Archimedes was born almost a century (97 yrs.) before Aristotle. He helped defend Syracuse from naval assault by designing crude parabolic mirrors to burn sails and winch-driven cranes to pick up ships and drop ‘em onto rocks. If that doesn’t qualify him as a 1337 h4x0r, I dunno what does…

I’m a compulsive downloader so my music tastes have a favorite from pretty much every genre I’ve been exposed to, rockabilly (mike ness), psychobilly (nekromantics), ska (1st wave toots and the maytals and second wave slackers not so much a fan of the third wave), crustpunk (leftover crack), metal (3 inches of blood), pop (maddona), blues (lee perry), nerdcore (mc chris, atom and his package), hardcore (stretch arm strong), country (johnny cash, roger miller, roy orbison), techno (chemical brothers), pop-punk (the queers), homo-core (pansy division), rock-and-roll (turbonegro)…and on and on I’m to lazy to keep going

Holy Crap! That “Lockpicking Jazz” was not hyped the way it should be! The link labeled: Physical Security Workshop at 21C3 in Berlin 2004 104 minutes, Windows Media
has a new lockpicking technique that any idiot can master, and open even the most difficult locks!
It’s called “bumping”…VERY cool stuff.

True metal: death metal (but not melodeath), black metal (but not symphonic), thrash metal, viking metal, doom metal, power metal, and traditional/heavy metal. No goth, nu-”metal”, “metal”core, or any genre with “core” in the name.

Diogenes was the first hacker. Watch the rest of the series and you will see him.

Diogenes was anti-social, unmannered, and lived in a fakin wine barrel. That is hacker. He modded a wine barrel into a home. Dude.

Aristotle is more of an apple man I believe, where Diogenes is linux because he is what’s best for society, and no one knows it but him.

I listen to glinkies, post boredom, manta x, and swine.

None of those bands exist, but it doesn’t matter because nobody cares what other people listen to anyway, does it?

Make with the hack, and sh*tcan the yak.

What music do I like? Well, I started an mp3blog to answer just that question!

http://apfrod.com/ken

This saves me having to actually sum up. If you want to just browse a list of recent tracks posted, use http://hype.non-standard.net/list/85 but be aware that only the ten most recent mp3s will still be up.

Music: Hardcore is my favorite (zao, soul embraced etc) i listen to DI.fm a lot when doing tedious stuff and my fiancee has gotten me back into classic rock and 80′s music.

I’ve been trying to get my friends with iPods to install podzilla on them, but they’re afraid of power or something. If only there were some hacks for my iAudio player.

On music, I like the electronica, specifically trance, and more specifically progressive and melodic trance (most of Paul van Dyke, Tiesto, NuNRG, ATB, and a bunch of other stuff). Indie rock can also be good, as in the case of The Postal Service.

That band that used the dot matrix printer for an instrument was kinda cool.

Lessee… I have a lot of NIN, but not their new CD. Foo Fighters are good. Dirty Vegas is alright sometimes. Radiohead’s cool. I got other stuff too, but it’s just the normal “punk rock”/pop-rock/alternative stuff.

Also, Johnny Cash was good, even though most country isn’t I think (It doesn’t feel at all imaginative to me–I mean, 19th century sentimental songs probably took more brain cells to write). Then again, I’d probably put Cash in the rock column as much as the country one.
