古时候 人们喜欢斗鸡
公鸡 鸡冠竖立 羽毛张扬 的时候 是不能拿去斗的
等训练到 一定时候 不会去挑衅别人 但是受到挑衅时还是会撕扯 也不能拿去斗
再训练一段时间 不再受其他鸡随意挑衅 但目露凶光 这时也还不行
等到 训练到 呆若木鸡状 才是最佳斗鸡状态
此时 所以锐气和霸气 都内敛于心

-----------------------------

一生的目标就是做一只呆若木鸡的鸡

写了一篇文章，竟上十大之首

收获果实总是开心的，即使我吃不上一口。  ^_^

当你感到痛苦郁闷或孤单寂寞时,最好找个肃静的地方学点知识,因为学习会使你永远立于不败之地.

Palin resigned,

辞职在中国人来看大概是很尴尬的事情，但是美国政客能把这个事情说的很光荣。很值得学习一下，看看别人是怎么园这么一个难解释的话题。

碰到jhh，随便聊聊，他这个人喜欢客气两下子。问我留给我的tt用完没，我说围巾和tt都蛮管的。:D  他在国内也开始找工作了。现在美国工作不好找，他很鼓励我，给我贴了个故事分享

30年前，一个年轻人离开故乡，开始创造自己的前途。他动身的第一站，是去拜访本族的族长，请求指点。老族长正在练字，他听说本族有位后辈开始踏上人生的旅途，就写了3个字：不要怕。然后抬起头来，望着年轻人说：“孩子，人生的秘诀只有6个字，今天先告诉你3个，供你半生受用。”30年后，这个从前的年轻人已是人到中年，有了一些成就，也添了很多伤心事。归程漫漫，到了家乡，他又去拜访那位族长。他到了族长家里，才知道老人家几年前已经去世，家人取出一个密封的信封对他说：“这是族长生前留给你的，他说有一天你会再来。”还乡的游子这才想起来，30年前他在这里听到人生的一半秘诀，拆开信封，里面赫然又是3个大字：不要悔。
该不怕时不怕，该不悔时不悔，人生大抵应该无憾了！

How I Stole Someone's Identity

The author asked some of his acquaintances for permission to break into their online banking accounts. The goal was simple: get into their online accounts using the information about them, their families and acquaintances that is freely available online

By Herbert H. Thompson

As a professor, a software developer and an author I've spent a career in software security. I decided to conduct an experiment to see how vulnerable people's accounts are to mining the Web for information. I asked some of my acquaintances, people I know only casually, if with their permission and under their supervision I could break into their online banking accounts. After a few uncomfortable pauses, some agreed. The goal was simple: get into their online banking account by using information about them, their hobbies, their families and their lives freely available online. To be clear, this isn't hacking or exploiting vulnerabilities, instead it's mining the Internet for nuggets of personal data. Here's one case. I share it here because it represents some of the common pitfalls and illustrates a pretty serious weakness that most of us have online.

Setup: This is the case of one subject whom I'll call "Kim." She's a friend of my wife, so just from previous conversations I already knew her name, what state she was from, where she worked, and about how old she was. But that's about all I knew. She then told me which bank she used (although there are some pretty easy ways to find that out) and what her user name was. (It turns out it was fairly predictable: her first initial + last name.) Based on this information, my task was to gain access to her account.

Step 1: Reconnaissance: Using her name and where she worked, I found two things with a quick Google search: a blog and an old resume. Her blog was a goldmine: information about grandparents, pets, hometown, etcetera (although it turns out I didn't need to use most of this). From the resume I got her old college e-mail address and from her blog I got her G-mail address.

Step 2: Bank Password Recovery Feature: My next step was to try the password recovery feature on her online banking site. The site didn't ask any personal questions, instead it first sent an e-mail to her address with a reset link which was bad news, because I didn't have access to her e-mail accounts. So e-mail became my next target.

Step 3: G-mail: I tried to recover her G-mail password, blindly guessing that this was where the bank would have sent its password-reset e-mail. When I tried to reset the password on her G-mail account, Google sent its password reset e-mail to her old college e-mail account. Interestingly, G-mail actually tells you the domain (for example, xxxxx.edu) where it sends the password reset e-mail to, so now I had to get access to that…ugh.

Step 4: College E-Mail Account: When I used the "forgot my password" link on the college e-mail server, it asked me for some information to reset the password: home address? (check—found it on that old resume online); home zip code? (check—resume); home country? (uh, okay, check—found it on the resume); and birth date? (devastating—I didn't have this). I needed to get creative.

Step 5: Department of Motor Vehicles: Hoping she had gotten a speeding ticket, I hit the state traffic courts' Web sites, because many states allow you to search for violations and court appearances by name. These records include a birth date (among other things). I played around with this for about 30 minutes with no luck when I realized that there was probably a much easier way to do this.

