Source favicon20:03 新修版《倚天屠龙记》 » DBA notes
前几天看完了新修版的《倚天屠龙记》。这部金庸自认为破绽最多的小说在情节上也做了很多修改。兵书秘笈不是藏在刀剑之中了,修改为藏在桃花岛上。据说这是来自科学的质疑。对刀剑的来历也做了一些变动,杨过赠送郭靖玄铁剑打造成屠龙刀,君子剑与淑女剑合造成倚天剑。刀剑也不是简单的互碰即可折断。而是在某处慢慢的磨才可。只是我觉得倚天剑的锋利就不可解了。唉,反正是小说,就当是那么回事吧。 感情线的变化最大,也令人唏嘘:
金庸在书尾添加了近千字,重新勾勒张无忌、周芷若、赵敏、殷离、小昭总共五人之间的未来发展可能性。简单地说,书中表示“这四个姑娘,每个人都是很好很好的……” 新版周芷若明确要求张无忌不得与赵敏拜堂成亲。因为昔时在濠州,赵敏曾以抢婚阻止了周芷若、张无忌的结合,所以周芷若在书末回敬以同样条件。嘴硬的张无忌说自己会和赵敏在蒙古天天形影不离,生娃娃做夫妻,只差没有拜堂成亲。但周芷若对自己很有信心,也对张无忌的“变”很能掌握,她告诉张无忌:“过得十年八年,你心里就只会想着我,就只不舍得我。” 若再加上小昭自波斯去信张无忌,说自己愿意重新当张无忌的小丫头,以及张无忌认为可从西域找回殷离等新的变更,新版《倚天屠龙记》的结局是张无忌有更多选择,四位美女都是合格候选人。
对于周芷若, 添加了一大段内心独白,类似前面说过的“往事依稀”来处理。从某种程度上弥补了一点她的恶毒. 旧版中朱元璋夺权笔墨不多,只是在最后设下一计,逼走了张无忌。新版则是通过手下将士来逼宫,明教高层以大局为重(驱逐蒙古人),颇有些投鼠忌器的意味在里面。 谢逊出场变动了一些,旧版中天鹰教一干人物根本不识谢逊,新版对此作了变动。这倒是合理的。另外,在最后谢逊在地牢刻画的情节也去掉了。这个情节去掉怕是不得已而为之,因为前面对在小岛上周芷若杀殷离(其实未遂)、赵敏(未遂)做了不少细节的变动,不过金庸老爷子还是不能自圆其说。 玄冥二老的结局也进行了调整,新版中张无忌用九阳功化去二人的阴毒内力,令二人不能作恶。 比较有意思的是,小说中的一段鲜为人知的谋杀案,似乎添加了更多线索,书中交代范遥当年对黛绮丝十分钟情,这倒似乎是提供了犯罪动机。 其他,对老年文化的崇拜还是没什么变动,动不动都是七八十岁的老头子比小伙子还厉害,这可太不容易了。 --EOF--

Source favicon11:31 招女的比男的好? » Bo’s Blog 邵博客
两天前在香港碰到一个跨国公司的老总。他在中国做了15年多。第一个工作是那时候中国最有名的药厂西安杨森的总经理。(我记得我长大时西安杨森是少数电视广告做得不错的,不像那时别的广告都是先拍些厂房的镜头,然后让公司经理穿着看着像中山装的西装在工厂的门口说几句话。当然最有印象的的是Rejoice的美女洗头广告,可惜后来被宣传部拉了。这是(十六岁男孩的)题外话。) 这位老外中文说得不错,几个月以前刚退休。退休前在中国管理3000个人的企业,年销售额20多亿人民币。他的高层管理人员75%是女的。 他的理论是:在中国的白领男人压力太大。要养家糊口,要买房子(动不动是一百万朝上), 要买车子。所以公司留不住,对他再好,只要别的公司工资高一点,他会放弃长久的利益去追求现金。如果他还没结婚的话更惨,因为丈母娘的要求更高(我有亲身体验:)。而总的来说,白领女人的压力比较小。相对更看重公司的文化、前景,老板的好坏,职业的长期发展等等。 那时易趣里,也是女将半边天。(有趣的是,后来eBay招的高管都是男的) 。易趣时我记得好几个面试的人背了债或按揭,易趣要请他,就得帮助他还债。这些人都是男的。 各位先生、小姐、老板,同意老外的观点吗?下辈子投胎,要做女的还是男的?

