叫人失望的联通

工信部为了平衡各大运营商的关系,把wcdma--国际通行的3G网络--这块肥肉给了中国联通。有人认为,联通从此可以携iPhone打一场翻身仗了。然而,从我和身边朋友的经历来看,联通的服务与它所掌握的技术,实在难以匹配。 在“十一”长假的第一天,我被浙江联通给停机了,原因是欠费59.01元。你也许会说,欠债还钱,欠费停机,天经地义,联通这么做也是按契约办事,要怪就怪你,不预存一点话费。 ...

SaladHands30 - Guardian Soulmates

SaladHands30 - Guardian Soulmates 长见识了,原来英国的征婚启事是这样写的。对未来另一半的要求,不写身高,长相,职业,收入,而是性格! What I’m looking for Oh dear, I’m cracking now… I guess I’d really just like to meet a man who is unapologetically silly; who never orders Vanilla, thinks Magnolia is ‘safe’ or insists we print a map; a man for whom I’d pull an all-nighter on a school night; who walks or cycles instead of getting the tube; who will leave me utterly speechless and wanting to know more; who drinks proper beer and thinks he can surf, is able to order wine in a restaurant and can teach me to ski better, eats all major food groups, has more than one pair of shoes and climbs mountains; who thinks Foster the People are the best thing to happen in 2011 so far, but will make me leave work early on a Monday to see an unknown band in Brixton; who manages to get us two places for a new Supper Club on a Tuesday; who doesn’t watch TV at normal times but will spend Sunday in bed with iPlayer; who suggests camping in Cornwall one weekend and will dance with me til our feet bleed the next weekend; is my biggest critic and my greatest fan (and who I respect for both); agrees that cats are vain and fickle but would secretly love to get one, call it Carlos and try to make it love us rather than the branded offal we feed it; looks irresistible in a suit (but isn’t wearing one in his profile picture); makes my married best friend wish she was sleeping with him and my mum wish he was her son; unafraid to kiss me to make me shut up and yet can make me talk when I’ve clammed up; someone who just gets it, and gets me; and when I’m with him I forget to check my blackberry or my moral code. ...

厨子余生记

炒菜炒到一半,煤气罐里的煤气用光了,我不得不改用电火锅,这忽然揭开了一个惊天秘密,我忽然觉得呼吸畅快了好多,原来自从两个月多月前,决定自己做饭以来,我一直轻微煤气中毒。 怪不得我一直觉得莫名其妙地胸闷,多痰,(我已经戒烟3年多,并且所处的环境都是无烟的,也很少在交通高峰期外出)。我现在想起来了,有一次,我做饭的时候,发现煤气灶旁边一个小孔冒出蓝色的火焰,原来那个地方在漏气啊。糟糕的是,那束小火苗,只出现过一次,就不见了。这意味着,我在炒菜的时候,其实煤气一直在洩露中。 ...

Mac用了SSD硬盘为什么关机还这么慢?

有些Mac OS的使用者发现,即便是装了ssd硬盘,关机的速度还是很慢。 解决办法很简单。 打开你的HD-Library-StartUpItems 注意是你安装Mac的根目录下的Library,而不是你的用户名下面的。 把StartUpItems下面的文件夹全部删掉。 再关机,就快速如飞了。 灵感来源:http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1211358 第8楼。

风华如晤

风华如晤: 秋雨说来就来,一刻都不迟疑,夜黑得象地窖,落叶和水声在低声诉说。百无聊赖,无可如何之际,在网上左转转,右转转。无意中点了你的博客,看到你给我写了一封信。我哭了。 已经是中年的中段,如果是鱼,正好是最好吃的那一节。记得18岁的时候,你给我写信,对胡茬子茂密的30岁充满向往。现在,中年终于来了,真好。 昨晚,跟一位留学归来的小朋友闲谈,说起异域风光和异国风月,临别我对他说,你们的问题是没有根。什么是根,就是提起一个词语就能把你击中的那样东西。比如,棉花。 ...

The Skeletons in Deng's Closet - By Christian Caryl | Foreign Policy

The Skeletons in Deng's Closet - By Christian Caryl | Foreign Policy My favorite quote comes from Deng’s youngest son: “My father thinks Gorbachev is an idiot.” Oddly enough, whenever Vogel brings up the subject, it’s the party that gets to decide what constitutes Chinese values. The critics somehow never do. He tells us that some of the critical texts put up to public view on Beijing’s Democracy Wall, the place where a remarkable spirit of pluralism was allowed to flourish for a few months starting in late 1978, “were posted by other young people who were inspired by their newfound freedom but, having lived in a closed society, lacked the experience and wisdom to inform or temper their judgments.” People’s Daily couldn’t have put it better.
