The Big Bad Dumbing Effect of Internet as a Medium

Many optimists believe the new media world of the Internet and Facebook and Twitter puts more power in the hands of “the people.” I think instead we’ve sleep-walked into a nightmare world of mass attention-deficit disorder and easy distraction.
Nicholas Carr, in his 2010 book The Shallows, shows in alarming detail how the Web is rewiring our brains towards superficiality.
The information age? The democracy of media? In the age of the Internet, and “infinite media,” I see a world that is increasingly mean-spirited, anti-logical, and misinformed. (Or, to put it more bluntly: Mean, stupid and wrong).
And it’s left an open road for propagandists.
I got one of those mass circulated emails recently telling me how Lee Iacocca, the former Chrysler boss, had a “new book out” slamming Obama. It contained all sorts of brutal quotes.
The only problem? Iacocca’s book came out in 2007. His quotes were about President George W. Bush. Someone had simply doctored all the quotes and blasted out an email, that quickly went all round the Web.
For each recipient who caught the lie, a hundred won’t. Was it an amateur propagandist who sent out this email, or a professional? We’ll never know.
According to the U.S. Labor Department, there are now about 280,000 public relations managers and specialists in America. The number of reporters: Just 45,000: That’s six flacks per reporter. Good luck with that.

自行車道的謬誤

台北市敦化北路自行車道，自設置以來，各方雜音不斷，販夫走卒怨聲載道，民意代表爭相究責，政府官員左支右絀；媒體批判有之、嘲諷有之、讚揚有之，而此文，僅以一單車代步之小市民身分，略表心聲。

自行車騎乘，隨環保意識，及本土旅遊之興起，近年在台灣形成風潮。電影、電視推波助瀾、政府、官員樂而隨之，休閒車道於是在各縣市鄉鎮，如雨後春筍般快速竄出。對原本即基於習慣、或興趣、或經濟因素而習於單車代步的民眾來說，自行車從原本的小眾、躍升為主流時尚，無疑是好事一樁。

然而，在台北市，即便日益完善的河濱休閒車道，已為市民創造無數親子同樂、情人踏青的美好時光，但如今，市府企圖更進一步，在市區劃設自行車道的決策，卻在事前評估、執行過程、以及事後配套等諸多層面，犯下好幾個嚴重的邏輯謬誤。

首先、規劃的謬誤。

敦北自行車道通車後，使用率低落，除了技術問題之外，官方解釋，是路網未成形，待更多路段開通，將可逐漸發揮效益。然而，政府官員若是因為看到單車產品熱賣、河濱車道假日絡繹，因而天真推斷，此時增設市區單車道，必定大受歡迎，則顯然是錯估了形勢....

＜百萬贖金降到5千＞ 性愛照被偷 老夫妻不鳥

自由 更新日期:"2009/05/05 04:09"

〔記者張勳騰／苗栗報導〕拿加起來122歲的性愛照片勒贖百萬，被害人無動於衷，昨天得知竊嫌落網後說：「人抓到就好，相機暫時找不回來也沒有關係。」

苗栗縣65歲劉姓農民與57歲妻子，在家中拍下性愛畫面，沒想到家裡被闖空門，歹徒以性愛照片勒贖，夫妻倆認為非外遇不倫照片，一直不願交付贖款，歹徒價碼從100萬降到5000元，老夫妻仍不為所動，直到收到性愛照片，才同意以2萬元贖回，還拿玩具鈔交付，警方趁交款時逮人，被歹徒兔脫，苗栗地檢署檢察官張文傑昨天指揮刑事局等單位，拘提5名嫌犯，其中主嫌徐鉅垣等4人被聲請羈押獲准。

警方調查，劉姓農民位在偏遠山區的透天厝，去年底被闖空門，偷走8萬元和數位相機等物，歹徒徐鉅垣（35歲）2月間從男子曾文金（54歲）處取得光碟和記憶卡後，連打兩通電話向劉妻勒贖，價格從100萬元、80萬元，一路降到5000元，劉妻仍不願交付贖款，讓徐某吃癟。

徐某才將光碟轉給嫌犯賴書生（38歲）和楊德輝（36歲），賴先沖洗數張裸照於3月初投入劉家信箱，劉妻接第3通電話仍嗆聲不理會；最後劉翁同意以2萬元成交，但被害人仍跟警方配合，拿玩具鈔交付，賴、楊趁亂翻牆和開車走小路逃逸。

