一大早收到这么一封邮件，差点笑翻。不过想想其实也没什么，把我们当年刚学英语时用中文注音的笔记拿给一个懂中文的外国人看，人家一样会疯掉。看来全世界的人学外语用的都是一个招啊！

Dear Tim,
shall by too dull doll by too jack won,
dolphin long can Jim shall by too low,
shall by too when dull low, doll car low,
dolphin long doll Ham Eason
“more power!”

这段英语估计能难倒世界上所有的最牛的英语翻译。别急！我们中国人学英语的时候不也有时用中文注音吗？这是一个老外学习中文时的注音。人家本语是英语，当然用英语给中文注音是最方便的了。下面是被注音的中文，你先使劲猜再看答案，你能猜得到吗？

朋友email我一些她墓地的照片。非常辉煌，满眼黄金的颜色。

A penny borrowed is a penny speculated

借来一分钱就投机一分钱。这句话肯定改编自“a penny saved is a penny gained/earned”，就是“省一分钱就是赚一分钱”。

改得好。形象地说明了当前金融领域的不良现象。

投机的人可不是用自己存款的。“所谓救市”如果是救投机的人，就是对辛苦存款的人的欺骗和伤害。

什么是 reality hacking

Reality hacking is an artistic practice which emerges from the intersection of hacking and hacker culture, contemporary art, activism, and net culture. Reality hacking takes as its basis a broad, phenomenological point of view of the world, and considers (often unorthodox) investigations into everyday objects and situations a meaningful way of probing into the working of varied social contexts.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_hacking

The UNIX-HATERS Handbook is a semi-humorous edited compilation of messages to the UNIX-HATERS mailing list. The book was edited by Simson Garfinkel, Daniel Weise and Steven Strassmann and published in 1994. The book was made available to download for free in electronic format in 2003.[1]

The book concerns the frustrations of users of the Unix operating system. Many users had come from systems that they felt were far more sophisticated in computer science terms, and were tremendously frustrated by the worse is better design philosophy that they felt Unix and much of its software encapsulated.

This book was printed as a trade paperback. Its front cover was designed to be similar to The Scream. An air sickness bag, printed with the phrase “UNIX barf bag”, was inserted into the inside back cover of every copy, by the publisher.

The front-matter pages dedication says: “To Ken and Dennis, without whom this book would not have been possible.”

googleplex是从googolplex来的这点我没想到。我一直以为只是简单的结合google和complex（楼群）这2个词呢。

2个名字的缘由

The name “Google” originated from a misspelling of “googol,”[6][7] which refers to the number represented by a 1 followed by one-hundred zeros. Having found its way increasingly into everyday language, the verb, “google,” was added to the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary in 2006, meaning, “to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet.”[8][9]

[snip]

After quickly outgrowing two other sites, the company leased a complex of buildings in Mountain View at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway from Silicon Graphics (SGI) in 1999.[12] The company has remained at this location ever since, and the complex has since become known as the Googleplex (a play on the word googolplex, a 1 followed by a googol of zeros). In 2006, Google bought the property from SGI for $319 million.[13]

什么是googole

A googol is the large number 10100, that is, the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros (in decimal representation). The term was coined in 1938[1] by Milton Sirotta (1929–1980), nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner. Kasner popularized the concept in his book Mathematics and the Imagination (1940).

A googol can be written in conventional notation as follows:

1 googol
= 10100
= 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googol

什么是googolplex

A googolplex is the number 10googol, which means it’s a 1 followed by a googol of zeros (i.e. 10100 zeros).

1 googolplex
= 10googol
= 10^{10^{100}}\,\!
= 1010,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Pejorative

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Words[1] and phrases are pejorative if they imply disapproval[2] or contempt. When used as an adjective, pejorative is synonymous with derogatory, derisive, dyslogistic, and contemptuous. When used as a noun, pejorative means “a belittling or disparaging word or expression”.

