"Jeder Mensch hat ein eigenes Maass, gleichsam eine * eigne Stimmung aller seiner sinnlichen Gefuhle zu * einander." * - Johann Herder * * Typing is hazardous to your health. If you don't believe me, give * our editor Bravemoore a call and ask him why he is unable to use a * keyboard. Yep, it's unfortunately true: too many years of writing * have injured his wrists. This is why uXu index numero twenty-eight * (the file you're scanning right now) has not been constructed by * him, but someone else. * * Anyway, welcome to another release from the never-ending clan of * Underground eXperts United. This summer we celebrate our sixth year * in the textfile business, assuring you that the mass of Swedish * and English uXu files will exceed six megabyte before the end of * nineteen ninety-seven. We hope that you will stay with us in the * future too. I mean, we haven't declined, have we? If you think so, * please mail a message to the address below and give us hell. We are * here to please you (and, to a certain extent, satisfy our primitive * drive for writing), so come on and give us some feedback will you. * * Contrary to popular belief, members of uXu does not only sit on * their fat arses in front of monitors and unhealthy keyboards all * day long. In August, we will show up at the esteemed HIP (Hacking * In Progress) conference down in Almere, The Netherlands. If you're * heading that way, maybe we'll see each other there. * * * / The GNN * (still) mailto:uxu-request@lysator.liu.se --------------------------------------------------------------------- Use our mailing lists, here's all you need to know! --------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two lists available for subscribing: 1) THE UXU LIST (File Distribution List) Address: uxu-request@lysator.liu.se Description: Subscribers will receive the files in plain ASCII as the releases are made available.

Have you ever asked yourself this question: what is the meaning of life? You have, no question about it. But have anyone tried to ask a machine this question? Of course not - no machine available can understand such a question. This piece of sci-fi, however, puts you in a soon-to-come future where it is actually possible to ask a computer the question in question. The question is, can you cope with the twist? 398: "Inner Demons" by Knyttet. Demons are usually known as a class of metaphysical objects which all lack one crucial property: existence. There are, however, other variants of these objects which need not actually exist as ontological objects to be scary. These are the demons our mind creates for us, with or without our permission. 399: "Hypocrite" by The GNN. It is often a big gap between what we say and what we do. If you consider yourself being a person with consistent views on what is right and wrong, this file will claim that you are lying through your teeth. 400: "For Your Own Good" by Joseph. We have no intention of standing out of the crowd; so, here is the official uXu no. 400 celebration file! Even though it does not exhaust all interpretations, this file is, more or less, about the etos of uXu. Joseph-style, that is. You know what that means. 401: "Die Old And Avoid Accidents?" by Bravemoore. Yes! Finally! An how-to text that answers one of mankind's oldest questions. How should one act to gain eternal life? The usual answer is 'believe in God' but in this text you will find a more scientific explanation. It actually works, I promise you. 402: "My Collection Of Rejection Letters" by The GNN. This is supposed to be a production belonging to the department of humor. But a closer look reveals that it really is nothing more than a long trek into the writer's personal frustration. The title says it all. Rejection-letters. A collection! If you are planning to submit a MS to some company, read this file to get a hint of what will pop down in your mailbox a few months later... 403: "Firstborn" by Knyttet. Spread the news! The next generation Underground eXperts United is on the way! Yes, thanks to Knyttet we have now secured our existence for yet another generation. However, the eXpert in question is not yet born. Anyway, how does it feel to know that one is going to have a child? Read this text to find out. 404: "Is Meat Murder?" by The GNN. Aww, is it not nice to watch all these cute little animals that share the world with us? Sure is. No wonder some people get pretty upset when their favourite pets are brought down to the slaughter house and cut to pieces. But is this something bad? Is it wrong to kill animals? Some say yes, The GNN says no. 405: "Raised Carefully" by Bravemoore. Raising children is not all that easy. It seems like they always turn out completely different from the initial plan. Some children, however, are not like this. They adjust themselves to any demand from their parents. Is this good or bad? This file might not give you the answer, but another viewpoint. 406: "States Of Confusion" by The GNN. If you are sold out on the ideas of this writer, you will here find yet another file that appeals to your intuitive feelings. In his usual tentative, irrational, illogical and incomprehensible way, GNN gives you the higher truth concerning... well, find out for yourself. 407: "Drunk But Divine" by Joseph. It has been told that God designed man after himself. That might be the case. But then, how far does the similarities reach? Does God have two legs? Probably. Does God have a head? Probably. Does God speak? Probably. Could God end up as a alcoholic after too many years of heavy drinking? You never know... 408: "Pills" by The GNN. This is a scientific fact: emotions does not really exist. But fear no more! Thanks to the chemists at the uXu lab, you can now regain control over your own feelings! Here is the list of all available medications you will ever need! 409: "Another Day" by Joseph. Political discussions have the tendency to never lead anywhere, simply because the involved parties seldom gets down to the real problems. In this file, Joseph reports his thought on this subject. Okay, so he was rather drunk when he came up with the ideas presented here, but that is no reason for not consulting this file whenever you need to get some things straight. 410: "uXu Index #28" by The GNN. If you missed the last release, you might wonder why this file is so damn short. Well, to repeat, we had to exclude the list of all other available uXu files in the index, because the index file itself had grown too big! If you need a complete list of all the files, simply send a message to <uxu-request@lysator.liu.se> with the subject "INDEX UXUSHORT" and you will back on track again. But in all other aspects, this index looks like the previous ones (but with different files) OH REALLY? YOU MEAN THAT YOU DON'T PUT OLD FILES INTO THE NEW INDEX?
