This is dedicated to all the hackers and the crackers
I see in binary, I speak source code
Step on my toes, I'll post a million jpegs of you in a fag pose
In your digital stance, getting firewalled ho
Cause I'm riding the net in my six-fold
I was a dick with my 56
Now with my cable, I'm able to get that stable
On the out, my name is Ace and I'm a Leo
On the digital highway, my name is Neo and I'm a hero
In a flash, I'll screw you on burning dreampacks
You need some ISO? Let me through my hard drive rifle
Our exchange you could never stifle
In a digital hug, you just caught the love bug
I bootlegged your CD, I caused a fight between Un and Jay-Z
Your CG, it's all gonna be free
Whether we take it by force or we take it nicely
You feel that rattle in your bones?
When I tell you we just hacked out Jones
At NASDAQ, leave your fight on your back
Cause I am he who loves to hack and crack
This is dedicated to the hackers and the criminals
Serial codes, source codes, ISOs, RAMs, Sips, Sips
This is dedicated to the hackers and the crack
Alright, hello once again ladies and gentlemen
You know, I'm just so bummed out, I'm just so not motivated
I'm so bummed out
Hi guys
This is Binary Revolution Radio
Yes
As you can hear, Voodoo Hal is on the show
I am Stankdawg, this is episode 39
I don't, I don't even want to talk to what, tell them what the air date and all that stuff is
I don't know how, um, air date will be the 30th, which is Tuesday
No, I'm just so bummed
Alright, let me, I'll get it together
Let me just, let me just get my, get a deep breath
I'm just, I'm just suffering from hack failure
I just hate, oh, I failed
I failed miserably and it's not a good feeling
But, as you heard, we are here
March 30th, 2004
First aired
Voodoo Hal is on the line
I am Stankdawg
Probably already said that
And I'm just, I'm so depressed
Um, let's go into housekeeping
Let me see if I can, let me see if I can get some, uh
Get my game face on here, as they say
Um, why don't we start off talking about hack radio
As a matter of fact, you talk about hack radio
I, I need a moment
I'm getting verklempt
Uh, okay, well, hack radio is coming along quite well
Um, pretty much done with the, most of the, um, scheduling software
So you guys should start seeing actual things scheduled
Um, RFA episodes, something through the latest
I don't even remember at this point
Are going into the mix
Um, hopefully as we speak
I'm looking at the script right now and making some changes
So, um, by the time this airs
You should be hearing RFA in the mix
Um, I guess that's all the news for hack radio I have
Oh, I guess, uh, we're going to talk about stats
We did seem to have done last, well, the last, well, fuck
Yeah, that, you know
Last week with hack and slash
That, that was, I'm, that's a good thing to bring up
That'll, that'll cheer me up
We did, we did really well last week
We had, um, we finally
Actually, that was our first official airing on hack radio
Um, as the main stream or split stream
Well, actually, it was split completely equally
We had, um, an equal number of listeners over on Rant Radio servers
As we did on our own servers
So we've got some load balancing going on
We've got people listening on multiple channels
So that was really cool
And, yes, like you said, our ratings were at an all-time high
So that was pretty cool
So we know the server can handle the load now
Which is another test we wanted to do
So, um, I guess we could probably jump into some emails
Reading it, it'll, it'll always cheer me up
Because people always have a lot of good stuff to say
So let me, let me jump into some emails
Maybe that'll get me motivated and going again
Um, and plus, am I bringing you down?
I don't want to bring you down
No, don't bring me down
Even though you helped, you helped me fail
Just for the record
Well, no, you didn't
But I failed on my own, damn it
Oh, that really sucks
Anyway, email
I hope you succeeded for failing
Well, you know what is, what makes it really frustrating
And I know the listeners are like
What the hell are you talking about
But I thought we had a big one
And it got away
It's like that big, you know, that big fish that got away
Damn it
Alright, email number one
First email we got was
Uh, didn't have a name on it, actually
But, this is a question, actually
That I get fairly frequently
Uh, this one says
Yo man, what is up?
I am sending you this
Because I heard a TTY version of Down In It
On your show and loved it
I want a copy
Where's it at?
If you can help me locate this
That would be cool
Or I guess I must make my own
Heh
Alright, late
Um, I get a lot of this
People like the closing music
Whatever it happens to be
And, of course, I mix it up a lot
With a lot of independent artists
Net artists, stuff like that
Who give me permission to play their music
And the one he's referring to
Down In It, the TTY Down In
It was from
The Telephonic Craptacular
Which we were just talking about
Offline earlier
Episode 25
Um, and that
Just like all of the closing music
Is up on the
Radio.binrev.com page
Every time we put up a new episode
I'd say the name
Of who the closing music was
The closing artist
And a link to their site
So, check that out
That particular one was
Was called Spleen Harvest
So, if you go to
Radio.binrev.com
You can go down to
Episode 25
I think that's what it was
I'm pretty sure that's what it was
And, um
Click through and check out
That track
As well as some others
So, and that again
Holds true for
Every episode
I make sure I put it up there
And put links to it
That's the whole point
You know, is to promote
Independent music
And independent artists
Uh, email number two
Was from XZilla
And this is another one I got
After my rant on how much
I hate AOL
And AOL Instant Messenger
In, in, specifically
Um
This one was from
XZilla
Like I said
He, he says
I was listening to episode 36
And I heard how you had
Dropped AIM
Cause, well, basically
They suck
Well, yeah
That's the understatement
Of the year
No later than an hour
After listening
I found an ad hack
For AIM
And I figured I'd give it a try
First I uninstalled
My current AIM
And upgraded to the
Most recent version
Then installed the hack
To my surprise
It worked great
There were no advertisements
And when I checked
My program files
Viewpoint Media Player
Wasn't there
Oh, and for the record
I've never seen
Free.aol.com
In my IE trusted sites
Just think
Just figured I'd let you know
About another possible alternative
And the link
Which, we'll put this up
In the show notes
But it's
Aftermath.dindns.org
Slash AOL hack
So, yeah
Again, I get emails
From people
Ever since I
I think actually
Before 36
When I very first
Went off on it
Saying that there were
Hacks and that there were
Tricks
And there was a 2600 article
Wasn't there
A year or so ago
About how to remove
Some of the ads
And stuff
But, you know
It was just
I got tired of it
I just got tired
Of having to hack
AOL's crap
And to break it apart
It's fun
And it's alright
To do it the first
Couple times
But then when you
Have to do it
Over and over
And over again
It just gets old
And it was just
The straw that broke
The camel's back for me
And I just said
You know what
Forget it
They suck
AOL is suck
I hope they just
Disappear off the
Face of the planet
There's other
Instant messaging
Software out there
And they've got
This mindset
That they're the
Big ones
They're the
First
And they're the
Most popular
And most number
Of users
And you know what
Somebody's gonna
Knock them off
There's other
Competing alternatives
That are just as
Good if not better
So I just don't
Want to deal with
Hacking anymore
I couldn't care less
Couldn't care less
Now the free
AOL.com
And the trusted zones
Maybe that's been
Taken out
Now again that was
Something I
If I remember correctly
That was something
I had read while
Researching my
Problems with AIM
Someone else
Making that accusation
And I've never
Looked frankly
To see if it was
In mine
So maybe
There was such
An uproar
About that
That they
Removed it
But I haven't
Heard anything
Either way
So
Anyway
Yes thank you
For that email
And I've thought
About it
And I've had
Other people
Give me similar
Hacks or
Mentions of
Different hacks
And websites
And I just
