Vim

Today, I have decided to use Vim as my primary text editor for Windows which is the updated and extended version of Vi and bundled with most Linux systems. Vi is the text editor written by Bill Joy in 1976. The reason I've chosen is I can use it inside the DOS and so it is really convenience when I want to edit files from console. Another reason is when I get used to it, I won't have any problem to edit files inside the terminal as well. That makes me easier to work with Linux.

Nickelback - Photograph

Nickelback - Photograph

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head

And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out

And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I've broke it twice
I must have done it half a dozen times

I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in
Oh oh oh
Oh god I, I

( Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it,
time to say it
Goodbye goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it,
time to say it
Goodbye goodbye)

We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we'd know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since God knows when
Oh oh oh
Oh god I, I

I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I'm missing now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it

If I could relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Every time I do it makes me

World's largest ant colony found in Europe

Swiss, French and Danish scientists believe they have found the largest cooperative unit of ants ever recorded.

The colony is 3,600 miles long, stretching from the Italian Riviera to northwest Spain. It consists of billions of Argentine ants living in millions of nests that cooperate with each other. Some ant colonies can achieve a cooperative effort which allows them to work as one single unit, and in essence, one being.

Ants from different nests normally fight. However, researchers assume the ants in the super colony are so genetically linked that they recognize each other, despite the fact that they are from different nests with different queens.

IT and Divorce?

frank_tudor asks: "I am graduate student and work as a web developer. I am also getting a divorce and I have a son caught in the middle. I believe my profession had a part in it. For my graduate thesis I am writing a paper about Dads who work in the computer industry, divorce and custody. I think our industry causes a high rate of divorce but I need some help from the Slashdot community. My questions are: How many of you computer Dads have also gone through divorce and have retained either half or full custody of your children? Do you think your job had something to do with it? What were some of your hardest challenges and are your kids happy?"

Security Council to discuss human rights abuse in Burma

The United Nations Security Council has formally put Burma on its agenda and will now discuss political repression and human rights abuses in the country.

United States ambassador to the UN John Bolton describes the move as very significant and says it has come despite strong opposition from China.

Mr Bolton says the US considers the regime in Burma a threat to international peace and security,

"This is a major step forward for President Bush's effort to bring to the attention of the international community the situation inside Burma and its effects in its region and around the world," he said.

"What we see as a threat to international peace and security because of the... refugees, illicit narcotics, HIV/AIDS and the human rights situation inside Burma."

Ten council members, including the US, Britain and France, voted for the motion to put military-ruled Burma on the agenda.

China, Russia, Qatar and Congo voted against, with Tanzania abstaining.

Unplayed Piano

I know this song since it came out. But I listen it carefully today.Then I accept this is a pretty good song and I like it so much.



Unplayed Piano

Come and see me
Sing me to sleep
Come and free me
Hold me if i need to weep
Maybe it's not the season
Maybe it's not the year
Maybe there's no good reason
Why i'm locked up inside
Just cause they wanna hide me
The moon goes bright
The darker they make my night

Unplayed pianos
Are often by a window
In a room where nobody loved goes
She sits alone with her silent song
Somebody bring her home

Unplayed piano
Still holds a tune
Lock on the lid
In a stale, stale room
Maybe it's not that easy
Or maybe it's not that hard
Maybe they could release me
Let the people decide
I've got nothing to hide
I've done nothing wrong
So why have i been here so long?

Unplayed pianos
Are often by a window
In a room where nobody loved goes
She sits alone with her silent song
Somebody bring her home

Unplayed pianos
Are often by a window
In a room where nobody loved goes
She sits alone with her silent song
Somebody bring her home

Unplayed piano
Still holds a tune
Years pass by
In the changing of the moon

Ruby vs PHP by David Heinemeier Hansson

It sounds like an excellent idea to have some side-by-side comparisons of Ruby and PHP. I'll try to cook up some good examples shortly and post them to Loud Thinking.

On doing maintainable development in PHP:

It is certainly possible to do both object-oriented and maintainable development in PHP. I did just that for more than a few years. Rails is built on principles I realized and used in PHP.

Most languages has a sweet-spot, though. A range of tasks it does better than any other language. Building MVC-style web-applications with an attempt to foster a reusable framework isn't the sweet-spot for PHP. As I said, it's doable, but I found it much more painful than doing the same in Ruby. Likewise, I probably wouldn't use Ruby for a quick little thing little adding some level of dynamics to the 37svn blog. PHP has a sweet-spot for getting simple things working really fast and on a ton of web-hosts. The longer you move beyond that sweet-spot, the more painful it gets. (PHP5 moves this sweet-spot closer to my needs, but still falls way behind Ruby—in my ever humble opinion).

On finding Ruby:
I've long been an admirer of both The Pragmatic Programmers and Martin Fowler. The former wrote the seminal The Pragmatic Programming, many brilliant articles for IEEE Software and latest the Pragmatic Starter Kit. The latter wrote Refactoring, Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture, and a range of other interesting books.

