Episode 1047
March 16, 2010 Another Rerun
Dick is impressed that Leo has decent gadgets 2 weeks in a row. Dick likes it, and he should. Leo was talking yesterday about doing reruns on TWiTLive. True to his word, he’s doing a rerun, of Episode 178, when Dick talked about the CarMD, back in October 2006. Naturally neither of them remembers it.
More Lost Letters Jingles
Dan Lueders has found more “lost” letters jingles from his archives. They include Bing, 60’s, and Chant (reminiscent of This Week In Google’s Googorian Chant, by DGW weekend themes writer Rob Houghton – check out TWiG Episode 32).
A Trojan Horse
Opher Banarie refers to a security alert by security researchers that a trojan has got into the Energizer Duo (Episode 506) software. Beware of gift-bearing monkeys!
Kibibyte
Long-time listener and FLOSS Weekly host Randal Schwartz writes in about DGW’s Kilosode (Episode 1024), in which Leo talked about the ambiguity of prefixes like kilo, mega and giga in computer and tech contexts. Randal points out that there is a solution, though not yet widely adopted, of using kibi, mebi, gibi and so on for binary usage. You can check out the terminology on Wikipedia. Yeah right, and this one would be our Nodcast, quips Dick.