Don't want to
Deal with it
Don't want to
Deal with it
Trillian gets
The job done
Good enough
For now
It has
Annoyances about it
But it's still
Infinitely better
Than AIM
Plus I get
To tie in
All my other
Stuff too
Down with the
Man
And you know
The thing about
Trillian that I
Like best is
I go in there
And I override
The defaults of
Course but it
Has logging built
Into it
And I've never
Cared
I you know
To me an
Instant message
Is just like
You know
A quick chat
A quick you know
Couple lines of
Code or something
You want to send
To somebody a link
And I never
Even thought about
Or cared about
Logging
I was like
I figured that'd be
One of those features
That big deal
You know who
Who cares
But in retrospect
Now I find myself
Using that a lot
I'll go back
And I'm like
You know what
I sent that link
To Voodoo
How last week
Let me go back
And see you
Open up the window
And it has the
Log in there
Now it's only
1024k
But I upped it
To 8
So I have a
Longer log
Of each individual
Session I guess
If you want to
Call it that
So it's come in
Surprisingly handy
Especially codes
And URLs
And stuff like that
I can go back
And find that
And that's really
I've actually
Found occasion
To use that
And actually
I was talking
To Nthory
One day
And I had
Given him
What was it
A snippet
No he had
What was it
We had given
Each other
Somebody had given
Each other
A little bit of code
And I went back
To look for it
And it had gone
Out of that
1 meg buffer
It was already
Gone past
So I increased
It to 8
So that I'd have
More room
So it would keep
More
So it had just
Rolled off
I guess
Actually it's not
A meg
It's 1,024
Characters
So
Let's see
Where was I
I am so
Still so bummed
I got another
Email from
Herbal Child
Who
We've known for a while
Actually I know
Herbal Child
So shout out
To him
Hey Stank
I was watching
The History Channel
Actually this is a good one
I like this one
Hey Stank
I was watching
The History Channel
Today
Or as we like to call it
The Hitler Channel
And I saw
I added that
Not him by the way
And I saw a show
About the history
Of booby trapping
It went from Vietnam
To present day
Kind of thing
But what interested me
Was near the end
They talked about
The new form
Of booby trapping
Viruses
They were interviewing
People from Symantec
And it was weird
That they were talking
About it in very
General terms
But then when they
But then they went
On to say
That Microsoft
Has a way to fight it
What they were saying
Was how
In Windows XP
Has activation codes
And what not
Wow what security
But it also said
That if your codes
Don't match your system
Or your OS
Will take a
Dump
We'll be polite
Well I haven't ever
Heard of this happening
Even in the most
Nubious people I know
And how would they
Know anyway
You think that info
Was transmitted
During error reports
I'm not sure
And would like
To possibly explore this
Okay herbal child
First of all
I don't know
I can't give you
A straight answer to this
Voodoo Hal
I don't think you could either
Can you
Actually
If I understood
The email correctly
Yeah
If
We had
A bunch of clients
Back in the day
Who actually used
The XP Home
And Windows
Would XP
I know
At least XP Home
If it wasn't
A pirated copy
Would actually
Force you to
Connect to Microsoft
To validate
Your registration codes
And if they weren't
Valid you had
Up to 30 days
Before the machine
Wouldn't boot
At least that's
What Microsoft warned
I've never seen
It actually happen
But you know
That's Microsoft
Saying you know
Whatever
But also Microsoft
Has a great way
To fight any virus
It's called
The blue screen of death
Well yeah
It can't run
It can't do anything
Yeah
Well I guess
That's true
Now I did
I had a machine
Where I basically
Swapped out the motherboard
You know
Basically put the hard drive
With everything installed
Into a new box
With new motherboard
And new processor memory
Yada yada yada
And it did come up
Saying that I had
Changed too many things
And
I didn't even want
To deal with it
What I did instead
Was I just installed
Linux on it anyway
So I mean
I avoided the problem
Completely
So I can't tell you
How far
What you have to do
To get it going again
Isn't that the answer
To every Microsoft problem
Install Linux
Yeah
Yeah pretty much
The
But you know
There is
The fact that
You know
This question
Comes up a lot
What information
Gets sent to Microsoft
And I don't think
Anyone can answer
That question
With 100% certainty
Conspiracy theorists
Have wondered
For the longest time
You can go out
To news groups
And tons of websites
Of people asking that
According to their
Disclaimers and stuff
On the Microsoft websites
And
You know
When a crash
An application crash
And it says
Do you want to
Transmit this
If you read it
It tells you
That it won't send
Personal information
You know
Do you believe that or not
When you go to
Windows Update
It claims that it's not
Uniquely identifying anything
But
It's all about
Whether you can
Believe it or not
I don't know
As much as I
You know
Joke about Microsoft
I think they're
At least smarter
Than that
If they're going to
Get their information
It would hopefully
Be from some
Other source
Then blatantly say
Yeah we're not going
To send your
Personal information
And then go ahead
And do it
But that's just me
Yeah well I mean
The danger of
I mean that's a huge
Even Microsoft
Is not that big
That they would take
That much of a risk
Right
I mean the class action
I mean they're
They're huge
They're on how many
I'm not even going
To go into
Statistics
On how many
Percentage of
Desktops
And blah blah blah
The class action
Lawsuit from
Something like that
Would destroy
Even Microsoft
Yeah that would be
Very nasty
Yeah well
Considering that
European Union
Lawsuit
Or not lawsuit
But are you
Real about that
I don't think so
The European Union
Is forcing them to
Pay like 600 million
Euros or something
Woo
Yeah it was
Massive
Wow no I did not
Hear that
We might have to
Look into that
And the other
Thing I was
Wondering is
You know recently
We talked about
On the show
And of course
Floating around
Was the leaked
Source code from
Microsoft
And I would also
Think that again
We don't know
What exactly was
Leaked or how much
Or what it was
You know which
Modules and stuff
But you would think
If somebody would
Have noticed something
In there it would
Have been brought up
Immediately or brought
To our attention by
Now too so we can
Assume that it's not
There or that part
Of the code wasn't
That which was
Released
So we don't
Know for certain
You know I guess
Like like you said
You just have to
Use your judgment
And I guess
Err in the side
Of caution
I don't send
Crash reports
To anybody
Legitimate or not
Even at work
You know which
Of course we have
Site license and
Everything's perfectly
Legal and of course
I am at home too
But I'm not sending
Any of that to them
Because I just
A it's not going to
Help
You know all you do
Is it says
Thank you for
Submitting this
We can't do jack
Shit about your
Computer
You know it should
Come up like you
Said and say
Please install
Linux
That's the only
You know that's
The only solution
Yeah it's worthless
Anyway as far as
Those error reports
But
I did some quick
Research and
It's 615 million
Dollars or
Approximately
500 million euros
And what was that
About again
Antitrust for the
European Union
Basically the same
Thing they went
Through with us
But apparently
They get screwed
No matter where
They go
Well hey
You do bad things
You have to pay
The consequences
Alright
I have one more
Email
Now this one's
Kind of long
And I've had a
Couple emails on
This topic as
Well but I'm
Going to choose
To read this one
On the show
Because this
Person was pretty
Animated about
The topic
And that's a
Topic that I was
Pretty animated
About on the show
Too and that is
The RFID tags
So this person
Sent me a long
Email and I'm
Going to go ahead
And read it
And I don't
Really know
There's a whole
Much a whole
Lot we can add
To it but
First of all
This was sent
With a real name
And of course
We don't read
That on the air
So a real name
Withheld
And he says
Well the subject
Line was
RFID tags
The mark of the
Beast
Which is kind of
Funny
And he says
Quote
As I frequently
Do I like to
Frequent Old Navy
And goodies for
My styling needs
A.K.A.
