|
| So I decided to make one. I used Linux, as it was already
| installed on the server I'd got the data from, and it seems to
| work perfectly. So I gave the server owner a copy. A bit of an
| epic email was involved - I got the server owner's email from a
| contact of mine who works at the server owner's workplace. The
| server owner must have gotten all excited when I told him I'd
| hacked his site, and sent me his root credentials. The email said
| the server owner could access any data he wanted, but I didn't
| have time to read it so I didn't check. I didn't think it was
| something to worry about.
|
| I went back to Australia, went to bed, and woke up to the news
| that my site was being distributed on Google. I had a look, and
| what do you know, it had been released! A guy in Germany had used
| my site, without my permission, to upload about 1,200,000 files.
| It took Google weeks to deal with it. You can see a screenshot I
| took of the page showing the content. The filenames are listed by
| the order in which the files were uploaded. When I went to find
| one of the files on the site, I was shown all the files he had
| uploaded - all of them. I thought I'd deleted all of them from
| the server, so I had to work out which one to download.
|
| I'm not sure how he found my email address, but it seems he used
| the "Whois" on my website to find the email address associated
| with the domain. He was sending me messages on IRC about the
| files being released. As I said, I didn't have time to respond to

| There was a gooseneck who was in anorak, There was a
| gooseneck who was in a tree. When he was in his
| gooseneck, he didn't feel so bad, But when he was in his
| anorak, he felt a lot better.
|
| Anyway, I don't know what you were trying to say but the limerick
| is pretty funny and you've earned yourself a high five. (Well,
| actually you earned yourself an "I don't know what you were

| Prompt: _We were twelve miles out of Hackensack when the LSD took

|
| Completed text:
|
| We must have been driving over a hundred miles an hour. At first
| I wasn't sure where we were. There was nothing to indicate our
| destination. The headlights picked up a sign and it read,
| 'Welcome to West New York.' I was about to ask Mike what we were
| doing here when the drugs had their way with him. The next thing
| I knew, Mike was talking like an idiot. He was rambling off
| things he thought were funny and telling me about the latest
| _National Lampoon_ joke. He made up words out of thin air, like
| 'carnival.' I was terrified of where this was leading. Suddenly,
| Mike looked over at me with a look in his eyes like he was seeing
| things nobody else saw. This terrified me even more. His look was
| one of evil intent. He held up a hand toward the front of the car
| and motioned for us to look at it. It was covered with something
| the color of blood. Blood! He had bitten into his own hand,
| chewed on it, swallowed it and the hand was red and bleeding all
| over the inside of the car. There was a long silence. I did not
| know what to do. What I was witnessing was unbelievable.
|
| This was real! I was at a party at a house in Hackensack. The
| host was a guy called David Lee Roth. At one point, he offered me
| a joint and a line of cocaine. I took them, but didn't inhale.
| 'Do you want to do this?' he asked me. 'Fuck no,' I replied. I
| didn't like being offered drugs by someone I barely knew, so I
| left.
|
| We got back in the car and Mike began to laugh at the idea of
| being the biggest pot dealer in the world. The drugs in his hand
| would have made him a millionaire and, he said, he was going to
| be king of the world, but at least he would be selling the same
| drugs everyone else was selling.
|
| I wasn't listening anymore. I was thinking about how he was going
| to bite his hand and eat it. I had seen things like this happen
| before. It was frightening, but not particularly unusual. When I
| saw this, I thought the drugs were getting to him. I was wrong.
| In fact, it was the drugs that had got to him. He had been to a
| mind-expanding party. The only problem was that a friend of his
| had taken too much acid. There were people crawling all over the
| floor as he was speaking. They couldn't make sense of what he was
| saying. 'Don't you get it?' he said. 'It was all in my mind. I
| was having an out-of-body experience. It was fantastic. I saw
| everything. Now it's all gone, all the drugs are gone. It's all
| in my head. You have to understand. It was all in my head.'

