I dunno, I'm not sure I'd trust any sort of electronic hacking procedure from anyone who's a bit shaky on the grammar of the procedure terms themselves.

Tell you what, ring me again when a piece of software composes something simple that "moves" me.
I've listened to the example tracks and they made me feel nothing, they go nowhere, they have no story, no soul.
Here's a popular track as comparison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XzoA94Zws
That's a relatively simple piece, well executed. Good luck with your algorithms.
I made a pretty darn good rng a while ago. Simply have three independent white noise generators made with two transistors and an op-amp each. The noise is generated by a transistor going into avalanche mode, and that's basically influenced by quantum states. The problem with using just one is that its output isn't 50/50. So you XOR two. You can stop there but if you're really paranoid, use a third to clock a latch so you can't event predict when the random bit changes. All in all the whole circuit fit in a box smaller about 2" x 3" x 1".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diehard_tests were quite happy with the output.

It's running Android, not windows, so it's got plenty of memory.
Watch the video demo. There's a good 200+ms delay from the laptop to the HDTV. Reminds me of [Remote Play] on PSP+PS3. It's nice to watch movies but unusable for anything interactive.
You'll be cursing a lot if you ever try to use a mouse with this setup.
Not good enough, sorry, try again.
Off-topically I have to say that "Shachar Shemesh" totally rolls off the tongue.
Think of it as a Kindle with:
Color
Openness
WiFi instead of Cell
... and no battery life to speak of.
Little nit-pick: The guy in the vid says that the tones are interrupted to represent data. This is wrong, the tone actually switches frequency. It's called Frequency Shift Keying.
Just goes to show ya that MIT guys will crack a nut using a bulldozer. There's plenty of dedicated level-meter chips around which cost next to nothing and provide a better, logarithmic response, which is what you want for sound.
The LM3915 is an oldie but a goodie, you can even daisy-chain them.
I stopped reading at "...I don't think its to bad." (second paragraph.)
I'm sorry, but I can't possibly trust the opinion of a reviewer who can't write.
Considering that I calculated 27 years of error-free continuous writes, I decided that a bit of swapping was fine. Heck, I was more concerned by atime originally.
It's working fine. What throughput speed I lost is countered by zero random access times, so it's pretty zippy.
I've been running my home desktop/server (Linux 2.6) on a Sandisk Cruzer 8GB usb stick (root, swap, tmp, everything except large media files) for a year and four months without any glitches. I've napkin-calculated that at current usage and wear levelling, I should be able to use it for over 50 years without a failure. Funnily enough, the portable USB drive that I use to back it up failed last December. I keep multiple backups, I didn't flinch.
Then again some flash devices fail miserably and silently. I've had a few 64MB and 128MB stick batches with stuck bits, and those were practically new. The operating systems they were used on didn't detect the errors, I did, by trying to open garbled files.
My wish list: A SATA gizmo that has 4-5 USB connectors with each their own bus that presents itself to the SATA bus as a single drive, and does RAID-5 automatically. That'd be sweet.
I've run out of fingers and toes trying to count the number of inefficient perl scripts I've replaced with much faster and simpler shell scripts. Bad code can be written in any language.
Well, he freed us from spam three years ago, so he's probably our best hope against malaria.
...Just encrypt all information on any device and computer and give the boss the password on a piece of paper...
And he'll promptly stuff that piece of paper in his laptop bag only to be stolen at the next airport.
