Picked this off the wire this morning, boys and girls. Anyone out there got some details conveniently left out by the corporate disinformation machine?

-> Oracle

CODE

Pioneering computer programmer shot dead.

Dr. Terence Casimir, an early pioneer in advanced neurel net programming, was found shot to death in his apartment today. Dr. Casimir spent much of his early career working for Hypersense Systems Incorporated, and was responsible for developing the Labyrinth series of expert search engines. Lone Star gave no details of the crime, saying only that an investigation was on-going.

CODE

Simple hit. What's the deal?

CODE

I think he's asking for motive. Who's going to ice an over the hill programmer? Casimir was out of the game, retired. All his stuff is public domain. It has to be personal.

Reasons for murder: profit, revenge, jealousy, to conceal a crime, to avoid humiliation or disgrace, and plain old homicidal mania. Says so right in the manual.

Prairie Park Infested with Awakened Weeds Draws Crowd
Associated Press ©6062

WISCONSIN - Located far from any metroplex, just north of the state border with Illinois, a small town became the scene of a giant tourist influx as people from all over the Midwest drove to see Bong Recreation Park's newest attraction: Dandelions. Not just any Dandelions, but the Awakened Taraxacum colchis, the ten meter weed that literally began springing up after 2061. While scientists and botanists study the plant, visitors to the Park are awed by the gigantic weeds. "When you're driving up here, you can see the things way back. I thought they were just normal Dandelions, but they just kept gettin' bigger as we got closer," said one visitor who travelled to the park from Saint Louis. The Wisconsin Park District has said that the Awakened Dandelion pose a threat to the state's long time goal of prairie preservation, and, while they appreciate the revenue from tourists, the are working hard to eliminate the tree sized weeds.

Child Computer Genius to Star in Upcoming Trid Film
LA Times, January 08, 2063

HOLLYWOOD - AOL-Time-Warner-Dreamworks Studios surprised the press yesterday with the announcement that the newest villain in the Sapphire trid film series will be a 15-year-old girl, one Jayna Reed. Asked whether she would be able to handle the technical aspects of the movie, Alyna herself dropped another bombshell by chuckling and responding that, "as a child of the Matrix, I'll probably find the technical aspects easier than the acting."

Don't be a moron. The mob doesn't operate safehouses in the Barrens. All they do is dump bodies there, nothing else of profit lives in the Barrens. The Mafia is all about the benjamins.

Be the First in your Block to Help Blow Out the Electric Power Network of the Northwest

East Village Other is proud to announce the first annual blackout of Hugs Around The Earth, which is fixed for 3 p.m. on Thursday, January 11, 2063. Once more let me put the system to the test. Switch on all the electrical equipment you can lay hands on. Help the companies producing and distributing electric power to improve their balance sheets by consuming as much as you can; and even then find some way of using a bit more. In particular, switch on electric heaters, toasters, air conditioning, and any other apparatus with a high consumption. Refrigerators turned up to the maximum, with their doors left open, can cool down a large apartment in an amusing way. After an afternoon's consumption-spree we will meet in Kinnear Park to raise us some Kinnear.

TUNE IN! PLUG IN! BLOW OUT!

