In the olden times, animals could speak English, just like you and me. There
was a lovely enchanted forest that flourished with a bunch of these magical
animals. One day, a hare was relaxing by a tree. All of a sudden, he
noticed a pineapple sitting near him.
The hare, being magical and all, told the pineapple, "Um, hi." The pineapple
could speak English too.
"I challenge you to a race! Whoever... 阅读全帖

看到一个小故事，觉得很有启示。。。
很多时候我们总是利用自己的聪明走在上帝的前面，而没有学会简单的信而顺服~！
A man was sleeping at night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with
light, and God appeared.
一个人晚上正在他的小屋里睡觉，突然房间里充满了光，神向他显现。
The Lord told the man he had work for him to do, and showed him a large rock
in front of his cabin. The Lord explained that the man was to push against
the rock with all his might.
主跟他说，要交给他一个任务。主带他到屋门口的一块大岩石前，让他要用尽全力去推
那块大岩石。
So, this the man did, day after day. For many years he toiled from sun ... 阅读全帖

Of all the relationship experiments ever tried—, the one described in the

My boss ask me to buy some machine for our business application, I have no
experience, there is no budge limit. Our application config is:
server: JBOSS+ORACLE 10g+APACHE,
OS: WINDOW 2003 SERVER,
Hardware:????
The machine mainly is for LAN use, about 80 employees will use this system,
and about 100 users out of LAN. what kind of mahcine i can use? and how much
would it cost?
thanks in advance.

came in Vista 4 yrs ago. Fine, until I got Win7
installed. Then it went BSOD frequently. Later,
as I figured, it's likely SD-card adapter driver
that wouldn't budge to Win7. So, got back to vista,
and everything worked as b4.
Interesting to know, when under win7, I've looked into
dump files etc, but all heading wrong directions. No
clear solution.

Content providers get into fight with cable providers all the time.
Sometimes the fight boils over and each side runs TV/radio ads asking their
users to call the other side to budge. In extreme cases, contracts lapse and
certain channels blacked out. There s nothing different in the netflix vs
ISP fight.
Net neutrality is bullshit, at least in the cases of for profit content
providers. Netflix enjoyed a great ride with all the ISP users subsidizing
its members thereby its stock holders.

If they're testing my salary negotiation skills. Well they had it, I tried
to negotiate and they won't budge. If they're trying to test my commitment,
then that's just stupid. Low pay would almost always drive people away or
result in low morale. Higher pay should be how employers show how much they
value you and want you for the position. So with all that said, I've already
said no to the offer, I mean even if I take the offer, I'll probably be a
disgruntled employee and wouldn't be as producti
Yeah， I haven't.
However, it is based on real experience of my former colleague who has been
a QC technician for Roche, who had oncec effectively held the shipping of
some serum wothy o dozens of thousand dollars due to color issue. His boss
literally begged him to sign agreement but couldn't make him budge.
So yeah, you can talk back to your boss. Business is business and managers
cannot do whatever they want. In academy the situation is quite different.

Critics also bemoan the way that P values can encourage muddled thinking. A
prime example is their tendency to deflect attention from the actual size of

In the distraction of the scandal-fever swirling through Washington and the

the great puzzles of number theory had been solved.
What makes the news most fascinating is that the solver isn’t on the
faculty of a top university and wasn’t known until this month to others who
work in the field. He is a Chinese immigrant in his 50s named Yitang Zhang,

Problem was that the seller - Glenn Hyundai of Lexington, KY - felt the
car was worth more ($19,700) and refused to sell it to McFly. They claim
they set a reserve price (even though they didn't) and wouldn't budge.
End of story, kind of.
See, the internet got a hold of the McFly's tale of woe, and few things