Pejorative expressions that are not inherently dyslogisms may also be used in a non-pejorative way, however, and determining the intent of the speaker is problematic — as with any implied meaning. Conversely, a common rhetorical ploy is to apply “pejorative” to a factual descriptor — as “toxic” might be applied to poison — and then decry it as “pejorative” to suit the agenda of those defending the substance as harmless.[citation needed]

Not every instance of criticism is pejorative.

Sometimes a term may begin as a pejorative word and eventually be adopted in a non-pejorative sense. This happened with the terms Big Bang, Quaker, Yankee, Okie, Tory and Whig, Ham radio operator, Methodist, Shaker, Unitarian, and Sooner or Republican, which were originally slang insults but came to be used as non-pejorative standard words. In historical linguistics, this phenomenon is known as melioration, or amelioration. Sometimes a term is still considered as a pejorative word by some but not by others. In other cases, some groups have attempted to “reclaim” formerly offensive words applied against them, with limited success. Such terms as nigger,[3] nigga, kike, redneck, cracker, white trash, redskin, dyke, queer, fairy, faggot, tranny, geek, nerd, retard, mamak, paki, chav , gook cripple are considered pejorative if used by one who is not a member of the group in question.[4][5][citation needed] British English also incorporates many British regional slurs.[citation needed]

我自己想了一个开发方式，起名字叫：dabac：development aided byaudio comments，发音是Da-Back。：）就是很多人不愿意写注释，自己一步步干嘛呢。让大家在写完代码后，一行行的说自己的意图，就是解释代码和思路。说比写快，而且下一个人也不用老看屏幕，散步的时候听都可以。也许和我更喜欢和习惯从听中接受信息有关，所以我想尝试这个方法。

关键是觉得我这个么名字想得也不错。：）

piggy在这里本意不不表示猪

自己看下面的解释就可以了

谁能告诉我扑满这个词是怎么来的。我第一次听说。从来没听人用过，书面也没见到过。

猪形扑满（粤语称为“猪仔钱罂”）

扑满（粤语称为钱罂）是储存硬币的容器。在现代，扑满通常属于小朋友（成人多将钱储于银行），外形常见像猪，以陶制，只有一个小洞，如果真的要用就必须打破它。这个设计可以教育小孩储蓄的概念：钱可以入，但使用时必须慎重考虑。

现代有各种不同材质如竹、木、塑胶、金属等，以及各种形式的扑满。

Piggy bank

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Piggy bank (sometimes penny bank or money box) is the traditional name of a coin accumulation and storage container; it is most often, but not exclusively, used by children. The piggy bank is known to collectors as a “still bank” as opposed to the “mechanical banks” popular in the early 20th century. These items are also often used by corporations for promotional purposes.

Piggy banks are typically made of ceramic or porcelain, and serve as a pedagogical device to teach the rudiments of thrift and savings to children; money can be easily inserted, but in the traditional type of bank the pig must be broken open for it to be retrieved. Most modern piggy banks, however, have a rubber plug located on the underside; others are made of vinyl and have a removable nose for easy coin access. Some piggy banks incorporate electronic systems which calculate the amount of money deposited.[citation needed]

[edit] Etymology

In Middle English, “pygg” referred to a type of clay used for making various household objects such as jars. People often saved money in kitchen pots and jars made of pygg, called “pygg jars”. By the 18th century, the spelling of “pygg” had changed and the term “pygg jar” had evolved to “pig bank.”[citation needed]

安装后新的emacs23后做的几个工作

因为备份了以前的.emacs，所以很好办。我必须用的markdown-mode还是在原来的loadpath。也就能够直接使用。

color-theme就是emacs的颜色主题不能直接用，因为以前是用eamcs-snapshot配套的emacs-goodies包。现在下载这个扩展放到自己loadpath中吧。

方法： http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ColorTheme

其它就没了。主要是注释掉了很多.emacs中自己不用的东西。比如emacs-muse的设置，和一些其它扩展。