Soon to be
Dirty blue jeans
And old worn
Out shirts
This would not
Be a problem
Save for the fact
That I have to
Notify the cashier
Of where I live
To finalize the
Purchase
Which as an aside
That was one thing
That we've always
Hated about
Radio Shack
If you remember
Back in the day
We always hated
Having
They always would
Have to give them
Give them your
Name and address
And stuff like that
To check out
And they finally
Got rid of that
But apparently
Other places
Are doing it
So
Anyway
Back to the email
It is bad enough
That I have to do this
Just for something
Like a pair of pants
But as of 2005
Your favorite place
In mine
Wally World
A.K.A.
Walmart
Will have most
Of its suppliers
Incorporate RFID tags
In their merchandise
It is bad enough
I need a street address
To buy clothing
Which is undoubtedly
Being sold for green
To some illuminate
Like database somewhere
But in less than a year
I will be tracked
No matter what
The corporations say
That you will be able
To opt out of RFID
But
Like the spam
And junk mail
I received
Through cyberspace
In the real world
It is very iffy
At best
Which is true
You can opt out
Of those things
But it never works
So why should we feel
That the RFID
Opting out of that
Is going to be any different
And
Back on RFA
This is nothing new
RFA
I used to rant
And talk about this
A lot
You can probably
Go back to
Oldschoolfreak.com
And look through
Some of the archives
And the show notes
And get some more
Information on us
Talking about that
Walmart has been
On again
Off again
On again
Off again
With the RFID
And they're tiptoeing
Around it
Because they're scared
To offend their consumers
And violating privacy
And last I had heard
They were only going
To implement RFID
In their shipping
And
You know
Managing
Pallets of merchandise
And how much gets
Through the warehouse
And making sure
You know
To count stuff
Coming in and out
Of the warehouse properly
I didn't know
Or haven't heard anything
Since that they're going
Back to
Retail
And to customers
But
It is going to happen
At some point
It's inevitably
Going to happen
I suspect
It's just
How long
Is it going to take
Let's see
Where was I
Let's see
Very iffy at best
Okay he says
I do not wish
To be tracked
For just buying
A coke
Or even
The cheap
Sam's Choice
Soda
Which by the way
That is crap
Have you ever
Had that stuff
Yeah
Oh my god
That is just
Murder
Oh I can't
Stand that
Ugh
Gross
Even at half price
It's still a rip off
You can get them
Out in the machines
For a quarter
What does that tell you
Yeah right
And you can get
You know
The name brand stuff
For 50 cents
It's half price
And it still feels
Like a rip off
Two cans of crap
Is still not equivalent
To one can
Of something good
Of course
Some of that's bad too
But I digress
He goes on
When I go into
Walmart
I want to
Buy some stuff
Not give over
Everything about me
Such as my social security
Number for Radio Shack
Oh I just mentioned
That earlier
Whoops
Is this their way
Where am I at
Is this the way
Life should be
It is bad enough
That we are marked
Cattle at our jobs
Should that be extended
To my life
Outside my job
Should I have to
Give out blood sample
Just to buy a bag
Of cookies
Or a pack of smokes
I think not
Forget the corpopolitical
And I'm paraphrasing there
Because I'm trying
To cut back on
The mad language
Forget the corpopolitical
That want to track
Our votes
Or eating habits
I like that word
Corpopolitical
I like that word
That's a good word
That want to track
Our votes
Our eating habits
And even if we like
Single or double plied
When wiping our
Ah forget it
When wiping our asses
Forget the language
I'm going to go
With the language
Just fuck it
Go with it
Yeah I mean
I'm not doing justice
Editing his
I'm going to read
What he's got
Okay
And even if we like
Single or double fly
When wiping our asses
With everything so geared
To finding out
What I like
With everything so geared
To finding out
What I like
Just to find out
Which junk
To send in the mail
Why don't the corporate world
Ever do everyone a favor
And just tattoo us
With a barcode
From birth
Which has been done
In several movies
Do we need to really
Be tracked and branded
Like cattle
Just to make some
Company somewhere
That only purpose
Is to catalog my
Buying habits
And sell them
To the highest bidder
What if I buy
Maxi pads or something
What then
Well you'll get
Coupons in the mail
For maxi pads
I mean that's an easy answer
I mean come on
That's easy enough
You know
And I read this
I've gotten some
Other emails like this
But I wanted to read
This on the email
Because I haven't
Mentioned it
On the show
Because I haven't
Mentioned RFID
In a while
It hasn't gone away
It's not going away
I haven't had any
Specific stories
To bring up
That have really
Irked me
Because it's just
More of the same
So it's just
A wait and see
Pattern right now
See where it goes
But I still don't
Like the idea
Of RFID
Or the potential
Abuse of it
This is something
That definitely
Has to be
Watched carefully
By consumer
Advocate groups
And make sure
That you know
It isn't used
In ways like
We've talked about
And again
I'm not going
To rehash it
You can go back
And listen to
Previous episodes
Of Binary Revolution
Radio
Or Old School Freak
And listen to
Radio Freak America
Where we have
Beaten this to death
But there are
Genual concerns
Over it
The bottom line
Is you know
All you can do
Is we come on
The show
And we go on
Our sites
And we write
Articles
About the dangers
Of it
And people
Will either
Listen and get
The word out
And it will
Perpetuate and be
Spread
And we just
Keep an eye on it
And if it gets
Stopped
Great
If it gets
You know
If you stop it
Early
That's just
Honky dory
But it's going
To come back
It's going to
Be here
It's not going
Away like I said
And instead
Of being proactive
And this is the
Word I use on the
Show all the time
This is my pet
Peeve
So many things
If people were
Proactive about them
And nipped them
In the bud
Early
And go out
And stop
Something
Before it
Happens
Don't let
Don't react
Don't be
Reactive
People in
General are
Very apathetic
And they want
To wait
Until something's
Happened
And then act
Indignant
How dare
They take
My rights
Away by
Watching
Watching everything
I do
With RFID
Well guess
What
If you were
More educated
And more
Knowledgeable
Consumer
And citizen
Frankly
This is not
Not necessarily
Only consumerism
Citizen
You would know
When not only
This right
But any of
