How do people keep coming up with this stuff (mspaint as an audio track).

  • [アーティクル]

The imagination of people on the internet continues to astound me.

Todays example: Someone took mspaint.exe and turned it into a PCM .WAV file and then played it.

The truly terrifying thing is that it didn't sound that horribly bad.

TThere’s also a version of the same soundtrack with annoying comments

    For their next trick, they should convert a wav file of "All you need is love" into an .exe file and see what that app can do...

    @Eber: I tried it myself, using Audacity. It didn't sound exactly the same (I don't know if they used the Windows 7 version of mspaint.exe like I did), but it had some very similar tonal sequences in there. I didn't think this was real either, but after trying it, I think it is.

    OOT here: Larry, I think there's a bug that UAC notification cause System Sounds volume to be reset back to 100% (from anything below 100% level)? For example, if I set the System Sounds volume level to 40% and open a program, which causing UAC notification triggered, then it would cause the System Sounds volume level set back to 100%. I experience this issue in both Windows 7 RTM and SP1.

    @Maximilian Haru Raditya: I cannot reproduce that. (Then again, I am not Larry.) I set my volume to 100%, System Sounds to 20%, started an application that needed Administrator privileges and threw me through the secure desktop, and after OKing it the volume was still at 100% and 20% respectively.

    @JW: I'd say that there's a probability I can't reproduce this issue either sometimes, rarely though. Let's say one time experiment would probably not be sufficient to reproduce it. I consider it to be randomly happening for now, but it does happen. Even, it both happened before I post this reply. Did you close Volume Mixer window before opening the program? Since if it's still opened, this issue couldn't be reproduced.

    I wonder if using that as part of a techno track would be a copyright violation?

    This reminds me of the old Sinclair Spectrum computers, where programs were loaded from audio cassette tapes. You could "hear "the bytes loading", and with a bit of practice it was possible to say if it was loading images, headers, code, or something else.

    klbar: I read that Bill Gates did something similar with the Altair.

    Sounds like a lot of code duplication to me ; )

    If you think that's creative, take a look at this guy: http://i.min.us/ikq8hS.gif :)
