地獄照回歸！原因大家都知道
一星期內一定要修改好論文。美麗老細指示了幾個新概念。接近等於重寫「幽默」和商品化。 下面那篇長文，就當是鹹魚慢慢送飯吧。

Idealist versus Realist
The idealist sees events as the result of grand strategies and grandmovements, while the realist sees events as the result of local,lower-level tactical decisions.
Most conspiracy theories are necessarily idealist. Theaphorism 'never attribute to malice that which is adequatelyexplained by stupidity' (sometimes called Hanlon's Razor ) is a realist position.
This says nothing about who is right; sometimes there are conspiracies,but sometimes there are not. (And sometimes there are both local tacticalreasons for things and grand plans;
The quick secret to bootable USB keys
We got asked this in email recently, so I am going to throwmy answer up here: the quick secret of making bootable USB keys is to know that USB keys are hard drives.
The person who asked the question described what they'd done as:
In short, I've copied the files from the isolinux directory on theinstallation CD to the USB drive, renamed isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg,erased isolinux.bin, unmounted the USB drive, and runsyslinux /dev/sda1

和人大吵的時候，對方說「道歉對你而言是沒有意義的」，我心想你小子怎麼知道，我和你可沒那麼熟。後來我找到了這段書鈔：
然而，「抱歉」是多麼詭異而歧異的一個語彙，所有的抱歉之語（對不起、我錯了、失禮、請見諒
The fun of 32-bit bugs
As computers (and disk space, and memory, and etc etc) get larger, thequantities that we deal with routinely get bigger too. And when they getbigger, fun things start happening.
Today's fun thing was that I doing some measurements of disk IO speed ona machine with 2 gigabytes of memory. My usual rule of thumb is to workon at least twice the amount of main memory to crush cache effects, whichmeant I was telling my benchmarking program to read and write 4 GB.

曖昧的網上言論．曖昧的我們
曾幾何時，表達自己的想法對澳門人來說是不可思議的事：遇到冤屈要找有權勢的人士代為出頭，看到不公平的事習慣隻眼開隻眼閉，最離譜的是越有學識的人，越不肯發表自己對事物的看法，據說是為怕“見光死”，致使有很

Hardware RAID versus software RAID
Here's a good argument-starting question: which is faster and/orbetter, hardware RAID or software RAID?
A lot of conventional wisdom says hardware RAID, but I mostly disagree.Let's ask the inverse question: how (or when) can hardware RAID befaster than software RAID?
If you're doing RAID-5, the hardware could do XOR faster than your CPUcan. But in modern systems XOR performance is pretty much constrainedby the memory bandwidth, not CPU power. It
