Silly Conversation lol

"Ya since you have finished your service(military service, a must-do in Taiwan), you should have another girlfriend, bro."

"Not necessary I think."

"What style you are looking for?"

"Maybe a mature one, more mature then me."

"Mental or age?"

"Mental I think."

"Mentally more mature then you? How could I say it is hard to find one?"

"It's not really easy..... hum... wait you are humbling me -o-"

First look of ubuntu 6.10

To replace my old Linux Fedora Core 5, I downloaded a copy of ubuntu 6.10(all of alphabets in its name are lowercase, interesting =) ). A full copy of it is about 3.5gb, and there is live CD function within. It's 3.5gb includes multiple language support, and some necessary(and also not a few unnecessary) component.

First looking is not bad, a beautiful loading screen. This distribution have a very nice looking loading GUI, clearly indicate each functions. Most common choice is install by it's Live CD(it makes computers run Linux without using any hard drive!), loading its full X86R2(the GUI system that Linux usually used... as known as XWindow), then run the install application. Apparently, as mostly people excepted, it is not effective compared to install via direct installation mode, but rather more friendly(really? I doubt it =) ). It took me almost 40 minutes to complete the installing process(3.5gb is a fatty guy), and a few options can be choose. All right, like other distribution of Linux, remove the CD, reboot, and so on. We are entering a formal ubuntu now.

ubuntu's OS loader is modified grub, and I think it is a bad modification. GUIs in ubuntu have only one kind : Gnome. Fedora Core have KDE TDM Gnome....etc, but ubuntu have only one kind. "All Gnome in the world are the same Gnome" it goes, so the Gnome in ubuntu is excepted approximately similar to one in FC. Ok let's start settle up networking.

Wait, where the hell to make the network establishing?

Manage==>Network have some choice to let you access your network card, but there is no place to let you setting up the DSL! I was lucky to have another networked NB by side, go to FAQ at Taiwan ubuntu organization and finally I know the command is "sudo pppoeconf", and the FAQ is so kind to tell you where can you get GUI network manage tool... but connecting to the site is pre-required(lol) -- how could you get these information to set up pppoe, without knowing how to set up pppoe?

We will talk about console in the next day =) I need some time to get familiar to ubuntu...

Wicked Trick is played in this election.

These two controversial snapshot of blog which is published by a candidate who is to run for Kao-Shung Mayor Election. Both of theirs left side, where the part of monochrome with the people with twisted face, is referring to people lives in Taipei(台北人, as it referred.), and the color side is referred people live in Kaoshung(高雄人, as it referred.) . The most controversial part is, therefore, left side is be emphasized referring to the riot which against president Chen. And, it is her (or supported by her supporter?) blog : 陳菊部落格, and this page of blog also fall in to the storm of argument http://www.wretch.cc/blog/kikuchen&article_id=6448687 .

I am not sure what these advertisement supposed to be, it is not only recently that DPP have played the trick of north-east conflict issue, but also Taiwan-China conflict issues. Nevertheless, is it really necessary for DPP to win both two election -- even play such a shameless and dirty trick? Time will prove it, and elections afterward will prove it, too.

Chinese version is here, and her official website with this advertisement is here.

P.S. The blog entry to this advertisement is fixed, and deleted the controversial part. And the candidate's official site is in maintaining now, fixing the same part is excepted. Anyway, this trick is no doubt a dirty dot in Taiwan's election history, and we have witnessed it.

Problem : Calculator with "Unlimited Digit"

Required : A solution that does

1. Basic ability of calculation, like + - * /(and only required these for now)
2. UNLIMITED digit input required.
3. Use digit array only(ex. int a[n];)

Current progress:

• Solving the problem at data input.

Current problem:

• Read a single digit at console.
  

Future Reading of Dan Brown

I've bought 2 of Dan Brown's novel just, "Digital Fortress" and "Angels and Demons" -- preface of "Da Vinci Code". It cost me 280 NTD each, and considering of its original price 7.99 USD, it's surely not expensive.

Digital Fortress, a novel scripting the conflict of national security and personal freedom in networks. NSA (a.k.a. National Security Agency?) have code-breaking machine encounters a mysterious code it cannot break, and called cryptographer Susan Fletcher(In Dan's novel, cryptographers usually are beautiful women =P) for help, while NSA is threated by someone.

Angels and Demons, as the preface of Da Vinci Code, Robert Langdon is still holding the leading role :) (I had supposed Jackque, the curator died in Da Vinci Code, will play such a role.) The cover of it is printed : Robert Langdon's First Adventure.

I will have a article after read each.

After the reading of Da Vinci Code

First, I must admit that I am deeply impressed by Dan Brown's way to create a "block of text" to describe a entire view. In total 483 pages, the time only pass "one night and half day" (|||). By ornate and gorgeous vocabulary, he constructed a detailed model of his huge imagenational and notional world. Indeed, it is a feature of his writing, but it also caused difficulty and (someone might take it as) boring. By the insertion between reality and virtual, thus Opus Dai, Priory of Sion, even Vatican His Holiess itself involved, Dan Brown knitted a "Circine" world to addict readers.

And as the same sake, this masterpiece is controversial.

Not even Vatican, it surely need not to discuss, but Opus Dei is a truely exist organization. In this writing, they were described as a murder, defender and zealot toward the Goddess Worship(in this book as "Pagan"), taking wrong method to against pagans, even worst then mid-age Churchism. In fact, I have no way to know whether Opus Dei is, but what Vatican itself does in our true world. In other words, it is very hard to tell which is true or false which is written in. This book use lot's of disputable example(we can know Dan's describe of some of Da Vinci's masterpiece is right, but we can not truely assure that Da Vinci was just thinking in the same way as this book describe). No matter it is so controversial.... Fake and true, who can tell us?

Vocabulary used in this book is also a feature. Numerous of splendid words used, and over-description is assured. For non-English-native readers, it is not only make a huge difficulty to read but make it intoleratable. Non-sense and unnecessary words, which only used to describe a single event, are too exploited. Maybe it is his writing habit and advantage for somebody, but also a disadvantage for someones(somebody like me lol). His exploiting describe to many events, slow the pace of the reading, and annoying to me :(.

There is another point I must claim, and it is also a dificient to me. Exploitting of coincide, a horrible numberous within -- Yes, "HORRIBLE". I know and I can interpret that it is supposed a imagenational novel, but exploiting of coincide is still a dot on a paper--and it is not a tiny dot. I am truely shocked by the identification of "The Teacher", but rather then a feeling of "Ahhh that he is! Why I ignored it before!?", I feel "Ahhhhhhhh How could such coincide happen so many time!".

Da Vinci Code is really a masterpiece, even with some deficient, its no matter. It's still commendatory, not only its structure, but his expertise writing leading readers in his world =).
