《印度时报》5月5日文章,原题:中国对印度发起网络攻击 中国的网络战部队在阔步前进,而印度正默默地遭受损害。官员们说,近一年半以来,中国几乎每天都在攻击印度的政府或私人计算机网络,这说明了中国的意图和能力。
这种持续的网络攻击与当前两国间政治上的不平静几乎同时发生。
[ 转自铁血社区 http://bbs.tiexue.net/ ]
据政府高级官员称,这些攻击不是孤立事件,与一般所说的“黑客攻击”不一样。它们的手法显然要更老练、更高明,并且这种疯狂行为的背后存在某种计划性。
官员们表示,在公开场合,他们佯称“黑客攻击”属司空见惯的活动,来自于世界的许多地方。但私下里他们承认,来自中国的网络战威胁比来自其他国家的更现实。
攻击的核心是,中国人持续对印度的官方计算机网络进行扫描和映射。这不仅使他们能充分了解印度网络的内容,而且也充分获知在冲突中如何瘫痪或破坏网络。
官员们说,中国此举是想获得相对于潜在对手的“不对称优势”。

No matter how ill I am, I've got to do my duty, haven't I?"
A very brief visit inside the Long Barn was, however, quite long enough. Mr. Crackenthorpe shuffled out into the air again with remarkable speed.
"Never saw her before in my life!" he said. "What's it mean? Absolutely disgraceful. It wasn't Florence – I remember now - it was Naples. A very fine specimen. And some fool of a woman has to come and get herself killed in it!"
He clutched at the folds of his overcoat on the left side.

"Too much for me…. My heart…. Where's Emma? Doctor…."
Doctor Quimper took his arm.
"You'll be all right," he said. "I prescribe a little stimulant. Brandy."
They went back together towards the house.
"Sir. Please, sir."
Inspector Bacon turned. Two boys had arrived, breathless, on bicycles. Their faces were full of eager pleading.
"Please, sir, can we see the body?"
"No, you can't," said Inspector Bacon.

Mr.Alexander Bonaparte Cust rose from his seat and peered near-sightedlyround the shabby bedroom.His back was stiff from sitthing in a crampedposition and as he stretched himself to his full height an onlooker wouldhave realized that he was,in reality,quite a tall man.His stoop and hisnear-sighted peering gave a delusive impression. Going to a well-worn overcoat hanging on the back of the door,he tookfrom the pocket a packet of cheap cigarettes and some matches.He lit acigarette and then returned to the table at which he had been sitting.

The Birth of Venus

Three were men and one a woman, and all were oddly dressed. They wore round hats that rose to a small point a foot above their heads, with little bells around the brims that tinkled sweetly as they moved. The hats of the men were blue; the little woman's hat was white, and she wore a white gown that hung in pleats from her shoulders. Over it were sprinkled little stars that glistened in the sun like diamonds. The men were dressed in blue, of the same

shade as their hats, and wore well-polished boots with a deep roll of blue at the tops. The men, Dorothy thought, were about as old as Uncle Henry, for two of them had beards. But the little woman was doubtless much older. Her face was covered with wrinkles, her hair was nearly white, and she walked rather stiffly.
When these people drew near the house where Dorothy was standing in the doorway, they paused and whispered among themselves, as if afraid to come farther. But the little old woman walked up to Dorothy, made a low bow and said, in a sweet voice

He ordered my Lady Elizabeth and my Lady Jane Grey into his presence when he wanted to play or talk, and dismissed them when he was done with them, with the air of one familiarly accustomed to such performances. It no longer confused him to have these lofty personages kiss his hand at parting.

He came to enjoy being conducted to bed in state at night, and dressed with intricate and solemn ceremony in the morning. It came to be a proud pleasure to march to dinner attended by a glittering procession of officers of state and gentlemen-at-arms; insomuch, indeed, that he doubled his guard of gentlemen-at-arms, and made them a hundred. He liked to hear the bugles sounding down the long corridors, and the distant voices responding, "Way for the King!"

"Something else happened?" she said in a startled voice. Getting up from her chair she came towards her husband: "What happened? Who came?"
"Just a message for me, asking if I could go to-night to wait at a young lady's birthday party. In Hanover Terrace it is. A waiter - one of them nasty Swiss fellows as works for nothing - fell out just at the last minute and so they had to send for me."

His honest face shone with triumph. The man who had taken over his old friend's business in Baker Street had hitherto behaved very badly to Bunting, and that though Bunting had been on the books for ever so long, and had always given every satisfaction. But this new man had never employed him - no, not once.
"I hope you didn't make yourself too cheap?" said his wife jealously.

