Yesterday Google's Corporate Development and Chief Legal officer, David Drummond wrote an entry on his blog, announcing that Google would withdraw its business from China, if the two parties' negotiation fail.
Political censoring has hindered Google from competing against China-native search engine Baidu. Google sounds threatening and this withdrawal may cost both parties billions of dollars of lost. If negotiation fails, Google will probably re-locate its Asia business strategy to Taiwan.

I am very disappointed with phpBB team. Their team members are so double standard. While their own people proposing feature implementations, and have no problem with those, they would warn users not to jump ahead the schedule.
While there is no specific restriction or vision what they want since the beginning, they police my thoughts and ideas. I am totally sick of their tones and attitude. I was the first one asked people not to draw any tangent, and later they came back to lecture me.
What a shame to these experience software engineers. I am only a freshman in college, and I find myself a better engineer than they are. They tell users their expectations implicitly. They want to discuss archeiture, then please have the developers start the discussion first. Users' engineering experiences do not matter at all. It is about correcting the attitude.
They make users uncomfortable to give in. Users are penalize when their comments offend the developers even if they are facts. They police users' thoughts and ideas. I agree that we need to monitor every reply and to keep our discussions relevant to the subject, however, phpBB team does not let users know their expectations.

I discovered this testing today and I was very impressed with the overall result of what IE8 has from the 3 testings.
http://anandtech.com/mobile/showdoc.aspx?i=3636
The results are tested on 2 laptops and one netbook. Battery is critical today before buying a portable machine.
IE8 only top on the Intel Core T6500 result. But overall, while IE8 might not be the fastest browser and the best solution as a browser, the result does changes our general view on IE8. It has been optimized so well that is top along with Chrome, FireFox + Adblocks.
I do not see a reason running Adblocks to test FireFox in the beginning.
We also ran a test using Firefox with the AdBlock Plus add-on, which means the Flash advertisements didn't show up. The compromise there is that AdBlock requires more processing time up front in order to parse the HTML. Each test was done (at least) twice, taking the higher score of the runs.
In fact, they should do an extra testing for Firefox without running AdBlock. There is no need to do so but I think the users are interested in learning the differences. Safari remains lowest in all three cases but I am sure it will have a better power-saving performance under OS X.
To be fair, this testing was poorly done in one way.

Mr. Yao was a very helpful person. He gave me this command to to test:
1
2
| $ ssh -X 000.00.000.00 -l your_username
$ matlab |
Instead, the -| didn't work out so I changed it around. Now this worked.

好吧, 2009年來了. 不過我沒什麼心情, 反正日子都是這麼過, 不管是2008還是2009都一樣啦
不過博客的名字應該改一下, 而且風格也要改改只是沒有時間而已
先改改博客的名字
原本: FREEDOM 與眾不同 [2.0]
新名: 潮知已 Orz 瞧自己
其實意思沒什麼意思啦, 就是想Cool一下而已
不過覺得蠻不多, 找知已還是找自己??
反正我是一個愛情情聖, 而且是個大夢想家, 不如就隨隨便便的寫寫博客, 不必在意好啦
很快我也會再改改風格和分類等等其他的事情

這幾天還算好...星期四去了一天遊...跟我學校的日文老們和同學去的
明天再把照片放上來...今天有點累
星期五還好了...
星期六嘛...早上起床之後就要去college裡上課...考試...考完了...考個90分...算好呵呵
不過我朋友也說得對...下學期就沒有這種需要去上這種課了
反正它的課程我感不到興趣...
跟我想看做實驗....開刀...真實醫科的東西差得遠呢...
而且下學期我就要考SAT, SAT II
很有可能最少要miss 2堂課...那麼就沒意思去了....

今天FireFox終於更新至2.0.0.8, 更新之後我到官網看看更新內容
無意之中看到Mozilla Store, 進去之後覺得有些東西蠻好看的
(點擊網址和每個英文字都是連結啊!!!)
store.mozilla.org/category.php
比如說這幾件衣服很好看
I Click Firefox Ringer Tee (這個也是連結)
$16.95

JWXIE:
據說4秒內可以把整個4GB的DVD傳輸完畢
看看今天都擁有了45nm的四核心
八核心, 十六核心的CPU都將在未來幾年出來了....
到時候32nm, 21nm這樣子...科技是年年新啊!!!
Internet 2是我今天看報紙才知道, 不過網上找不到最近的..只找到2月份的....
看看我們在美國....企業也是在用T1, T2, 或者商用專線
那裡像人家美國太空總署...用的正是Internet2呢?
這麼快的速度...還怕HD格式嗎?
HD高清格式....一分鍾的影片就要100mb...
更何況是3小時的電影....60 x 3 x 100 = 18,000, 要一萬八千mb.
這麼大的檔案要用我們的Cable, DSL, 就算跑到一秒5mb...這也要十個小時以上啊....
有了2.0的出現...一般使用者都可以在短短2小時內完全可以下載一次, 甚至可以再下載一次
真他媽的希望我也能擁有2.0的技術啊....
在完成100Gbps乙太網路鏈路試驗後，Internet2聯盟並未坐等IEEE 802.3委員會推出標準草案；相反地，隸屬於Internet2聯盟的研究機構，即將對在2006年超級運算大會(SC06)上完成測試的10Gbps升級通道進行評估，並打算將其用於Internet2骨幹網路中。
