防小人是全年無休的!

屎目奇今天又爆走了,他從中西美食溜出去,正當他在辛亥路旁思考著要不要過馬路時,好在前中西美食的員工正巧在附近看到了他,打緊電話到中西美食,這時我們才意識到這傢伙又再次偷溜了@@

我已經數不清楚屎目其究竟有幾次自咖啡廳或是中西美食偷溜出去,沒人知道他究竟是為了填飽那深如黑洞的肚子或是還是想要證明自己是個完自主獨立的個體。回想他有幾次鑽到貨車底下撿便當吃,還有一次他失蹤至隔天清晨4點鐘才自己走回到中西美食門口休息,唉~這傢伙真的越來越不老實了@@,陰險的很,要小心!

Muse – Exo-Poliotics

Open the skies over me,
I am waiting patiently,
I’ll wait for a sign.

As conspiracies unwind,
Will you slam shut,
Or free your mind,
or stay hypnotised.

When the Zetas fill the skies,
Will our leaders tell us why,
Fully loaded satellites,
will conquer nothing but our minds.

And I’ve waited patiently,
And I wait for the sign.

Carried through the centuries,
Secrets locked up,
And loaded on my back,
and it weighs me down.

When the Zetas fill the skies,
It’s just our leaders in disguise,
Fully loaded satellites,
will conquer nothing but our minds.

And I am waiting patiently,
And I’ll wait for the sign. (Yeah).
And I am waiting patiently,
I’ll wait for the sign

國家安全與人權、人民知的權利間的爭論

下載影片 (CNN Andeson Cooper 360 Podcast 5/13)

最近Obama可能會放棄將布希總統任監獄內的照片公佈出來(CNN下的標題FLIP-FLOP),對於這個議題節目中請來的兩位特別來賓,一位是ACLU的Amrit Singh,另外一位則是共和黨同時也是Mitt Romney的策士Kevin Madden辯論這個議題。

當我在車上聽到Kevin Madden這麼說的時候,髒話忽然就從我嘴中噴了出來

COOPER: Kevin, is knowing what happened in Abu Ghraib the same as seeing the photos in Abu Ghraib? You could have had a report about well some detainees were abused in the Abu Ghraib prison, but to actually see what happened to them, didn’t that open it up in a way that the truth wouldn’t have been known before?

MADDEN: Well, I think what’s important to remember, Anderson, on that point is that a photo is in of itself an event, it is not a pattern.

沒多久接下來…

COOPER: Let me ask Amrit about that because don’t we actually now know that these are not just isolated incidents, that there is actually a pattern from policies that were made by the Bush administration to things that were done in Guantanamo and then were done in Bagram Air Base and then were done at Abu Ghraib. There is a connection.

SINGH: Absolutely. And that photograph that you just showed of Lynndie England dragging a prisoner on a leash on the ground is a reflection of policies that were put in place by Secretary Rumsfeld at Guantanamo Bay. Mohammed Al Kahtani was subjected to the same techniques at Guantanamo Bay. He was led around on a leash naked and what you see in those Abu Ghraib photos is a direct link to what was authorized by the highest levels of officials.

後來話題有扯到國家安全那邊去了@@

總之,國家安全那些的論點我真的是聽不下去,難怪共和黨會輸光光!

有興趣的人可以抓下來聽聽看,練練英聽。

來自非洲的諺語,跟高爾所下的結論

今年二月,高爾在TED提供了一些新的投影片,告訴大家當前地球暖化的現象比他去年所講的狀況還要嚴重,並說明的去年所使用的投影片雖然可以讓大家了解北極的冰帽削減的規模,但並沒有提到冰帽厚度所受的影響,另外北極、格陵蘭跟冰河溶解的速度還是非常快速。最後他引用非洲的諺語,並呼籲我們必須齊心且快速的處理這些危機。

If you want to go quickly, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.
we need to go far, quickly.

習慣了嗎?