Step 6: Back to the Blog: In a rare moment of clarity I simply searched her blog for "birthday." She made a reference to it on a post that gave me the day and month but no year.

Step 7: Endgame (or How to Topple a House of Cards): I returned to the college e-mail password recovery screen and typed in her birth date, guessing on the year. Turns out that I was off on the year of birth but, incredibly, the university password reset Web page gave me five chances and even told me which field had inaccurate information! I then changed her college e-mail password, which gave me access to her G-mail password reset e-mail. After clicking the link, Google asked me personal information that I easily found on her blog (birthplace, father's middle name, etcetera). I changed the G-mail password, which gave me access to the bank account reset e-mail, and I was also asked for similar personal information (pet name, phone number and so forth) that I had found on her blog. Once I reset the password, I had access to her money (or at least I would have).

....

As for Kim, she's still blogging, but now she's a little more careful about the information she volunteers and has cleaned house on her old passwords and password reminder questions. Next time I do this, I'll have to figure out the name of her favorite primary school teacher.

好漂亮哦～

The Change We Need

I'm proud to have the support of businessmen like Warren Buffett.

This is a defining moment in our history. We face the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression -- 760,000 workers have lost their jobs this year. Businesses and families can't get credit. Home values are falling, and pensions are disappearing. Wages are lower than they've been in a decade, at a time when the costs of health care and college have never been higher.

At a moment like this, we can't afford four more years of spending increases, poorly designed tax cuts, or the complete lack of regulatory oversight that even former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan now believes was a mistake. America needs a new direction. That's why I'm running for president of the United States.

Tomorrow, you can give this country the change we need.

My opponent, Senator McCain, has served his country honorably. He can even point to a few moments in the past where he has broken from his party. But over the past eight years, he's voted with President Bush 90% of the time. And when it comes to the economy, he still can't tell the American people one major thing he'd do differently from George Bush.

It's not change to come up with a tax plan that doesn't give a penny of relief to more than 100 million middle-class Americans -- a plan that even the National Review and other conservative organizations complain does far too little to benefit the middle class. It's not change to add more than $5 trillion to the deficits we've run up in recent years. It's not change to come up with a plan to address our housing crisis that puts another $300 billion of taxpayer money at risk -- a plan that the editorial board of this newspaper said "raises more questions than it answers."

If there's one thing we've learned from this economic crisis, it's that we are all in this together. From CEOs to shareholders, from financiers to factory workers, we all have a stake in each other's success because the more Americans prosper, the more America prospers.

That's why we've had titans of industry who've made it their mission to pay well enough that their employees could afford the products they made -- businessmen like Warren Buffett, whose support I'm proud to have. That's why our economy hasn't just been the world's greatest wealth creator -- it's been the world's greatest job generator. It's been the tide that has lifted the boats of the largest middle class in history.

To rebuild that middle class, I'll give a tax break to 95% of workers and their families. If you work, pay taxes, and make less than $200,000, you'll get a tax cut. If you make more than $250,000, you'll still pay taxes at a lower rate than in the 1990s -- and capital gains and dividend taxes one-third lower than they were under President Reagan.

We'll create two million new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure and laying broadband lines that reach every corner of the country. I'll invest $15 billion a year over the next decade in renewable energy, creating five million new, green jobs that pay well, can't be outsourced, and can help end our dependence on Middle East oil.

When it comes to health care, we don't have to choose between a government-run system and the unaffordable one we have now. My opponent's plan would make you pay taxes on your health-care benefits for the first time in history. My plan will make health care affordable and accessible for every American. If you already have health insurance, the only change you'll see under my plan is lower premiums. If you don't, you'll be able to get the same kind of plan that members of Congress get for themselves.

To give every child a world-class education so they can compete in this global economy for the jobs of the 21st century, I'll invest in early childhood education and recruit an army of new teachers. But I'll also demand higher standards and more accountability. And we'll make a deal with every young American: If you commit to serving your community or your country, we will make sure you can afford your tuition.

And when it comes to keeping this country safe, I'll end the Iraq war responsibly so we stop spending $10 billion a month in Iraq while it sits on a huge surplus. For the sake of our economy, our military and the long-term stability of Iraq, it's time for the Iraqis to step up. I'll finally finish the fight against bin Laden and the al Qaeda terrorists who attacked us on 9/11, build new partnerships to defeat the threats of the 21st century, and restore our moral standing so that America remains the last, best hope of Earth.

None of this will be easy. It won't happen overnight. But I believe we can do this because I believe in America. This is the country that allowed our parents and grandparents to believe that even if they couldn't go to college, they could save a little bit each week so their child could; that even if they couldn't have their own business, they could work hard enough so their child could open one of their own. And at every moment in our history, we've risen to meet our challenges because we've never forgotten the fundamental truth that in America, our destiny is not written for us, but by us.