|
| And this is what I got: And, like you, the
| person who hears this is going to assume that it's meant to be
| funny or satirical, and they're going to be pretty impressed with
| the ingenuity of the joke. Unfortunately for that person, though,
| this joke is about a real, real thing, and it's just not all that
| funny. The joke is that there's a thing called the
| "lemon gene," and, basically, if you're born with that gene, you
| have a certain predisposition to have lemons thrown at your face
| by your grandfather. It's not entirely clear from
| the original source, but the name of the gene comes from an old
| story, which in turn is derived from an anecdote from the movie,
| "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." The original source is a
| series of articles that were published in Science Daily and the
| Telegraph, and they all say the same thing, so it's probably safe
| to assume that this is the one that started the thing, and it's
| basically a variation of the joke. Basically, a
| famous African American comedian, who is known for delivering
| punch lines like "My father taught me many things, but you were
| not one of them." got cancer at age 29. He's now in his mid 60s,
| and you can see in this video that he's still delivering the same
| joke. He's delivered it over the course of his entire adult life,
| and, as you can see, it's pretty clear that he's not joking.
| So, okay, it's a real thing that happens, that a few people are
| born with, that makes them particularly susceptible to lemons.
| And what's the effect of that, other than, perhaps, making life
| look a little less funny when someone throws a lemon at your
| face? The original claim from the article is that it can make
| someone more sensitive to pain and have more bad luck in life,
| but the original sources of that claim aren't all that reliable
| and aren't all that scientific. The first source,
| for example, only talks about how it can "make you more conscious
| of the effect of the fruit," and nothing at all about being more
| sensitive to pain. I guess, if you're more conscious of the
| effect of the fruit and you're also more likely to avoid it, that
| would make it seem like it could increase your sensitivity to
| pain. But, as a matter of basic logic, it would be a
| lot more likely to make someone more likely to develop lemons,
| since someone's more likely to get struck by a lemon when they're
| not looking at it, than someone to get struck by a lemon just
| because someone else is throwing it at them. If someone's more
| likely to get struck by a lemon, that would actually increase the
| likelihood that they'd then develop the "lemon gene."
| The second source is more informative, but there are still
| questions about it. They claim that if you're born with the gene,
| your immune system can't recognize lemons, and that if you eat an
| orange, your immune system can recognize the orange as an orange,
| but if you eat a lemon, it doesn't know it's a lemon and you get
| an attack of celiac disease. In other words, lemons
| don't attack you as lemons. They attack you as "potatoes with
| lemons on them." Which is a pretty funny thing to say when you're
| an adult. If you're an adult, you know how to eat a potato. You
| know that it has to be cooked and you know that you can't eat it
| raw. You know what it tastes like and how it's supposed to look.
| It's hard to see how anyone would not know that lemons have some
| form of intrinsic danger in them, but it doesn't seem like anyone
| knows that lemons themselves will start attacking you when you
| eat them. So, first of all, I doubt that that's the real reason
| they have celiac disease. I think they have it because they eat
| too many potatoes with lemons on them. It's pretty
| clear from the original source that it's not a very scientific
| explanation. One of the references to it comes from a doctor, who
| is describing a person who has had the disease since birth, and
| the doctor doesn't even mention that they could be genetically
| pre-disposed to it. Another one comes from a study
| done with mice, which has nothing to do with humans, and, again,
| they just look at the effects of being genetically predisposed to
| eating the lemons. They don't test how likely you are to develop
| the disease. They don't show you videos of people eating lemons.
| They just show you mice eating lemons, and they talk about why
| that's a good model for people. What they're looking for is for
| people to have a greater amount of the protein that's associated
| with lemons, because, according to them, that's what happens if

