claim: Rob McElhenney plays Mac on a TBS horror series.
evidence: The cyclic redundancy check -LRB- CRC -RRB- is based on division in the ring of polynomials over the finite field GF -LRB- 2 -RRB- -LRB- the integers modulo 2 -RRB- , that is , the set of polynomials where each coefficient is either zero or one , and arithmetic operations wrap around .. cyclic redundancy check. cyclic redundancy check. division.