Your rights
Are being
Threatened
Or taken
Away from
And instead
Of coming
After the fact
And they're
Gone
And taken
Away from
You
And then you
Want to whine
And bitch
And moan
About it
Why don't
You keep
Ahead of
What's going
On in the
World
And open
Your eyes
And see
What they're
Trying to
Do to
You
And voice
Your opinions
Before they
Take your
Rights away
Ugh
Alright now
I'm worked
Up
Ugh
You're in a
Better mood
Yeah I guess
I am but
I'm in an
Angry mood
Now
Alright well
Anyway
Now see now
You had to
Bring me
Now you brought
Me back down
Man I'm so
Bummed
I hate
Hacking
And failing
Anyway that's
It for the
Mailbag
Unless you
Wanted to add
Something about
RFID
Um
Not really
Uh
What's
What I would
Add has already
Been said many
Times so
Yeah
Well let's go
Into the
If they don't
Try to implant
An RFID tag
In my ass
I'll be
Alright
Yeah but
What if you
Get 25 cents
Off fish sticks
For that though
Well in that
Case they can
Plug my ass
For RFID tags
I don't want to
See that in
Signatures anywhere
Thanks guys
Yeah maybe
Not only
Not only do
They put a
Barcode tattoo
Put it like
On our hand
Or something
Where we can
Scan it
Every time
Make it
Let's make it
Easy for them
You know
Cover my body
With a bunch
Of barcodes
And then when
I go into
The store
I can scan
The appropriate
Coupon code
From my body
Hang on my
Buy load tags
In my foot
Uh my
Wal-Mart tags
In my upper
Arm
Oh and that
Porn shop tag
Hang on guys
Yeah
You don't want
To see this
Close your eyes
All of a sudden
All cashiers
Must be 18 or
Older
And then you know
And then you're
Going to have people
Getting jacked up
In alleys
And getting their
Tags carved out
Of their bodies
And stuff
And talk about
What are those
Commercials which
By the way are
Great
The one where
They got a
The old guy
Sitting in a chair
But he's got a
Girl's voice
The identity theft
Oh yeah
Oh god those
Are great commercials
Like American Express
Yeah it's one of
Those cards
Those are great
Commercials
But man you think
Identity theft
Is a problem now
I just removed
His arm
Yeah right
Just walk in
Scan someone else's
Arm
Oh man
Or Forge
And you know
I wonder how
You know
Technology
I wonder what
Kind of security
They're going to
Put on it
And how easy
It would be to
Duplicate
Anyway
I'm not going
Into the future
This isn't
The Jetsons or
Anything
We'll see what
Happens
Show and tell
You were working
On the radio
Server
I don't know
How much detail
You want to
Go into that
Tell you what
Let me
I'll start off
And mention
That I was on
Default radio
This past week
With Decoder
In theory
Those guys over there
A marathon episode
I think we were
Like three hours
Maybe even more
Than that
But it was
Just an absolute
Blast
Decoder in general
Whether we're
Chatting on a
Conference line
Instant message
Or whatever
Just makes me
Laugh so bad
I just absolutely
Sometimes in tears
From laughing
He's such a
Funny person
So that was
Really fun being
On there
And maybe I'll
Do that more
Often if I can
So we had a
Live show
This past Friday
On DDP
Hack radio
Default Friday
And I've been
Reading some
Blacklisted magazine
I've done some
Reviews on past
Shows about
You know
Specific ones
I read like
Three of them
This week
And I'm not
Going to go
Into all the
Details
But you know
They all had
The same thing
In common
Advertisements
All over the
Freaking place
Tons and tons
Of ads
Whether they
Were classified
Ads
Or half page
Ads
Or full page
Ads for these
Companies
Lots of
Classified
Lots of
It was just
Tons and tons
Of ads
A couple articles
And then just
These lists
I don't know
What else to
Call them
But lists
And like
There was a
Continuation
Of abbreviations
Like the first
One I read
On the year
Last week
Was like
Starting with
All abbreviations
Or technical
For technical
Things
Starting with
A through
C
I mean
I don't know
Do people want
Ten pages of
Different abbreviations
And what they
Mean
I don't
Yeah
I don't quite
I just don't
Get that
And there's
Tons of lists
BBS listings
Which again
Back then
I understand
It's a different
Time
That could
Have been
Useful
But only
To the
People in
That area
And it's
Just
I don't
Know
Anyway
There was
Lists
And that's
Just a
Couple examples
There's all
Kinds of
Lists
Of lists
And I don't
Know
There was
A couple
Articles
Here and
There that
Were worthwhile
There was
Some
Amiga
Stuff
Which was
Hit and
Miss
Interesting
So I'm
Not going
To go into
Detail
About those
But I've
Been reading
Some of
Those
Lately
And that's
Been about
It for me
Besides my
Hack and
Fail
And I'm
Not going
To talk
About that
So
Oh I was
Right there
Too
It was like
You got the
Fish
You fought
With it
For a
Fucking
Day or
So
You got
It reeled
Into the
Boat
You put
The net
Out there
And bam
He jumps
Off the
Hook
And swims
Away
And it's
What a
Horrible
Feeling
Maybe people
Will know
One day
What we
Are talking
About
Yeah
Maybe
I haven't
Given up
I may
Still be
Able
To catch
This fish
I haven't
Given up
But it's
Looking grim
It's a
Big ocean
Out there
Anyway
How about
You why don't
You talk
About something
That
Something that
Didn't fail
I don't know
Maybe having
My article
Submitted
I mean
You had
To go
There
Oh man
Anyway
Yeah I guess
Just back to the
Hack radio
That's pretty much
All I've been
Doing that I
Can think of
Started a new
Job
Woo
Got to turn
It like
A lot of
You know
How that
Feels
We're going
To have to
Go into
Some detail
About that
Soon
When you're
More comfortable
With it
Yeah
And talk
About what
Kind of
Cool stuff
You're doing
Yeah that's
Definitely
We'll let you
Get settled
In before
We touch
On that
But the
Hack radio
Stuff is
Looking fantastic
We went
Into
We talked
For several
Hours
About that
Over the
Weekend
Going into
Some detail
Working out
Some logistics
And I think
That's going
To be
Very
Cool
And it's
It's forcing
The two of
Us to
Enhance our
Strengths in
The user
Interface
Department
The code
We don't have
A problem
With
The logistics
The designing
The database
The getting
It to work
The functionality
But
Boy
Getting it
User friendly
Exactly
Well like I
Said
You know
If you could
Just get rid
Of the users
The programmers
Life would be
You know
Heaven
Non-existent
Two at the
Same time
But
Well yeah
But
Yeah
Whatever
Exactly
Yeah
Hey whatever
Happened
Maybe I
Shouldn't
Damn I
Should have
Warned you
This question
Was coming
So
If you don't
Want to talk
About it
We won't
But whatever
Happened to
The DVD
Project
I'm still
Slowly
Working on it
