| Microsoft has Black Helicopters! |

And it hides them in your computer!
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) mirell did something very strange and geeky over here and piped his hard drive to his sound card. This got me thinking. Do different filsystems have different kinds of sounds? Can you tell what type of partition you have by listening to it? So I did an experiment.
Linux filesystems tend to have typical "data" sounds -- the kind of thing you would expect to hear from a modem. Windows filesystems, on the other hand, have instantly recognisable audio signatures. NTFS sounds like a helicopter. You've heard about Black Helicopters and now you can hear them in their secret base on your hard drive! More proof that Microsoft is planning world domination. FAT32, on the other hand, contains a warning siren for something. Perhaps it's a filesystem corruption alarm? Perhaps it's the scramble alert for the NTFS Black Helicopters? Only Bill knows for sure.
And that's my quota of weirdness for the day. And it's particularly weird today. Weird enough to elicit the following exchange with one of the weirdest people I know:
10:43 <@chalain> jerith, you are a straaange little monkey.
10:43 <@jerith> ...
10:43 <@chalain> ...and you need to teach me how to do this weirdness at some point. :-)
10:43 <@jerith> Coming from Chalain, that's *really* something. |