因勒索集團成員還涉嫌販毒，檢察官張文傑昨天指揮刑事局偵二隊及大湖警分局幹員60多人，將徐鉅垣等5嫌拘提到案。5人全否認行竊，徐鉅垣坦承打電話恐嚇，賴某坦承打電話恐嚇取款，但指是徐某授意，其中林姓男子僅出借車輛，被限制住居。

警方說，曾文金民國76年曾涉及台北縣五股強盜殺人焚屍案，89年假釋迄今，曾某否認提供記憶卡，辯稱是被害人找他出來當公親，但被害人否認。

Hallmark holiday

It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Hallmark Cards. (Discuss)

"Hallmark holiday" is a disparaging term, used predominantly in the United States, to describe a holiday that is perceived to exist primarily for commercial purposes, rather than to commemorate a traditionally significant religious or secular event. The name comes from Hallmark Cards, a privately owned American company based in Kansas City, Missouri, that benefits from such manufactured events through sales of greeting cards and other items. The company itself denies having any role in the creation of the holidays that bear this moniker.[1] Holidays that have been referred to as "Hallmark Holidays" include Valentine's Day, Mother's Day[2] and Fathers' Day[3]. As opposed to those holidays that are celebrated despite their "Hallmark" qualities, even more "manufactured" Hallmark holidays include Grandparents' Day, Sweetest Day, and Administrative Professionals' Day (formerly Secretary's Day). These are frequently ignored by a sizable percentage of the public.

Another connotation of the term "Hallmark Holiday" is that of an idealized, perfect celebration with loving friends and family.

Related to "Hallmark Holiday" is the pop-culture term "Hallmark Moment." It can suggest either a serendipitous event or encounter, or a sappy emotional appeal, especially manipulation of emotion for financial gain.[4]

Why funny guys get the babes

* Story Highlights
* Study: Women rate funny guys as more intelligent and honest
* The research relates to model that women look for men who can give resources
* Humor is also an important part of friendships, author says
* Also at the conference: "Computer rage" is commonplace

By Elizabeth Landau
CNN

(CNN) -- Attention, single dudes: Women want you to make them laugh.

According to new research, women rate funny guys as more intelligent than guys who are not so funny. The research was presented this week at the British Psychological Society Annual Conference in Brighton, England.

"Over the course of history, women actively look for signs that their man is intelligent, and I believe the ability to actively judge the situation and pull off a joke and make you laugh is an intelligent feat," said Kristofor McCarty, a researcher at Northumbria University in Newcastle, England, and author of the study, in an e-mail.

McCarty's study asked 45 heterosexual women aged 18 to 30 to rate various self-descriptions of men, some funnier than others.

He invented the fictional lives of 10 men and then created a funny and not-so-funny vignette from each of their perspectives. Then, participants read all 20 descriptions and rated them on qualities such as likeliness of friendship, likeliness of long-term relationship, honesty and intelligence.

One example the study designated as high-quality humor was this: "I was standing in a mental illness ward the other day when I heard a doctor speaking to a new nurse on the ward. He was really giving her a telling-off, and his parting words were, 'And remember, when it's busy, don't go around saying it's a madhouse,' " McCarty said.

By contrast, a statement low on amusement was, "I was out skiing last year when I ended up slipping all the way down the mountain."

To set a general standard of humor, McCarty did a preliminary study to test which jokes and humorous statements were the funniest on 35 females aged 18 to 30.

Women said the men with the funniest descriptions were significantly more likely to be candidates for long-term relationships, as well as friends. Participants also rated the more amusing men as more intelligent and honest.

Previous research in evolutionary psychology has indicated that for long-term mating, women value a man's likelihood of acquiring resources: for instance, someone likely to earn a good salary. That idea recalls the early days of humans, when women relied on men's resources during childbearing years.

The study, though small in sample size, also relates to this model. A more intelligent person is less likely to fall into traps, McCarty said, and may be more able to provide for a mate and children. Read more about the brain and human behavior

Given that laughing makes people feel better, it also makes sense evolutionarily that women would prefer men with a good sense of humor, especially to help with the hardships of taking care of children, said Helen Fisher, biological anthropologist and author of the recent book "Why Him? Why Her? Finding Real Love by Understanding Your Personality Type."

"People who have a good sense of humor may be likely to lighten up very bad situations and therefore reduce the stress response and simply enable you to get over the hump in bad parts of the relationship," said Fisher, who was not involved with McCarty's study.

Humor also helps creativity, said Peter Derks, professor emeritus of psychology at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, who did not work on McCarty's study. The field of positive psychology -- which looks at well-being and happiness -- posits that humor leads to happiness and happiness leads to health, he said. This suggests that humor does have some survival value as well.

