讓步

有一個學生,雖非上上之資,讀書卻非常用功,對哲學也很有興趣,去年選了知識論,這學期在上哲學方法,下學期還會選形上學,全都是我教的。我本來應該很樂意有這樣的一個學生,問題是,他是個死硬的基要派基督徒。


Superhero II

What about Spiderman?

Flexibility is the key . There is simply no other who can hop between the skyscrapers and climb walls with bare hands while at the same time not losing the combatability. (Ah, you must be thinking about the rubbery man in Fantastic 4 - stop that, he is by no chance comparable with the spider, especially when we are talking about speed and perhaps more importantly - visual elegance, haha.) I believe all fans of spiderman would agree, his design is simple, but you never get

地產霸權,之後

很多人推介《地產霸權》,據聞這本書再版又再版,在書展之中大放光芒,連報紙都要採訪。書名改得好。地產,近年成為香港公敵,首二字先聲奪人;霸權,符合群眾印象和敵意,是一本未看已經知道是正確的書。所以我猜很

我的看戲習慣


以下各點沒有priority之分,甚至有互相矛盾之嫌:

1. 先睹為快,上畫即看!

2. prefer看最夜那場,比較少人,亦少些不是認真看戲的人!

3. 不喜歡日光日白看戲,戲應是屬於夜晚的,而且既然在漆黑的戲院看戲,希望天色也是暗的

騙不了


從前,小孩子不聽教導,家長會虛構一個人物來恐嚇:“要是不乖乖聽話,就會有妖怪來找你。”妖怪也可以因應情況改稱為警察 、 惡叔叔,或者任何一個小朋友會害怕的人物。總之,當那些家長認為孩子不肯理會自己時,又或

好客

我頗好客,家裏經常有朋友和同事來看電影、開派對、喝下午茶、吃晚飯,當然多數是我主動請的,但有時則是較要好的朋友提議在我家搞聚會,我也絕少會說「不」。間中有朋友從遠方來探望我,即使不是特別相熟的,我都會

“Why I’m Quitting Tobacco”

\

「我決定戒煙。」

這句說話,假使出自你和我一個普通人口中,實行起來再難,說起來也很易。

但如果這是出自廣告公司的話,就非同少可。

當然,這其實是電視劇的虛構情節。

Directory link counts and a find trick

In the beginning, Unix directories were remarkably non-special. Oneof the ways that they were non-special is that connections betweendirectories were not special in any way; a directory entry for adirectory was just a hard link to the directory's inode, the same aswith any other sort of inode. This applied to the two special names . and .. too; each of them was a regular directory entry, the first ahard link to the directory itself and the second a hard link to


這個世界是不會變的



在忙亂的生活中,有時即使已很努力,還是會因為種種原因而感到失望。

以前總是覺得做好本分就好了,對得起自己就好了。不過當自己真的做得比較認真負責的時候,往往就會發現這個地方還真的有太多不認真不負責的人,而
