緣起緣滅 方死方生
緣起緣滅，方死方生。 看《愛在你左右》( Mother and Child )，Rodrigo García 導演，由《巴別塔》《21克》導演艾力謝路依拿力圖 (Alejandro González Iñárritu) 監製，有著他標籤的三段式結構：三個獨立的故事，出生、遺棄、死
What we (currently) use virtualization for
I've pulled this out of Random's comment on yesterday's entry :
[...] but I stop short of doing everything on virtual machines,which I think you do more of.
Although I may have accidentally left people with a differentimpression, right now we're actually not using virtualization forvery much. We have one virtualization host machine, and on it wecurrently run only three virtual machines: two Windows imagesand a small Linux machine that forwards some low-priority email .
民主的限制
今天是美國中期選舉，又一次提醒我民主政治制度的限制。我這樣說，不是由於自己支持的政黨或候選人失利（雖然事實是如此），而是由於眼見各政客無所不用其極、各大小利益團體無孔不入、和到處都是愚夫愚婦受政治宣傳
One reason that I call us a midsized environment
I mentioned earlier that I have a number of reasons tocall us a midsized environment. One of them is how we need to run ourenvironment, in that we are in the middle between two extremes of howto deal with systems.
On the one hand, we are sufficiently large that you don't want to dothings by hand and it makes sense to automate at least some things.We've long since grown past the point where all of our machines could beset up separately or run individually (

只可惜，我們的工作總都是盲著地忙
印度男兒本色 《Dabangg》(暴烈刑警)
看印片, 我絕少會選擇「 Salman Khan 系」的電影. 除了寶萊塢版「真情」《 Hum Aapke Hain Kaun! 》(1994) 及與前度女友 Aishwarya Rai 合作的《 Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam 》(Straight from my heart, 1999) 外, 對Salman Khan向來避之則吉.
Salman Khan與Shahrukh Khan、 Aamir Khan合稱「寶萊塢三更」
Abortion III
I advocate legal abortion being implemented does not mean I agree with the very act of abortion.
Personally, I choose to consider life begins as a sperm first enters an egg, there might not be a scientic explanation, but you can't deny the symbolic meaning of it - a vivid illustration of how two lifes fuse together. It is not a morality judgement that lead me away from abortion, it is simply a personal uneasiness in making this decision.
Deciding to go for abortion needs just a moment, but I
