最近看 Malcom Galdwin 的《Outliers》有一段我覺得很簡單地形容了本書要旨 (大意)：
生物學家愛談「生態」：最高的橡樹之所以長得高，並非只因種子夠堅硬，也因為無樹遮光、泥土豐厚、無兔咬食、無人砍伐。我們皆知成功者種子堅實，但
The limitation of templates for web design changes
Given that DWiki is template-based, in theory I could fix my commentform design mistake from yesterday. All I would haveto do is revise the 'write a comment' template that's used here so thatit included the entry and the existing comment, as well as a preview ofyour new comment and the comment entry form itself.
Except not so fast, because this revised version would be a usabilitydisaster as I've described it. The problem is that all of the links tothe '
公平社會 – Outliers
Blame
When the phrase of foul language broadcasted lively in TVB news, nobody would lodge a compliant on it - simply, it ventilated all our anger and disappointment, seeing the professional SWAT team in operation.
Apart from the word stone-aged, I cannot find another that could better be used in describing the entire rescue process. Going without helmets, staying in cross-fire positions, hammering windows with hostages inside. Gosh, for God's sake, if we were allowed to send our local team there, things can

Mamiya 645 pro tl+mamiya 200 2.8+fuji業務用片
這次出片的滿意好少，沒法，200真的難找東西拍，一來目標又沒鎖定，二來，都是第一次用，測試性質，有機會侮辱了這一支mamiya的銘鏡。
白色的長鏡，接在mamiya 645 pro tl機身上的注目度可謂100%。不過真的重，手震呀.
別人的生死
香港旅行團在菲律賓被槍手挾持，最後人質中九人死亡、六人受傷，事件長達十小時，香港傳媒全程直播；看到菲律賓警方如何笨拙無能、全無策略可言，實在不能不破口大罵、憤慨難平。
如此令人神傷的慘事，我沒有心情高談

A design mistake in my comments form
It's slowly become obvious to me that one of the mistakes with the'add a comment' form here on WanderingThoughts is that it doesn'tshow you the entry and existing comments. I know, a while back I thought that this was a good idea, but I'vechanged my mind since then; it's a design mistake.
Why I know this is pretty simple; I base it on personal experience.Whenever I write a comment myself, I invariably wind up with two windowsopen
拯救人質真的可以有很多辦法
昨晚 菲律賓發生的慘劇 令大家無法不面對很多問題
例如我們外遊究竟有什麼保障
例如我們在外地出事時可以有多無助
例如我們為什麼討厭暴力也會祟尚暴力
昨晚的事也許令很多人都不開心
昨晚的事也許令大家改變了對菲律賓人的

再活一次
近日讀了一本關於尼采的書，讀得頗過癮，那就是普林斯頓哲學教授 Alexander Nehamas 寫的 Nietzsche: Life as Literature 。我不懂尼采的哲學，以前看過兩三本他的著作，不過都沒有甚麼得著；Nehamas這本書對尼采的詮釋，我是無能力判斷對錯的。然而，無論Nehamas的
My (probably wrong) assumption about Flash on Fedora
In hindsight, it is somewhat peculiar that I spent a considerable timeusing Fedora 11 with a broken Flash setup instead of seriously lookinginto the situation. What happened is that I made a simple assumption: Iassumed that Flash and the associated infrastructure needed to run it ona 64-bit machine were second class citizens, looked down on and basicallyunsupported.
If I'd assumed that Fedora wouldn't leave Flash broken on 64-bitmachines, then it being broken on my machine was clearly
