奧林匹克運動會,本古希臘人以娛神也。今則以天下萬國,競技之會。四年一會,遵其古意也。以五環為章,環以五色,象五洲五色人種。五環相扣,示以共合也。今有三種,曰正會、曰殘會、曰少會,各分冬夏。
沿革:
始古希臘。厄利多斯內亂,其王詰曰:「何以止亂?」對曰:「會以競逐,娛神免禍。」乃集希臘男子於奧林匹斯山下競跑,且立約賽期止戰。三九三年,羅馬皇帝狄奧多斯一世奉基督教,以奧運會有違教義,詔止之。
近世,希臘王國立,其王頗思復國俗,嘗制泛希臘運動會。一遵古風,非國人不得與,故不弘。一八九二年,法蘭西人顧拜旦倡復奧運會,天下皆與。定四年一會,歷時不過十六日。一八九六年,十三四國三百人,初會於希臘都雅典。公元千九百年,始有女子。一九一二年,禁以競技為業者與。翌年,始用「更快、更高、更強」為格言。
一九一六年,第一次世界大戰間,以戰故未會。一九二零年戰事平,以燃炬悼戰死者,自後逢會必舉炬。一九二八年,始於奧林匹斯山採火,傳行天下至會處,而後燃炬。
會處本以國際奧林匹克委員會諸國間選。一九六四年會,耗用鉅大,自後多國不輕為會處。一九八四年,初以商辦,獲鉅利。後因之,而頗失公正競技之意。
奧運會本會於夏,向無雪地競技,蓋希臘自古不冰也。一九二四年,別立冬會,會於雪國。本與夏會同年,後改於夏會兩年後。
一九六〇年,始殘會。
二〇〇七年,議定自二〇一〇年始少會。蓋奧運會無論冬夏,祇得成人也。
會中三甲,可得金、銀、銅牌,以示勝者。不別獎勵,以免有以競技獲利者也。實三甲歸國,皆別有賜,一朝顯名者有之。

一个基于Tomcat的程序里面用到了JFreeChart,偶尔用浏览器访问时,PC端安装的XManager的XServer会自动的打开,然后Tomcat就莫名其妙的挂掉。在没有安装XManager的PC上通常就不会出这种情况。查看一下log,如下:
Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
搜之,此乃awt的bug。加入以下参数启动即可:
-Djava.awt.handless=true
如果是Tomcat,把上面的参数加到环境变量:CATALINA_OTPS里即可。

记得一次带一个同事逛苏州,路过一家音像店,店里传来一首歌曲,这位仁兄莫名的就喜欢上,我说,好啊,我去问问老板这是什么歌,然后download一首,结果进去后,老板死活不告诉我们歌曲的名字并告知:你买下CD,我就告诉你,无奈,我们只能花了若干大洋买下了整张CD。如果当初我知道这个网站:

情况就不同了,这是一个基于QbH的网站,你只要随便的哼哼几句,它就可以帮你检索出歌曲的详细信息来。非常有用和有趣。

貌似很强大,且据说是一个可以破墙而出的实现方式,使用reCAPTCHA(一石二鸟)技术,没有看太懂<反功夫网/>内的文字以何种方式表现(rendering),文字还是图片?如果是文字,那它的流还是经过‘墙’当然会被过滤,如果是图片,那就得有服务器支持才可以,那这样和浏览器有何关系?

On July 1st, the evaluation release of Vista SP1 RC has expired, it’s said that Microsoft has warned those installed SP1 RC make sure uninstall it before the deadline. but i didn’t see that notice. so, from July 1st, my laptop kept rebooting every few hours, even hanged with a bluescreen of death. this really drove me crazy, until i realized that.
To check if you’ve installed evaluation copy, try to run ‘winver’ and a dialog will pop up, if you could see the following statement:
Evaluation copy. Expires 7/1/2008 7:59 AM
that’s it! you need to uninstall this copy. please run ‘appwiz.cpl’ and click ‘View installed updates’, then uninstall
Service Pack for Microsoft Windows(KB936330)
this will take you dozens of minutes. be patient. after that, you’ll restore your Vista.

Actually this API has been released for a long time, but I just start to play with it. really cool, demo page: http://charry.org/m/map. if you like, you can create more interesting pages with Google Map API. for the detailed references, just Google ‘Google Map API’. thanks to Google’s map servcies, we don’t need the commercial GIS apps anymore, at least, for me, it’s awesome.
i went thru the reference page, but didn’t find any article about how to add customed maps, i do believe there’s a feature like this, ‘cause my co-worker showed me a website in which the map is an office layout.

souceforge又被封[]掉了,不知道这次和北京奥谁的运有什么关系。真的让人心寒,从小我们就被这样教育:我们是这个国家的“主人”。而那些为“主人”的服务的仆人为了不让“主人”学坏,真是煞费苦心:
封 blogger
封 flickr
封 wordpress
封 wikipedia
封 sourceforge
封 … …
在中国,你不能搜索带有敏感的大腿字眼的词汇,否则你的浏览器就暂时性,因为撞墙而昏死过去。你的网站不能谈论政治(歌功颂德的除外),否则你会被仆人请去喝茶。你不能行使你当‘主人’的权利,因为仆人会为我们做好一切。我们的媒体,比如娱乐节目CCTV新闻联播告诉我们:我国人民是当家作主的,我国的人民很有权是比美国好5倍的,我国人民的幸福指数是很高的… …, 即使在这个多灾多难的2008年,面对飞奔的物价、四川的灾难,人民的情绪还是很稳定(尤其是死者),大家纷纷表示,对生活影响不大… …
P.S:
刚刚Google一下,此次sourceforge被封,很可能是因为开源软件Notepad++公开抵制北京奥谁的运,支持西边的藏金鸡独立,而导致的。
The current blocking may be related to the recent an×××ti-China protests of Beijing Olympic Games, which began on 8 August in Beijing. Some days before, the author of a very popular free source code editor in SourceForge named Notepad++ start to boycott Beijing 2008, he said that the action is not against Chinese people, but against Chinese government’s repre×××ssion in 2008 Tib×××-etan unr==est. The boyc-otting is surely a politic issue, but refers to human rights problems in China.
Is that the reason of this blocking? Chinese authorities regularly blocks access to websites that it finds objectionable, including those dealing with politically sensitive subjects. That’s what we have been. Blocked.
注:为了防止我的仆人把这个网站也封了,上面的文字做了特殊处理。
