Chains Around My Heart
----------------------
Rush Street
Richard Marx (Lyrics by Fee Waybill)
Out of my sight / But the vision is still the same
Out of my mind / But the memory remains unchanged
Stones thrown in anger hold twice the hurt
Return to sender could only make things worse
Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
Cause I've been lonely too long
You've got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life
Don't ask me why / Why I've lived with this all alone
Locked up inside / And it's cutting me to the bone
Love is a stranger avoiding me / Beware of danger's the only sign I see
Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
Cause I've been lonely too long
You've got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life
Are you listening / Is there something that you'd like to say
Am I getting through / Are you just gonna leave me this way
Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
Before it tears me in two / You've got to break these chains around my heart
That's all I'm asking of you
You've got to break these chains around my heart
Cause I've been lonely too long
You've got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life

Subject: How's Your Internut IQ--Ze Grate Internut Trivia Hunt FYI
Date: Thu, 1 Apr 1993 08:48:40 -0500
From: ddern@world.std.com (Daniel P Dern)
To: com-priv@psi.com
Denouncing: THE LESSER INTERNUT TRIVIA HUNT
Date: 03/32/93
>From: Daniel Dern, High Muckymuck, Internut Whirled
Argument: Sure, savvy Internauts have proven they can locate
important stuff and do essential things over the Internet, but
how much do you really know about this globe-girdling gizmo?
Hmmm? How much of its history do you know? (As those of us
who read Usenet groups like alt.internet.access.wanted know,
"those who do not read the previous week's postings are bound
to repeat the same basic questions.") Do you care? Do we care
that you don't care? Are you reading this or fnord have you
skipped to what looks like fnord the interesting parts?
Disclaimer: To simplify matters, there will be no rules, no prizes,
and no entries. Previous winners of Internet Hunts will be disqualified
unless their spouses have recently masqueraded as a member of the
British constabulary. Comments and questions to Dave Null
( /dev/null@yoursystemFDQNhere ) Neither Ric nor Bill Gates
know anything about this, unless you tell 'em.
1. What does the &-[8-}#.........@ smiley mean? (Take your best
shot)
2. Using the Network Temperature Protocol, can you determine whether
it's likely to rain at a given site, or is the air conditioning
on too hard? How about the Network Earthquake Protocol?
3. Locate and quote the first stanza from "Rosencrantz and Ethernet".
Who wrote it?
4. Explain why you probably don't want to telnet from the Internet to
CompuServe? Who might?
5. Where can I get information on how to connect my bicycle to the
Internet? Is there a newsgroup or mailing list about this?
6. Find a message from Gordon Cook that is not complaining or
criticizing, and also what is the price for the Cook report?
7. Where was one of the first appearances of 'You are in a maze of
twisty little directories, all alike'?
8. What were the two initial SNMP states for John Romkey's toaster?
Who ate the demo?
42. For extra credit: Can you find a posting that is readable (although
not necessarily identical) when rot13'd? (the text, not the
header, of course)
9. What questions are most frequently asked on news.newusers.questions?
10. What was the Stargate project, and why didn't it happen?
11. How do I send a message to everyone on the Internet? (Don't try it,
just indicate how) How much will this p*ss people off? How many
hostile mail messages can you expect to get in response?
12. Without regard to likely skill, give a suggested starting line-up for
the Internet All-Star Basketball team? For extra credit, give the
opposing line-up from the Marketing Analysts team.
13. What's the real story behind the Core explosion in the Known Universe?
Where can I get more details?
14. How many miles of wire were used in the show network (INTEROPnet)for
Interop 92 Fall? How much pizza was consumed in putting it together?
Chocolate?
15. In what technical newsletter Q&A column do answers tend to start
with "Down on the farm, we have a saying..."
16. Who coined the expression, "Death by success" and what aren't they
doing anymore?
17. In terms of transmission, what is the slowest connection on the
Usenet (between two points, versus total hop count)?
18. How do I examine directory listings and individual files at remote
FTP sites without retrieving them, assuming I'm still running a
pre-1992 version of FTP and not using Gopher, etc?
19. Is there a way I can play tiddlywinks over the network?
20. Where can I get information about the following books?:
_ Men Who Believe in OSI and the Women Who Love Them
_ Root
_ The Usenet Diet
_ Why Johnny Can't Grep
_ Integrated Routing Is No Sin
21. Who is Milo Media?
22. How many of these questions have real answers?
23. What is the origin of the term "SnailMail" (and don't bother
bluffing!)?
24. What are some notable features of the Xmnm program?
25. What do you get when you play Internet Talk Radio segments
backwards? Does Tipper Gore know about this?
Thanks and good luck! (Remember, don't send answers.)

Plan? What plan?
------ Athena hacks for April 1, 1993 ------
Two hacks, one visible (and IMHO neat) and one much less visible.
Hack #1: Changed the names in w20-575 (Student Center public cluster)
from the old w20-575-xxx to w20-<element name> Also, for cases where
elements didn't exist, they substituted other names "dilithium", etc...
Hack #2: Changed the `today` command (in the watchmaker locker) to return
a silly version of the information, as in:
Today is Thursday, the first day of April, nineteen ninety-three. The
big hand is on the twelve and the little hand is on the one. The Moon is
Waxing Gibbous (66% of Full).
------ Phi Delta Theta Social Events for the upcoming weeks ------
Wed March 31: 9:30PM Wed Social (this week is coffee & cheesecake)
Fri April 2: 8:00PM Beer Pong (2 person teams, playing drunken ping-pong)
Mon April 5: 5:30PM Faculty Dinner (Cocktails @ 5:30, Dinner @ 6PM) (i)
(i) indicates that the event is (roughly) closed and invitations are available.
Other events are "open" to all friends of the house and guests
Any questions, don't call me, call the house number (247-8691) and ask for
Pat Baker or Zack Johnson... Thanks... ---Jim Sokoloff

Peacekeeper
A man in Morgantown, West Virginia, admitted that he had taken almost
1,900 college texts worth more than $60,000 from eight area libraries.
He said that the books contained information that could be used to
design nuclear weapons, and he wanted to keep them from falling into
the wrong hands.

therese (Therese):
Go placidly among the noise and haste, remember what peace
there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with with all persons. Speak your truth
quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and
ignorant, they too have their story - Avoid loud and aggressive
persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare
yourself with others, there will be greater and lesser persons
than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans -
Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a
real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise
caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of
trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere, life is full
of heroism - Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity
and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass - Take kindly
to the counsel of they years, gracefully surrending the things
of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden
misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome
discipline, be gentle with yourself - You are a child of the
universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right
to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the
universe is unfolding as it should - Therefore be at peace with
God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors
and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with
your soul - With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is
still a beautiful world. Be careful, strive to be happy.
- Max Ehrman