Both the Pragmatic Programmers and Fowler had used coding samples in Ruby to illustrate programming lessons and in general talked with much fondness about this all object-oriented language with unrivalled elegance. This lead me to Programming Ruby, which in turn introduced to a community of immense devotion to this language with Japanese roots.

And now I truely appriciate why Ruby programmers hold the language in such high regard.

"Heroes never die"

This article is about the not so well-known thing between Moethee Zun and Min Ko Naing written by Moethee Zun. I found this out by googling about Min Ko Naing.

"Heroes never die"

The most important thing about Min Ko Naing is his morals and courage. I have always admired his courage. When we were very young, Min Ko Naing’s parents did not like him to hang out with me. They worried that I would "destroy" him. My parents thought the same thing of him. So we could not meet in front of our parents. But we always managed to meet each other.

We had our own signal. Min Ko Naing would make a cross with charcoal at an electricity pole, which is sitting in front of his house. That meant he was not at home. If he was there, he would just make a check mark. Then I knew he was there, and I would wait nearby. When he saw me, he would come out and we would meet. We used this signal until the 1988 democracy uprisings.

Our parents should have been worried. When we were young, I showed him how to smoke, and in return, he taught me how to swim. As we got older, we began to read more books and learn more about politics. Later we started having serious and critical discussions on the political situation and that made our parents really worry. Once my father angrily said, "Do you think our house is a rebel headquarters?" At that time, we were holding informal meetings and discussions on politics.

Now my friend is serving a 20 year sentence in prison, and I have also given a death sentence in absentia. Min Ko Naing does not work for himself, but for the people, which is why he is a real hero. I think of my friend more and more whenever I see those who are power hungry and cowards holding titles and are in high positions. But I’m sure that his spirit is still strong, and he will continue to stand up against the military dictatorship in Burma. But I’m worried about his health condition. But heroes never die.

Blowin' in the wind by Bob Dylan

It is just an old song. I listened it for long time ago. But I still like it whenever I listen it again. This time, I like Bob Dylan's vocal and his singing style so much.

Bob Dylan - Blowing in the Wind


Blowin' in the wind by Bob Dylan


How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

Sun is going to open-source Java soon

Sun Microsystems launched a portal site for its Java programming language on Tuesday as the company inches closer to making the Java code open source, a company executive said. It is a great news for all Java programmers. I think Java EE development trend will be changed a little bit then. Hoping it to be easier in future, otherwise, Java will lose its market share. Java programmers noticed the strength of Ruby language and some are even trying to switch to Ruby. Ruby is getting well known in U.S and I noticed that everybody is talking about Ruby here.It needs 10 to 15 lines of code to write a function to read a file in Java, about 3 lines of code in PHP and only 1 line in Ruby. But as I see it, this is not a weakness of Java. This is the differences between Interpreted languages and Compiled languages. I really don't think that Ruby can knock Java down. But I'm interested in Ruby too. :D

Pluralism in the social sciences

In the social sciences, pluralism is a guiding principle which is designed to permit the peaceful coexistence of different interests, convictions and lifestyles. Unlike totalitarianism or particularism, pluralism acknowledges the diversity of interests and considers it legitimate for members of society to work for their realization, to represent them and to articulate them in a process of conflict and dialogue.

Pluralism is connected with the hope that the process of conflict and dialogue will lead to a definition and realization of the commin good that is best for all members of society. This implies that in a pluralistic framework, the common good is not given a priori. Instead, it can only be found out in and after the process of negotiation ( a posteriori) what the common good is.

Consequently, the common good does not coincide a priori with the position of any one group. Still, one group may eventually manage to establish its own view as the generally accepted view, but only as the result of the negotiation process within the pluralistic framework. This implies, that, as a general rule, the "operator" of a truly pluralistic framework, i.e. the state in a pluralistic society, must not be biased: it may not take sides with any one group, give undue privileges to one group or discriminate against another one.

Proponents of pluralism argue that this negotiation process is the best way to find the common good: Since everyone can participate in power and decision-making (and can claim part of the ownership of the results of exercising power) there can also be widespread participation and a greater feeling of commitment from society members, and therefore better outcomes. By contrast, an authoritarian or oligarchic society, where power is concentrated and decisions are made by few members, forestalls this possibilty.

For pluralism to function and to be successful in achieving the common good, all groups have to agree to a minimal consensus regarding both shared values, which tie the different groups to society, and shared rules which obtain in conflicts between the groups.

The most important value is that of mutual respect and tolerance which are necessary so different groups can coexist and interact without anyone being forced to assimilae to anyone else's position in the conflicts that will naturally arise out of diverging interests and positions. These conflicts can only be resolved durably by dialogue which leads to compromise and to mutual understanding.

As to the shared rules, the most important ones are those of non-violence and of sticking to the established rules, even if dialogue is of limited reach, the other groups are hard to understand and there is no compromise in sight.

In ultimate consequence, pluralism thus also implies the right for individuals to determine values and truths for themselves instead of being forced to follow the whole of society or, indeed, their own group.

