At least this one is funny.

The only thing I find myself using my printer for these days is the occasional Rasterbator picture. Everything else is purely electronic.

Yep,..

I think gamers have gotten tired of THE SAME puzzles served up with a thousand different faces on them. (I loved Weltris with a passion that still makes me giddy) Portal has proven that, and Bioshock to a lesser extent (sometimes old puzzles are fine if you're not spending hours on them) There's a huge following of puzzle games in the "in a window" gaming community. Games like Desktop Tower Defense, Spaced Penguin (one of my favs), and most of the games at Homokaasu are puzzle games that are different enough to get you hooked and hard.

Or you can combine traditional artwork but redone in a "geeky" way. Take something famous and recognizable and Rasterbate it.

I was always a fan ofThe Rasterbator, maybe it's becuase of the name.

If you feel you need to let some steam out, you should sign up for 'The Kill Everyone Project' http://homokaasu.org/killeveryone/

1. Rasterbate an image over a large wall or ceiling.
2. Get a cheap fog machine, which heats the fog juice so it tends to fill the whole room, not just the floor. Then build a cooler system for it to chill the fog down and keep it on the floor. Plans abound...
3. Create spooky mixes for an iPod or laptop that involve lots of silence. Put them with mini speakers locked under the bathroom sink, or behind closed closets to periodically make creepy sounds. Having a sound go off 15 seconds after someone enters a bathroom often results in a very satisfying scream for those waiting to use it. You can also use any other sensor to set off the sounds rather than just looping them with silence between.
4. We had a collection of old black and white horror movie clips running without sound on a TV in a corner.
5. I've been wanting to have a webcam snap X seconds of video every Y minutes to provide a semi-stop-action recording of the party for later (X an Y still TBD). I've done this at other events and they can be a blast to review later. In my case a Mac is the only machine available for this and I'm a PC guy so I need to figure out what software or scripting can make that happen with an iSight. It was also suggested that the image from the webcam could be displayed on a screen in another area so that, for example, people in the back yard could see what's happening on the dance floor.
6. Webcams can also be used as motion detectors to trigger computerized events such as sounds.

Great view, think I'm going to rasterbate it and hang it up. But does anyone else think some of the rock protrusions look a little TOO square? I always thought eons of erosion would leave the rocks a little more rounded...oh well

Try here...OK, OK, I tried. Don't kill me ov

Um. You're trying to draw inferences based on the similarity between the title of a Beatles song and the name of a character that the actor played nearly two decades ago? Why not just plug lines into the Gematriculator?

All over the world, we Rasterbate obscene images.

Need I say more?

Find a good pic of your favorite landscape and Rasterbate it. (http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/)

upload your pic, select the amount of sheets you want it printed on and out comes a freshly minted PDF already to print. [gallery]

here you go. "The Rasterbator is a web service which creates huge, rasterized images from any picture. The rasterized images can be printed and assembled into extremely cool looking posters up to 20 meters in size."

So now that we finally DO get all the fun, what were the first few sites you went to to actually experience our newly acquired proper flash abilities on Linux? First two sites that I hit were Ninjai and The Rasterbator.

You can print it yourself with the Rasterbator

more or less as big as you like, just grap a good image to work from and off you go

enjoy

I used Ethereal back when I was playing with Try2Hack and discovered what information was being sent for The Kill Everyone Project. I then fired up my custom "hacker" program and proceeded to destroy the world approximatly five times per packet.

After crashing the high score page from an integer overflow caused by my rediculously high score, I decided that maybe I should stop.

So after beating the internet, what purpose does a book on Ethereal serve?

What would actually be handy is a browser that you can tell to "step" through message transmissions. The owner of the "Kill Everyone Project" challenged me to hack his other games after I e-mailed him to explain what I did and how he could fix it. The only reason I couldn't do it was because after some cookie passing with my program I couldn't quite get the SWF file with the session ID. With a real browser with "step" it would be possible to let it load up the game session like normal but then set it to "step" mode and be able to edit packets before they go to the server.

I don't imagine it would be too terribly difficult to add such a feature to Mozilla. It would be nice to have a text window that shows what data is actually being sent up to the server with the option to have to manually okay each packet so you could edit out any info you'd rather the server didn't have.

Like when certain Javascript pages try to grab system information.

Yes, please do help.

I'll bet we could kill every single person on the face of the earth in, say, six months tops.

Been there, done that.

This is great, but it's even more addictive than the Kill Everyone Project. Though arguably not as worthwhile.

At least keystrokes are sometimes productive. Check out The Kill Everyone Project for a truly pointless exercise in mouse-click-counting. I used to be in the top 100, before those were all in the millions.

I think it's just what you're looking for :)

It's a spoof btw. Damn creepy if you ask me.

With the current population 5,995,544,836

I don't know where you got that number. It must be way outdated. Don't you remember a couple years back when there was the whole 6 billion celebration? The Kill everyone project puts the population at just over 6.2 billion. That means barely 8% of the world uses the internet - a far cry from 10%. 8% is not very much at all.
