It's a zip (or some kind of archive) with some metadata. It's still a zip at heart. I've looked at it and I don't consider it novel enough to not call it a zip, but that's just me splitting hairs.
The point isn't whether it's some god damn zip file. The POINT is with the added metadata it adds a safety layer. It simply tells the application about the file, the application then compares it to your console's info and then uses it (if it's safe).

What did i miss while i was dual booting ubuntu? XD
nothing, as usual. This thread will be 100 times more bloated if the real thing or anything related gets released.

Yes, I just don't find the heaps of praise and arguments are warranted. I've explained this, and I guarantee I know more about what's going on than you. It's just a bit grating to see "HE INVENTED A NEW FILE TYPE BY HIMSELF!" when its less than approximately 32 bits of header data.

Sure, you know what's going on more than me, ok. Anyways, it isn't like @JustPingo himself was telling people that. It isn't HIS fault that other people interpreted it as that. He's even said that it's a zip file himself iirc.

Are you that bored that you have to argue over something so trivial?

On no. I figure explaining it how it is and properly informing people is the best way to stop pointless arguments. The whole situation is comical.

No, he said it was NOT a zip file, with a SHA-1 layer, from what i know. soo..its not just a "zip file". i had a chat with him on twitter about it. its not a zip file.
