It's just hilarious, but yet sad and sarcastic.

So, Google's proposing a new rel="nofollow" attribute to discourage comment/trackback spams on blog.

This problem is getting worse everyday and I'm glad someone is taking point to deal with it.

So, they're having 100Mbps up/down DSL in HK now.... I sure want something like this at home!

I was so envy Tom C. using the 3D/holographic API in "Minority Report". It's such a nice user interface.

But this is better; just think and computer execute your wish!

It will be really cool to able to control computers by thinking, especially now this can be done without putting a chip in your head.

Even better if we can pipe the computer screen back to my brain without have to get output via analog device, aka my eyes. It just like Bateau in Ghost in the Shell in reality.

Even better than better, if we can preserve someone's brain out of his/her body, great experience can be preserved.... just like in Futurama. (The head in the jar celebrities) It's all good for humanity.

I'm just wondering what we can do when plug such a I/O interface to a coma patient.

So, T-Mobile is hacked and documents/photo are leaked. This include US Secret Service. That's how you should trust your system....

Some reading on how bittorrent going to evole and how podcasting going to benefit from it.

So, it's here. They started cracking down on people uploading movie using BT.

Since they cracking down tracker sites, I know it eventually will target the users.

It's only in Hong Kong right now, but I'm sure they're going to follow suit in North America soon.....

Usenet been around for a long while...

Since the good old days, a lot of historical things happen on the net.

My first post: here

The 2 games actually still at my parents' place in San Francisco.....

Before that I posted on local BBS on Calgary and Medicine Hat. (FidoNet)

20 Year Archive on Google Groups

So, history repeats itself.

I still remember the infamous Win98 BSoD (Blue Screen of Death) demo and it happens again. (see here)

It's embarrassing for sure to bomb in the demo......

I remember heard of a few close calls elsewhere (not at MS) and luckily it didn't bombed out as bad as what happened to MS. For sure it's a stressful time during the demo, and things is in Merphy's hand (see the 3rd law)

[update]
p.s. Forgot to mention, the MS demo team sounds really top notch to me, handling out of hand situations very well. A deserved credit.

Read this from JKotR, it surprises me that actually I should not fully drain my batteries for a full recharge often..... maybe once every 30 charges.

How to prolong lithium-based batteries

It's how I'd like to work and live..... the geek style.

I always dream of working for NT but able to live anywhere in the world. I will telecommute, connect to and work with people in Ottawa from somewhere.

The only one place I do not want this lifestyle to follow me is when I'm hitting the wilderness..... No, it's just wrong to bring computer when camping, or checking email at the camp site.
