It's interesting to see the English version of Sina.com on the Internet.
I found this piece of news from news.sina.com.cn this morning and was wondering what this could look like. Is it a directly translated website from Chinese version? I hold this thought in my mind when click the hyperlink. The answer is clearly a nope. The English version of Sina (http://English.sina.com) is not only having the new layout of Chinese version website but also possessing a new way to approaching news which are actually what a foreigner would concern.
I am pretty happy to see the neat English version without all dirty stories about either Chinese celebrities or silly absurd jokes relating to ordinary people.
Good for Sina. I believe I will save English Sina into my daily check list. Hopefully, more sincerely improvement will emerge from China soon as Olympic comes.
本来应该用英文写的，但是想想此片还是中文。
中国人爱面子，一个奥运火炬，可以关系到生死。地震浩劫，人命重要还是面子重要？
大家都知道中国地震了。政府同意接受各个国家捐钱。但是偶不理解的是为什么中国政府拒绝其他国家派遣有经验的救援队去救援？所有人都知道，如果被埋没在废墟里，前3天最重要。如果3天救不出来，那基本就没有什么希望了。这次国家没有在新闻上面做太多的封锁，但是政府在前三天拒绝所有的救援队。直到今天，才允许日本，韩国，新加坡，俄国的救援队进入中国。政府拒绝的理由是，中国有能力应付大灾难。无需国外派遣专家小组进行救援。
中国政府已经进步了许多，真诚希望政府能够在考虑人民生死于面子问题上做出及时正确的选择。
看了楼下朋友的发言，偶来补充几句。
不少朋友在这里留言，但是很明显大家忘记了国际救援队本身就是专家。他们知道他们面对的是如何场面。当然知道没有电就需要空投柴油发电机，不行就用干电池。救援队本身携带的药品，设备都是专门针对地震情况所设计，装备的。即使在极其困难的条件下，一个受过专业培训的救援队员也能够利用身边所有的物资进行救助。比起没有受过培训的武警乱挖一气的好得多。
至于接待救援队语言问题，救援队完全可以拥有自己的中文专家。这点是被考虑进去的。 现在国外会中文的人还少吗？
现场混乱，人多手杂？ 偶认为这点不适合评论专业队伍。人多是好，但是要有经验的指挥才能发挥正向推动。
这次新闻没有封锁，youtube上的资料，国内新闻网站的资料，偶不认为偶知道的比国内朋友的少。
序言：
由于越来越多的资料来自英文，偶现在会开始尝试混合英语与中文的blog。
并且减少翻译。大家只能尝试着看吧。英语不好的同志可以当做练习。

Well, here we go. I never be a fan of MAC in my whole life. I do believe MAC is a beautiful toy not a a tool which you will use everyday for heavy duty work.
Following is the prove from Jason D.
Silver
The MacBook Air has no
clothes
There. I said it.
After using the MacBook Air intensely since it arrived in February, I am
beginning to feel the limitations of its pokey 1.6GHz processor and 2GB of RAM.
I knew what I was getting into going in, but I was convinced that I could make
it work. Initially the tradeoff of less CPU and RAM was worth shaving two pounds
off my daily notebook heft but as I use the MBA more and more I’m increasingly
frustrated by its molasses-like performance.
(I’m not complaining about the 80GB hard drive, either. With some careful
data gymnastics I’ve found it pretty easy to live within 80GB, with the
exception of Parallels disk images. Those, my friend, are a bear. To hell with
music and photo libraries damnit! I need Windows XP!)
Take my morning routine, for example. Every weekday I launch Flock and open a bookmark of 14 sites
in tabs, then I launch NetNewsWire, then Adium, then Mail. This process easily
pegs both processors and sometimes make Flock totally unresponsive for several
minutes. I sometimes have to force quit and re-launch Flock to get it working
again and have to wait a few minutes for everything to refresh.
Granted, it’s a tall order.
Loading multiple Web pages, RSS feeds and IMAP accounts is undoubtedly
resource intensive, but it’s not video effects rendering or high-end Photoshop
plug-in work for Pete’s sake! It’s mostly network access. I wouldn’t expect it
to completely hobble an Intel Core 2 Duo running on an 802.11g (sometimes n)
network. But maybe I’m pushing the limits?
When I add the dismal performance of
Excel 2008 and Parallels (hello beachball!) to the mix, the MBA performance
is starting to become a liability that I never had before with my MacBook
Pro.
Perhaps it’s the applications? Maybe Flock is a resource hog. Maybe I need to
purge the gunk from all my IMAP folders. Maybe I need to repair permissions.
Re-install everything from scratch? Nuke and pave?
As I re-read what I just typed I can’t help but think that I have a mild case
of battered MBA-owner syndrome. “No officer, I don’t want to press charges
against the MacBook Air. I fell down the stairs. Honest.”
I stand behind my diary posts about the MacBook Air though. It’s a great machine
for light-duty users, frequent fliers and Mac-daddy executives, but for resource
intensive users I recommend a top-end MacBook Pro with 4GB of RAM.
Is the paltry 2GB of RAM, 1.6GHz processor and 80GB hard drive inside the
MacBook Air planned obsolescence? I can’t help but think so.
今天看了这两部片子。简单说一下。
Jumper其实剧本还是不错。又是三部曲的第一部。可惜编剧没有改编的很好。过于炫耀Jumper的能力，导致整个片子有点弱智。
其实从第一部就可以看出发展路线。很明显，那个黑人圣武者属于“好人”的范畴。他并不是杀Jumper，而是用特殊的刀来切断Jumper的能力。如果真的要杀Jumper，其实还是很容易的。找个sniper，碰，世界清净了。 片子里面一再展现那把特殊的刀，他“杀得”那个Jumper以后，也是说，要把他从树上放下来，然后收队。这个David也一再强调自己和别的Jumper不同（也没有看出太多的不同啊）。
所以，第二部的路线就很清楚了。阐述故事，正反方调换。
这个片子不值得去电影院看。
Mist（迷雾）
整个片子还是不错，除了结尾实在是令人恶心。这个片子其实就是游戏《半条命》的另外一个电影版。连故事情节都差不多。
只是既然观众已经培养了1个半小时，大家都一再支持主角。何苦在结尾开这么大的一个Jork? 就像一碗好汤，吃到最后一口，竟然是一个flying!!
整体片子还是不错，不妨去影院看看。