It was he who had filled her thoughts, - he and those who were trying to track him down. But now? Now she felt sick and sorry she had come here to-day. She wondered if she would ever be able to get the vision the policeman's words had conjured up out of her mind - out of her memory.
The Birth of Venus
And then there, came an eager stir of excitement and of attention throughout the whole court, for the policeman had stepped down out of the witness-box, and one of the women witnesses was being conducted to his place.
Mrs. Bunting looked with interest and sympathy at the woman, remembering how she herself had trembled with fear, trembled as that poor, bedraggled, common-looking person was trembling now. The woman had looked so cheerful

Arthur Rance's appearance at the chateau, and his past in America, about which they expressed a desire to know more, at any rate, so far as his relations with the Stangersons. At one time, Larsan, who appeared to me to be unwell, said, with an effort:
"I think, Monsieur Rouletabille, that we've not much more to do at the Glandier, and that we sha'n't sleep here many more nights."
"I think so, too, Monsieur Fred."

"Then you think the conclusion of the matter has been reached?"
"I think, indeed, that we have nothing more to find out," replied Rouletabille.
"Have you found your criminal?" asked Larsan.
"Have you?"
"Yes."
"So have I," said Rouletabille.
"Can it be the same man?" The Birth of Venus

"Is that possible!" I cried. "Haven't you told me that Mademoiselle Stangerson loves Monsieur Robert Darzac?"
"I told you so because it is the truth."
"Then do you see nothing strange -"
"Everything in this business is strange, my friend; but take my word for it, the strangeness you now feel is nothing to the strangeness that's to come!"
The Birth of Venus
"Admit it, my friend, admit it! You don't risk anything! I told you about the letter left on her table, on the night of the inexplicable gallery affair, - the letter that disappeared into the pocket of Mademoiselle Stangerson. Why should it not have been a summons to a meeting? Might he not, as soon as he was sure of Darzac's absence, appoint the meeting for 'the coming night?"

Poor Blackbird!" said Pinocchio to the Cat. "Why did you kill him?"
"I killed him to teach him a lesson. He talks too much. Next time he will keep his words to himself."
By this time the three companions had walked a long distance. Suddenly, the Fox stopped in his tracks and, turning to the Marionette, said to him:
"Do you want to double your gold pieces?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you want one hundred, a thousand, two thousand gold pieces for your miserable five?"

, but how?"
"The way is very easy. Instead of returning home, come with us."
"And where will you take me?"
"To the City of Simple Simons."
Pinocchio thought a while and then said firmly:
Tired of reading? Add this page to your Bookmarks or Favorites and finish it later.
"No, I don't want to go. Home is near, and I'm going where Father is waiting for me. How unhappy he must be that I have not yet returned! I have been a bad son, and the Talking Cricket was right when he said that a disobedient boy cannot be happy in this world. I have learned this at my own expense. Even last night in the theater, when Fire Eater. . . Brrrr!!!!! . . . The shivers run up and down my back at the mere thought of it."

What is that house?" Pinocchio asked a little boy near him.
"Read the sign and you'll know."
"I'd like to read, but somehow I can't today."
"Oh, really? Then I'll read it to you. Know, then, that written in letters of fire I see the words: GREAT MARIONETTE THEATER.
"When did the show start?"
The Birth of Venus
It is starting now."
"And how much does one pay to get in?"
"Four pennies."
Pinocchio, who was wild with curiosity to know what was going on inside, lost all his pride and said to the boy shamelessly:
"Will you give me four pennies until tomorrow?"
"I'd give them to you gladly," answered the other, poking fun at him, "but just now I can't give them to you."
"For the price of four pennies, I'll sell you my coat."

“是谁呀,出来。躲躲藏藏,没风度。”我狂笑着叫。
十四慢慢踱了出来,脸上全是笑意。“你这个疯丫头,一直不得空来教训你,你是越发放肆了。”
仗着酒意,我斜瞟着胤禵。“你想怎么教训?”全然没有注意到,眼神竟然是那样的,媚。
“你醉了,不能再喝了。”抢走我手里的杯子,十四的语气与往日全不相同。

“美酒加咖啡
我只喝这一杯
想起了过去
又喝了第二杯
明知道爱情像流水
管他去爱谁
我要美酒加咖啡

婉转低徊地唱着歌,我……醉倒了。
半夜突然醒来,酒醉后遗症之一,口渴。
我朦朦胧胧地起来,想去桌上倒水喝,却发现身边躺着一人。是淑玲吧,小丫头一定也醉了。
翻过她我准备下床,却被一把拉回去,随即,一个身子覆上了我。
“你不是淑玲?你是谁?你……”一张温热的唇堵住了我所有的疑问。 The Birth of Venus

