eclipse is handy

even so, the help descriptions are sometimes so long for reading.

all I need are step-by-step examples.

"Ghost in the Shell"

What is "Ghost in the Shell"?

it's about within a computer system, the corrupted code sections are combined or re-arranged in an logical sequence which can execute in an unexpected result.

Potential reasons:

* dirty/unstable power source, eg, lightning, radio interference,

* defected memory modules (capacitors leak voltage)

* system overloaded

* storage media read/write error due to exceeding maximum number of R/W cycles,

* memory defragment,

* garbage collection,

* FAT corrupted,

* virus,

* improper/incomplete shutdown,

* memory leaks

* unsupported File system format

... etc.

High Risk "ghosts" creators:

* pointer, especially function pointers

* vector table

* '\0' in strings

* any index table

* bad programmers

Possible solutions:

* redundancy

* RAID

* checksum

* watchdog

* worst cases defined

picking headphones

usually what you can get from the market is 20Hz - 20kHz range... even thought you pick from a pair of rather expensive headphones

however, I'm using a pair of 2nd-cheapest Sony headphones which look dull, but amazingly giving me the range of 12Hz - 22kHz.

it is difficult to explain how much better... but sure it is. the bass is more powerful. It has much thicker layers of sound realization & recovery.

nm-applet error to load some resources

network manager can have problem with some theme! what?!

my system

ok, for linux, I can pick whichever combination I like. I'm the fan of SuSE 10.1, Gnome, OpenOffice. Plus, now I'm happy with my configs:

gmail is mapped to evolution: instant messaging gaim: wireless card configured: shortcuts are my favourite setup: cvs, perl, gcc, and java are configurated with vim: netbeans running for my school assignments: join robocode project in spare time: scim & changjei are running: online dictionary, online weather report, online stock: my favourite game minesweeper, szechuan mahjong: non-open source realplayer for rmvb movies (anyone care to teach me how to watch DivX?): I don't have 3D accel card so no xgl experience (a little bit regret) ...

in general it's a stable - a productive development platform! if I had matlab linux version for lab report, then I probably won't need to log into Windows at all.

now working with selecting language in the control center. scim is installed automatically. done. simple.

Robocode version 1.1.1

After 1 year, new version is available today here

test blog entry window from linux suse 10.1

i reinstall linux on my laptop. took me so long time to fix that wireless problem. make sure that the required modules are installed before starting the build. (eg. kernel-source, make...)

information can be found from madwifi.org, the newbie how-to page. follow instructions (make, make install...)

last time i used directly a binary file from someone else, worked. this time not. (or i didn't know what i did last time. who knows. hehe..)

some procedure i have problem entering the command line commands, i switched to gui yast.
