Hosted servers, cloud computing, and backups

For all that we roll our eyes when people have only online backups or redundancy andsuffer data loss as a result of it, I don't think it's necessarilyas easy to do things the 'right' way as we make it sound, or evenfeasible at all in some situations.

Suppose that you are a modern, efficient Internet-based business, andso you are running your servers the smart way; instead of buildingyour own machine room in a corner of your office space and bringing in

扔石頭的人

小時候讀《聖經》,有個故事說一個犯了罪的婦人被帶到耶穌跟前,押運的人要大家扔石頭砸死她。他們這樣做,是要令耶穌處於兩難境地,如果他同意處罰婦人,即是大家的同道,如果耶穌反對,此事就變成告他的把柄。耶穌

五個一夜情

一夜情的原則是,玩樂過開心過,然後揮揮手bye bye。

盡興而回,但千萬別說再見。

從來沒有別的方式。

只可惜,我沒有成功抽身而退,總是一次又一次延續下去,最後註定落得傷心。

One desk, no filing cabinet, and countless documents, letters, and manuscripts bumping together, frantic as atoms. On many days, I simply pull books out of a jumble of messy documents.

The two are quite similar