But humor is not used only in long-term sexual relationships, McCarty said. It plays an important role among friends and "also developed as a desired trait in friendship for social reasons," he said.

Do men also think funny women are more intelligent and honest? Time constraints prevented McCarty from exploring this question, but he said research suggests that men don't care much about women's sense of humor.

"A man wants a woman who laughs at his jokes and is not too bothered if his girl isn't funny at all," McCarty said.

On the other hand, Derks said, researchers have found that women who are good at being funny -- eliciting laughter -- are seen as positively as are funny men.

Here's another tidbit from the British conference: Research indicates that "computer rage" -- including shouting at your computer and hitting the keyboard and mouse -- has become a common expression of anger and stress relief.

John Charlton of the University of Bolton, who presented at the conference, said these expressions were mostly linked to unsatisfactory work progress and time pressures.

「花幣」 台灣首見社區自印貨幣

【聯合報╱記者梁玉芳／台北報導】 2009.03.16 05:51 am


在世界不少地區風行的先進理念「社區貨幣」，在台灣出現第一個實踐者。台北花園新城一群居民自行印製社區貨幣「花幣」，會員自稱「花錢‧幫」，幫友的各項才能都可標價，舉凡清水塔、帶小孩、剪髮、教英文或台語，都可以用花幣交換，透過「花錢」來「幫」助彼此，活絡在地經濟。

「社區貨幣」理念國外行之有年，在台灣，首度以社區貨幣形式出現的社區行動在去年五月試行，八月正式上路。發起人之一江慧儀表示，經過居民多次討論，去年發行三種面額的「花幣」：十分、卅分及六十分，由前幫友生態版畫家賴吉仁設計，紙幣上印了台灣原生種生物，還蓋有社區鋼印，以防「偽幣」。

幫友劉艷如說，願意支持「社區貨幣」理念的居民繳新台幣一百元入會，可以換得兩百分的「花幣」，購買居民的商品或勞務時，可以付花幣，也可以「以物／務易物／務」。

「花錢幫」謙稱還只是「小幫派」，正式幫友約五十多人，但認同者都可參加交易，提供的服務五花八門，充分展現居民的想像力，例如粟太太家有全社區最好的向陽大陽台，提供「幫上班族曬棉被」，十分花幣換回一床陽光香味；江慧儀烤的蘋果派只要六十花幣，也有居民自願幫上班族照顧利用太陽熱能的「太陽能鍋」，下班回家就有熱水及熱飯，不消耗能源，只要花幣十分的代工費。社區的瑜珈教室收現金、也收「花幣」。

When Starbucks goes budget...

Starbucks offers coffee-breakfast combos, cites economy
Story Highlights
Starbucks to offer pairings of coffee, breakfast for $3.95

Company's sales have taken a hit as the recession has deepened

Survey: Starbucks' price premium has dropped over the past 18 months

Starbucks' pricing "now largely on par with Dunkin' Donuts," research found

By Ekin Middleton
CNN

(CNN) -- Starbucks, better known for amusingly complicated premium coffee offerings, took a cue from fast-food chains and announced a plan Monday to sell pairings of coffee and breakfast for $3.95, citing the economic downturn.

With the $3.95 breakfast offer, customers will be able to get a 12-ounce coffee with a breakfast sandwich or roll or a 12-ounce latte with either oatmeal or a coffee cake.

The company called the latest promotion an extension of various other recent Starbucks offers, including a loyalty card and discounting 16-ounce cold drinks to customers who made a purchase at Starbucks that morning.

But the move may be more targeted to drawing back business lost to more cost efficient retailers like McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts.

Starbucks reported a profit of 9 cents per share in the last quarter of 2008, compared to a 28 cents per share profit a year earlier. The company announced last month it was slashing 6,700 jobs and closing 300 stores on top of the 600 stores it shut down in 2008.

Over the last two decades, Starbucks transformed coffee from a commodity drink into a luxury item, growing into a chain with over 10,000 cafes internationally. But sales have taken a hit in the recession.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Howard Schultz, the company's chief executive, said the economic environment "is a reset of both economic and social behavior."

Research done by William Blair & Co. suggests Starbucks' price premium "has nearly evaporated over the past 18 months, with pricing now largely on par with Dunkin' Donuts." The survey found that when adjusted for size differences, some varieties of Starbucks coffee were cheaper than Dunkin' Donuts. According to the research, McDonald's is still cheaper, but the price gap has narrowed since 2007.