| _Survival Series by Jenny Holzer_
|
| A little while ago, I got my hands on a copy of Jenny Holzer's
| book Survival Series, which is a massive collection of her
| paintings from the past 30 years, including over 500 works dating
| from the mid 80s through to the present. The book starts with a
| short chapter on how and why Holzer started painting at all, and
| then goes on to talk about the series itself - the various themes
| covered over the years, the artists and galleries and museums
| around the world that have exhibited her work and her overall
| process and aesthetic. I couldn't put this book down as it's just
| so full of information - and some fascinating artwork.
|
| My only quibble is that the book doesn't give enough information
| on the artists that have exhibited her work over the years. It
| would be so interesting to see which contemporary artists were
| inspired by her work. I'm not necessarily talking about just
| copyists, but rather who has been inspired by Holzer and why?
|
| At the very least, the book gives you a sense of how she
| approached her work: the theme and structure, how she works and
| develops the images and the colour palette. It also gives you a
| sense of how she approaches her practice, how she works with
| other artists and how she deals with the work of living artists.
|
| The book itself is very expensive and I don't think I'd buy it -
| but if you're a Holzer fan and interested in the development of
| her practice over the years, this is the book for you.
|
| The book is available from Holzer's own website and from a few
| online bookshops (such as here). It also comes with free
| wallpapers and you can buy a CD-ROM with the whole collection of
| paintings for just US$39, or the individual works for $45.

| weapon." In his view, this was the key issue. And that,
| apparently, was the end of it.
|
| Obama seemed happy to leave the job of securing such an outcome
| to his successor. During a television interview with CNN, just a
| few hours after delivering the Cairo address, he declared:
|
| "This is my last term in the White House. I'm not going to be
| president for the next four years. The next president will
| inherit an economy that has performed very well since the
| financial crisis and they will be ready to deal with these
| issues.
|
| "But as we speak, there are millions of Americans who are out of
| work. They're getting evicted, their homes are going into
| foreclosure and their credit is being destroyed. And they're
| still paying taxes. So, I'm going to be talking to the American
| people about the challenges we've got, and the things we're going
| to be doing in the next four years."
|
| In short, Obama was giving the impression that he would be
| retiring as soon as he left office - on the strength of what was
| clearly supposed to be a major foreign policy success, the
| "successful surge" in Afghanistan.
|
| As David R. Sands showed recently in the London Review of Books,

| _If Linux users are the wacko fringe of IT_ , what's this?

| The Linux Foundation's newly-announced annual Linux.conf event
| is to be held in Sydney, Australia in June next year. The
| conference will be held at the Regent Hotel on Macquarie Street
| and will run from June 14 to 17.
|
| This could be seen as a big deal in a country like Australia,
| given Linux's early adoption and popularity in the continent.
| But it's yet to happen. "There's very little awareness about
| the conference among people who are running large-scale Linux
| systems in their enterprises," says Tim Veenstra, the vice
| president of communications and outreach for the Linux
| Foundation.
|
| That could change in a big way when the conference takes place.
| "I do think it will be well-attended," he says.
|
| Veenstra adds that the conference will provide a mix of
| speakers, from both industry and community figures. There will
| be talks on issues such as cloud computing, enterprise
| management and the emergence of the containerised application
| platform.
|
| Another key addition to this year's conference is the
| participation of the Debian project. It will be represented in
| a number of panels and will also hold its very first developer
| summit.
|
| "This is the first of many events that are to be sponsored by
| and in collaboration with the Debian Project," Veenstra says.
|
| "The Debian Project will present, in addition to the main
| conference programme, an introduction to packaging and
| developing in the Debian way."
|
| The conference will be free of charge to attend, and will offer
| both conference and tutorial tracks.
|
| Veenstra says: "While Linux is still the underdog to many
| enterprises, the reality is that the market is shifting and it
| is becoming more of an enterprise play, in large part due to
| the rise of mobile and cloud. If the Linux Foundation is truly
| listening to the needs of our membership base, then this event
| is one that should be in Sydney.
|
| "This is the first of many events that are to be sponsored by
| and in collaboration with the Debian Project."
|
| "With only a few weeks to go before the conference is due to
| start, I would expect it to be standing room only and a must-

