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。

As you can clearly see from my $220 Fubu jacket and $95 Tommy Hilfiger sweatshirt, I could not possibly be poor.

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.

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

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

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。

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]

再谈sheepl/sheople的翻译

指那种言听计从随大流的人。翻译成“很面的人”不确切。找不到合适的词。大家一起想想啊。

Sheeple is a term of disparagement, a portmanteau created by combining the words “sheep” and “people.”

It is often used to denote persons who acquiesce to authority, and thus undermine their own human individuality. The implication of sheeple is that as a collective, people believe whatever they are told, especially if told so by authority figures, without processing it to be sure that it is an accurate representation of the real world around them. The term is generally used in a political or religious sense. The singular form of the term is “sherson;” however, the plural form is most often used.

1. Sheeple

   People unable to think for themselves. Followers. Lemmings. Those with no cognitive ablilities of their own.

2. sheeple

   A individual that forfits their right to choose in favor of inclusion in groupthink and what is viewed as popular or elete group. Allowing the influences of different forms of media and group members to hold great sway in the formation of attitudes, behavoir and opinion.

   Not only to be told what to do, but accepting the paradigm of thought as absolute thereby removing the weight of personal responsibility in the making of decisions.
   In 2003 American President Bush states that the need to invade Iraq is imperative because it it was a supporter of islamic terrorism and developer of Weapons of Mass Destruction that would threaten the United States.

Although no evidence was given in support of such statements the american sheeple supported the war despite evidence to the contrary.