Very slowly
It's just
Time
Really
I know
That's why
So I mean
We finally
Got the
Machines
Loaded
And everything
The way
We want
But I
Just haven't
Had time
To go back
And actually
Do it
And test
But hopefully
Soon you guys
Will get an update
On that
I miss them
Every day
Yeah well
With changing
Jobs that's
Just one more
Thing you know
That gets
Shuffled around
With you know
There's not
Enough hours
In the day
There really
Isn't
Well actually
Next week
I get to
Work two
Full time
Jobs
At the school
So I'm
Going to be
Doing something
For 101 hours
During that week
Sleep will not
Be one of them
I can say
No
Unfortunately
Well I tell you
What we'll give
You a break
Next week
We'll get
Someone else
On the show
And then you
Can come back
After that
And tell us
If you survived
Or not
We'll see if
You're still
Around
See if you
Implode or
Something
Or that
Or you might
Just go into
Hibernation
You might go to
Sleep and wake
Up three days
Later
You ever do
That
I've done
That before
I've been
So exhausted
That I like
Go to sleep
On a Friday
And I'll wake
Up and it's
Like Monday
All ready
To do it
Over again
I think it
Involves a couple
Choice drugs
Just kidding
Yeah
Just say no
Yeah exactly
Kid
Yeah
That's our story
Now we have
A topic
That I wanted
To talk about
And I kind of
Forced the issue
To talk about
This today
Even though
Frankly
I'm not very
Well versed
In it
And you and
I have kind of
Been talking about
It looking at
It together
So how do
You feel about
Explaining this
Or do you
Want to read
This first
Or should we
Well I guess
We can go for it
To all the listeners
It's more or less
An opinion of
What in the hell
Is
Yeah
Sure
Whatever
I'll tell you what
I'll read some of it
Parent sentences
Gotta remember how to do that
Yeah well I'll try to
Skim some of the
Important parts here
Throw some of the numbers
And then we'll talk about
The realism of it
The potential of it
And the way we
Understand it
And by all means
Somebody out there
May have more
Knowledge and experience
About it
And they can contact us
I would love to hear more
Some of the details
Because again
This is just an article
An announcement
Really more than anything
It does not go into
Tech details
And we're making
Presumption based on
What we read here
So
And this is actually
From NC State
North Carolina State
Scientists
They've come up
With a new
Internet protocol
Supposedly been
Working on for
About a year
If I remember
Reading correctly
And it's called
BICTCP
Or B-I-C-T-C-P
Which stands for
Binary Increase
Congestion
Transmission Control
Protocol
Now
They've been testing
And doing comparisons
Between that
And some other
Proposed protocols
And this one
Has been far and away
The highest
It has the best
Stability
Fairness
Scalability
Etc.
To other protocols
From
Everywhere from
California
To University of London
Lots of testing
They've been doing
All this
And it consistently
Scores well
And let's see
Dr.
I'm going to
I hope I don't
Butcher this guy's
Name because
This is really
A cool thing
If it could be
A cool breakthrough
Dr.
Injong
Ri
Associate
Professor of
Computer Science
Says
BIC
B-I-C
I'm going to
Call it
BIC
For the rest
Of the show
BIC can
Operate
Given the
Appropriate
Medium
At speeds
Approaching
10
Gigabits
Per second
Gigabits
Per second
Which is
Roughly
6,000
Times
That of
DSL
And 150,000
Times that
Of current
Modems
Which
You know
If we want
To compare
I mean
That's just
Staggering
6,000
Times
DSL
Is staggering
So
It says
This may
Eventually
Translate
Into music
Downloads
In the blink
Of an eye
The potential
Value
Of this
Protocol
Is a real
Eye opener
Now
It goes on
Into some
Detail
Of where
This was
Announced
Again
This is
Kind of
An announcement
It doesn't
Give us
A whole
Lot of
Detail
But
It talks
About how
They studied
And how
They came
Up with
This
And
Basically
They were
They analyzed
The current
Protocols
And found
The problem
That's inherent
With regular
TCP
The limitations
And I'm
Going to quote
Him here
It says
The current
Form of
TCP
Was originally
Designed
In the
1980s
When internet
Speeds
Were much
Slower
And bandwidths
Much
Smaller
He said
Now
We are
Trying to
Apply it
To networks
That have
Several orders
Of magnitude
More available
Bandwidth
Essentially
We're using
An eyedropper
To fill
A water
Main
BIC
On the other
Hand
Would open
The flood
Gate
So
They've been
Working
Over it
For the past
Year
And
Let's see
Maybe you can
Explain this
To the listeners
In a second
It says
That
The key
To
BIC's
Speed
Is that
It uses
A binary
Search
Approach
A fairly
Common way
To search
Databases
Which we were
Talking about
Before the show
That allows
For rapid
Detection
Of maximum
Network
Capacities
With minimal
Loss
Of information
And
They quote
Him
As saying
While
It may
Take
Classical
TCP
Two hours
To reach
The full
Capacity
Use
Of a
10
Gigabit
Per second
Pipe
With a
100
Millisecond
Round trip
Time
BIC
Needs
Only a
Few
Seconds
Reset
The greatest
Challenge
For the
New
Protocol
He added
Was to
Fill the
Pipe
Fast enough
Without
Starving
Out
Other
Protocols
Which is
Important
And he
Says
That is
A tough
Balance
So
Yeah
I guess
Filling the
Pipe
Is fine
But if
You take
Out
FTP
And everything
Else
If you
Take out
Every other
Protocol
I shouldn't
Say FTP
UDP
Stuff like
That
That's
A problem
As well
So
Again
We don't
Have too
Much
Detail
But
Based
On your
Knowledge
Of
Of this
Binary
Search
Approach
What do
You presume
They're talking
About here
Well
Like we
Were talking
About earlier
TCP
I don't
Know
Some of
You may
Know
TCP IP
But TCP
Is transport
Layer
Protocol
I really
Don't
Understand
Or at
Personally
I don't
Understand
How this
Would
In the
Context
Of transport
Layer
Protocol
How this
Would
Make
Any
Difference
It
Sounds
To me
Like
They're
Trying
To
Work
On
New
Types
Of
Routing
Protocol
A
Replacement
For
OSPF
BGP
Things
Like
That
Which
Those
Have
To
Deal
With
Finding
The
Fastest
Route
As
Quickly
As
Possible
Which
In
Most
Modern
Protocols
Or
Routing
Protocols
Propagation
Of
Route
Information
Is
What
The
Slowest
Part
Of
It
Is
To
That
To
Me
What
It
Sounds
Like
They're
Working
On
A
Way
To
Propagate
Or
At
Least
Get
This
Information
And
Have
It
Select
The
Sources
Faster
So
That
When
There's
A
Large
Amount
Of
Banwidth
Coming
Toward
Something
Or
I
Shouldn't
Say
Coming
Towards
Something
Like
A
Giant
Wave
But
You
Get
The
Point
That
It
Can
Be
Fast
Enough
To
Discern
The
Proper
Route
But, I mean, I may be completely off on this.