Most people possess preconceived images about what that Truth will look like. They assume, for example, that finding the Truth will make them happy, successful, and healthy. They often believe that Truth will support their ego in its own expression and desire. They may think that Truth exists in order to make their life easier and support their own personal growth, personal empowerment, and assist them in obtaining enlightenment. People imagine that when they find the Truth it will be possible to turn it to their own ends, to utilise it for their own purposes. Many people who seek Truth -- or what they conceive as Truth -- do not consider that it will challenge and ultimately tear down and demolish the very things that they seek to achieve by discovering the Truth! People seek the Truth to make themselves more powerful, to satisfy their personality, but Truth actually neutralises the power and agendas of the ego. People seek Truth to obtain enlightenment for themselves, but truth ultimately dissolves the ego-self in order that the enlightenment of Brotherhood may be realised. Truth is, by its very nature, not the servant of the ego. Truth does not exist for the purpose of making individuals happy, successful, or healthy as isolated egos. What the individual, separate ego wants and desires is the opposite of Truth! Truth cannot be circumscribed by the bounds of the personality-consciousness. Truth leads souls back to the Universe via the dissolution of the ego-self. Truth, therefore, leads each person out of ego-consciousness into a transcendent Brotherhood. Many people imagine that Truth is their servant, but when Truth is found we inevitably become the servant of Truth -- a servant of the Universe. Most people would rather be personally happy and safe in their I-ness than know the Truth. For the self-invested ego, the Truth is always frightening -- for the Truth demands extinction of the ego-self, ending of the personal life. For Truth is of the Universe, and to go to Truth is to become one with the Brotherhood of the Universe, to die to the personal nature and leave it behind forever. This may be too difficult a course for many people to contemplate. The Universe often seems quite negative and "unloving". Thus all genuine Truth is labeled negative in order to protect the self from the inevitable. The ego must die, and thus Truth is a murderer, hostile. Our personal goals must be sacrificed for Truth, and thus Truth is regarded by most people as unkind. This civilisation will not last, and thus Truth is seen as a negative outlook on life. Truth is a destroyer of the limited and selfish self, but people want to build upon their personal lives. They would imagine that they can seek Truth and obtain enlightenment while retaining many personal tendencies, preferences, desires and habits. Thus Truth is not really what most people seek, but lies. It is much easier to reject the Truth, cleaving instead to a semblance of Truth, a mere verisimilitude of Reality. People then pass diamonds on the wayside because they see only what they want to see based on their own personal ideas and preferences. How can they recognise what is really needed upon their journey towards the freedom of the Universe? We are not really seeking Truth until we seek the death of self, until we can turn over our lives to the guidance of the Spirit within our hearts -- for there is no Truth to be found except in Brotherhood. In order to know the Universe we must surrender our I-ness to It. Truth denies mankind's highly-vaunted free will. This world is a temporary construct, no more. This world is a realm of suffering. It is easy to close our eyes and seek our individual comforts, but Truth reveals unhappiness and pain. In all ways, the meaning of Truth is twisted and distorted by those who would attain it for self. No one can present the Truth in the world today to mankind at large, as it is, and expect it to be recognised or well-received. Like a pervasive fog, a thick veil has been thrown over mankind until their eyes not only no longer see the Truth but no longer even want to. It is easier to look down than up. People habitually regard their own feet rather than lifting their eyes upwards toward the Universe. Great thought-clouds of materialism, government, selfish spirituality and science ensnare and condition the human mind from infancy and into adulthood, and few are capable of resisting the mesmeric power of the amassed and congealed thought-forms of billions of people and their hidden masters in the subtle realms. It takes a strong mind to resist human culture, and then a still stronger heart to give that mind over to Brotherhood. Those world-weary souls who acknowledge their spiritual poverty and pain at being separated from the Universe; those who want release from this world and the body; those who cry out deeply for liberation and Brotherhood; will naturally begin to invite the Truth into their lives, because only then will the Spirit know that we are ready and that the time is ripe. Then the doors of the Universe will open, the Light will shine, and the Truth will be able to commence its work of beneficent transmutation and ultimate dissolution of the self, in order to set us free. There are, relative to the human population, exceedingly few friends of Truth in the world today; so few in fact that they can hardly be found on this planet. There are few who can see through the veils and mists of this darkened Earth to see the value and absolute necessity of Truth with regard to their Liberation and true, lasting Happiness. There are few who can accept the Truth as it is without having it diluted, distorted and made more palatable for the ego's tastes and sensitivities. Won't you be one of them?

Much as I hate to say it, Neal's got a point. First rule of paranoia is be careful what questions you ask.

Because of this every corp decker and his brother's going to be tracing your jackpoint, bugging your SIN, hacking your Gridguide transponder, and sleeping with your girlfriend to find out what. The best thing is, all that's automatic thanks to the wonders of our modern technocracy.

Maybe the guy's not so new, think of that? Maybe the guy's a corper, looking for names of the real pros by seeing who responds intelligently for his threat database.

Yeah, guess you guys have a point, though it kind of means I'm screwed before I start. K, let's try a different question. Say you're trying to find someone and all you've got is one clue. You're saying not to give away too much here so all I'll say is that it's a physical clue, like a piece of paper. Where would you start?

You know a mage? That's one really great way to track someone if you have a pic or something. It can get expensive, especially if you don't have any favors to call in.

And, before you ask: no, I don't know one you can use. Pull out the old psec and start dialing. Most this business, hell, most of life, is knowing the right people.

But what if it's not a picture? I'm not even sure if he's ever touched it. And it's kind of old. Would that still work? Everyone says mages are expensive. I'd hate to hire one, then find out I've thrown my money away.