So tomorrow, I ask you to write our nation's next great chapter. I ask you to believe -- not just in my ability to bring about change, but in yours. Tomorrow, you can choose policies that invest in our middle class, create new jobs, and grow this economy so that everyone has a chance to succeed. You can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo. If you give me your vote, we won't just win this election -- together, we will change this country and change the world.

Mr. Obama is the Democratic nominee for president.

What We're Fighting For

Protectionism and tax hikes are wrong for the economy.

The presidential election occurs at a pivotal moment. Our nation is fighting two wars abroad, suffers from the greatest global financial crisis since the Great Depression, and is facing a painful recession. I believe in the greatness of America. I believe in our capacity to prosper, and to be safer and remain a beacon of light on the global stage. But we cannot spend the next four years as we have spent much of the last eight: waiting for our luck to change. We have to act immediately. We have to fight for it.

The institutions that we counted on -- Wall Street banks, our elected leaders in Washington -- failed us. We must reverse the corruption and arrogance that have overtaken these institutions, and we must place our trust in the hands of those who have never let us down, especially the American family and small businesses.

We need to grow our small businesses, not tax them. I will fight the Democrats' plans to redistribute the fruit of America's labor and turn our economy into a full-fledged disaster. I will cut taxes on families, seniors, savers and businesses. We need to double the child deduction, cut the capital gains tax, and keep jobs in America with a lower business tax.

I will make government finally live on a budget and enforce that discipline by the power of veto. I won't spend nearly a trillion dollars more of your money. I will impose a short-term spending freeze and rid the government of waste, duplication and fraud. And I will chart a different course than the administration and Barack Obama and not spend your money just to bail out Wall Street bankers and brokers. I have a plan to protect the value of homes and get them rising again by refinancing mortgages so your neighbor won't default and further drag down the value of your house.

I will end three decades of failed energy policies; stop sending $700 billion to countries that oppose American values and finance our enemies; and drill for oil and natural gas. We must strengthen incentives for all energy alternatives -- nuclear, clean coal, wind, solar and tide. We will encourage the manufacture of hybrid, flex fuel and electric automobiles. We will lower the cost of energy, and create millions of new jobs.

I will not impose "one size fits all" health care on families and small businesses through expensive mandates and fines. I will bring down the skyrocketing cost of health care with competition and choice, reform the insurance market to be fair, and allow you to keep the same health plan if you change jobs or choose to stay home.

One in five jobs in the U.S. depends on trade and I will fight the threat to those jobs from Democrat plans for isolationism. I won't make it harder to sell our goods overseas and kill more jobs. I will open new markets to goods made in America and make sure our trade is free and fair. And I'll make sure we help workers who've lost a job that won't come back find a new one that won't go away.

Senator Obama wants to raise taxes and restrict trade. The last time America did that in a bad economy it led to the Great Depression.

While most Americans are rightly concerned with the economic crisis, a world of pressing national security challenges also awaits the next president.

The gains our troops have made in the past 18 months in Iraq could be lost if we pull our troops out prematurely and regardless of the conditions on the ground. We have also dealt devastating blows to al Qaeda, especially in Iraq, but terrorists have found sanctuary on the Pakistan frontier among those trying to topple governments in both Kabul and Islamabad.

Afghanistan is reaching a crisis point, just as Iraq did in 2006. As an early supporter of the surge strategy in Iraq, I know that turning around this situation will require more than just increased troop levels. We also need a new, comprehensive strategy, one that integrates civil and military efforts and engages with various Afghan tribes.

Other major threats loom on the horizon: the Iranian and North Korean nuclear programs; aggressive Russian behavior toward its neighbors; Venezuelan adventurism; genocide in Darfur; and global warming. And those are only the dangers that we know of. Just as few expected the Russians to invade Georgia, we remain unaware of precisely where our next crisis will erupt, or when. The only certainty is that, as Joe Biden guaranteed, the tests facing the next president will be more severe if he is seen as weak in national security leadership.

I have devoted my life to safeguarding America. Former Secretary of State George Shultz compares diplomacy to tending a garden -- if you want to see relationships flourish, you have to tend them. I have done that, by traveling the world and establishing ties with everyone from dissidents to heads of state. There is great need for American leadership in the world, and I understand that only by exercising that leadership with grace and wisdom can we be successful in safeguarding our interests.

When I am president, I will not offer up unconditional summit meetings with dangerous dictators, nor will I foreclose diplomatic tools that serve our interests. I will respect our trade agreements with our allies, not unilaterally renounce them. I will close the Guantanamo Bay prison and ban torture. I will expand our armed forces and transform our civil and military agencies to win the struggle against violent Islamic extremism.

I believe that America is an exceptional country, one that demands exceptional leadership. After the difficulties of the last eight years, Americans are hungry for change and they deserve it. My career has been dedicated to the security and prosperity of America and that of every nation that seeks to live in freedom. It's time to get our country, and our world, back on track.