This is a very interesting little report.
Right, and that's really why I wanted to bring up,
just to at least make mention of it, because this could be huge.
I mean, this could be the thing that bridges.
I mean, if you look at that bandwidth that we talked about earlier,
let's see, what was back, 6,000 times DSL.
DSL and cable modems are already on the edge of making it possible to listen to streaming.
Obviously, streaming audio is not such a big deal, but streaming video.
Actually, I could tell a nice little story about that real quick on streaming video.
We actually offer it.
They offer, the company that I'm starting to work with offers TV over DSL.
Nice.
As a competition to cable.
Very interesting.
Is there really enough bandwidth to have high quality?
As far as I understand it, they have 10 megabits going to each house
that has a combination of DSL and TV.
And the way it works is that each encoder has its own IP address.
It's an internal IP address, although that would be really awesome if it wasn't.
But each one has an internal IP address, and the set-top boxes themselves, I guess,
query the channel information for the – or actually, I think they said they were all
thin clients.
It was really interesting.
Apparently, I think they said they're one of the only two places in the country that
offer it.
And it's really cool because they offer things like – a friend of mine was telling me
who also works there – they offer video on demand.
Rather than just being like regular pay-per-view, you order a movie, it starts every 30 minutes
or so.
You can pause it.
You can rewind it.
You can do whatever you want with it, which seems to be really cool.
Well, that – I really would like to hear some more detail on it, but that doesn't seem
–
I'll do some more later.
It's only one for a day, all right?
Yeah, that doesn't seem to – I mean, a DSL line's 1.5, and that's coming over copper.
So I don't know where the extra – you said it was 10.
There's got to be something more to the equation.
Right.
I'll find out.
Yeah, that could be – it's very interesting if they're trying something like that, but
I'd be skeptical of how effective that would be, at least with DSL.
They've actually got, you know, a couple thousand users using it, so –
So, obviously, it's working –
It's completely implemented and in place.
Hmm.
Well, since you're working there now, you should get free samples, right?
Actually, I think I'm supposed to, yeah.
All right.
So you can fill us in and let us know, be honest, and let's see if it gives you quality
and – like, what about as far as number of channels and stuff like that?
Is it just local, or is it like a – is it a true competition and has several channels,
you know?
They were showing me around into the server room and things like that, and it apparently
they have receivers like you would have for satellites.
So they have satellite receivers for each station, which feeds them to an encoder.
So it's limited to the number of – you have one encoder per channel.
And I want to say they have – I saw like 60 or 70 encoders.
Hmm.
So it's not a lot compared to something like, you know, DirecTV, where you have every channel
known to man.
Right, right.
But, you know, it's a viable option.
And it looks really – oh, and one of the coolest things – I thought this was really
fat – is they had a demo – I had to go fill out some paperwork, and they had a demo,
one of the demo TVs, you know, for the waiting customers.
Right.
And actually, if you have DSL, phone service, and TV, like when somebody calls in, the caller
ID information pops up on the TV.
Yeah, I think I've heard of devices that you can buy that will do that for you.
I thought that was actually kind of cool.
Yeah, that is – that's kind of neat.
What about video recorder, DVR?
That I don't know about, but I would assume – well, obviously it's –
Because you mentioned rewinding, and that's usually a feature because you have it stored
locally that you can rewind it.
Right.
I don't know for sure, but, I mean – well, no, I shouldn't say that.
I'll leave that alone.
I don't know for sure.
Yeah, well, again, we'll get more information hopefully soon as you get more acclimated here.
Man, you're going to have a rough couple of weeks, too.
Working two full-time and going to school, man.
It's – whoo, that's rough.
Yeah.
Hopefully this semester will be over soon.
That's going to be rough, rough, rough, rough, rough.
All right.
Let's see.
What are we time here?
We've got a little time, and I've got a couple other smaller things I want to ease out on here.
I really wish we had a little bit more technical information on that,
and I'm going to research that for upcoming episodes,
see if I can find out a little bit more detail of how that works
and what the underlying technology is and see if I can come up with some explanations for it.
But very, very cool if that actually takes place.
And it seems like that's only come up in about a year of research.
I mean, that's pretty amazing.
I mean, again, I love the fact that there are universities out there
that are still doing research to try to push technology ahead.
I mean, TCP has been around for a long time.
Yes, it works.
Yeah, it still works.
It still gets the job done,
and we're tweaking and squeezing every last little drop of efficiency out of it.
But that's no reason to stop development and looking forward towards the future, you know.
So I'm very cool that there are universities doing studies like this.
So NC State, I'll include those.
That's part of my shout-outs to NC State and to their computer science department for doing this kind of research.
Now, this one actually surprised.
I don't know how this snuck up on me, this topic.
Our good friends at Walmart.com.
This is a little Project Walmart Freedom News, I guess.
I wish Duel was here to yell at this one and go off about this one.
But Walmart.com, apparently, I completely missed.
Did you know this, by the way, before I go into it?
Did you know that they started doing this?
Yeah, I had been looking at it about a month ago.
Yeah, I had no idea.
It completely snuck up on me.
But they are now offering music downloads like iTunes.
They're competing with iTunes and those types.
88 cents.
For 88 cents.
They're undercutting iTunes 99 cents with their 88.
They're, you know, Walmart low prices every day, whatever the hell their slogans are nowadays.
They're undercutting them.
For 88 cents, you can download music tracks and have legal right to the digital version of whatever song you want.
