Great to see your new writing again! well your experience gives me another excuse of not learnning to type Chinese...my lack of patience might cause me to break my computer out of frustration if i try... *Most importantly, we hope your surgery will be a very successful one with speedy recovery. If you were in TWN, chi-gong therapy could do better job than pain killers ( I personally experienced its amazing effect after a surgery, basically the pain killers given by NTU hospital was untouched)... - yes how American lawyers/law firms abuse their power to rip off many innovative idividuals/companies and to benefit those sneaky lazy opportunists has shown the world there is even a need to have a truly independant international court (not monapolized by American lawyers) who can make fair judgements on cases...(i know it sounds almost impossible, might not even be the best solution- i think Judges without certian industry's indept knowledge is the problem...?) NO need to wait for long after TPP becomes effective...many countries will pay up billions for the years to come under TPP's ISDS clause, big Corps can sue many small countries out of their existence, and therefore their govts will surrender their controls of own countries...and we all know who will be those who truly own and control those countries afterwards.. it's not science fiction, it's happening...to those who still dream about TPP fantacy land
There is a small chance that the new Canadian government may object to TPP. Let's hope it happens elsewhere too.
我也谈谈自己在使用电脑中文方面的个人看法,作为一个有超过20年电脑硬件和软件开发的IT专业人士。我个人已经完全放弃使用Windows的机器14年了,解决方案其实很简单,把windows扔进垃圾桶,使用Mac OS X。苹果电脑不管是在look and feel的用户介面和整个系统的稳定上,还是使用的软件的feel上都非常切合用户的人性。拿中文来说,中文的输入法几乎可以随心所欲,你可以把台湾的中文繁体,香港的中文繁体,新加坡的字体甚至大陆简体轻易混合排放,输入法非常灵活。
