Someone had better explain why this sounds even SLIGHTLY like music. - http://bengoldacre.posterous.com/firefox...
It shouldn't. It should sound like white noise, surely? It's binary code interpreted as sound. I can just about convince myself that the quiet interlude is maybe a string table, and the weird arpeggio-sounding bit is some data structure repeated in different ways, but why should it fade in like that? - Andrew Taylor
Andrew Taylor
This lunatic thinks he's found a homeopathic cure for the Giffords shooting. - http://johnbenneth.wordpress.com/2011...

#mouseover discoverer: Twitter "not pressing charges"; Police "not investigating". Telegraph "not understanding internet" - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technol...
This would be like a clothes shop prosecuting you for pointing out they'd left the little alarm tag off a shirt. - Andrew Taylor

Labour are asking the internet to design their next billboard. I like it. /via. @tom_watson - http://www.labour.org.uk/create-...
