Beer-Coated CDs are Optical Biocomputers
commodoresloat writes "A DJ and scientist in Melbourne whose research is in the area of communication through biological cells, serendipitously created an 'optical biocomputer' when he spilled beer on his CDs and left them over night. The resulting fungus that formed distorted the sound of the CDs in interesting and meaningful ways. Here's some of his research, and some media samples which include mp3s of the distorted music." Yes, the term biocomputer is used in the loosest sense.
There's an article on Cnet about this, too.
Look I spilled some beer on my CD's and now they sound different so I have discovered a biocomputer and I'm a rocket scientist.
Newsflash you are a waster who is too lazy to clean up after himself. Its not a bio computer, its interference. Go but yourself a mixing deck if you want your CD's to sound different.

Maybe eventually Slashdot will get some mods who care again (Hemos and Taco used to, I think they burnt out at some point)
There are 4 boxes to use in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, ammo. Use in that order. Starting now.
Nerd: Derogatory term typically directed at anybody with a lower Slashdot ID than you.
Imagine a Beowulf Cluster made out of beer-spilled AOL CDs...
You fucking prick. This has nothing whatsoever to do with the RIAA. Your attempt at humour is pitiful and annoying.
In short, fuck off and die.
