迷和信

繼幾個月前神棍騙少女性交的案件後,香港昨天又有類似的報導:一中年女人為某「法師」所惑,多次與他性交以「增陽氣」,並乖乖奉上150萬港元。這次的案情似乎更「精彩」,因為涉及貪財和魔術表演。

A theory about Apple's new iPad

Like a lot of other people, I'm not very interested in the iPadmyself for all of the obvious reasons for an open source personwho likes doing random things to his computers (see Tim Bray for arepresentative example). But I have a theory about what Appleis up to here, and it goes like this:

The problem with making computers for people who like computers is thatit


<她的回憶>

她追憶自己的成長,
如一隻信鴿追尋回歸的路。
她記起第一次上學,
老師外衣的顏色、
搖搖板、和媽媽的背影。
她記起一支殘舊的木結他,

Suppose, as a not entirely hypothetical example ,that you are signing some sort of web request with a bunch of (URL)parameters. In order to deal


iPad之唔係食咗超級Steroid後嘅iPod Touch?

哲學一招了

哲學以問題為根本,舉凡哲學書籍或文章,若只標榜所謂哲學體系、哲學總綱、哲學要訣、哲學妙諦、哲學殺着等等而未有將某一特定之哲學問題條分縷析者,皆可棄之如敝屣。(註一)(註二)

AT&T's mad unbundling and the damage it did to Unix

Once upon a time, AT&T had Unix, and Unix was big (by the standards ofthe time); it contained all sorts of things that made it useful. AT&Tdecided that it wanted to make as much money as possible from Unix,so it had a brilliant idea: it would sell a bunch of pieces of 'Unix'separately, as additional cost extras. After all, Unix systems wereprimarily used to run canned vendor-developed software (or at least AT&Tno


從來只有萬骨枯

這個社會很喜歡領袖訓練,甚至到了一個程度,領袖訓練是要每個月做一次,每個人都要參與,如果這個人看起來已經很像領袖,那麼他就要加強訓練,好發展他的才能,如果這個人看起來,不太能幹性格又陰沉,這就對了,他
