Streaming RealAudio From a Commodore 64

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the you'll-be-stone-dead-in-a-moment dept.

An anonymous reader submits: "This just came in on comp.sys.cbm and I think it will be of general interest here at Slashdot as well. Two Commodore hackers, Adam Dunkels and Peter Eliasson, have built an Ethernet card for their C64 and have connected one to the Internet. But they aren't 'just' running a TCP/IP stack and a web server on it - they are also running a RealAudio server which streams audio from the C64's cassette player and apparently, it sounds awful! They have the full source code avaliable and pictures of the C64 server."

    'commie' = commodore, not communist.

    idiot moderator that moderated the above as a 'troll' should be hanged from his toes.

    Every time I hear about something like this, I can't help thinking that these people are wasting their ingenuity on something completly worthless.
    If they brought that ingenuity to doing something worthwhile, who knows what they could do...

    Don't goto their website, they'll go on IRC and steal your credit card data. While they are at it, they'll nuke your HDD, and smack you like a wet rag.
