剛剛看完一本舊的科幻小說《Blood Music》，這是一本與 NanoTech 和細胞學為主題的書。但結局不太明白，網上也好像找不到有人討論。解謎因子作祟，特此記下自己對結局的理解，並看看能否拋磚引玉。

Why charging for email won't do what people want
One of the common suggestions for fixing the email spam problem isto charge a small (often nominal) fee for email. Ignoring all of theproblems with implementing such a scheme, and ignoring all of the peoplewho would be violently against it, we can ask an important question:would it actually work?

Some lighttpd bits
Lighttpd is a popular lightweight webserver I've been experimenting with; in the process, I've woundup stumbling over various things that I should write down this time around (I played around with lighttpd about a year ago but then forgot a bunch of this stuff).
- unlike Apache, lighttpd's error log is global; there's only one, notone per virtual host. If you accidentally set

代理角色的轉變？
昨天去了 Open Knowledge 搞的《保護產權=保護創意？》民間諮詢會，不過其時間上好像不太夠，三位講者講完後的問答環節比較倉促，也在所難免地變成「訴苦」時間。

Please leave IOError and OSError alone
From Lawrence Oluyede's blog entry about recent Python SVN updates:
- urllib raises IOError if the servers response contains an invalidHTTP status line.
Augh. Wait, that's not strong enough, let me try again: AUGH .
In fact, it gets worse. To quote from the urrlib2 SVN sourcecode's comment about its URLError error class:

Weekly spam summary on March 31st, 2007
This week, we:
- got 12,348 messages from 259 different IP addresses.

- received 171,239 connections from at least 53,794 different IPaddresses.
- hit a highwater of 28 connections being checked at once.
Somewhat to my surprise, volume is down again from last week , although the concurrent connections highwateris up a lot.

An advantage of virtualization for license servers
One of the more subtle advantages of full hardware virtualization isthat your virtualized hardware always stays the same, no matter whatactual hardware you happen to be running on. This is a real advantagefor license servers, which are often nodelocked with various crazyschemes that assume you are trying to cheat on them if you changehardware.
