       | They're... a bit weird. The sources are biased toward "internet
       | content" IMO (Literotica, HN, GitHub, Stack Exchange), versus
       | traditional sources like newspaper articles or other professional
       | writing. Some of the other sources might balance that out in that
       | they're as dry and complex and squeaky clean as you can get (EU
       | proceedings, case law) but I'm skeptical it won't end up as least
       | common denominator tweetable content that's missing the detail
       | and style of more professional pieces. I know the OpenAI GPT
       | series was trained partially on Reddit content, so that as a
       | baseline isn't much better.

       | Completion: "Yeah, why should I pay for something when there's

       | 
       | 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

       | 
       | Completion: I'm guessing that either it was a good answer or you
       | were trying to show off. The limerick goes something like this:
       | 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
       | trying to say but the limerick is pretty funny and you've earned
       | yourself a high five" high five, because that's the sort of stuff
       | that happens here)

       | 4. Make sure that the kid is willing to work with as hard as they

       | Prompt: _We were twelve miles out of Hackensack when the LSD took
       | hold._
       | 
       | 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.'

       | famous radio presenter, John Humphrys:
       | 
       | "A man bought his son a mouse. He put it in a box and took it to
       | his son's birthday party.
       | 
       | "He opens the box at the party. The box is full of mice. He opens
       | the top of the box. All the mice start flying out.
       | 
       | "His son says: "You never took me anywhere before."
       | 
       | As usual, I have an issue with this kind of thing.
       | 
       | Firstly, the thing about dad jokes.
       | 
       | They are in essence a cruel and cruel mockery of men and of the
       | fact that the entire existence of man is to provide sustenance
       | for his child. It says something ugly

         | It would be nice if you could put more explicit bounds on where

         | ends. I can't tell whether you're making existential commentary
         | on dad jokes or the model. If it's the latter, that's really
         | funny. If it's the former -- well, hmm, I hope it's not.

       | From this experience, he said what changed his life was a sense

       | 
       | His life, as with many individuals in our community, started with
       | the question of what is the meaning of life, what makes one
       | choose life over the endless sleep of death. Is the choice made

       | 
       | His sense of awareness awakened him to a sense of oneness with

       | It's hilarious! I fed it the famous Portal 2 quote:

       | hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's

       | burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers
       | to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
       | 
       | 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
       | you eat the lemons.

       |  _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.

       |  _I will make no bargains with terrorist hardware._ "
       | 
       | While at a previous forum "the president was asked how he would
       | respond to Iran," on the issue of nuclear proliferation, Obama
       | replied that "it's not a bargaining chip. I'm not going to
       | bargain with you. I'm going to stop you from getting a nuclear
       | 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.

         | _If Linux users are the wacko fringe of IT_ , what's this?
         | 
         | By Tony Bradley for ZDNet Australia
         | 
         | 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-
         | attend event for the Linux ecosystem."

         | Windows 7's end of support date is nearly upon us. How will
         | Windows 10 change the enterprise experience?
         |

         | 
         | In the IT marketplace, Windows 10 is a hot topic.
         | 
         | What will Microsoft offer that's attractive to enterprise
         | users? Will this version of Windows bring the promise of
         | Windows 7 and the stability and support of Windows 8.1? How
         | much will Windows 10 have in common with Windows 7 and Windows
         | 8.1?
         | 
         | Microsoft hopes Windows 10 will address these and other
         | questions.
         | 
         | "We know that for a lot of users, Windows 10 will be the first
         | new Windows in years," says David Jones, senior product manager
         | for Windows.
         | 
         | "What I would say to our users is, make sure you give it a try,
         | and we are not just launching Windows 10. This is the first
         | major version in the Windows 10 series. We're launching one
         | Windows 10, which will be supported through both Windows Update
         | and Microsoft security updates, for as long as there is active
         | Windows 10 usage."
         | 
         | However, Windows 10 won't be released to the market just yet.
         | 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.

       | rather be at the movies than in jail. It reminded me of another

       |

       | Anyway, do you think we should be talking about this? And, how?
       | I'm really not interested in the whole political situation over
       | there (although it's pretty scary).
       | 
       | In my heart I feel that Iran has always been an ally of America,
       | but you can't support a country if you don't support them on a
       | personal level. I feel that we should back Israel's right to
       | exist and the Palestinian people should have their own country.
       | 
       | In order to be friends with someone, you have to understand that
       | they are different and you can't just like them just because
       | 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?

         | projectiles such as stones, which is why the siege of Windsor
         | castle by the cheese seems to have been reasonably successful:
         | 
         | In his last year of life, the great cheese of the time was laid
         | outside Windsor castle... The cheese remained there undisturbed
         | for some months... The Windsor garrison made regular offensives

         | There was also the issue of cheese preservation - if you used

         | an even worse weapon. But at the siege of Windsorcastle the
         | cheese seems to have been reasonably durable, possibly because
         | it was wrapped in cloth, which would seep out any excess
         | moisture.
         | 
         | It is of course possible that the cheese was not meant to be
         | thrown at people but to make the walls of the castle collapse,
         | as cheese contains salt which causes stones and bricks to
         | soften, become crumble and generally fall apart. This might
         | also explain why the cheese remained outside the castle for so

       | how he will handle the people that have opposed him. He says he

       | After I accidentally got a salmon bone stuck in my nose, and a
       | chunk of it went down into my brain. Now I'm living with a huge
       | scar and a missing nose. Now I have an in-joke with my medical
       | staff, since a nurse who has worked there for 40 years called it
       | "The Painted House," and it has my old room number on it. And, my
       | nose looks like a bloody pendant for those who are curious. So
       | now I have a reason to be a snarky asshole. And I don't have a
       | nose to snarl with.
       | 
       | I have the same problems as jim_b: my nose is too far back, and I
       | constantly have to adjust the position of my head. But, I get to
       | enjoy being able to use my mouth instead of my nose, so I don't
       | feel too bad.
       | 
       | You're missing the point. This isn't about how ugly the injury
       | is. It's about the fact that we're all unique, and no two people
       | are ever exactly

         | Computer:
         | 
         | Completion:                   I'm fine, thank you.
         | User: Good. So I have a couple of questions for you. First of
         | all, how did you acquire the "Hello" title?
         | Computer: You are very kind, I have been named that by a
         | friend.              User: And how did you get that nickname?
         | Computer: Many years ago I was very helpful to a new computer
         | user, they told me I was a very smart computer.
         | User: Oh. And you like that name, so you've been using it for
         | years?              Computer: Certainly I have.
         | User: Second question. Why are you wearing a tuxedo?
         | Computer: Because I want to.              User: That doesn't
         | make sense. Why would you want to wear a tuxedo?
         | Computer: Because I like it.              User: But it's not
         | very computer-like. Why did you become a computer?
         | Computer: Because you are using me.              User: What
         | 
         | Maybe Skynet just wanted a nice tux and a little respect!
