  1. "Home" is not that sweet as one might think on China Luring Scientists Back Home · · Score: 1, Informative
    For anyone who wants to come back, please read this and think twice, there are many "unspoken rules" in Chinese universities:

    Did corruption in Chinese universities cause the suicide of a brilliant young academic?

  2. FYI: The truth is out there... on "Miraculous" Stem Cell Progress Reported In China · · Score: 1

    There was already a report saying this is more like "gambling" from the an important government site back in Sept 2007:

    http://scitech.people.com.cn/GB/6290699.html

    (You may want to use google translate to read: http://translate.google.com/translate_t?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&tl=en#)

    The key points in this report are:

    1. It's not yet proven
    2. It's in a "gray area", new regulations are/were on the way to make sure only proven therapies can be used on human

    Not sure what's going on later.

  3. Re:Beagle on Google Desktop Now on Linux · · Score: 3, Informative
    check out the tracker project: http://www.gnome.org/projects/tracker/

    Tracker is a tool designed to extract information and metadata about your personal data so that it can be searched easily and quickly. By using Tracker, you no longer have to remember where you've left your files. To locate a file you only need to remember something about it, such as a word in the document or the artist of the song. This is because as well as searching for files in the traditional way, by name and location, Tracker searches files' contents and metadata.
    It should be faster and more light weight :)
  4. Re:Special MS PHP? on Microsoft Partners With Zend · · Score: 1

    Can't agree more! I guess by adopting php, MS is playing the "embrace & extend" game again: first they make the php works "better" on Windows platform; then they added "extra features" that only works with IIS, so developers have to stick to Windows/IIS... let's ensure that there are MORE extra features when combining php with Apache :)

  5. yes, we do care on Do You Care if Your Website is W3C Compliant? · · Score: 2, Funny

    our company has a specialist of html (a girl:) who spends tons of time ensuring our projects' web pages work properly across multiple major browsers/versions and pass the w3c html/css check.

    we believe that it's a good habit to make web pages w3c compliant, that ensures your web pages work properly with w3c compliant browsers. meanwhile, we will take care of browsers such as IE which has buggy html/css support by using some tricks/workarounds to make it render properly too.

  6. google in China on Google Targeted By Anti-Censorship Movement · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You want the market, you censorship the contents;

    You want the money, you do some evil;

    You want to play the game, you obey the rules...

    Well, it's good to provide something rather than nothing....

  7. for the teenagers and children... on Chinese Claim Internet Censorship Modeled on West · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "Mr. Liu said the major thrust of the Chinese effort to regulate content on the Web was aimed at preventing the spread of pornography or other content harmful to teenagers and children.

    fine, sites like this: http://et.21cn.com/portray/ , this: http://tu.tom.com/list/beauty.html , this: http://www.qihoo.com/site/tietu/index.html ... are totally accessible China sites for Chinese teenagers and children of any age... (yep, they're NOT pornography and harmful content, maybe I'm just too sensitive...)

    I used to think MS want daniel to bring something similiar to gentoo's portage (package management system) to windows world...

    man, from beijing, trying to access http://www.freebsd.org/ I got "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." from firefox...

    go and have tor (http://tor.eff.org/) and privoxy (http://www.privoxy.org/) set up, that's the perfect tools combination for web surfing...

    # emerge tor privoxy

    to install and play with them :)
