明天考 quiz ， 很无聊地复习中 ……

感觉每次计算机考试都要无聊地去记那些计算机发展史。

俺初二就知道 ENIAC 是 1946 年在 U Penn 搞出来的了，可惜十多年过去了还是只记得这一个。

其他的什么 CDC、 PDP、 CRAY  一律分不清楚。

这次更绝，把下面这个作为了考试重点：

1996 , Seymour Cray dies in car accident

md， 牛 X 如牛顿者 我都不知道其生卒年月，管这厮啥时候死的干什么？

A little humor from the class notes

i am not typically against MS. Actually in my mind, MS is exponentially better than Apple

the following is just for fun

If GM developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving
cars with the following characteristics:

􀀁 The airbag system would say, "Are you sure?" before going off.

􀀁 Occasionally for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock
you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted
the door handle, turned the key, and grabbed hold of the radio
antenna.

􀀁 Every time GM introduced a new model car, buyers would
have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the
controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

􀀁 You'd press the "Start" button to shut off the engine.

貌似很火的样子，昨晚被阮庆拖上贼船 （结果转眼就被这厮卖到黑煤窑里去了，拷！！！），

然后几乎每5 分钟就有好友加入，从初中同学一直到现在的同事。

谁告诉我怎么赚钱？ 嗯，我也要去买卖人口，把他们统统送到煤窑里面去～～～

当初 Chinaren 的校友录也红极一时，现在已基本隐退江湖， QQ 从模仿 icq 的兴起

到被 MSN 的不断蚕食，网络上的本土企业比起传统的民族企业 诸如汇源、美加净，

多少有些殊途同归的感觉。 现在的开心网 还有什么校内网都是模仿 facebook 的，

这次能撑多久？

LONG mentioned that he would feel much safer on an aircraft if the software

was designed in Ada rather than C++ ...

yeah, can't agree more.

c++ is powerful and popular, but too difficult and has a lot of room for errors.

Just spent hours talking with Qing on an error message from the compiler

but couldnt figure out why ... ahhhhh~~~

Here are a small pile of interesting pictures on the most exciting (or probably most disastrous? ) experiment so far in this century.

( shall i use are or is in the above sentence? )

the elegance and preciseness of Federer delight people in most of the time,

but the overpowering brutal force from players like Nadal occasionally gives more

enjoyable pleasures in the sense of satisfying humans', or least men's instinctive thirst for violence.

as a viewer, i prefer the former. but when I play,  i follow the latter.

unleash your strength by slashing the ball as hard as you can!!

haha, I just had a wonderful day with my forehand strokes.  My gym training finally pays off.

however, i need someone to coach my backhand, seriously...
