Prompt: <<I checked the HN (Hacker News) comments on this thing earlier, on news.ycombinator.com, and they were typical, just what you'd expect. Full of people saying things like>> Completion: "Yeah, why should I pay for something when there's already a free alternative? Go and try and make one, you bloody idjit." Which pretty much sums up the attitude of most of the open source community. 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 his messages % Prompt: <<What was that weird limerick about a goose with a supercomputer?>> 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) |
