丰子恺的牛

闲来无事,在网上看《护生画集2》。就像序言中所说,跟第一集的风格果然不同。
丰子恺的画独有自己的风格,简单却很有神。不过,他画的牛真的很一般,乍一看好像跟猪马狗等其他四足动物没什么区别。牛角大概是角度没处理好,而牛的腿就完全画得跟马差不多了。也许是我看牛多过他老人家太多了,呵呵。

电影

这几天看的电影中,Deja Vu (谁知道这个名字的原意?) 和 Van Helsing 都很不错。
Deja Vu 有些科幻元素,主要是时空穿梭,跟 Minority Report 有些像。我一向自认聪明,却一直没法很透彻的理解时空穿梭这玩意儿,看来该读些理论物理的书。不过想对于电影主旨来说,这只是技术性的卖点。电影中犯罪嫌疑人对自己动机的阐述部分篇幅很少,我那会儿又犯困,所以其实没能理解。
而Van Helsing 就是讲述欧洲传奇故事的片子了,主旨和情节都没什么特别的地方,卖点就是讲故事,讲一个跟我们的神怪传说不同风格的故事。我觉得应该跟魔戒系列算一个类型。刚好前几天我看了国家地理(探索?不确认了。)一个探求吸血鬼真实性的片子,跟Van Helsing 联系起来看很不错。
还看了个娱乐片子The Code: Cleaner,很一般。

用不用Linux?

有人在自己的blog上说要放弃使用Linux作为开发平台-在经过几个月的试用以后-顺带给出了一堆解释,多数是跟windows作对比的。好多人评论支持,更多人评论辩驳。作者好像还对反对意见一一回应。
我觉得大家都没错,有自己的出发点和偏好而已。反而是其中表现出的心理因素值得玩味。
1,在使用windows没有不方便的情况下尝试Linux,具体原因可能有很多种。虚荣?跟风?不想盗版的精神洁癖?看到Linux即将红火而采用的实用主义态度?
2,尝试Linux之后退回windows,常见的很,也很容易理解。但是很多人愿意出来解释澄清抛弃Linux的原因,又是什么动机呢?枪手?酸葡萄?婊子立牌坊?给初学者的建议?
3,出声捍卫Linux的,又表现出什么心理呢?表现自己的水平?为自己的选择加砝码?推动Linux普及?揭露枪手?怀着唐吉柯德的心情跟微软对着干?
玩味是因为基本的经济人假设都解释不了这些现象,不过最简单的解释就是无聊吹水,大家找点东西吵吵罢了。
也要承认经济人的假设在解释具体现象的时候太过于简单,很显然力不从心。反正我自己折腾BSD就看不到任何现实利益,呵呵。也许INTP都不够实用主义。

CLF的坛衫

CLF要印版衫坛衫,我也凑热闹订了件坛衫。协调人挺负责的,临时又打算换供应商,然后又发邮件让我们确认size。这次的size要的奇怪,是胸围,我从来没测过的。让随便估一个对方也不同意,只好量一次了。
同学的尺子没找到,用张盗版xp的光盘量了件旧T-shirt,倒也不错。

和谐社会就是好!

blogspot也能访问了,FreeBSD也不死机了。和谐社会真是好!

翌日早上:昨天真是盲目乐观!睡觉前重启机器,不开X打算让rtorrent和boinc夜里工作。早上起来开显示器,正打算看看一夜工作的成果时,屏幕上显示的却是login的提示符。看时间,我睡觉后半个钟机器就罢工了,操!
不知道怎么查找死机原因,今天上论坛问问去。

