I mean, it's not like you can't read old Chinese literature with the current character sets, right? Most of these characters are archaic and often substituted with variants which either look or sound similar to the original (which are easy to annotate with clarifications). For god sake 99% of chinese people won't even come across any of these words in their _entire_ life.
If the guy who wrote this article really care so much about these archaic heritage, let him return to writing with the original (fan-ti) characters, okay?
Societies change. People change. "yi" is inevitable.
When they caught news of their army releasing the spyplane crew, so many PRC went on to vent off their anger at sina.com's bulletin that the system went down.
I have been trying to locate the source of this nationalism for some time, and my thoery is that:
(a) For reasons justified or unjustified, many PRCs have a bloated ego which does not match what the outside world perceive them as. If you read this month's SciAm, this is frequently a source for agression.
(b) The PRCs have long admired the western way of life (much like the Japanese). The failure to be accepted by the west caused love to turn to hate.
In (a), the ego might (1) come from China's five thousand years of glorious heritage (2) come from the fact that many of the new generation of PRCs are the only child in the family and are thus often spoilt bred.
Pouring over the men's section are the same muscle
digging, riches hungry, Tom Cruise hunting people -only of the opposite sex- whose self-esteem you consider so much more delicate, fragile, and in need of protection.
How old are you? It's just human nature. Get over it.
Wait.... I get it now, there's a hot one sitting next to you while you were typing...
Well, the best to you, brother. Hope all that ditching-your-own-kind will get you some.
Every time Slashdot post a story on the incompleteness theorem, the same spectrum of noise shows up. While some comments are apparently from students of mathematics, the extend of naivete some posts demonstrate are profoundly alarming. These ought to be labeled "redundant" since they posit ideas already espoused in the literature.
C'mon, people, when you were given a chance to higher education you rejected mathematics for some (stupid) engineering/business course so that you can make more moolah. Don't fool yourself, you don't really understand higher mathematics now. If you ask me, the real students of mathematics (particularly those into theory of recursive functions) deserve this entire panel. You guys ought to just shuddup and listen to what they have to say.
Moderate Reasonable Guy: "Okay, okay, settle down children--*BLAM BLAM* (shot by Anti-Linux and Pro-Linux Wackos)
Hear! Hear! I, too, think that "Moderately Reasonable Guy"s should be more appropriately addressed as they truely deserve. All too often their voices stand out so distinctively among the prattling cohorts... and all of the time their mindful sentiments are no less compassionate.
I would like to suggest a new age term for these brave distinguished kindled spirits....
Why even bother suing? For all they care the authorities can just cut off the suspected files. And it's not too difficult for agents to automagically learn your schemas - much more when their programmers have access to the same client programs. A properly implemented system should use stronger encryption with proper key exchange mechanism. If encryption algorithms are not desired (for whatever reasons) you should at least take the advantage of human fuzzy perception skills. e.g.
1) uploader design the key mapping
2) display the mapping in some script language and screendump it, add noise so that the representation becomes difficult for machines to interprete.
3) user grab the pic, key in the mapping to their programs. from here on the program can behave exactly like napster.
...although that will make the intend of the sender less defendable.
Hell I used up my last moderator point
moderating down that stupid "aren't symantec guilty for reverse engineering viruses" post. An overwhelmingly noble effort deserving of much reward if i may say so myself.
As for the three idiots who modded it up... a pox on your firstborns!

I truly believe this one is funny... if you agree please spare a score?

Please mod this one up some more. Please? TIA.

What are you doing here? Reading Slashdot some more! Go back to your cryogenic chamber!
Head off to LP 944-20, off Eta Carinae Nebula. Where we are par-tay!
p.s. blow horn when you are there.
I thought you're supposed to "start digging"... not "doing shit"! My Gawd!
Anybody scored with that one yet?
Huh? No?
I knew you would say that. It's a plot. Hollywood wants all of us to behave stupid... then one day, they sneak in and snatch all our females!
Yes... and finally I can write
"all your female are belong to us." - Hollywood
Yippee!
Somebody please let these buggers know - boys bands want their protections!