Blair & Co. also predicted that a trend downward in same store sales in 2008 would continue in 2009.

Michelle King, a spokesperson for Dunkin' Donuts, told CNN the company still believes it is "the faster and more affordable alternative." Calls to McDonald's were not immediately returned.

拿援金去賭城挨批 富國銀：不去了

【聯合報╱編譯朱小明／報導】 2009.02.05 04:27 am


接受政府250億美元紓困的美國富國銀行（Wells Fargo）竟然計畫招待員工赴拉斯維加斯，享受12天的豪華假期，被國會議員痛罵「麻木不仁」，富國3日匆匆取消度假計畫。

富國在賭城兩家頂級飯店Wynn和Encore訂房，原本準備由6日起展開12天年度員工活動，開會兼度假，參加者都是抵押部門主管。富國並計畫25日招待40名保險部門員工赴拉斯維加斯，在另一家高級飯店開會三天。

富國去年第4季虧損25.5億美元，今年股價跌了37%，豪華賭城活動的消息被美聯社揭露後群情譁然，富國起先還振振有詞的辯稱，年度員工活動是公司傳統，對獎勵員工非常重要。但美國國會議員氣炸了，眾議員卡皮托說：「有沒有搞錯！這些人還想拿納稅人的錢去玩骰子，簡直是麻木不仁，太離譜了！」被罵到臭頭的富國在數小時後發表聲明，表示年度員工活動已決定另議。

富國每年招待數千員工度假，往年的活動包括有直升機接送、品酒、騎馬的波多黎各假期，觀賞雪兒等大牌藝人表演、騎駱駝等，有一次並請來算命師為員工算命。員工透露，活動期間，每晚回房間，枕頭上都會有一份禮物。

失業相對論

財產清算需兩年 雷曼成華爾街人才避難所

【經濟日報╱編譯于倩若／道瓊社二日電】 2009.02.03 03:58 am


雷曼兄弟公司在去年9月倒閉，不僅聲譽掃地，還被迫搬出美侖美奐的總部大樓，但近來為雷曼工作已成為華爾街最炙手可熱的職缺之一。

這是因為雷曼雖將大部分的事業賣給巴克萊資本公司和野村控股公司，手上仍握有形形色色資產，包括70億美元現金、逾1,400筆總值123億美元的私人投資，及50萬紙與4,000個交易夥伴簽訂的衍生性契約。

到為前為止，雷曼是在近幾月失業的大批金融專才眼中相對安穩的避難所。雷曼甚至成為前執行長傅德（Richard Fuld）的非正式工作場所。

雷曼現任執行長、負責監管雷曼清算業務的馬索（Bryan Marsal）說：「我們正因處理履歷而忙得不可開交。」他說，這些求職者全都大有來頭，曾在美國銀行（BoA）、花旗集團、摩根士丹利等明星級企業工作過，「現在景氣冷颼颼，求職者滿街跑」。

以過去的標準來看，雷曼開出的薪酬並不誘人，但有許多看不見的福利，例如，雷曼可能至少需花兩年才能完成清算，雀屏中選的應徵者在這段期間大可不必擔心沒頭路。

紐約的整頓業者Alvarez & Marsal公司（A&M）負責收拾雷曼的爛攤子，馬索是該公司的共同創辦人。該公司出動了150名全職員工處理雷曼破產案，首要任務是出清雷曼剩餘資產並盡可能補償債權人。雷曼積欠債主逾1,500億美元。

馬索的目標是在未來18至24個月把雷曼悉數拆解出脫，但許多重整專家認為，這個時間表太趕。

雷曼董事會去年9月指派A&M管理雷曼資產，為完成任務，A&M留下130名雷曼職員，也聘回逾200名前雷曼員工，且現在仍在招兵買馬，負責管理衍生性金融商品與房地產等業務。

在雷曼倒閉時遭眾人唾棄的前董事長兼執行長傅德，已在今年1月1日從雷曼的員工名冊中除名，且不得再使用公司提供的黑色賓士車，但雷曼讓傅德保有一間辦公室。馬索每周都會徵求傅德對雷曼業務的看法。馬索說：「我們告訴他，要是沒打算另謀高就，不妨留下來，關於雷曼資產的問題，他是知無不言。」