Or full albums they even have for sale, I look there.
And I went and checked this out.
And they also do, like, Netflix, which is where you pay a monthly fee and you can rent all the DVDs you want.
And you mail them back.
Apparently, they've knocked that off, too.
They're doing a similar thing.
You can rent DVDs from them.
I never saw or heard anything about this.
It completely snuck up on me.
I'm sure Duel probably knew about it, like I said.
But that completely blew me away.
So we've got to do some research on that.
I'm not signing up for it, but somebody will.
We'll get Duel to do it.
He's like Mikey.
He'll try anything.
They have, like I said, I didn't try it.
I'm not going to try it.
But they're going to use, I'm assuming, see, I don't ever remember there ever being a digital copyright scheme that actually worked.
Everything that I've seen proposed and put out there was all busted.
Some super easily, and we've talked about in the past.
But apparently, they are trying this again.
And they're putting limits, which I assume is in some sort of digital watermark or something, some sort of copyright scheme, that allows you, according to this, this is Walmart.
Now, I assume iTunes is something similar.
But Walmart allows you to do three things.
It's got to download music to one computer and to back it up to two additional computers.
Now, I don't know how in the world they count or know how many computers you've backed it up to or whatever, unless they're somehow communicating with each other.
I mean, can you figure, I don't know how that one could be.
Not really big on the DRM.
That's not, yeah.
The second thing is it'll let you make ten burns to a CD.
I don't see why you have any limit, but ten seems like it's more than enough.
I mean, if I ever burn, I'm burning one or two, you know.
And three, to make unlimited transfers to portable players.
Well, that's, you know, that's what the majority of people are going to do with it, I would think.
Put it on their iPods or their whatever so they can go jogging so they can listen to it when they're on the bus, whatever.
I'm not sure about this.
What happens if I burn it to a CD and then take it to work and put it on the computer from the CD?
Or can I not extrude?
See, I've got to try this to know the details of it.
If anybody has tried it, by all means, email us radio at binrev.com if you've tried this and let us know.
I do know that by reading about it, doing a little bit of research, I know that, first of all,
so Microsoft Windows only requires Microsoft Media Player 9.
And for those of you who know, 9 is when they really started going heavy on the digital rights management,
the DRM, Voodoo Howe was mentioning.
And I have not upgraded to Media Player 9.
I knew they were putting that crap in there, so I purposely have not upgraded to it yet.
So I'm still using, I guess, 7, really, because I don't think I've updated in a while.
Always use the older versions unless you have a reason to upgrade to these new ones.
At work, I upgraded it because I think some website I went to required it, and I wanted to watch the video,
so, and who cares, it's a work computer, big deal.
But these downloaded songs are not MP3 format, they're WMA.
Yeah, they're Microsoft's Windows Media Author, is that what, Audio or something, is that what it stands for?
I think so.
It's their proprietary Microsoft format, it's not MP3, you can't get AugVorbis out of it,
it's Microsoft-only format.
So if you've got a CD deck in your car or something that only supports MP3, you're screwed.
You know, which I think really sucks.
This is something that you just can't, simply can't use.
So, that's a little lame, but I guess they're not aiming at people who want to do that,
they're aiming at, well, they're aiming at Walmart customers, frankly.
I'll just let you read into that what you want to.
I'll leave that statement alone.
Exactly, I'll let you read whatever you want to read into that.
They're aiming at the people who buy, you know, white-tail hunting, deer hunting, fishing, you know.
Oh, those are the best games, man, come on.
Now, don't knock the fishing, I'm down with the fishing.
But the whole, yeah, anyway.
The game, why would you want to play a fishing game when you could go out and fish?
That's the thing I've never figured out.
Well, if you're a geek like me, the sun is a problem.
Yeah, boy, I could give you a story.
I'm actually suffering from a little sunburn right now.
Spent the weekend down at the Haitian Swap Shop, got a little footage I might share with the audience soon.
Yeah, how's that for a teaser?
Now, here's the questions I have about this, too.
First of all, is it going to be interchangeable with other types, like iTunes, for example?
Can I combine all of these into one application and have them mixed and matched and stuff like that?
And mix them with, what if I actually own an audio CD and I want to rip it to put it to my portable device, my iPod, my portable player, something like that.
Can I mix and match these with no problems?
Is it going to give me all kinds of errors and it doesn't know what's legal and what's not or what it thinks is copyrighted and what it doesn't know is copyrighted?
You know, that's a concern.
You know, I don't know how they're going to handle that or if that's going to be a problem or not.
Maybe they have, I don't know.
And frankly, because it's Walmart, can I get the full, original, unedited version of a song?
You know, are they going to give me the edited where they take out the bad words?
Because that's what they do with the CDs.
Oh, Lord, no, please.
They've got to, I'm certain they must do it.
I mean, you're going to get controversial songs.
You're going to find Cop Killer at Walmart.
You know, are you going to find, are you going to find Madonna in their, what was it, I don't know what her latest controversial song is.
Are you going to find this stuff from Walmart.com or are they going to play or are they going to do the editing thing?
And I, I presume they're going to edit.
I'm sure, why would they do anything different on the internet than they're doing in the stores?
And, you know, again, what the, who's going to do that?
Who, I don't know.
Anyway.
And then what it breaks down to, I was looking at one earlier and I think it was about ten bucks to download the whole CD.
Well, frankly, you can go to Walmart and buy the CDs, most of the cheap CDs, mass marketed crap for around ten, twelve bucks.
I don't mind paying a couple extra bucks for the, have the liner and stuff like that in that.
Right.
You know.
Of course, I'm not paying that much for a CD anyway, but I'm just saying.
So, and of course the last word on this is, after reading through their instructions and the how it works pages and stuff,
this is my favorite part of the whole thing.
It says, quote, note, music downloads from Walmart.com will not play on the Apple, Macintosh, or Linux operating systems.
Yeah, that's one of the problems I ran into, and I kind of, because I brought Blandon to, I remember,
talking him into trying out iTunes.
Yeah, anything you download off iTunes, you also can't take around Linux.
There's nothing on Linux that'll play it.
Windows will at least play it, but that's only through the Windows iTunes client.
Oh, see, that's, that's just weird.
I have a pet peeve about that as well.
You know that whole Pepsi, iTunes thing, right?
Right.
And I had to have bought like 30 Pepsis.
I think we won like 20 songs.
I think my kidneys fell, started failing before I decided to give it, call it quits.
Right.
Anyway, I ended up having to format and forgot to back up those AAC files, those, yeah, the downloads.
Is that what they are, AAC files?
Yeah.
There is no way to recover them, apparently.
Apparently, Apple says, well, okay, what you do with them is what you do with them.
I mean, obviously, I have a record of me purchasing them.
All right, so you can't go back and re-download it?