Illiberal democracy

An illiberal democracy could be any democracy that is not a liberal democracy. However, the term is almost always used to denote a particularly authoritarian kind of representative democracy, in which the leaders and lawmakers are elected by the people, but tend to be corrupt and often do not respect the law.

Illiberal democracies are found primarily outside of the West, in newly democratizing countries that do not have a history of pluralism. Without such a tradition of different ideas co-existing peacefully, the ruling party or leader—after winning multi-party elections that are mostly free and fair—behaves in a manner that violates the constitutional rights and liberties of the general population. (It was like the condition of Burma when it was in 1948 to 1962 and also until now pluralism still cannot be applied in burma as well as in opposition groups)

There is a spectrum of illiberal democracies: from those who are nearly liberal democracies to those that are almost dictatorships.

An illiberal democracy is marked by the tension between how a government is selected and how that government behaves. Illiberal democratic governments believe they have a mandate to act in any way they see fit, disregarding laws or the constitution if they desire, as long as they hold regular elections. They often centralize powers both between branches of the national government (violating the seperation of powers) and between different levels of government and private associations.

Liberal Democracy

Liberal democracy is a form of representative democracy where the ability of elected representatives to exercise decision-making power is subject to the rule of law and moderated by a constitution which emphasizes the protection of the rights and freedoms of individuals and minorities (also called constitutional democracy and constitutional liberalism), and which places constraints on the extent to which the will of the majority can be exercised.

These rights and freedoms include the rights to due process, private ownership of property, privacy, and equality before the law, and freedoms of speech, assembly and religion.

Liberal democracies also tend to be characterized by tolerance and pluralism; widely differing social and political views, even those viewed as extreme or fringe, are permitted to co-exist and compete for political power on a democratic basis.

Stem cells research, Embyro and the origin of Life


I read in news that Bush vetoed a bill of funding for stem cells research yesterday. It is the first veto in his 5 1/2-year presidency. Then, scientists around the world reacted with anger to Bush's veto on it. Bush argued that the bill would support the taking of innocent human life in the hope of finding medical benefits for others and it crosses a moral boundary that our decent society needs to respect. Mr Bush believes every human embryo is a potential life. And you?

It is not Bush alone now. Germany is also pushing for an EU ban on European funding for embryonic stem cell research. German research minister, Annette Schavan wrote: "The European Union science programme should not be used to give financial incentives to kill embryos ... The current proposal from the European Commission and the European Parliament does not rule this out." So, how many more countries will be at Bush side and how people will react is very interesting for me. Until now, California and Illinois governors have announced to raise their states fund for stem cells research against Bush.

What are the stem cells?

What do think of that? Is it acceptable for you that the taking of stem cells from Lab-created embryos. Embryo is a multicellular organism in the earliest stage of development. Once a sperm fertilize an ovum, the result is called zygote which is the combined single cell of a sperm and an ovum. Then, the zygote will begin to divide by a process to produce a multicellular organism. The stage of multicellular organism from the first division of zygote to the next stage, fetus is called embryo. Usually, the stage of embryo takes about 8 weeks. At the end of the 8th week, the embryonic stage is over, and the fetal stage begins. In stem cells research, scientists want to take the stem cells from 4 to 5 days old embryos.


Many people do believe that life begins at conception when a sperm and an egg cell combine, so embryo is a potential human life and totally against the destruction of embryos left over from fertilization procedures. Do you agree with that? It is an arguable question that an embryo is just the physical organism or it is alive. So, what do you think that when life begins?Since fertilization or zygote or embryonic stage or fetal stage or only when born. Also, how do Buddhist people believe in it? I still don't have a right answer for this now. It is related to the very old and interesting question , "When does life begin?".

U.S Gov has pressured Microsoft to offer ODF

Today, I read a news about Microsoft has been pressured by U.S Gov to offer Open Document Format(ODF) in his Office products. Actually,they already announced that their office products' format would be changed to open document before. But that is their own Open XML document format, not the ODF , a non-proprietary document format developed by a consortium of companies and they resisted to offer ODF. Today U.S gov has pressured directly on Microsoft and so it is not possible for them to refuse to offer ODF. But they said like they would develop tools to build a technical bridge between its own Open XML document format and ODF format. That means they won't adopt ODF format, they will just develop a translation tool to bridge with ODF.

Bush and Cooperations

No one else above the law !!!

No one else above the law because I am the law.

Bush and war





Bush and God

These cartoons make me think about what is happening inside Burma. They look like the same.They all use religion for the sake of social control and transform it to suit their purposes.I have learned the history of the relaion between Politics and Religion as

"In ancient times politics and religion were often one and the same. There was the concept of 'Divine Power' of kingship in which royal power is believed to be derived from god and therefore subjects should obey him. Earlier thinkers like Marsillo made an effort to separate religion and politics. Machiavelli was the first person to reject the authority of Church."





Bush,Our leader



Ever in our Control?
