Gruel

Gruel is a type of food consisting of some type of cereal—oat, wheat or rye flour, or rice—boiled in water or milk. It is a thinner version of porridge that may be more often drunk than eaten and may not need to be cooked. Historically, gruel has been a staple of the Western diet, especially for peasants. Gruel is often made from millet, hemp, barley or, in hard times, from chestnut flour or even the less bitter acorns of some oaks.

The importance of gruel as a form of sustenance is especially noted for invalids and for recently weaned children. Hot malted milk is a form of gruel, although the manufacturers of such products as Ovaltine and Horlicks avoid calling it gruel, owing to the negative associations attached to the word in popular culture, as in Charles Dickens's novel Oliver Twist. From a literary, bourgeois, or modern point of view, gruel has often been associated with poverty. Gruel is also a colloquial expression for any watery or liquidy food of unknown character, e.g., pea soup; the word soup itself being derived from sop – the slice of bread which was soaked in broth or thin gruel.

Gruel (computer worm)

Gruel (also referred to by F-Secure as Fakerr) is a worm first surfaced in 2003 targeting Microsoft Windows platforms (such as Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP and so on). It spreads via email and file sharing networks.

Symptoms

Arrival and initial launch

The worm arrives as an attachment with various names in emails claiming to be a security update from either Microsoft or Symantec, depending on the variant. When run, the worm displays a fake Windows Error Reporting dialog box, which the user cannot move or close and contains two buttons Send Error and Send and Close, if the user clicks on the Send Error button, the worm mass-mails itself to all the user's contacts and displays fictitious "technical details" about the supposed error report, which contains a Back button and a Close button. Clicking the Back button will return to the original error reporting box, whereas the Close button does not do anything. When the user presses Send and Close, the worm will install itself to the system, disable or terminate Windows Explorer, eject the CD/DVD drive, open many Control Panel options, and then display a dialogue box that cannot be closed, which contains two buttons, "Retry" and "Cancel".

Coming Turn

by: Karelia

Lying alone in this cold and quiet room
I can hear their whispers now
I can sense it: A turn is coming on
Lying alone in this cold and quiet room
The door is silently opening
I can sense it: A turn is coming on
Wincing faces, racked by pain
They come to me as I fall asleep
Climbing the stairs, to hide is vain
They will get me in this night so deep
Exhausted veins
Bloody drugs every day
Their needles in my brain
They gave me one more jab supposed to relieve all that pain
I tried to get away
To escape from that place
But my own legs betray me leaving body on that bed
Wincing faces, in front of me
They've come to me and I don't dare
To give that fight for eternity