Mr. McCain is the Republican nominee for president.

我不是obama的粉丝。很多时候，我没觉得他的言行跟前面的美国总统有什么不同。但是，他确实不同，最少他是个黑人，这就是让他有太多的不同。还是有很多人不屑，一切拭目以待，我们生活在一个传奇的时代。

美国是一个追求梦想的国家，很大程度上，人们都是在为了自己的梦想，所以这片土地就是那么的有点传奇色彩。一个又一个的梦想在这里被实现着。

2008年1月21日，在南卡罗来纳州的马丁·路德金日集会上，这两个男孩排在长长的队伍里，等着欢迎奥巴马。他们的眼睛一刻也没有离开过他。他们的祖母告诉我：“长久以来，这两个年轻人一直盼望，有人能让他们相信，金博士的话能在他们身上实现。”（注：参见演说《我有一个梦想》。）作者：Callie Shell

竞选总统是很辛苦的，不要觉得皇帝很好当。是个最苦的差事，obama一年前已经换个一双底了。看到这双鞋，让我想到爸爸的皮鞋，真正做事情的人是不在乎图表的。

美国总统和中国总统最大的不同，在这里做了做好的诠释。很有意思。这个国家可爱天真的一面。

总统也有一个平凡的家。让我想起我的家庭～

希拉里是个值得尊敬的对手，有时成功也需要运气，运气不好生错了时代。。bush名字取得好，狗屎运很足，又是那句 既生瑜何生亮～

生活能够变化的很快。我们准备不赢，也不需要准备，做好自己的事情。

我是在2006年10月拍这张照片的。那是在一场伊利诺斯州的汽车赛上。我想，现在你不可能再拍到这样的照片了。奥巴马独自在赛场的休息区中，周围 都是伊利诺斯的乡村道路，没有保镖，没有随从，没有车队，也没有新闻媒体跟随。这形成了鲜明的对比：不到二年以后，柏林有20万人聚会欢迎他。作者：Callie Shell

本来蛮郁闷。怎么回事呢～

yahoo是杨致远phd的时候用技术搞出来的；baidu也是李彦宏的技术；google是两个stanford phd的产品；grove当年可是最早开发半导体的几个engineer之一；facebook那个小本是harvard cs的；gates原来技术可好了。。。

我突然觉得应该把技术做好：现在单纯的去某公司做个程序员，没意义的software development，确实感觉是在浪费我的时间。如果这样的话，还不如好好研究一个方向，比较有前途的方向，找个比较challenging的project组或者公司去做一做。这样想过来，回头一看，我这一年半完全是在折腾，前面修的什么统计经济，第二个学期选的课程也是没有方向性，我现在觉得很有意思的machine learning方向是一点都没学，然后同窗们，各自都有自己的技术方向，去公司或者申请phd都很有准备，我倒是撞来撞去结果什么都没有，课程都是乱的。只能去做无聊的软件开发。确实很无聊。想想很烦。

突然觉得我的一个很大的缺点，乱变方向，最后一件事都没做好。也没有前瞻性，等快要毕业了再知道什么课程应该选选，什么课程不适合。

盖子说了一句话，君子不器。

想起来，马云原来是英语老师，陈天桥之前是放映员。

君子不器

看到有人大喊：生不逢时

乱世出英雄。一个英雄诞生的年代，我还闲不够乱呢。 属于我们的年代！

让暴风雨来的更猛烈些吧！

Paul Krugman won the Economics Nobel. 我上上个学期还在用他的那本经典教材 <International Economics: Theory and Policy>。他才55岁，跟我爸一个年纪。

哥大今年收获了一枚诺贝尔，现在哥大的诺贝尔上的辉煌是当年辉煌的印证。

The winners are Osamu Shimomura, an emeritus professor at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., and Boston University Medical School; Martin Chalfie, a professor of biological sciences at Columbia University; and Roger Y. Tsien, a professor of pharmacology at the University of California, San Diego.

今年的物理诺贝尔奖被三个日本物理学家分享了。Makoto Kobayashi, and Toshihide Maskawa, and Yoichiro Nambu(日本裔的芝加哥教授)

诺贝尔文学奖是个法国人。

和平奖最后还是没给胡佳，给了前芬兰总统。

日本科学家这几年很风光啊。2001年3月，日本出台了第二个科学计划，雄心勃勃50年之内拿30个诺贝尔奖。所以，我说过，诺贝尔奖不算什么，只要挑出这个地球上最勤奋，最热爱科学的人，然后给予好好培养，就能出诺贝尔奖。诺贝尔奖那么多，真正影响人类发展的人就那么几个被记下了。从这个意义上来说，engineer没有诺贝尔奖一样让人尊敬。