農業真偉大

OECD：中國陷入實質衰退

【經濟日報╱記者陳慧敏／綜合報導】 2009.02.03 03:29 am


正在英國訪問的大陸總理溫家寶說，大陸經濟要「保八」會有難度，但是相信中國經濟下半年會好轉。

華爾街日報報導，一些經濟學家預估，大陸隨著失業率上升以及生產、投資和消費增速放緩，中國今年的經濟增長率有可能降至5%到7%，也就是「保八」無望。

失業率急升 成長率將下降

一些分析人士說，「保八」一詞可能最早出現在亞洲金融危機期間，中國的國內生產總值 (GDP)增長率在1998和1999兩年分別滑落至7.8%和7.6%。

經濟合作與發展組織（OECD）的首席中國經濟學家理查德‧赫德(Richard Herd)說，不必賦予「保八」太多意涵，經濟活動陷入低迷就是衰退，沒必要給中國經濟貼上是否陷入衰退的標籤。

中國社會科學院研究國內經濟問題學者張斌說，沒有什麼理由將「保八」的經濟成長率，當成就業增長和社會動蕩之間的分界線。

商業安全諮詢公司Control Risks得中國和東亞業務高級分析師安迪‧吉洛姆說，難以對穩定這個詞來量化，中國曾度過1989年的困難局面，當年中國政府鎮壓了天安門廣場的民主示威。那一年中國GDP只增長4.1%。

赫德說，中國龐大的農業是經濟成長下降的緩衝器，農村吸納了中國41%的勞動力，還能再吸納一部分製造業的失業人員。

農民工回鄉 數字續會攀高

溫家寶表示，受到金融危機影響，中小企經營面對困境，截至去年底已有約1,200萬名農民工回鄉，估計隨著金融危機加劇，數字仍會上升。

GPS帶錯路？大湖採草莓 枉塞四小時

【聯合報╱記者范榮達／苗栗縣報導】 2009.02.03 03:04 am


過年期間到苗栗縣大湖鄉採草莓的人，大都飽嘗了塞車三、四小時之苦，警方懷疑是衛星導航惹的禍，因為衛星導航把駕駛人導引到距離最短、卻狹窄多彎的縣道一三○線，捷徑反成遊客的「苦難之路」。

「早知道就不要太相信衛星導航！」苗栗警分局五組巡官劉國雄轉述民眾的抱怨，指大年初三、初四兩天，不少塞在三義鄉水美街及一三○線的民眾紛紛抱怨衛星導航帶錯路，害他們原來半個小時的車程，卻開了三、四個小時。

苗栗分局副分局長陳志榮說，分局雖在中山高三義交流道附近派了廿多名警員及義交指揮交通，但車潮還是一波接著一波，根本無力疏散。

春節期間，三義木雕街、西湖渡假村等景點都吸引大批遊客，更多人則是全家到大湖採草莓。不少駕駛人車上都加裝衛星導航，按照最短距離規畫路線，從三義交流道下中山高走水美街，再右轉一三○線，使一三○線塞爆了。

警方說，一三○線部分路段尚未拓寬，加上多彎、路陡，山區路段常有濃霧，在台十三線路口交通量也大，很容易塞車。

「實在有夠離譜」！世居三義的黃姓婦人說，過去春節假期時，她都會騎機車到中山高三義交流道附近看別人塞車，印象中一三○線從沒有發生過大塞車，今年年初四她帶團進香，一行人卻陷入一三○線的車陣中動彈不得，一塞兩個半小時。

警方建議，要到大湖的車輛，應從苗栗交流道下中山高，往東走台六線或台七十二線到大湖，雖然距離遠一點，但一路暢行無阻，「衛星導航恐怕沒這麼聰明」。

Sex offender wins $500,000 Alaska lottery

Lottery winner reportedly convicted in 1993 and 2000 for sexual abuse of a minor

FBI: Alaska has the highest per capita number of rape cases in the United States

(CNN) -- An Alaska lottery held to raise money for a group that helps sexual abuse victims had a surprise winner: a convicted sex offender.

Alec Ahsoak, who according to the state sex offender registry was convicted in 1993 and 2000 for sexual abuse of a minor, came forward Saturday with the winning ticket for the $500,000 Lucky Time Pull Tabs jackpot.

Proceeds of the lottery help Standing Together Against Rape in Anchorage, a nonprofit group that offers support to sexual assault victims among other services.

"It's not how we had envisioned the story going," Nancy Haag, the group's executive director, told CNN Radio.

Alaska has the highest per capita number of rape cases in the United States, according to FBI statistics.

"With a ranking that high, it's ironic that the person who wins is a convicted sex offender," Haag added.

