An interesting hardware mystery
As I've written about, I have a problem machine . I have recently had the opportunity to stopusing it as my office workstation and thus do some systematic testing onit, which has turned up some interesting yet mysterious results.
(It's remarkable but perhaps not surprising how much my mood has improved fromgetting a stable primary workstations and setting up these tests.)
The short summary is that the machine reliably crashes if I dosignificant disk activity and I am not running something thatburns up CPU.
Grandpa
I'm sentimental about many things concerning my grandpa: the memory of going out with him when I was young, the time when I went to his home every day to have wound dressing for his foot ulcer, the night I accompanied him to have foot amputation at the operation theatre, the scene of buying him beer (alas, by the doctor

Why I don't expect ARM-based netbooks to be a success
I saw yet another story recently on how low-powernetbooks are finally going to lead to ARM -based machinessuccessfully challenging the x86 hegemony in general purpose computers.As the story goes, netbook makers don't need much CPU power or to runWindows, but they do need very low power consumption, and so they willturn to Linux-based ARM machines.
This is a fine theory and a fine story, but I don't think it's going towork out in practice.

A. R. Murugadoss 在Kollywood (泰米爾語系電影區) 享負盛名, 取材自Christopher Nolan的《凶心人》(Memento), 有別於一般Bollywood電影只懂搬紙過紙. 《Memento》是Christopher Nolan的實驗, 質疑記憶的主觀性.《Ghajini》側重娛樂性, 將意念抽絲剝繭, 再賦予濃厚懸疑感, 案中有
Narrative momentum: what I learned from Naruto and One Piece
Once upon a time, I started watching both Naruto and One Piece ;since they were both well regarded shonen fighting shows, I expected toenjoy them more or less equally. Instead and rather to my surprise, Isoon lost interest in One Piece but kept watching Naruto for muchlonger. Afterwards, I spent some time thinking about why and what thedifference between the two shows was, because it was not as simple asdisliking one set of characters while liking the other.
I eventually decided that the crucial difference was
靜靜的生活
星期六日都會去掃墓，應該會有很多話會跟親戚說，因為平日有嘢都留番拜山先講，實情是我很少
銀絲卷
每次食銀絲卷都會想起兒時跟阿哥將D絲狂塞入鼻個窿，斗塞得多。
泡菜意大利粉, 爽到痺!《風塵三俠決戰地獄門》(The Good The Bad The Weird)
如果只能用一個字形容《風塵三俠決戰地獄門》(The Good The Bad The Weird), 本人的答案是: 爽!
上屆的《日式牛仔一品鍋》(Sukiyaki Western Django) 以惡攪意大利西部片和日式英語作綽頭. 戲是有趣, 但看後沒有深刻印象. 南韓也不約而同泡製一味
