大處著眼

《中大學生報》文章〈情到濃時不如開房〉(下稱〈情〉),受《東方》、《太陽》、《明報》和《星島》報道。這次沒有05 年情色版事件鬧得那麼大,也許是因為道德塔利班沒出手。除了《東方》《太陽》的專欄作家聯手攻

服從

服從程度,人人不同。服從能力高者,一聽命令,毫不考慮,馬上執行。服從能力低者,也許事事質疑,拖拖拉拉,或者樂於提出自己的意見,從而展開討論,找出最好的路向和執行方法。

如果你是一位班主任,你會喜歡服從的

Pragmatic issues with hash verifiers for email messages

Suppose that you have a 'sender stores message' email system, and thatyou protect yourself against the sender rewriting the message after it'sinitially sent by sending and verifying a secure hash of the messagebefore you show the message to the user.

搜尋器小劇場

有搜尋「 64事件是谁发动的 」者來到本blog。這個問題的發問方式彷如來自另一次元,令我想起「一小撮不明真相的群眾」這個詞。為什麼不相信群眾運動的自發本質?這到底是必有「幕後黑手」的動亂式官方想像,還是陳勝吳

The problems of over-documenting things
