为什么我睡了1300个女人？

summer — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 02:03:54 +0000

寻常性关系的问题是，那种性关系导致两性相互亲吻，然后你很快必须和她们娓娓交谈。一旦你了解了一个人，你最不想做的就是压榨强迫她们。我喜欢付出，从不要得到，我想有做主人的权力，而不是客人的义务。

生活中糟糕的事都是免费的。价值似乎需要一个价格标签。我们怎么能尊重一个没有自我价值的女人？

我年轻的时候常想，想和谁做爱并不重要，重要的你和谁在一起能感到交往和精神上的舒适。现在我知道这种想法是垃圾。你想和谁做爱是重要的。过去，我欺骗了那些我与之共处的女人。你对你生活中的两类人撒谎：你的伴侣和警察。你对其他人都说实话。

学习学习英语口语的哲学和技巧

你在课上教学生去理解美国人的思维，懂得美国人的思维，就会察言观色，就能和美国人进行很好的交流。但是学生们不是在美国长大，怎样才能让学生很好地理解美国人的思维？虽然我们不在美国长大，没有真正的美国人的思维，但我们可能模仿美国人的思维。我认为有六种技巧，是美国人和美国人之间交流的关键性东西，如果我们能掌握这六种技巧，就可以更好地理解美国人的思维，从而学好口语。

Nightlife keeps pace with changing trends and rules

Alan Li is a man in demand. Sitting at his desk, he is juggling calls on his landline, two mobile phones and a walkie-talkie.

Most of the calls are requests for private rooms, booths or discounts. It is not even 10 pm yet on a Tuesday night and Angel, the nightclub that Li helps manage, is already booked solid.

Wednesday was Qingming Festival, or Tomb-Sweeping Day, when people pay homage to their deceased family members.

The ideal weather for this day, as sanctified in an ancient poem, is a drizzle, which would on one hand compliment the solemnity of the occasion and on the other hand eliminate fire hazards.

Make Clean URLs work on 1&1 Internet web hosting

是什么在推动美国的汉语热？

推动美国汉语热有至少三个原因：

一：对中国文化的迷恋。这部分人一直都存在，但他们的人数并不多，他们的发展方向是汉学家。

二：近年中国经济的起飞。这是最实用的动机。

Ray Ozzie: Wiring the Web

秦风汉月 — Sun, 12 Mar 2006 15:53:31 +0000

For years, many companies including Microsoft have invested significantly in the open, interoperable use of XML and Web Services toward enabling programmatic interconnection between processes, services and sites across the internet. And that investment is bearing fruit as professional developers serving enterprises use powerful tools such as the .NET family of products toward decidedly embracing SOA. The shift from monolithic toward composite applications has progressively become a reality in the enterprise, as we turn data center-based systems into a programmatic “mesh”.

MySpace: 父母们的噩梦

秦风汉月 — Wed, 22 Feb 2006 06:02:33 +0000

Rupert Murdoch saw a Web site with monster growth potential in MySpace.com, the online music and dating phenomenon that makes it easy for teens to find friends and express themselves.

The media mogul's News Corp Inc. paid $580 million for MySpace last July. And even as he figures out how to turn more than 56 million MySpace members into higher Internet revenue for News Corp., there is another concern: the safety of its teen denizens.

10 Drupal Modules You Can't Live Without

秦风汉月 — Tue, 14 Feb 2006 19:50:49 +0000

Via my contact form, someone asked me to list 5 or 10 of the best drupal add ons. I decided to move away from "best", and rather decided to move to "can't live without". Or to put it differently, without these 10 modules, your experience with the minimial base install of drupal is likely to suck. (in spite of my physics teacher I once had who insisted that nothing sucked, but rather blew...).
