As far as them being small goes - perhaps they were small - but they were on everything down there and they weren't the "standard" number set - so my guess is that DI9FFTR731 means something. It may well be a foreshadowing clue of sorts - but it's gotta be something.
The sites that Walt posted are interesting as a find for this series of letters/numbers - and I think things we see now are even more likely to have been researched by the writers than things from Season 1.

I agree LostPack!

They definately must mean something or why would they be on there and placed on every single item. The writers know how this show is dissected. Who could have seen the numbers on the bottles Des injected himself with if you werent able to stop and pause that seen or see HD caps? Those numbers mean something. Why didnt they just use the regular numbers.

Maybe they though using the "regular numbers" (!) would be a little "too much", reducing their "weirdness" and "mysticality (can I say that?)"... so they used random numbers...

we will see, eventually...

I haven't checked this out any further. Has anyone found different sites that might fit with the label?

I've found other mentions on other boards, but nothing significant. I find the best information is generally here anyway lol.

Hey there, guys. I'm sure I'm not correct on this, but it IS a funny coincidence.

I got to thinking, what if this string of letters and numbers is disguised under "leetspeak?" You know, like "w3 ar3 3133t 4ax0rz" etc.

Searching for anagrams, turning DI9FFTR731 into DIGFFTRTEL gets these results:

DR FELT GIFT
DR LEFT GIFT

Searching for anagrams, turning DI9FFTR731 into DIGFFTRTEI gets these results:

GIFTED RIFT
FIDGET RIFT
RED GIFT FIT
DR GET IF FIT

Haha, like I said, I'm not making up a crackpot theory, just thought it was interesting. ;)

So small ?

On some of the containers it was written almost as large as the contents description.

Leetspeak LOL.. yes, scrubclub - I was thinking along those lines also - but netspeak keeps interfering in my thoughts..

Hi,

only a very small point but there happens to be the same amount of characters in the new number/code as the original set of numbers. I wonder if using the two you can create some sort or new code or word by using the same pairings like below.

D I 9F FT R7 31
4 8 15 16 23 42

Probably nothing but thought i would mention it.

Color me confused, how does one access this site? When I click it goes through the numbers and says IP denied.

It's just a fansite, or viral marketing, maybe. It's just a Flash animation. View the source of the page and check the keywords. I wonder how many hits he's gotten so far? Seems like 13871 hits, so far.

You can also get the same thing here.

Edit: BTW. I couldn't find any reference with Michael Moore and that number given on the first page. Even in Yahoo.

Yeah, it's a nothing site. Just two flash files, one being the DHARMA logo that "builds" it self, and one being the DHARMA logo with the fake IP detector.

perhaps the IP detector is the clue...

maybe one or both sets of the numbers have some type of identity/origination or IP address quality to them...? Also the symbol builds itself, the symbols are used in the ancient art of i-ching and correspond to specific meanings, maybe the way they appear is a clue also somehow....?

DIFFTR is a military acronom for Differential Time Relay. I wonder if this is a clue?

oh, thats a good possibility - hmmmm, do you know what they use it for, or what a differential time relay is?

I'm trying to figure that out...

I did come across some sites for Differential algebra as well. I wonder if we can use the numbers 9 7 3 1 some how in an algebraic equation?

Oooh, here's something interesting. Differential equations are used to calculate immune responses and the spread of viruses. Here's a site I found with more info, but I can't figure out if any of it is relevant to this discussion.

Just an observation.

Differntial equations are used to model everything, just an FYI.

I don't have a scientisfic explanation, but at first glance it looks like different. Could be a clue? Not really sure. My mind has gone to mush from trying to evaluate all the theories and numbers, etc.

Differential Time Relay - what would that mean? I did a search, but there's was just way too much and I'd be off on a tangent lol.

I also tried capital DI the other day and got Da Vinci code


Love the connection to the military SMoK9977

Buggers.........I'm glad some of you out there understand this stuff and keeps us on the straight and narrow.

I didn't open the site just now, I just checked to see if it worked, but now I have to go check this out. It's hard enough keeping it straight without things like this being planted.

On the thread about the Dharma site that's been active for a few days now, somebody mentioned the author of the site is named Stefan Engblom. I found this link for Stefan. Anybody else think this might have a connection?

How do you figure out who runs it etc?

I'm not sure exactly how to do it. It has something to do with viewing the source code... To think, there used to be a time when I knew everything about computers. My how we become obsolete so quickly.

Not that it has anything to do with Lost, and it is amusing that you guys can't figure out whose website it is (you must be busy trying to figure out who is buried in Grant's tomb) but that site is registered as follows:

I knew the site. Just didn't want to give him more free pub.

I don't know id you should be posting the addresses and phone numbers here, even if it is public record? Not really sure, but it just seems wrong.

What if (and this might be a stretch)

The government has somehow found a cure for EVERYTHING related to human immunodeficiency (HIV/AIDS, Cancer, etc). They infect two groups of people. One, a control group, lives ON the island (the "Others"). They are infected and not given any kind of medicine, basically left to fend for themselves and live (or die) on the island. (This might explain their overly haggard appearance)

The other group is infected, but are put into the Hatch, given medicine, food, etc. Obviously some of this group dies for whatever reason. Others "escape" the hatch (i.e. Ethan Rom) and are not allowed to return. Desmond is the only person to have survived (that we know of). He was released into the "real world" about four years ago, to test whether his immunity held up. This is when he crosses paths with some of our Lostaways. He's in a "race around the world" to return to the hatch (and his medicine) before a predetermined amount of time has passed.

This is a truly far-out theory, and probably not anywhere near the truth...but it's just me running thoughts out in my head. Anyone who wishes to propigate the theory and expand upon it is welcome to do so. Putting our heads together, we might figure something out.

Just my humble opinion!

I don't know id you should be posting the addresses and phone numbers here, even if it is public record? Not really sure, but it just seems wrong.

It's actually freely available information...

Just do a WHOIS search on any of the domains he uses to point to his site:

http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jhtml

http://www.internic.net/whois.html

maybe Desmond was racing around the world to see it one last time before the "end" that he thought was coming.

Yeah, it pained me too, but I couldn't resist. I am weak.
