這條預告，當然有很多似曾相識的場面、劇情，不過換了人物、場地、音樂、角度，而出來的感覺也完全不一樣，就好像平平無奇的愛情片般。
這種預告片「不對調」的感覺之前在 The Departed 也有，不過結果這個版本也很不錯，拍得很
Shimming modules for testing (and fun)
Suppose that you have a chunk of Python code that wants to properlymap IP addresses to hostnames , and you wantto test this code to make sure that it actually works (especially withunit tests). In order to do this you need to contrive for various IPaddress and hostname lookups to fail in various ways, and to do thison command.
The easy way to do this is to exploit Python's freedom by shimming (well, replacing) the gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr() functions in the
現在，大家比較容易明白（reloaded）
朋友剪好了一條片，是5月1日在西洋菜南街的街頭劇行動，給大家看。片子比較沉重，也許是我那天不在場的緣故。但是剪得好的，有表達力，可以給國內朋友分享呀。現在，大家都會明白這是真切的關心。
American Gangster
這是一部非常長進的警匪片。
男主角是羅素高爾(Russell Crowe)和丹素華盛頓(Denzel Washington)，這個雙雄對決的組合，原來可以媲美羅拔廸尼路對阿爾柏仙奴，那種旗鼓相當，那種惺惺相惜，很久沒有在電影中出現了。

The risks of forcing frequent password changes
People can talk about the risks of not changing passwords at the dropof a hat, but they rarely talk about the risks of forcing people to gothrough frequent password changes. This matters a lot, because thereare significant risks.
(And when people do acknowledge the risks, often it is to decry or mockthe 'bad habits' that people adopt.)
The obvious problems are that people can't remember things at the dropof a hat just because you want them to, and people have trouble coming
Making a good Unix glue language
The problem with a search for alternatives to the Bourne shell is that the Bourne shell isstill one of the best Unix programming languages. Or perhaps it wouldbe clearer to call it a 'Unix glue language', a language for connectingexisting programs together.
You might sensibly ask what the problems are with things like Perl andPython as Unix glue languages, and my answer would be that they make ittoo hard to interact with external programs. This is important, becausethe way you write small programs fast on Unix

Times Square欺人太甚 齊來支持街頭藝人
香港公共空間管理之嚴，講起都羞家，不單示威遊行要警察批准，趕盡殺絕流動小販， 為普羅市民提供免費娛樂的街頭藝人，更被視為乞兒，經常被警察、康文署職員和保安驅逐。

Dear applications: WEP keys are not passwords
Every so often, I have the dubious pleasure of entering WEP keys in orderto get access to some wireless network around here. Invariably, theapplications treat the WEP key like a password, and has me type it in atext box where all the feedback I get is a ' * ' for each characterthat I type.
(We use WEP keys mostly as a way to keep random passers-by out. Notso random passers-by can crack the WEP key, at which point otherprecautions keep them