我装的FreeBSD死机

६.1Release的时候装过一次FreeBSD,没少折腾。那时的网络驱动对NForce系列支持不好,我上网翻了好多地方才算基本搞掂那个NF410。说基本,是因为搞掂之后还时好时坏。६.2Release完全的解决了NF4的驱动问题,真不错!
刚好原来的Windows中毒,我也对FreeBSD稍微熟悉了,就干脆格了整块硬盘只装BSD一个OS。反正,Windows和杀毒软件都是没出钱的,我没有理由抱怨微软。
没想到,FreeBSD下竟遇到了死机的问题。
也不知道问题出在哪个部分哪个步骤,反正开始没有X的时候还挺好的,编译Xorg, Firefox等一堆软件总共几个小时都正常。暂时也没发现死机的规律,总之都是在启动后半个小时到一个小时之间。值得怀疑的对象是rtorrent和firefox,一个频繁访问网络和硬盘,另一个是资源消耗大户。死机自动重启以后再进入X,硬盘灯会亮上分把钟,接着才可以正常操作。只要你有耐心,半个小时后它又会罢工。呵呵
尝试着看了一下/var/लोग/messages,不大懂也没处下手。再后来想起一直超频使用机器,便去BIOS里面Load了一次Default。机器慢了不少,不过死机的情况好了一些。再次观察到死机只有一次,已经是启动后四五个小时了。
回去多观察一段时间,看这问题算不算解决了。
偶然发现,我们可以正常访问blogspot了。社会进步啊!

A code of conduct for bloggers and commenters

  • Be courteous.
  • Give accurate information in the spirit of being helpful.
  • Respectfully disagree.
  • Use the correct venue for your post.
  • Admit the possibility of fault and respect different points of views.
  • If you screw up, take responsibility for your actions।

The Blogger's Code of Conduct

We celebrate the blogosphere because it embraces frank and open conversation. But frankness does not have to mean lack of civility. We present this Blogger Code of Conduct in hopes that it helps create a culture that encourages both personal expression and constructive conversation. One can disagree without being disagreeable.

1. We take responsibility for our own words and reserve the right to restrict comments on our blog that do not conform to basic civility standards.

We are committed to the "Civility Enforced" standard: we strive to post high quality, acceptable content, and we will delete unacceptable comments.

We define unacceptable comments as anything included or linked to that:

  • is being used to abuse, harass, stalk, or threaten others
  • is libelous or knowingly false
  • infringes upon any copyright, trademark, trade secret or patent of any third party. (If you quote or excerpt someone's content, it is your responsibility to provide proper attribution to the original author. For a clear definition of proper attribution and fair use, please see The Electronic Frontier Foundation's Legal Guide for Bloggers.)
  • violates an obligation of confidentiality
  • violates the privacy of others

We define and determine what is "unacceptable content" on a case-by-case basis, and our definitions are not limited to this list. If we delete a comment or link, we will say so and explain why. [We reserve the right to change these standards at any time with no notice.]

2. We won't say anything online that we wouldn't say in person.

Unless we are trying to protect a confidential source, in which case, we may omit certain private details or otherwise obfuscate the source of the information.

Unless in real life you would face physical intimidation, whereas online you could avoid it.

3. If tensions escalate, we will connect privately before we respond publicly.

When we encounter conflicts and misrepresentation in the blogosphere, we make every effort to talk privately and directly to the person(s) involved--or find an intermediary who can do so--before we publish any posts or comments about the issue. Bloggers are encouraged to engage in online mediation of unresolved disputes. Mediate.com will provide mediators.

4. When we believe someone is unfairly attacking another, we will take considered action.

When someone who is publishing comments or blog postings that are offensive, we'll tell them so (privately, if possible) and ask them to publicly make amends, unless it is considered that doing so will only inflame or worsen the situation. If those published comments could be construed as a threat or of an illegal nature, and the perpetrator doesn't withdraw them and apologize, we will cooperate with local law enforcement regarding those comments and/or postings.

5. We do not allow anonymous comments.

We require commenters to supply a valid email address before they can post, though we allow commenters to identify themselves with an alias, rather than their real name.

(For discussion on this please visit the talk page.)

6. We ignore the trolls.

We prefer not to respond to nasty comments about us or our blog, as long as they don't veer into abuse or libel. We believe that feeding the trolls only encourages them -- "I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it. (George Bernard Shaw)" Ignoring public attacks is often the best way to contain them.

7. We encourage blog hosts to enforce more vigorously their terms of service.

When bloggers engage in such flagrantly abusive behavior as creating impersonating sites to harass other bloggers they should take responsibility for their clients' behavior.