docuburst.jpg
a new data visualization method for representing document content by a radial space filling layout technique. "docuburst" aims to provide a more intuitive abstraction than those developed through statistical techniques.

the root node is shown as a circle. all other nodes are assigned to a sector of an annulus with angular width which is part of the parent node’s width, depending on the amount of word occurrences. highly coloured nodes have many occurrences, while almost transparent nodes have few occurrences.

Source favicon05:20 Regional Content is Geo-normous » Burning Questions - The FeedBurner Weblog

Every once in a while we like to slip a new feature in under the radar. Several months ago, advertisers purchasing inventory in FeedBurner's Ad Network for blogs and feeds got the ability to geo-target their ads to specific countries, states, and designated market areas (DMAs). While that's an interesting tidbit for you media buyers and marketers out there (and if you knew what DMA meant, chances are that's you), the rest of you Burning Questions readers might be more interested in a related trend we've noticed: the increasingly local nature of content. Last week's post highlighted BizJournals' 100 news feeds in local markets around the US - and they're being joined by an ever-growing list of publishers who focus on their local markets. The result? Feeds make it increasingly easy for audiences to keep tabs on their favorite cities, no matter where they're located.

Take New York. Even though they dismiss our unfoldable, takes-an-hour-to-cook deep-dish pizza, we still enjoy feeding the island of Manhattan. (Speaking of which, looking for a feed about pizza? Check.) Check out the latest sampling of new FeedBurner publishers covering the goings-on in New York City:

These publishers join a very long list of FeedBurned feeds offering insight about the Big Apple: Gawker, Curbed, Gothamist, Metadish, Metroblogging NYC, NewYorkology, WNYC and countless others.

Are you publishing a FeedBurner feed about the The City So Nice They Named It Twice and we forgot to mention you? Shame on us! Drop a link into the comment section and make it right. (And we promise to use not even one more tired nickname for Gotham. Promise.)

Source favicon00:21 Running the Relay Del Sol » Official Google Blog


At Google we like to do things fast -- that's why you get search results in a fraction of a second, and that's why 12 speedy Googlers traveled to Phoenix this past weekend to run the Relay Del Sol. The Relay Del Sol is a 187-mile overnight relay race through the Arizona desert.

Between the time Dan Brown started us off at 6 pm on Friday night and the time that I crossed the finish line at 1 pm Saturday afternoon, we each ran three grueling relay legs. Some of those legs were in the dark of night, with coyotes howling in the distance and us wearing lights and reflective gear to make us visible to cars. Other legs were in the heat of the desert sun -- and cacti don't provide much shade.

Through it all, we stuck to our aggressive goal pace of just over six minutes per mile. It was good that we could run that fast, because we faced some serious competition from the MarathonGIS team. After about 130 miles, they were just seconds behind us.

We responded to the challenge, though, and really turned it on for our third set of legs. As we approached the finish in Scottsdale, we had built up a solid lead. I knew that victory was within reach when I took the handoff for the final leg.

When I approached the finish, I saw my team waiting to cross the line with me. I pumped my arms in the air and flashed a huge smile, overwhelmed with the amazing teamwork and tremendous personal efforts that everyone contributed to the race. We came across the line together as the first place team. It was a great victory for us and an incredibly fun weekend.

Here's our team:


Back row, left to right: Belsasar Lepe, Eddie Higgins, Don Faul, Tom Phillips, Dan Brown, Sean Knapp.
Front row, left to right: Nathan Stoll, Chris Estwanik, Chris Holstrom, Jared Jacobs, Katie Hotchkiss, Bismarck Lepe.