Exactly, but they won't let you, or at least I can't find them anywhere, and if anyone knows
of us in an easy way, you know, definitely email me at voodoohouseinrev.com.
I would love to know, because I'd like to get my damn things back.
Yeah, that's, that's lame.
Is that just because of the Pepsi ones?
Because the Pepsi free iTunes ones you got, or is that for all of the other iTunes stuff?
See, honestly, I had MP3s that are songs that I had purchased myself as well, so.
You know, that's apparently anything.
Hmm, now that's not cool at all.
Can you demand your money back?
I guess not on a free thing, huh?
Nah.
All right, well, we are running low.
I got one funny little story here that, because I always bitch about how Japan gets cool phones
and stuff, and they take a year or longer before they ever come here.
Actually, it's getting longer and longer.
Instead of shorter time for us to catch up, it's becoming, you know, two years before we
see the cool phones here.
And cell phones are so popular in Japan, this is just a funny story to end with.
The big trend going on over there right now is cell phone cases that are waterproof, that
you can put your cell phone inside of it and put it in the shower with you so that you can
talk on your cell phone in the shower in the morning.
There's, they have, there's so, everyone over there uses their cell phones so much more
than us, and they're so much more popular and in use over there that they actually have
a need for a device like this, first of all.
You know, first of all, that's amazing that they actually, they actually have this great
tool and they use it every day.
Now, maybe it's crossing a line using it in the shower, I don't know, and there's probably
a prawn joke there, a phone sex joke somewhere that I'm not even going to go, I'm not going
to touch.
I'll just leave that one alone.
But we can't even get good phones, like I said.
We can't even get good phones over here in a reasonable amount of time compared to what
they get.
So, that sucks.
Period.
That just, that sucks.
And, of course, we can't, you know, it's not like a, you can order a region, other region
DVDs or other electronics from other countries and stuff like that because they're using different
technology that wouldn't work over here anyway.
Even if you did order it and have it shipped from overseas, you know, global economy and
all, we don't have the technology.
We can't make it work over here.
So, come on, people, catch up.
Catch up, United States.
Somebody pay attention, damn.
Talking out of my ass here, nobody's listening.
Ah, speaking of talking out of my ass, that's for a segue.
Let's close up the show.
Alright.
Oh, man, I'm sorry I was so bummed, but damn it, I'm so mad at myself.
I had this whole nice thing all typed up.
I had the article ready to go, big breakthrough announcement and, oh, and I don't know, I
don't think it works, damn it, after all.
It looked like it worked, and we tested it, didn't we?
Alright, shout out.
I got a lot of shout outs.
I got a few shout outs, so why don't you go first?
You got any shout outs you want to give?
Big shout outs to Hack and Slash, welcome aboard.
We always need slaves.
I mean, welcome aboard.
Yep.
And dude, the Photoshop thread in the forums is hilarious.
I forgot, can I do a quick announcement?
Absolutely.
I have, a friend of mine and I have been talking about this for a while.
Some of you have seen Travelocity's new ads with the gnome, the traveling, the roaming
gnome.
Right.
I don't know if you've seen it.
Anyway, we were sitting around one night, and we had this great idea to create a site
called DarkSideGnome.com, and take the little gnome, the same gnome from the pictures,
and we wanted to actually take him to like strip clubs and things, and have pictures of
them with strippers, and have them with big beer bottles, but unfortunately I don't think
we're going to be able to do it, so I'm going to need some people who are decent with GIMP
to help us out if you want to help with the little project.
It's nothing special, but it's just something we're bored and want to do.
This is just a for fun thing.
What is it called again?
DarkSideGnome.com, and hopefully we'll be registering that in the next couple of days.
You better register it before this airs.
And, oh, Sonic buys it.
Well, kick your ass.
I'll kick you in the nuts.
I'll sick stank on you.
Yeah, I'll kick you in the nuts.
Respect my authority.
I'm sorry, that's my cart, and that's as good as it gets.
But yeah, it's just one of those for fun projects, but it was just one of those things that came
about, and it was actually really funny when we were thinking about it.
Just all the really bad pictures, like Whitesword and his porn shop, if we could get some pictures
of the gnome with the giant.
Were you drunk when you came up with this idea?
Do what?
I said, were you drunk when you came up with this idea?
Completely sober, sadly enough.
Oh, man.
Sadly enough is right.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, shouts to Hack and Slash.
I second that on the show last week.
All-time high ratings.
So, Hack and Slash is the man.
The Mac Daddy.
And now, officially, the youngest member of DDP.
Wow.
You got anything else?
No, that's it for me.
All right.
I'm going to shout out, I mentioned it earlier, but I'll give a shout out to Decoder for having
me on Default Radio.
Lots and lots of fun.
Always makes me laugh.
That was a blast.
I want to try to do that more often if he would have me on the show.
Him and In Theory have to do such, it's such a fun show.
So, and to Jason Scott over at textfiles.com for, he's working on a BBS documentary.
So, and it's actually at bbsdocumentary.com.
There's a plug.
Go check that out.
So, and it's, he's got a lot of great footage, good quality, and it looks like it's very well
put together.
He's doing a great job on that.
So, shouts to him.
And, um, email us again, radio at binrev.com if you have anything to add to anything, or
corrections, or rants, or death threats, whatever.
Send them to radio at binrev.com.
Um, again, I'm going to remind people, send articles for Binary Revolution 2.2, articles
at binrev.com.
It is time, it is long overtime, if you want to get in, and, frankly, if you want to keep
the magazine going, we need submissions.
We need good submissions.
So, we've only gotten a few submissions that are even worthwhile, and then some idiot goes
and forwards 1 to 2,600.
Damn fool.
I know.
What the hell was he thinking?
So, um, hopefully that was, oh, what an idiot I am.
Boy, I'm just having a bad week.
I'm just having such a bad week.
Uh, closing music tonight is from Tree Wave, which actually is used in that, uh, BBS documentary
from Jason Scott.
Uh, and it's called May Banners, and I heard that, thought it was pretty cool, so I'm going
to close out the show with that.
And, I think that is going to do it.
So, Voodoo Howell, thank you again for being on the show.
It's got the module finished, and RFA is now in the playlist.
Oh, you did that while we were recording?
Yeah.
See, now that is multitasking.
See, that is, that's, uh, uh, uh, what is it called?
Uh, dual processing at its finest there.
So, yeah, we'll wrap it up.
Uh, hopefully I'll be a little bit more upbeat next time.
See, now, if actually I pull this out of the fire, and I actually figure out that I can
get this hack to work after all, then I'm going to be elated on the next episode.
I'm just going to be, I'm going to be double my normal self next episode.
Or I might just be even more unbearable than usual.
But, if you want to find out, you'll have to tune in next week.
Same hack time.
Same hack channel.
Peace.
We'll be right back.