Ahsoak's past was first revealed by KTUU-TV in Anchorage on Sunday. His attorney, Lance Wells, did not immediately return a call Monday from CNN.

Efforts to reach lottery organizer Abe Spicola, who owns Lucky Times Pull Tabs, were unsuccessful late Monday. But Spicola told the Anchorage Daily News that Ahsoak "was going to buy a house and said he was going to donate part of it to God, and, you know, charity."

樓上的帖子實在是寫得太好了。

文筆流暢，修辭得體，深得魏晉諸朝遺風，更將唐風宋骨發揚得入木三分，能在有生之年看見樓上的這個帖子。實在是我三生之幸啊。

看完樓上的這個帖子之後，我竟生出一種無以名之的悲痛感啊，這麼好的帖子，如果將來我再也看不到了，那我該怎麼辦？那我該怎麼辦？直到我毫不猶豫地把樓上的這個帖子收藏了，我內心的那種激動才逐漸平靜下來。

可是我立刻想到，這麼好的帖子，倘若別人看不到，那麼不是浪費樓上的心血嗎？經過痛苦的思想鬥爭，我終於下定決心，犧牲小我，奉獻大我。我要拿出這帖子奉獻給世人賞閱，我要把這個帖子一直往上頂，往上頂！頂到所有人都看到為止！
　
在遇到你之前，我對人世間是否有真正的聖人是懷疑的；而現在，我終於相信了！我曾經忘情于兩漢的歌賦，我曾經驚訝於李杜的詩才，我曾經流連於宋元的詞曲。但現在，我才知道我有多麼淺薄！　

樓上，你的高尚情操太讓人感動了。在現在這樣一個物欲橫流的金錢社會里，竟然還能見到樓上這樣的性情中人，無疑是我這輩子最大的幸運。讓我深深感受到了人性的偉大。

樓上的帖子，就好比黑暗中刺裂夜空的閃電，又好比撕開烏雲的陽光，一瞬間就讓我如飲甘露，讓我明白了永?的真理在這個世界上是真實存在著的。只有樓上這樣具備廣闊胸懷和完整知識體系的人，才能作為這真理的惟一引言者。

看了樓上的帖子，我陷入了嚴肅的思考中。我認為，如果不把樓上的帖子頂上去，就是對真理的一種背叛，就是對謬論的極大妥協。因此，我決定義無返顧地頂了！　

說得好啊！我在討論區打滾這麼多年，所謂閱人無數，就算沒有見過豬走路，也總明白豬肉是啥味道的。一看到樓上的氣勢，我就覺得樓上同在討論區裡灌水的那幫小混混有著本質的差別！

那憂郁的語調，那熟悉的簽名，還有字里行間高屋建瓴的辭藻。沒用的，樓上，就算你怎麼換代號都是沒有用的，你的億萬擁戴者早已經把你認出來了，你一定就是傳說中的最強ID。

自從討論區改版之後，我就已經心灰意冷，對討論區也沒抱什麼希望了，傳說已經幻滅，神話已經終結，留在討論區還有什麼意思？沒想到，沒想到，今天可以再睹樓上的風範，我激動得忍不住就在螢幕前流下了眼淚。

是啊，只要在樓上的帶領下，討論區就有希望了。我的內心再一次沸騰了，我胸腔里的血再一次燃燒了。樓上的幾句話雖然簡單，卻概括扼要，一語道出了我們苦想多年仍不可解的幾個重大問題的根本。樓上就好比討論區的明燈，樓上就好比討論區的方向，樓上就好比討論區的棟梁。有樓上在，討論區的明天必將更好！　

大師的話真如“大音希聲掃陰翳”，猶如“撥開雲霧見****”，使我等網友看到了希望，看到了未來！晴天霹靂、醍醐灌頂或許不足以形容大師文章的萬一；巫山行雲、長江流水更難以比擬大師的文才！黃鍾大呂，振聾發饋！你燭照天下，明見萬里；雨露蒼生，澤被萬方！

透過你深邃的文字，我仿佛看到了你鷹視狼顧、龍行虎步的偉岸英姿；仿佛看到了你手執如椽大筆、寫天下文章的智慧神態；仿佛看見了你按劍四顧、指點江山的英武氣概！　

逐字逐句地看完這個帖子以後，我的心久久不能平靜，震撼啊！為什麼會有如此好的帖子！我縱橫網路BBS多年，自以為再也不會有任何帖子能打動我，沒想到今天看到了如此精妙絕倫的這樣一篇帖子！

