我会努力做一只快乐孤独的小猪：饥来吃饭，困来即眠！
开始这个blog也有些日子了，现在准备打个包，重心转移到blogger.com上去。
新改版的blogger.com用着挺爽，google毕竟是google，值得支一把。
So, this blog will rarely be updated!
Check the new site Chinese guys & English speakers!
These two will definitely not match, I don’t do translations!
LAL对SA，太帅了。Lakers整场比赛领先，第四节却被Spurs追平。
终场前11s时Bryant跳投领先，可是Duncan却也在身体失去平衡的情况下远投中的；
最后0.4s，两队共4次Timeout，Lakers才终于用Fisher投进了制胜一球，cool！
不过我还是比较喜欢Spurs，sigh，觉得已经废了。
最近实在是狂倒霉，不承认自己人品有问题都不行。
昨天不但实验室重装系统，回宿舍发现宿舍机子也彻底down了。
好不容易进去，却发现爆多的坏道，吓得我今天赶紧买盘准备连夜备份。
伤了，老天爷不用这么整我吧，大大小小的事情，你已经证明你够强悍了！
Both legitimate and unlicensed users of Microsoft’s XP operating system software will be able to download the Service Pack 2 security patch for free
Microsoft’s increasing concern over information security has translated into its decision to bite the bullet and make its upcoming SP2 (Service Pack 2) security patch available to all users - including those using pirated copies of its Windows XP software.
“We haven’t explicitly done anything to SP2 to exclude it from pirated copies,” said Microsoft group product manager Barry Goffe. The United States-based executive was interviewed via telephone.
This is unlike SP1 (Service Pack 1), which had features to prevent users with pirated copies from downloading it. In SP2’s case, the mammoth 80MB to 250MB patch can be downloaded and installed on computers running both legitimate and pirated copies.
Users can also request a free CD copy of SP2, although shipping charges could apply, something which the company has yet to finalise, said Mr Goffe.
“It was a tough choice, but we finally decided that even if someone has pirated copy of Windows, it is more important to keep him safe than it is to be concerned about the revenue issue,” he added.
He admitted, however, that it is more than altruism that helped Microsoft come to this decision.
“Having these unsecured users means bigger worm and virus outbreaks - which also impacts the Internet and consequently, our legitimate users as well.”
The most visible changes SP2 will introduce to XP is the new Windows Firewall, a renamed, upgraded version of the ICF (Internet Connection Firewall) firewall system that shipped with the original Windows XP, and the new aggressive attitude towards security updates and controls.
Unlike ICF, Windows Firewall is turned on by default, and automatically locks up ports like DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model) popular among worm-writers.
New technology allows it to dynamically open and close ports on demand. For example, when an approved online gaming application is given permission to send or receive data over the Net, the port is opened for it, and when the application shuts down, the port is closed.
“We wanted a firewall good enough for most consumers’ needs, and we believe Windows Firewall is it,” said Mr Goffe.
SP2 will also make XP more aggressive towards sloppy users. For example, features like the automatic patch updating feature or Windows Firewall will no longer go away quietly if ignored, and will continue to pester users to download new patches periodically. To balance this, the company is working on coming up with more user-friendly warnings and reports of any suspicious activities that occur.
Besides these two changes, there are many other under-the-hood security features aimed at “stopping malicious code like worms, phishing attacks like websites that hijack web browsers to trick users into giving out personal information, and improving security against the buffer overrun attacks favoured by virus-writers,” said Mr Goffe.
Other than security-related upgrades, SP2 also introduces a much-awaited anti-pop-up ad feature, and is integrated with the Internet Explorer Web browser to allow users to stop pop-ups that the user did not explicitly request.
The service pack is scheduled for a “first half of 2004″ launch date, and the company is currently testing its first release candidate or RC1. There is expected to be at least another release candidate tested before the actual patch release.
Meanwhile, Mr Goffe noted that pirate users should not assume that the change of heart in SP2 means that Microsoft is going soft on piracy.
“We have and are developing new technologies to combat piracy for our software, but for SP2 we’ll make one exception.”
也不知道真的假的，来源：Computer Times
不禁想起，当你做一件事情的时候，如果明知道将要失败，那你还会去做吗？
我不是指那些你根本不在乎输赢的事情，比如参加友谊赛，玩游戏什么的；
也不是指那些看似豪情万千的所谓“明知不可为而为”的事情；
而是指更一般的却可能影响你一生的事情，比如爱情、比如理想。
难道真的因为不可能有结果就放弃自己如此渴望的美好时光，放弃自己如此执著的理想？
提前看到不可更改的结局，是幸福还是悲哀？
极端一点，设想你掉进了一个无底洞，一个真正意义上的无底洞，
你清楚地知道没有任何办法可以逃出去，但是却可以靠着洞旁边长的食物为生。
从此，你剩余的人生将在无止境的下落中度过，直至衰老并且死亡。
那么你是选择吃着食物继续生存直至最后一日，还是选择绝食提前结束自己的生命？
此时只要拥有一点希望，哪怕是何其的虚无飘渺，也许就会选择坚持下来；
仰或在洞的四周摆些新奇的东西，使每天的生活有些意思，也许也能坚持下来；
更甚或全世界的人都掉进了这个洞，也可能会选择坚持下来。
人生岂非正是如此？
有的人活着是因为始终没有放弃希望，甚至那希望已经延续到未知的将来，“总有人能逃出去的”他想；
有的人活着只是为了欣赏洞边古怪的东西带来的新奇，尝试各种各样的事物；
而有的人活着只是因为其他人都还活着。
Hope. It is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength and your greatest weakness.
今晚月全食，决定看看去！
5月5日月食发生的整个过程是：
北京时间2时48分初亏，月亮开始进入地球的黑影，发生圆亏变化；
3时52分食既，月亮全部进入地球的黑影，红月开始浮现；
4时30分食甚，月亮进入离地球黑影中心最近处；
5时08分生光，月亮开始离开地球的黑影；
6时12分复圆，月全食结束，一轮满月重现天空。
天是透明的 因为雨慢慢的停了
因为风轻轻吹着 所以我想念你了
心是透明的 因为我不想隐藏了
因为决定爱你了 所以你别再怀疑了
girl真爱你了 有你就无求了
若今后有选择 我仍是专一的
girl真爱你了 拥有就无求了
若还有舍不得 就是与你分隔
天是透明的 因为黑夜已过去了
因为你对我笑了 所以想念很快乐
心是透明的 因为有你永远陪着
因为你决定爱了 所以等待也是值得
girl真爱你了 有你就无求了
若今后有选择 我仍是专一的
girl真爱你了 拥有就无求了
若还有舍不得 就是与你分隔
纵然只是一刻百年似的my girl
愿你听着这一首歌
