Linux.fm – Broadcasting the Linux kernel, one source file at a time

• tonymillion 12y ago
  This only makes sense if they were to "broadcast" it using Frequency-shift keying (the kind used in your 2400baud modem). So should the zombie apocalypse come we can actually reconstruct the Linux kernel. Cos you know, thats important and stuff.

  I imagine this is what Commander Data would listen to when he has to take the subway.

    At 2,450,000 wpm.

  If someone only hacked on this to automagically add sweet drum and bass riffs this could be the geek's answer to rap music. I am half joking, half serious.

    I much prefer the vintage sound of raw source code.

      Definitely. It'd be cool if someone could get the text-to-speech synthesizer to follow a single BPM and time signature. Then throw some drum loops and ambient sounds over that that would switch up every file.

  this looks like an elaborate promotion page for Echo JS

  Reminds me of the ending of Antitrust (2001 movie), though they broadcasted the full source code in video: * Video snip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtZEstimrfA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtZEstimrfA (3:16) * IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218817/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218817/ (6.1 stars) * the triva section mentions Miguel de Icaza (creator of GNOME, Mono) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218817/trivia http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218817/trivia and one can see various real source code and Linux desktop and command line in the movie

  By contrast, doing something similar with the NT kernel would probably end up something like Videodrome.

  I found it a little amusing that a text-to-speech engine managed to pronounce "asm" the same way I do.
