Stresses and strains are inevitable in life.

Une chic gare.

Un chien bien en chair.

Well, Samsung's impetuous upper management has made a severe mistake in the ongoing infamous account of Galaxy Note 7.

Too fast, too soon.

Well, the preceding sentence is also applicable to overly explicit female K-pop singers/dancers.

The prodigious Linux operating system nearly always makes me feel empowered.

For that matter, the Cinnamon desktop environment is a handy one.

On the other hand, it's hard for me to stand some Apple fanboys who still lampoon the Windows operating system along the outdated line of "I'm a Mac (vs.) I'm a PC".

The French are said to be grumpy.

The sad thing is, to survive on this earth, we as individuals have to acquiesce in the contemporary American style capitalism.

I've been sticking to my guns these years.

Wall-to-wall news coverage on TV is a boon at eateries, I consider.

At my beck and call.

Les quais à le fleuve Saint-Laurent.

"Fast! Fast! Time is money. Don't waste money." The man exhorted his low-wage farming workers.

That's an interesting scene in the old American movie La Bamba.

Many Americans and Canadians, who are under 50, are seekers of understated glitz, it appears.

Nowadays I mostly take news pieces from assiduous and accurate media.

Unfortunately, Taiwanese media don't meet that criterion.

Compared to that of Japanese cities, the streets' layout in Montreal generally doesn't look very picturesque, eh?

Sooner or later, your capacity to trust people will be done a number on, in this capitalist world which is increasingly governed by as well as which promotes self-interest and monetary gain.

Camaraderie exists between men, especially after they learned the nature of women.

Un Zoulou, avec sa histoire.

Personally I feel less languor in Canada than in China.

When dealing with machines and devices, what's up to date may be the best.

But when dealing with human beings, that may be not the case.

I want to replenish my inventory of traditional Chinese culture.

"Boom!"

"Eek!"

IT security failures are encroching upon our time and life.

So many corporations' management is incompetent on that front.

No commiseration should be given to the failed financial institutions.

Just a bunch of money-grabbers who hijacked the whole economy by the monopoly over monetary liquidity.

Provable work skills, instead of faddish nanodegrees, are what matter the most in the job market.

The self tuition of a typical technology worker is so mammoth in terms of the amount of time invested.

Windows laptop PCs are my normcore statement to stand against Macbooks. :-)

But then, of course, I run efficient Linux distros, instead of the stock Windows operating system, on the commodity hardware.

For their own best interests, the people across the globe shouldn't follow the American hedonism so much.

What can that way of life bring?

See what the real life in the United States is like. Far from happiness, I'd say.

You want to diversify into different operating systems.

Among the myriad available options, the stable but walled garden of macOS is one, and Linux Mint is another.

I don't know why the reports about Google's technologies take precedence over those about other companies', say, Amazon's.

Well, for the time being, Google has more money at their disposal.

But the real question is, is Google a stable supplier?

In this world, more and more things have gradually become to strain our credulity.

For instance, the Western marriage vow.

It seems nowadays, relationships that are amicable are impossible.

Either willingly or unwittingly, we've been catapulted into digital economy.

When will the Canadian doctors and lawyers be so, too?

Devine, mes amis.

Does city life catalyze creativity more than suburban life does?

I guess so.

The Linux world is full of easter eggs and hidden treasures for software development.

And, Windows' desktop environments are flamboyant and verbose, whereas Linux's ones are understated and terse.
