The changing assumptions about viruses in email

Once upon a time, back at the dawn of the virus age, viruses in emailtended to come from actual people innocently sending around infectedfiles. Somewhat later, they came from actual people having either theiroutgoing email modified by the virus or simply having their addressbooks pillaged by the virus, which also borrowed their mail client.

Back in those halcyon days, it made sense to do things like cleanviruses from messages (leaving the rest of the message intact) and toquarantine virus-contaminated email. When a


Things I got wrong in Darker Than Black - Gemini of the Meteor

As I mentioned before , I hada couple of speculations and theories about Gemini that I got completely wrong. Today I feel like writing them up (afterall, why waste my notes on them).

Note that there are spoilers here.

So, my misses:

  • I thought that Suo was not actually a contractor and thus did not have arenumeration. Having gotten Hei's power, sucked in by the stone andfocused through her own imagination, she just thought she had to bea contractor and so she

Review: St. Louis area Internet providers (Charter Cable, AT&T DSL, Clear Wireless)

Charter, AT&T and Clear - Logos

For the past eight years, I've been bouncing back and forth from one ISP to another, trying to find one that actually feels worth the load of money I pay for it.

I've used a variety of services from both of the main St. Louis area providers ( AT&T and Charter Communications ), and am testing Clear wireless (a new game in town, but one that's been around in Chicago and other larger cities for a year or more). I've paid


20.30.40.男人

萬眾期待的下集 —— 「20.30.40.男人」終於出場啦~~~

是萬眾期待還是我好期待?不緊要,娛人娛己囉。

當成是趁這難得的機會,公器私用,反正,我是女人,不知多渴望知道20、30及40 age group的男人,想要怎

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
