[ uXu Index #28 - 1-Aug-97 ] [ By The GNN ]
____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________
* Die intro. "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.

April August April August April August Releases 1997:
397: "Detour" by The GNN. 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? YOU'RE REALLY SOMETHING fzxc4f343fNxSX()"#nocarrier).
[#410 also includes an index for the uXu-S series]
