Skilled at visual learning? Measure your musical-visual intelligence online!
While working at the music and neuroimaging lab at Beth Israel/Harvard Medical School in Boston, I developed a quick online way to screen for the tonedeafness. It actually turned out to be a pretty good test to check for overall pitch perception ability. The test is purposefully made very hard, so excellent musicians rarely score above 80% correct. Give it a try! In our research, we were looking for neuro-anatomical correlates of tonedeafness (called "congenital amusia" in the scientific literature. Flash is necessary to take the tonedeaf test. After completing the test, your score will be automatically and anonymously submitted.

learn morse code Paranoia: Whats it all about? What is Paranoia about? Paranoia is a roleplaying game with a difference. Where as other RPGs encourage players to work together towards a common goal, Paranoia encourages backstabbing, double-crossing and bare-faced lying. The back of the Paranoia rulebook describes the game as follows: Imagine a world designed by Kafka, Stalin, Orwell, Huxley, Sartre and the Marx Brothers... Paranoia is a roleplaying game set in a darkly humorous future. You play one of The Computer's elite agents. Paranoia: A lighthearted game of terror, death, bureaucracies, mad scientists, mutants, dangerous weapons, and insane robots, which encourages players to lie, to cheat, and backstab each other at every turn. Is that fun? Trust us. Suffice to say, Paranoia is fun. Alpha Complex This is where everybody lives. The Computer The Computer runs everything within Alpha Complex. Though deranged, The Computer believes it is doing the right thing. Clones The Computer doesn't make that kind of mistake. Mutations Secret Societies

Pointless Sites - Useless Sites - Random websites - PointlessSites.com The Hacker Manifesto by +++The Mentor+++ Written January 8, 1986 Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"... Damn kids. But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? I am a hacker, enter my world... Mine is a world that begins with school... Damn underachiever. I'm in junior high or high school. Damn kid. I made a discovery today. Damn kid. And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. Damn kid. You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. Yes, I am a criminal. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto.
