有没有试过一脚把一大堆蚂蚁踩死,这就是我刚看完的一部电影(中译:强战世纪?)带给我的感觉。先不论电影是不是合乎逻辑,不过,如果这部电影要带出的讯息是和平的可贵的话,我想它也已经成功了。当看见一大班人被屠杀的时候,在惊悚的同时,心里也有那么一点点的悲哀。难道一向称霸地球的人类如此不堪一击?非常可悲的是,人类目前可谓无电源无法生存,因为这样一切都被迫停顿,这不是可悲是什么?
再者,当Ray(Tom Cruise饰)带着他的儿女驱车逃难的时候,无论人类社会如何文明,如何先进,还是会在这种时刻曝露出只顾自己的劣根性。人们可以为了自己的安危不惜牺牲他人的生命,这比被外星人侵略更加悲哀。当然,我们可以很乐观的说,这只是电影内的情节。但是如果很不幸,我国被人侵略,那么同样的情节会不会从荧幕搬到现实,而我们不再是观众,而是演员?当然,没有人希望战争的发生,无论是“合法”还是“野蛮”的(在我来看,无论理由多么富丽堂皇,战争还是发生了,所谓“救难”只是那些高官为了预防自己失眠的理由),也就是这样,才会产生如此的故事来提醒我们事事以和为贵。(仅此哀悼前几天伦敦被恐怖袭击受害的人士)
当然,我也稍有提到一些不合理的地方。当然,这些并不重要,反正一部电影开拍的目的只是为了传达一些讯息,还有提供我们娱乐的一个管道。第一个不合理的当然是整个故事的主线情节,有什么理由外星人在人类出现前就打算毁灭人类的文明世界?再者,我不明白为什么人类文明那么让它们妒忌(前几天的袭击很明显告诉大家,人类的所谓文明也不过如此而已)。最后,男主角Ray的儿子Robbie也未免太大命了一点吧,明明是一片火海,却看起来毫发无伤……怎么搞的!?
饱读诗书的老师从来不吝啬于给于他或跟他分享任何的知识,于是在老师不一定有空见他的时候,他就拿着老师开给他的书单到图书馆看书。当他开始养成阅读的习惯后,他总体的成绩也跟着提高,大跌了全校老师的眼睛,尤其是以前曾经以为他笨在课堂上公然奚落的老师们。难得的是,开始因为成绩变好而人缘变好的男主角并没有因此而感到骄傲,对于以前欺负他的人也从不为难,很快地他跟全班的同学都成了朋友。
Few days ago, I posted up my response on the e-learning issue as requested by my lecturer. I was quite shocked after found out that not more than 5 people posted their response. Is this a sign showing that even though we are studying computer science, but we still do not appreciate and utilize the internet connection wisely? Or this shows that our e-learning system has some problem because it doesn’t help attracting students to login (in other word, it sucks)?
But then, I am quite impressed that there are people who rely on the internet resources in studying in my course. This is because in my college, we are rely on the lecturer for notes. If a lecturer does not provide notes for photocopying, then he/she will be in trouble when students evaluate him/her during the end of semester. Not many who are really interested finding out more on the subject somewhere else and this is probably why not many logged into the BlackBoard and post their response.
In my response, I pointed out that constant electrical supply is a main factor in order to make e-learning a success. It is quite insulting when we are already used to electricity black-outs even in this so-called “Advanced State”. Besides that, decent broadband coverage is also another important factor because not many residents in Malaysia are able to surf online with the help of broadband. Even one can surf using broadband, if he/she is using Streamyx’s service, then he/she will probably suffer from the constantly service down. Even though there are other ISPs providing broadband connection but they cant provide low cost connection. This is because wired connection that is generally cheaper is already monopolized by Telekom. In order to use other ISPs’ services, we will need to pay more for the hardware because they use wireless technology to deliver broadband connection.
If these problems are left unbothered, then I do not expect E-learning will become a trend in Malaysia.
真搞不懂,云顶真的值得我们一去再去吗?不过似乎地点不是最重要的,而是谁去比较重要。这次我就比较倒霉,因为我拾出来要穿着去的Jacket竟然在临出门的时候忘了(麻烦掌声来一下),结果冷到要死。除此之外,比较值得记录的就是在深夜一点多的时候我们一班人去了看戏(不可能的任务3),结果回到Apartment的时候已经三点多了。为了驱寒,我们几乎是跑回去的。可是副作用是,跑得太精神,所以变成睡不着了。
这句成语不懂是不是这样用的,呵呵。其实早就知道我们的成绩将在不久后释出了,只是假期太过悠闲,也没有想得太多。好了,假期要完了,就要开始烦恼了……不过还好啦,反正都已经预料到这个后果了,所以就……算啦。
刚才把横尸遍野这句话说给我的朋友听,呵呵,没想到他给我的回应竟然是“听到你这句话,我已经变成一具尸体了。”,希望他能够在当天大跌自己的眼镜吧。做人要开心点才好的嘛,你说是不是涅?呵呵。
这几天也没做了什么特别有意义的事情,能够说得上的只有帮小表妹做一个小小的photoblog网站(连接在主页左边)。我想待会儿帮自己申请一个Flikr的photo-sharing的a/c把自己相机抓下来的照片放上去。再来就是忙自己论坛的公测了(虽然进度严重落后)。
最后呢,也很开心听到我的“ex-论坛”将会在近日内恢复运作,这个论坛目前已经快杂草丛生了,呵呵。
昨天丟完飛碟去吃飯的時候,朋友隨口問了一句標題所示的問題。過去的一年,由於自己有嘗試讓多點人看到小站(所以頁末多了很多圖標什麼的)所以有在稍微留意。再加上最近爲了順應潮流,大家都在發佈一大堆年終報告,所以我也就索性跟風跟着也來發一發好了。好在這幾天用的統計軟件也隨着發佈了頗精簡的報告,所以以下的數據主要都是取自該報告。
