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.

Unfortunately, many lawyers posture.

How many jobs can the flourishing ARM Holdings create for the U.K.?

I haven't been able to stop searching for a comprehensive, as well as exact, description of ISO image. But now I capitulate.

I dislike the verbosity of Java.

The syntactic baggage the programming language carries has caused my mind and my typing fingers to have emotional baggage. :-)

I wanna do away with coding Java bon mots.

Men are not meant to be amiable.

Are women meant to?

It appears that France seldom vacillates in striking back at terrorists in Middle East and Africa.

Bombs have been scintillating across the skies of those areas. Sigh.

Eventually, karma dictates that what goes around comes around.

Be your own man.

Do your own thing.

Répéter, mon ami.

Assez, ma ami.

Many Chinese immigrants who are software people haven't fully comprehended that the English language proficiency is crucial for their careers, it seems.

Well, thanks to the fact that modern universities only care about publishing academic papers, unversities have largely been reduced to a demiworld of expensive paper mills.

A reform must be carried out, for the sake of young students, as well as their parents.

Mr. President Obama did a mic drop recently. Among the presidents, he's a cool one.

It seems that some Western policies are sanctimonious.

It's undeniable that desktop Ubuntu had been a trailblazer which had contributed enormously to Linux distros' usability.

It is pivotal to be proficient at Linux.

Mrs. Hillary Clinton infamously lacks candor.

Can the world entrust the most powerful country on the earth to a sly and ailing woman?

It seems that women, even Charlize Theron, desire hypergamy in their psyche, whether or not they admit it.

It must be their inescapable nature.

Bonsoir, mes amis.

Comment ça va, mon français? Ça va bien.

Ratifying one's employment contract means that the working hours are totally owned by the employer.

The commonplace diet in Montreal is surely helping people hurtle towards early aging.

I for one increasingly don't understand why many people are covetous of living in the United States.

All in all, what's better about living there? The cuisine? The culture? The gun control? The break down of the institution of family?

Linux Mint, a Linux desktop distro done right.

The rigmarole of the U.S. presidential election campaign has been cut short by Hillary Clinton's aging ailment.

And, I wonder why the Democratic Party didn't have in place the due diligence of some sort of prescreening of their potential candidate's health conditions. Why?

Didactic and passive university lectures cannot get you very far in the professional working world.

It's sick that both the male and female genders go off on each other.

There's no lack of wars throughout the human history. Now it's the gender war.

Even many unwitting people are involved as tools of the brainwashing feminism.

It's been reputed that more and more women in their thirties have hit the wall, if you like, in their dating/mating.

Over the hill, be done for. That's the typical reality.

Comment ça va?

Très bien.

Unkempt front yards reveal that having a home yard can be too much to bear in terms of the cost of time, as well as money.

Diatribes from diehard feminists are almost all over the mass media. Blah blah blah...

More and more men have awakened from being manipulated pussycats.

Ah, the terse Linux man pages.

Sometime you wonder if they were written by intentional spoilsports.

The Lord Inquisitor appears to be a good short animation movie.

Ah, all those news platitudes which permeate the North American news media. TL;DR.

I for one refuse to get my time wasted by them.

C'est toi là-bas? Salut.

Bien, merci. Et toi?

People seem to like striped awnings a lot.

I took a shine to the GNOME Terminal years ago. But now I mostly use the Xfce Terminal.

I like seeing retail cashiers who with a fastidious way fold or organize my newly bought stuff into my carrying bags.

In textbooks, this often appears: 'Be sure you can define the following terms: ...'

Hong Kong films have been very luminous.

做得嘢。有料到。

Babbling away in Cantonese... :-)

The egocentric American women have been losing plenty of ground during the past 100 or so years.

Sigh.

In Montreal, a battery of restaurants and food counters try to feed people lackluster sandwiches, hamburgers, fries, as well as fattening pop drinks.

What's the taste of them? Plain. Sigh.

And the prices people paid for those bland foods? The disaster of the ever increasing obesity.

Will I find scintillating spots in the English lyrics of Filipino pop songs?

C'est chaud. Je vais à la piscine.

Shunning Facebook and alike has been providing me a little respite from the modern insanity of information overload.

The instant and smooth fall and evasion of the big spider was a clear manifestation of its agility and experience.

Just one or two years ago, people were agog over Apple's hefty profits and rosy prospect.

Now the company's future seems bleaker, by contrast.

All those girls in resplendent dresses, why have there been less and less men looking at you?

If you ask men, mostly they would answer one word, "feminism."

Viva, vivacious girls.

Bravo, profound men.

The ongoing gender war is an obdurate one.

And many individuals have paid or will pay hefty prices during it.

Are the inevitable major culprits the modern suffrage and the whole shebang of modern democracy?

Black hair is sleeker.

Le nom 'Jacques' en le français...

It will become increasingly elusive for Apple Inc. to maintain its own ongoing paramount prominence in the market, I'm afraid.

What major and tangible innovative success, which should be on the magnitude to sustain their historic legend, has come out from their door during the past 5 years?

The free market is apt to send a frisson of fear to employees, as well as companies, from time to time.

If you ride carousel for long, young pretty gals, your very own promiscuity is going to catch up with you.

Metrosexual men are everywhere.

I always have niggling doubts about Android's future.

Not the present, I mean the future.

I'm apt to lean towards the upcoming Ubuntu Touch.

In bringing J up, his parents were taciturn.

A cajoling voice doesn't mean that the person is nice to the core.

The typical American way of life seems to be unceremonious.

Which way of life wouldn't seem so if people are crazy busy?

In summer, Southern China swelters more than Canada. Much more.

But in winter, it freezes less than the latter. Way less.

The idea of living in a ruburb doesn't appeal to me.

Uber is much more than merely a sharewashing company.

It seems that Taiwanese companies are not very responsive to innovations yet.

Individual freedom facilitates economic growth.

The so-called 'invisible hand' of market can be haphazard oftentimes.

You rely on it at risk to yourself.

Muggy summer days...

Android is sort of transmogrified Linux.

Blabbing to the gossip press about celebrities' private life's tidbits seems to be a huge business.

Yo, man, bring out your swag.

Counselors are in charge of children at summer camps.

They offer counsel, but not council.

Ugaritic is an ancient Semitic language of the primeval Ugarit.

And it's closely related to Hebrew.

It feels extraordinary to see a figure like Donald Trump vie for the presidency of the United States of America.
