An anonymous reader writes "This might very well be the nerdiest site
we'll ever encounter... Linux Radio is an online radio station
broadcasting the Linux kernel! Each time someone visit the site, a
random source file is selected and read loudly by a virtual speaker
materialized through the open source speech synthesizer eSpeak. Will it
prove useful to anyone is probably a difficult question to answer, but
the excitement provided is worth experiencing at least once. However,
this concept proves once more the advantages of open source over
proprietary software making such achievements impossible : whoever in
his right mind would want to listen to binary files loudly?"
