惡搞：網民 vs 商業
- 「巴士判官」的啟示 Quote:從事件曝光到創意震盪後的「二次創作」，甚至商品化的過程，並沒有任何人士或組織主導，純粹是網友的自發性集體活動，並非一個有系統的創作團隊，卻分工仔細地造就百花盛放的
哀樂專欄
直到今天，我仍然不大了解副刊專欄對於一份報紙的意義。作為一名香港報紙的讀者，我會為了某些作家的專欄而長期訂閱一份報紙，董橋、陶傑、林行止、孔少林等名家的文字，我是非讀不可的。但作為一名在澳門寫作的專欄
The future of spam is advance fee fraud
These days I get very little spam, and what I do get is almost allphish email, stock touting, and advance fee fraud. Partly I'm lucky,but partly I've spent quite a lot of time working on our spam filters.
A lot of spam has relatively distinct characteristics that make it easyto filter. For example, there's a limit to how obfuscated spammers canmake URLs and still have people visit their websites, and there's onlyso many places that will host spammer

Where to find package inventories on Solaris 9
One of the jobs of a package management system is to keep track ofwhat files belong to what packages. Solaris 9 keeps this informationin a single plaintext file, /var/sadm/install/contents , completewith file ownership and permission data. The format is relativelyobvious; pkgmap(4) describes most of the bits, and here isanother reference. (My Solaris 9 install does not have a contents(4) manpage; I may be missing some package.)

Apple Evangelist 第一人
如果你自命是Apple超級擁躉但又不知道Guy Kawasaki是誰的話，你真的好打有限。
事實上，他正是當年Macintosh誕生之時的Marketing主腦之一，他也是矽谷商界掛著Evangelist銜頭的第一人。為了宣傳Apple這個品牌，令更多軟件發展商為Mac機寫軟件，他四出演講，
A Python limit I never expected to run into
I've known for a while that the Python interpreter has a few littleinternal limits and implementation quirks . I canaccept that; limits on the sizes of internal objects are not unexpected,and you have to draw the line somewhere.

(The limitation is on explicit arguments in the source code; you cancall functions with many more arguments if
鬼魅山房 – 形似神不似
《鬼魅山房》又是另一齣改編自遊戲的電影，原作是《Silent Hill》 (SH)。對於有玩過 SH 系列的人來說來，這齣戲很不錯地將原來遊戲裏的各種場景、怪物、音樂聲效都搬進去了，而且效果很不錯。但對於沒有玩過遊戲的人來說，這
穿越穿越！這次的主題是穿越。
梁文道問我的論文寫成怎樣，我說遇到了一些麻煩的事——受到了流行曲的滋擾，行進困難，他O咀。這確有點丟臉——在論文最後15日之時，昨日本來應該穿越論文結論，我卻去了試圖穿越陳奕迅——而且鍛羽而回，整晚沒
還未夠快
這幾天突然無比忙碌，事事親力親為是沒有可能的，事事不親力親為也是沒有可能的，矛盾啊!
周二又要上北京，今次是極速之旅，一切要在電光火石之間完成，似去決鬥多過似去開會。工作就是這樣。
周日在公司過了一個下午
