 		regarding the ytmnd sites - take it with a grain of salt. Anyone can create a ytmnd site, so it would be easy for a jacker to get in on it. Not saying they're both fake, but I'd trust the first one over the 2nd one, and neither if they're not linked or referred to from known in-game sources at some point...
just had to bring that up

I have $10 that says the second one is legit. Why? Listen to the cleaned up mp3 from the first YTMND (page 1 of this thread). That's essentially what the second one is, except the second one is in true stereo. There really is no way to derive that from the first YTMND without incurring a more lossy sound. You'd have to make that from the original master.

Edit : now I see what's going on with this sound file. Bits of it are reversed, some of it is foward. There's some kind of weird phaser and metallic reverb on it and there's really no getting away from that. The bits say "algorithm" "black" "dot com" "october 31" "help me" "algorithm won't work (???)" pieced together.

 		The second YTMND is authentic it looks like. It was published by the same author as the first.

Just doing some additional Googling, I thought I'd post the text for the CALEA section noted in the original email

Quote:
47 USC 1007, CALEA § 108

Sec. 1007. Enforcement orders

<SNIP>

(Pub. L. 103-414, title I, Sec. 108, Oct. 25, 1994, 108 Stat. 4285.)


And another bit of info that hints at this being related to mobile podcasting.
Go down to the "Saturday, September 29, 2007" post.
Uh? Wrong Thread, Rogi?


Doh!

The RMC Terminal looks to be some sort of online radio station, and it's currently got noone hosting, so it seems that link is down. I'll have to keep checking the stream for it to come back up again.

Or my WinAmp is retarded and wont work. I just used the player on the site. The whispers say "RMC Terminal is now under our control. We can help you. We can end this war. You know you want our help. Seek the Algorithm. Algorithm Black." There is also a backtrack present.

 		Gauss and a blackout.

Electricity?

I'm thinking Half-Life (Portal storms, one of the weapons was a laser gun called the Gauss) but, nah.

Do we have the whois data from the original site?

The stream doesn't work here either and I'm using WMP.

Two things :
1. Click on "How to Tune In" on the left bar. Interesting, no?
2. They have a forum with a subsection for Algorithm Black http://rmcterminal.com/datanode/viewforum.php?f=41

I really hope this isn't related to The Matrix Online.