尘芳听了心中感慨万千,早乱了方寸,胡乱地应了便掀帘走出蒙古包。外面的剑柔和绵凝见她安然无恙的出来,皆松了口气。尘芳在回去的路上低头不语,忽听得:“你这是跑哪里去了?让我好找!”原来是胤禟正迎面走来。
尘芳心中一动,扑到他怀里抽泣道:“阿九!我好高兴!我今日真的好高兴啊!”
胤禟听她唤着自己的乳名,不禁柔声道:“这是怎么了?是何事竟能让我的梅儿都喜极而泣了?”
尘芳埋在他胸前道:“今日我找回了,我曾以为已经永远失去的珍贵东西。我现在才知道老天爷是公平的,失之东偶,收之桑榆。”

胤禟笑道:“这是自然的。就象从前我第一次随皇阿玛巡幸塞外,到了察哈尔的第一天便又遇到了你。老天爷真的很会卖关子!”
康熙三十九年的初春,察哈尔的草原因为当今皇上的巡幸而分外热闹。尘芳的阿玛董鄂七十现任察哈尔的协领,御驾亲临,自然要随侍侯左右。董鄂七十近年来患上了痛风之症,常有发作,尘芳因怕下人服侍不周,便住进了巡幸的蒙古包群,亲自在阿玛身边服侍。这日,董鄂七十刚出门伴驾去,尘芳从些熟悉气候的老人口中知道,过两日便有场大雪,便急忙赶回去想多翻两床被子。

“哼,我就不信,世子爷就能为了这条破鱼把我赶出去不成?”金多多似乎觉得玲珑是在给她撑腰,口气更硬了。
“姑娘,那鱼快死了!”苏雪琴身边的丫环指着簸箕里的鱼叫道。原来刚才那个丫环还捧着簸箕蹲在池子边,簸箕里的锦鲤扑腾的次数已经越来越少了。
“你还不快把它放回池子里!”苏雪琴厉声说道。
“不准放!”金多多的气势也不逊色。
“你想让世子爷罚你吗?”苏雪琴根本不理会金多多。

“翠浓,想清楚谁才是你的主子。”

苏雪琴身边的丫环想上前帮忙,却又插不进去。玲珑只是口中劝慰,身形却是丝毫未动。翠微闭着眼睛想装作没看见,因为小姐说过她要是敢动就不要她了。
苏雪琴只觉得今日自个的风雅全被毁了,可事到如今也无法撒手,想着能把这鱼给抢下来也就出气了,于是更使劲地往怀里拉。

张扬的、不作伪的笑颜,令朕……有一时迷惑。她只能说是漂亮的,但比起朕后宫里的女人,显然没有她们那般惊艳的美。皇姐也不同往日,不再有高高在上的骄傲,竟全无掩饰地开心,朕很惊讶。
看到那张表情丰富的小脸,朕就忍不住想看看,她到底能令朕惊奇到什么程度。虽然朕尚书房里还有成堆的公务在等朕去料理,但是朕仍提议皇姐出去吃粥,那张小脸果然没让朕失望,瞬间五颜六色

笑了一回,信步走到窗前的梳妆台前,只见铜镜里显出的神采奕奕的女子面容,俨然同前世一模一样。心道:果然有因便有果,我和她,本身还是有部分因素相似的。还好,这双曾被薇薇戏称为“关之琳电眼”的灵动大眼睛还在,虽然不是倾国倾城,好歹也称得上漂亮二字。只可惜这下红颜祸水是做不成了!
只听得窗外隐约传来说话声,顿了顿,举步走到外间起居室,原来声音是从外边廊下传来。我站在门口,看见一红一绿两个梳着双螺髻的俏人儿站在廊下阳光里悄声谈话。
正准备开口询问,面对我站着的那个着红装的姑娘抬眼见到我,惊喜地扑过来笑说:“小姐您醒了,太好了,您都睡了两天了,可把奴婢们急坏了。”那绿装姑娘也过来接口道:“小姐饿不饿?要不要奴婢给您端些点心吃?”我仔细一看,大吃一惊,原来这两个姑娘居然长得一模一样,竟是双胞胎,都是一般绝色。区别只是着装不同,那红衣姑娘穿银红纱白绢里对襟衫,豆绿沿边金红马甲,白杭绢画拖裙子,粉红花罗高底鞋。绿衣姑娘穿柳绿绢对襟袄儿,浅蓝色水绸裙子,金红凤头高底鞋。且红衣声音清脆极速,绿衣语气低柔温和而已。

我们很多同学朋友都在这里工作,我也跑来看热闹,感受这里的气氛。
这几天也没有什么事可做,偶尔想起叶洋,便打他手机,没想到这小子正在啤酒城推销纪念品,叶洋在电话里说,“以风,快来吧,搭伙发财!”
我反正闲着没什么事,便索性去找他,一起营生。这样闲下来叶洋便请我喝酒吃饭,或者自己去上网,日子过得逍遥自在。