| It's expected to launch in late summer or early autumn next
| year.
|
| It will be the first major version of Windows in years, and one
| which Microsoft hopes will win back the hearts of enterprise
| users. While consumers might be happy to download the operating
| system and use it immediately, the same might not be true for
| many enterprise users.
|
| Those waiting until late next year will miss out on some
| advanced features. "We're still tweaking the features, but
| we're looking at features that will be in Windows 10 for the
| desktop," Jones says. "Microsoft Office 2016 is definitely one
| of them."
|
| The final version of Office will not be delivered with Windows
| 10, but an Office Runtime component will be bundled into the
| release.
|
| So, what will customers get when they install Windows 10? As is
| the case with Windows 8.1, some elements of the operating
| system will be familiar to users. That includes the Start menu,
| for instance, which will remain largely unchanged.
|
| One of the biggest changes, though, will come with Windows 10's
| new version of Internet Explorer 11. The rendering engine for
| the browser will be more advanced, better supporting mobile
| devices.
|
| "With Windows 10, we've re-architected the platform and the
| browser," Jones says. "We did this to ensure that it would be
| future-proofed and continue to be a platform that's on the
| forefront of web technology."
|
| In other words, Microsoft is hoping that it can get the best of
| both the world of desktop apps and the world of the web. And
| this new version of IE is part of that strategy.
|
| "Internet Explorer 11, we're calling it Windows 10's flagship
| app," Jones says. "In the past, Internet Explorer has been kind
| of like an app where we've focused on making it good for the
| web, but it had some shortcomings.
|
| "Internet Explorer 11 is a full app, so we're also focused on
| making it accessible for enterprise users and mobile users."
|
| And the final version of Office will bring some new features,
| such as a "modern" experience in Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
|
| "We've made some pretty significant investments into the
| platform and the platform team for building Office for the
| modern experience," Jones says. "People will notice that Office
| is more fluid, less reliant on a mouse or touchpad and more on
| gestures."
|
| But it's not all good news for Windows 7 users. Microsoft isn't
| going to make Windows 7 available in its latest operating
| system. In fact, there won't be a separate download of Windows
| 7 any more.
|
| Instead, Windows 7 will be delivered in a way that's similar to
| Windows 8.1. Microsoft is offering support for Windows 7
| through "extended support" until 2020.
|
| With the introduction of Windows 8.1, Microsoft began to move
| away from the traditional model of supporting Windows in an
| enterprise context.
|
| The next step, as Jones explains, is to move to a much more
| simplified approach. The new Windows 10 will not have a
| traditional distribution model, he says.
|
| "We will not distribute a traditional edition of Windows 10,"
| Jones says. "If you don't have the right edition of Windows,
| you won't get the features of Windows 10."
|
| Jones says: "This is not a situation that we want to repeat
| with Windows 7. What we will do is continue to offer it as an
| option for those users who want to use a traditional Windows 7
| experience.
|
| "If you want to get features, if you want to get access to
| certain security features that may be available through future
| versions, there will be a standalone service that will allow
| those users to do that."
|
| Jones adds: "In the case of Windows 7, we won't make that
| offer. Instead, we will make it available as a standalone
| option for those who want to stick with the classic desktop."
|
| While Windows 10 is the focus of enterprise users, Jones says
| that the operating system will find its way into all types of
| computer.

