Merry x'mas evey one!!


Greetings from Sydney, in a warm sunny x'mas day!

Short-Amazon (regular expression 版)

某天看到 Othree 寫了個 short-amazon 來縮短 Amazon 網址,我依樣葫蘆地試用 regular expression 的方式做一次:

A thesis: Sun should be prepared to give up on SPARC

One of the things that Sun is notable for is for basically being thelast general computer vendor standing with a non-x86 architecture.Without getting into the debate about the SPARC architecture's long andsomewhat questionable history, I think that Sun now really needs to beprepared to give up on SPARC.

心情


今年我們應該用什麼心情過聖誕?

耶穌的生日是否應該普天同慶當然可以有不同的意見,我們年年渲染年年消費年年溫馨年年大談平安夜有多少少女自願或非自願失身,多少有點偏離了慶賀耶穌出生的出發點,可見人類真是很會

Here is an example of what I mean:

害蟲與文明 – 地球停轉日

the day the earth stood still

去看《地球停轉日》前早有心理準備,加上人們以《強戰世界》相比之,所以心中大概有個底蘊。結果不負所望,故事意念其實不差,但說故事說得差。明顯偏重於特技場口,使得主要情節反欠缺說服力。
