Windows XP had its heydays. Since then, my Windows computers, both XP and 7, have nearly never crashed or frozen.

I don't know, man. I like the blue color on the topmost bar in the programs' windows in Windows XP. I like it.

For aught I know, time passes fast.

There are some indubitable things in life.

One is that if a person is already 40 years old, he'll probably bear a child or two before long, he's still on the nearly lowest rank among the professional workers in one of the Canadian offices of a large Western corporation, and his English proficiency is in fact just close to that of an average teenage Canadian junior high school student, then the chance of his climbing to the executive level in that company is quite slim, indeed, very slim. Time's running out and the competition too much and too strong.

The friendship had been crushed time and time again by the man's motives and behaviors, J thought, and he sighed.

But what good is a friendship with the man? It's destined to be cracked, J also thought.

So many Chinese fans have been watching the flights of European soccer stars in Euro 2012.

With retail workers galore, no wonder their earnings are not high.

I lighted on Dover sole. It tastes good.

English appreciation - a quote

Done to death by slanderous tongues
Was the Hero that here lies."

My wife and I are afraid that our toddler daughter is an epicure. :-)

Sometime it's really difficult to please her palate.

Without the themes of love, friendship, and humanity which can be typically found in classic literature, the ugly and difficult reality can crack one's hope of and confidence in humanity, sometimes.

Roosters crow, people speak, and leaders converse, read, and think.

Reasonably, people can suspect that workers at RIM have been cracking under enormous pressures.

All these years, I've been ogling many varieties of biz insights. Hopefully the next ten years will bear fruits of that.

Lately I've really seen that an individual's career or biz vision, aspiration, and potential is NOT really just the resultant of his most recent SEVERAL years of work and life, instead, it is the resultant of at least TEN recent years of his work and life.

I hadn't known what the differences are among biscuit, cookie, and cracker.

So I headed to my internet search engine to find it out. However, after having skimmed the top part of the painfully long article at http://www.foodtimeline.org/foodcookies.html , I'm still almost confused as ever.

Fixing computers is a potent way to waste time.

Will the crash of the Facebook biz be inevitable within 15 years, given the rise and potential of Pinterest.com, Path.com, and the like?

I'm not sure if my creativity in its general term is strong. But I'm apt to be highly analytical and probing.

And I'm capable of asking a volley of questions in order to dig around and deeper into a subject or a particular train of thought.

In Canada, two past tech giants, Nortel and RIM, have crashed one by one.

Now, will Bombardier face a somewhat similar fate in the future, given the forceful and lower-cost competition from Brazil and China?

How many conquests had the ancient China taken from its neighboring countries?

And how many ones has Russia done?