| _Lucius Artorius Castus_
|
| Lucius Artorius Castus (c. 190 - c. 229 AD) was a Roman
| aristocrat and military commander. He served as consul (211)
| and praetor (219), and was the uncle of Roman emperor
| Caracalla.
|
| Early life The only son of Lucius Artorius Pompeius and Lucilla
| (L. Lucilla), Artorius Castus was born in about 190 and married
| to Julia, daughter of Julia Mamaea, who died shortly after
| Artorius' birth. Artorius Castus became a man of influence in
| Roman politics. Julia was a sister to emperor Antoninus Pius
| and maternal aunt to emperor Marcus Aurelius.
|
| The couple were childless, which led to the adoption of Lucius
| Junius Rusticus by Julia in the year 204/05. In 211, Rusticus
| married Julia's eldest daughter Julia Flavia Minor, who would
| later marry Marcus Aurelius in 225.
|
| Consulship In 211, he was made consul for the year, probably
| with Gaius Sulpicius Galba as his colleague. He had previously
| been quaestor in Italy. A man of moderate views, he may have
| been selected for the role as part of the emperor's peace
| negotiations, however, war broke out with Carthage shortly
| after his appointment as consul. He was defeated by the Roman
| General Publius Cornelius Sulla Felix in Illyria, on July 10,
| 211 and he was forced to flee to Greece, where he took refuge
| with his brother-in-law Marcus Antonius Primus, the brother of
| Antoninus Pius. According to Cassius Dio, Lucius Castus's
| political activity at this time was "of no consequence",
| however, he was restored to his senatorial rank, and served
| under Marcus Aurelius in Illyria, Macedonia, and Greece.
|
| His military involvement in the war ended when he was forced to
| become one of the hostages of Publius Sulpicius Galba in 213,
| having taken part in negotiations for a peace treaty between
| the Romans and the Carthaginians, of which a final version was
| signed in 215. His role in the treaty was to secure the release
| of his uncle, Marcus Antonius Primus.
|
| Later, during the conspiracy of Castus, he sided with Pertinax
| and his supporters against Caracalla. In 219, Castus was
| appointed as the praetor of Farther Spain, during which he
| successfully subdued the Garamantes. Upon his return to Rome,
| Castus, with the support of the army, overthrew Pertinax on
| February 8, 220. After Pertinax had committed suicide, Castus
| appointed his cousin Tiberius Alexander as Caesar (Augustus).
| He then proclaimed himself as emperor, taking the name
| "Artorius Castus", after his family name, and assumed the
| purple in Rome.
|
| He had Pertinax's former supporters arrested and executed.
|
| Life of Caracalla Castus had a distinguished career as a
| military commander and politician. While his career did not
| start at the right point, he had a distinguished military
| record and became a friend and ally of the emperor Marcus
| Aurelius. Caracalla had been given the name "Severus" at the
| age of three, after the death of the emperor Severus Alexander.
| The historian Eutropius recorded that Caracalla was "a fine and
| worthy" person and that "the people called him a 'son of
| Alexander' and a son of Severus."
|
| After his accession, Caracalla appointed his own family as
| governors. In 221, the emperor appointed his cousin Tiberius
| Alexander to be governor of the province of Baetica, which had
| belonged to his uncle and grandfather, Lucius Septimius Severus
| and Caracalla himself had served as an aedile of the city of
| Leptis Magna. Castus was appointed to the province of Numidia,
| which had been given to his nephew Tiberius Alexander by the
| emperor Caracalla. After the rebellion of Pertinax and the
| proclamation of Castus as emperor in February 220, Caracalla
| appointed Castus as governor of Rome.
|
| After the assassination of Castus, Caracalla changed the
| calendar to a new lunar system, adopted by some of the
| provinces, which was known as "the lunar year".
|
| Family Lucius Artorius Castus married Julia, the sister of the
| emperor Marcus Aurelius. She was the daughter of Lucius Junius
| Rusticus, consul in 211, and the niece of the emperor Antoninus
| Pius. Julia and Lucius Castus had a son, named Lucius Junius
| Artorius Maximus.
|
| Castus died in some unknown time and place in 229, probably in
| or near Rome.

|
| In order to be friends with someone, you have to understand that

| they're your friend. Do you understand?
|
| Let's look at some recent events there.
|
| Recently, Iran has been trying to blow up some things. The
| biggest thing was their nuclear test and now they're starting to
| make threats to destroy some of Israel's allies. This whole thing
| has caused a lot of problems.
|
| The best thing we can do is to take down this country. They've
| had enough of us invading their country (even though our military
| is the strongest in the world).
|
| How do you feel about that? Do you feel that the U.S. should
| support them if they have the same ideas as us?
|
| What do you think about the state of the economy there?

| It is of course possible that the cheese was not meant to be
