How China Destroys Your English 标题耸人听闻了一点,不过内容丝毫不夸张。这些错误我一个都没犯,看样子我比在中国混的老外强啊。 外一篇:Stupid or Stay? 这个问题我有发言权。 按照词典列的标准,“待”和“呆”都是正确的。目前媒体的推荐用法是“呆”,80后的人也大多习惯用“呆”。但是80前的人基本都用“待”,因为那个时候学校里教的正确写法是“待”。我也是因为小学时期受的教育根深蒂固,所以一向用“待”。 另外,我始终不赞同“呆 = 待”的用法,尽管这种用法有词典撑腰。举个最简单的例子: 我在阳台上待了两分钟。(不会有任何误解。) 我在阳台上呆了两分钟。 (到底是发了两分钟的呆,还是停留了两分钟?) 所以,我一直拒绝用“呆”来表示stay。我的书里也出现过不少“待”字,责任编辑一开始都改为“呆”,后来在我的坚持下一一还原为“待”。在这里谢谢我的编辑一下。 Bonus video: Nelly Furtado - Say It Right

偶然发现的,输入 link:www.dbanotes.net 查询反向链接,结果数量为 0。怪不得 PageRank 也变为 0 了。

问题在哪里 ? Google 一旦抽疯起来还真让人莫明其妙。在 Yahoo! 中的反向链接结果倒是没啥明显变化。

Source favicon20:15 支持“致招商银行的公开信”行动 » Blog on 27th Floor
徐继哲发起了一个“致招商银行的公开信”的行动,希望用这种方式促使招商银行改变在公众服务中使用专属软件的作法,取消客户端上的ActiveX技术,而转用其他公开的、开放的,不限制用户平台的技术。在此,对这一行动表示强烈的支持!

达到同样的目的,完全可以不采用这种微软专有、并且只能运行在Windows平台上的技术;而招商银行并非只服务于微软用户,而是服务于全体公众;做为一家提供公众服务的银行,不应该限制用户用什么操作系统。这种技术本身也有很多麻烦,最新的IE7里已经不再随意安装,今后势必会给普通客户造成困扰。招商银行听说是用微软方案的,但实在没有必要为此强迫公众都成为微软的客户。其实,招商的信用卡网站如果用Mac+Safari似乎也是可以登录的(最近没试)。

其他任何提供公共服务的机构都不应该做这种伥鬼,这些机构自己用不用微软技术是自己的自由,但和社会公众的接口应该是开放的。FSF也在新闻中对此进行了报道。

我对招商银行也是颇有好感,所以才想支持这个行动,换成其他几大银行,大家只怕根本不会有这心思。

You may have noticed today's Google Doodle on our homepage in celebration of romance and good food (something we consider extremely important).

When you look at the logo, you may worry that we forgot our name overnight, skipped a letter, or have decided that "Googe" has a better ring to it. None of the above. I just know that those with true romance and poetry in their soul will see the subtlety immediately. And if you're feeling grouchy today, may I suggest eating a strawberry.

A very happy Valentine's Day to everyone!

Searching for Love? Or Just Love to Search?

On the bus home from work, Jim realizes it’s Valentine’s Day and he hasn’t prepared any dinner plans with his wife Katie! Instead of panicking, he pulls out his Windows Mobile device and opens Live Search for mobile.

He navigates the Categories list to Restaurants, then Ethnic Restaurants until he finds Italian Restaurants, Katie’s favorite food.

     

He scrolls through the results until he recognizes a place his buddy Frank recommended to him last week. Bringing up the details, he clicks one more time to call the restaurant and make reservations.

       

Just to be sure, he gets step-by-step driving directions to the place, and checks the traffic. By the time he gets home, he’s ready to surprise Katie with his plans for a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner!

If you’re looking for a romantic restaurant like Jim, or need to find the nearest florist on the go, download Live Search for mobile at http://wls.live.com (from your phone) and find the way to a loved one’s heart.