今年在芝加哥已經有36的在學青少年遭到了謀殺,而這個現象並不是今年才開始發生的,事實上在幾年前芝加哥的居民就曾經發起遊行試圖呼籲大家正視這種現象,然後情況卻變得越來越嚴重。前幾天Anderson Cooper的節目中就已經針對此事做了報導,想不到兩天後死亡的學生人數就從34到了36,於是Anderson Cooper再次做了報導。

Anderson Cooper在節目中這麼說的

We started talking about this story two years ago. It is just getting worse, and it’s the kind of thing that it doesn’t make headlines anymore because people start to think this is normal.

But this is not normal, 36 kids, school kids getting killed is not normal. It takes a huge toll on families.

芝加哥Richard Daley 市長面對媒體的詢問說

In other cities they’re dropouts. They don’t call them students anymore. You dropped out of school at 15, you’re gone at 14. We count them as even students even though they drop out, we count them as students

不過這樣子的回答怎麼聽都覺得怪怪的@@

習慣可能是讓自己無感的一種手段,不過埋藏在心底深處的憤怒跟無助真的會因此消失嗎?

Houston, We have a problem!

過去我的Android程式很少會出現ANR (Application Not Response)狀況,不過自從把平台升級到1.5之後,ANR出現的次數就明顯增多了,目前透過/data/anr/traces.txt觀察到的結果如下:

啥鬼!這樣子也會出現ANR的狀況,我的程式剛在Android 1.5平台上的時候就有因為locale的問題出了一次包(因為1.5可以切換locale,導致SimpleDataFormat的文字解析出現問題),不過從來都沒有想到類似的狀況會反應到ANR上@@

根據traces.txt所提供的call stack,目前猜測是IBM icu lib (ResourceInterface.cpp)在搞鬼,先去吃早餐,改天再來瞧瞧問題在哪裡(天啊!我的好奇心真的要讓我去追莫名其妙JNI跟腦中空谷C++嗎?)

You can shine…

看的出來頭髮閃閃動人的~

雖然故事很老梗,不過女孩在老人面前哭泣的那段還蠻感人的…
另外泰語罵人還挺難聽的@@

一個從小聾啞的女孩,懷抱著音樂的夢想長大,卻經常遭受姐姐的不屑與打擊。

正當她對自身的價值產生疑問的時候,一個流浪藝人告訴她:音樂,只要你閉上眼睛,就能看見。”

姐妹兩人同時入圍音樂節,由於嫉妒和害怕,姐姐在比賽前雇人摔壞了妹妹的小提琴,打傷了一直在教導妹妹的流浪藝人。

姐姐自以為陰謀得逞,但是妹妹仍然出現在比賽現場,飛揚的卡農從殘破的小提琴中破繭而出,震動了所有人的心。

這是一部相當完整的濃縮版電影,伏筆,發展,轉折,高潮,典型的人物性格,激烈的矛盾衝突,
可以說一切符合戲劇的元素都在本片中一一呈現。

開場的悲劇化色彩濃烈,聾啞的小女孩和落魄的流浪藝人同樣都是悲劇的代表人物。
而最後的高潮運用了很多意象化的景物,曠野,蝶化,朝陽,都預示了一個新的方向。

極具衝擊力的運動鏡頭,充滿情緒化的蒙太奇剪輯手法,和引導人物命運的卡農樂曲,都給這部影片賦以激昂的史詩感。

片子雖然是潘婷的公益廣告,但與宣傳的商業主體已無多大關係了,
全片揭示的是一個勵志主題:在困境中仍然能保持積極樂觀的 人,才是一個真正的強者

這個廣告折射人生

最喜歡小女孩和那個賣藝老人間的對話:
“為什麼我和別人不一樣?”

“為什麼你必須和別人一樣?”

最近看的電影Waltz with Bashir (與巴席爾跳華爾滋)與 Hannah and her sisters (漢娜與她的姊妹)都有這段配樂,很好聽。

看來這星期又有得忙了…

剛剛查了一下youtube的法律條款,看來使用者自行下載youtube的檔案下來是違反著作權的,所以呢…我又要改程式了,我的命真苦T_T