(騙錢的)態度

馬多夫這個名字，一般人或許沒有機會聽說，但在華爾街，或是佛羅里達的鄉村俱樂部裡，這個名字卻是響噹噹，相當受到上流社會的敬重。 說敬重，是因為馬多夫雖然不至於高不可攀，但他卻擅長營造神秘感，一種只有圈內人才有資格買他的基金的氣氛，也因此，投資人從來都不太清楚，到底他的投資組合是什麼，更別說是外界或監管機關了。 這位闖蕩華爾街半世紀的金融老手，到底是從一開始就刻意詐騙，還是投資失利，挖東牆捕西牆，最後紙包不住火，演變成可能是史上最大宗的金融詐騙案，美國調查局和證管單位，現在都傾巢而出，針對本案和類似的金融犯罪，展開徹查。

播報稿： 出庭結束，馬多夫一現身，所有媒體就像老虎見到了肥羊，一擁而上，馬路到大門口，短短幾公尺，寸步難行，曾經風光的華爾街大老，穿著刻意低調，所到之處卻像是過街老鼠。 伯納德馬多夫，70歲，紐約人，猶太裔，前納斯達克證交所董事會主席，現任馬多夫投資證券公司總裁，和無數慈善、非營利、教育機構的金主兼掛名董事，馬多夫在華爾街出道很早，1960年，年紀輕輕22歲，他就創辦了自己的證券公司，根據他自己的說法，創辦資金5000美元，是他暑假當救生員、打零工的收入。 過去近50年，馬多夫從仲介商發跡，跨足投資銀行、投資顧問，成為華爾街知名券商之一，他積極推動證券交易電子化，以加快撮合速度和交易數量，從中賺取更多手續費，1971年，採用自動報價的那斯達克股市成立時，馬多夫就是幕後重要推手，而他也順勢入主了當時的那斯達克董事會。 檔案影片中，馬多夫對著聽眾侃侃而談，金融法規滴水不漏，想要犯規偷跑幾乎是不可能，對照他現在自首犯下的驚人詐騙案，聽來格外的諷刺，到底馬多夫是用什麼手法，讓投資人甘願雙手奉上億萬家財，多年下來毫不起疑?知情人士說，他靠的是一種不招搖、「非請勿入」的VIP專屬姿態。 曼哈頓社交圈，和有錢人渡假的佛羅里達鄉村俱樂部，是馬多夫犯案第一現場，他的基金不對外公開，只透過熟人介紹，馬多夫本人點頭，才能夠加入申購，由於客戶不多，毋須向主管單位註冊，操作又極度不透明，整個交易透露著「不可說、不可說」的氣氛，弔詭的是，正是這種神祕感，吸引一個接一個，企業老闆、富豪名流，盲目上鉤。 按照馬多夫提供的資料，他的基金12年來，只有5個月呈負數，其餘都只漲不跌，2008年11月，全球股市崩盤，無一倖免，馬多夫的對帳單上，卻仍然寫著5.6%淨值成長，反常的績效，逐漸令人起疑，如今不可說的投資秘技，揭穿了只是不可告人的高明騙術，馬多夫面對可能的20年刑期，和5000萬美元罰款，但不少投資人失去的，卻是一輩子的積蓄和家產。

The high cost of playing Warcraft

By Cristina Jimenez
Technology reporter



A record has been set for the sale of virtual items in an online game as a World of Warcraft account is believed to have changed hands for almost £5,000 (7,000 euros).
The deal was done in early September and for their money the new owner got a level 70 night elf rogue called Zeuzo.

The price was so high because Zeuzo possessed magical items, including the twin Warglaives of Azzinoth, owned by only a handful of Warcraft's nine million active players.

The powerful items were gained by the character's original owner completing some of the most challenging parts of the game.

Cash call

World of Warcraft is an online fantasy world in which players create characters and take them adventuring. The characters gain experience and become more powerful by doing all sorts of quests (kill this, find that, deliver this).

At the higher levels many players band together to go on raids to kill the most powerful enemies and get the best loot.

Zeuzo's creator, who took the rogue from level zero to high level hero, was contacted for the BBC by other players but he would not confirm or deny reports of the sale.

The Method guild of which Zeuzo was a member also declined to comment on the the sale.

However, the BBC does have independent confirmation that the account was sold for a figure of about 7,000 euros.

Some Warcraft players who know Zeuzo's creator did speak out.

On condition of anonymity one said: "The trade was simple. It was a case of the buyer finding out that Zeuzo was currently the best geared rogue in game."


