DEEP-FRIED ATTITUDE FOR A WORLD STARVED FOR SUPERHEROES
CULT OF THE DEAD COW (cDc) regrets the delay in releasing our glorious Global
Domination Update. What with George Clooney hopping onto Princess Diana's
coffin to settle old scores with the tabloids, it's been hell trying to get a
word in edgewise. But we bear our burdens and move on. And so it is -- after
much grieving and maudlin songs -- that the CULT OF THE DEAD COW releases two
file packs of five files each, anoints one new member and expands on our
work with the Hong Kong Blondes.
As our young people skip off to school, lunch pails bursting with wholesome
treats and whistling their favorite video bits, we at the CULT OF THE DEAD COW
DISTANCE LEARNING CENTER have labored long and hard to shine a light in the
darkness -- sort of like high-beams along the information superhighway.
Our crack team of learning experts have put together a wack packet of
mind expanding mayhem in the hope that it will be the one thing that keeps our
youth from purchasing firearms, or seeking employment in Redmond.
We take special pride in announcing a new member to our ranks who goes by the
name, SirDystic. He is rumored to be the child of Seymour Cray and an unknown
showgirl. We found him living in a dumpster with a Palm Pilot, a case of
Astroglide and his latest text file. Remember the Internet worm? Imagine the
same thing, only _bigger_. An automated, systemic infection of the Internet --
all made possible because of the success of Bill Gates' dream of a computer in
every home, running Windows. With a little work and SirDystic's file, this is
just one possibility.
It was a long hot summer for the HERD. The heat off the flashpacks and klieg
lights at DefCon and H.O.P.E. were trying, but they come with the territory.
Grandmaster Ratte's breakthrough performance at DefCon was the talk of Las
Vegas, as was Microsoft's idle promise to give cDc Hacker Laureate Mudge the
keys to the kingdom. Kaiser Wilhelm's star braun-nosers, Karan Khanna (head of
NT Marketing) and Paul Leech (one of the main developers and author of the
CIFS specification) promised Mudge a subscription to DevNet for a year and a
link to the L0pht's site from Microsoft's Web page. Waiting - still waiting.
And of the many happy memories at H.O.P.E., the CULT OF THE DEAD COW'S
official announcement of our strategic alliance with the Hong Kong Blondes was
received to deafening applause. The Hong Kong Blondes are a group of computer
scientists and human rights activists who have taken the revolution on-line.
They are active in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing. And you can bet you'll be
hearing a lot more about the real meaning of payback if the government of
geriatric kleptocrats don't keep their word on social reform. Check the new
cDc homepage (www.cultdeadcow.com) for future announcements. And support human
rights in China -- the cDc does.
Oh, one last morsel. The CULT OF THE DEAD COW has been requested by the
Electronic Frontier Foundation to take over the EFF's ftp archives. The circle
is now complete. The group that for so long has contributed to the computer
underground will soon become the official custodian of its content. (Look for
a full announcement soon.) And you thought we didn't have a plan. Damn, we're
good.
