The 'Add Comments' problem

There is one significant imperfection in my effort to give commentreaders as much context as possible : the 'AddComments' link itself is easily accessible without having read anycomments. The problem with this is that the people who are leavingcomments are exactly the people you most want to have all of thecontext.

But part of it is deliberate,because it's all about the context.

Specifically, I want people who read comments to have as much contextas possible, which means that I want them to

我的笨蛋表哥

我的笨蛋表哥

“Cousins are dangerous partners.” 這是托爾斯泰在《戰爭與和平》裡的一句話,說的就是表哥與表妹一起長大,容易互生情愫,墮入情網。當時歐洲皇室流行貴族通婚,以鞏固權力,表親聯婚十分普遍。歐洲數百年都出產不了多少個

The difference between a SAN and a cluster filesystem

Both SANs and cluster filesystems have multiple machines talking tomultiple shared disks that all of them can see. The difference is thatSANs are designed for a single machine to talk to a given disk at atime, while cluster filesystems allow multiple machines to talk to thedisk at once.

Which raises the big question: why do you need cluster filesystemsat all? Why can't multiple systems share a single disk without doinganything special?

There's two problems with shared disks: caches and coordinatingupdates. These


殺手蝴蝶夢 /My heart is that eternal rose


鍾鎮濤是殺手
王祖賢是殺手的情人
梁朝偉是暗戀王祖賢的小子

The Heartbreak Kid講個男主角閃電結婚和閃電變心 女士未必好喜歡 男士睇會好笑好多 編劇很大男人 但很多位都賤得有道理

中大情色怪談

還記得去年五月,淫審處未判中大就先去信警告學生,其後被全城追問又諸多推搪(見下文追溯),過後學生多次追問而校方不覆,臨考試突然又要成立「裁決小組」,跋前躓後,每個時機都捉錯,一間大學怎麼可以搞得這麼丟

What controls Red Hat Enterprise's ethN device names

Since I just went digging for this the other day , here's what I know about what controlswhat Ethernet devices get named on Red Hat Enteprise (and probablyalso on Fedora, but I haven't looked at my Fedora systems in thislevel of detail).

  • if kudzu is enabled, it uses /etc/sysconfig/hwconf to nameeverything. If there is no such file or the data in it doesn'tmatch current reality, various bad things happen.
