如果大家在工作時，常常需要進行 Copy and Paste 的工作，必然會疲於在不同視窗之間奔走，將文字、圖片、檔案等等抄來抄去。因為 Windows 本身的 Copy and Paste 的 Slot 只有一個，所以每次只能抄一次。

Tools versus frontends in systems programs
I feel that people writing programs for system administration shouldbe forced to make a choice: are you writing a tool or a frontend?'Both' is not a good answer, because nine times out of ten that leadsto a program that does neither very well and irritates everyone,leading to things like Friday's entry on why apt-get is notmy favorite program.
A system administration tool is is a reusable building block, part ofthe larger system. It's designed to be easily used by
Google 的火狐工具列
Google 最近終於正式推出 Official 的 Firefox Google Toolbar ，的確是遲了點，不過遲到好過無到。不過，對我來說， Firefox 裏面的搜尋欄已經夠用了，安裝 Google Toolbar 的唯一目的，就是可以安裝 Translator，只要將滑鼠放在字上就可以了，而且速度不錯，反應夠快。

The minimum antispam features of a modern SMTP server
I have a machine running Debian's 'Woody' release. Debian Woody isseveral years old and uses Exim 3 as its (normal) mailer. Exim 3unfortunately doesn't have many anti-spam features.
Exim 3's lack of antispam features combined with spammers vigorouslyfinding some email addresses on the machine has been giving me lots ofopportunities to a) experience semi-normal Internet spam life (eugh,says I), b) grind my teeth a lot, and c) contemplate what anti
來自地獄的新娘 Corpse Bride 新預告片
Tim Burton 的新片 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 要在下個星期上畫時，我們有他第二齣的逐格動畫 Corpse Bride 的 新預告片 。如果大家喜歡 怪誕城之夜 The Nightmare before Christmas 的話，或許會喜歡這一齣，因為又再是 Gothic 風格，又再是 Johnny Depp (配音) ，又再是奇怪黑色的故事，有點炒

七月必殺
回科大借書時遇見了老細。本來說好了七月前給她論文浪漫主義的部分。我以一貫帶著慌亂的嬉皮笑臉說，又失敗了。美麗的老細臉色一變。說，我明天走了，八月初給我吧，八月初。前所未有的一變。 看來，第五年畢竟是第五
What RSS can learn from Usenet
If you look at it in the right light RSS is a lot like Usenet, withRSS feeds taking the place of newsgroups and entries taking the paceof articles. And they both have similar issues of organizing,selecting, and filtering massive amounts of information.