"Zeuzo received a whisper from a person who said that wanted to buy his account and convinced him by offering more and more money each time for it."
He said Method was disappointed to lose such a good character, but at the same time, understood the final decision.

Oliver Koppany, a fellow player chosen by Zeuzo as a "spokesperson" added: "He had been undergoing financial hardship and that was the only reason why he sold the account."

The new owner moved the valuable rogue to another server and re-named it Shaks.

High risk

Bill Vaughan, editor of IncGame's World of Warcraft website, said many people bought accounts to get over the grind of taking a character to the highest levels of the game.

"It generally takes an average person anything up to 600 game play hours to reach the current highest level," said Ms Vaughan.

Account selling is a growing phenomenon and the average price currently hovers around the £200 mark.

"The problem is," said Ms Vaughan, "you have no idea how to play the character properly."

"Within a short space of time, you would be subject to the embarrassment of other players noticing your lack of skills, and it would be very apparent that you had either bought your account, or had paid to have your character levelled," she said.

But, said Ms Vaughan, worse than other players noticing someone has bought their account is catching the attention of Warcraft creator Blizzard. Selling accounts and in-game items is against the terms and conditions people sign up to when they start playing.

Blizzard has banned up to 100,000 accounts in a month for illegal gold trading or cheating in the game. In a statement the company said it took the action: "to promote a fun and fair environment for all our players."


"Blizzard has an interest in enforcing its rules, but it has to spend substantial amounts of money to do so," said Greg Lastowka, a law professor from Rutgers University who specialises in intellectual property and technology regulation.
"Account sales can sometimes be hard to detect, depending on the technology that a game company uses to gather information about users," he added.

In this case Blizzard caught on quick. It banned the account about five days after it was sold.

Big business

While account selling is controversial among Warcraft players, for some it has become a business prospect.

"Account selling is a ludicrous business indeed. I have friends who make good money without moving one finger," the BBC was told by one player. "You can earn 200 euros without doing absolutely anything."

He said many buy a new account for 12 euros, then pay a gold farmer to power-level the character in 20 days and then when it had reached level 70 sell it back for 400 euros.

Dee Patel, an ex-Warcraft player and a game industry professional, admitted having sold his account for £650 on eBay.

"I could have been offered a lot more for my account but I was just wanting to stop playing and wanted to get rid of it," he said.

Last January, eBay banned on-line games account selling on its website. But thousands of other sites offer similar auction services.

Globally the business is huge. Edward Castronova, an academic studying the economics of online gaming at the University of Indiana, estimates that the real money trade - people paying real cash for virtual items - is worth around $300-$400m.

How did Thai protesters manage it?

By Jonathan Head
BBC News, Bangkok

Claiming victory, the yellow-clad hordes from the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) rolled up their mats and sleeping bags.

They queued for souvenir autographed scarves - yellow of course - from the leaders who had taken them into this astonishing act of insurrection, and boarded buses and pick-up trucks for the ride home.

An army of cleaners, technicians and security personnel moved in behind them to get Bangkok's $4bn (£2.7bn) state-of-the-art airport back into operation.

Within a few days the mass sit-in will just be a surreal memory.

But the questions their actions have raised about the state of Thailand will continue long after the last plastic hand-clapper is picked up and disposed of.

How could a country as advanced and as dependent on exports and tourism as Thailand allow such a vital transport hub to be stormed by a mob that never numbered more than a few thousand?

What is the PAD, and what gives the movement the confidence to commit its dramatic acts of economic sabotage without fearing any legal sanction?

Weak police

The airport sit-in shows the PAD's skill at pulling off bold and unexpected stunts.

When the first PAD convoys approached the airport last Tuesday, they said they were only going to protest against then-Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat, who was due to arrive back from the Apec summit in Peru.

The government had a strategy of avoiding confrontation - it did not want a repeat of the disastrous events in October, when several PAD supporters were seriously injured in clashes with the police.

The police were under orders not to use force and retreated.

No-one thought the PAD would try to take over one of the world's biggest and busiest airport terminals.

In fact, PAD organisers told the BBC they had carefully planned the seizure of the airport weeks before.

The weakness of Thailand's police is also important.

They have proved no match for this determined and organised movement. They are poorly trained in riot control, and lack the status of the army.

When it became clear that the PAD was set on taking over the airport, the local governor asked the army for assistance. None came.

As throughout this year, the army's refusal to help contain the PAD has left the government with no means of resisting this insurgency.

The police are up against an organisation of considerable logistical strength.

It is a remarkably well-trained and well-funded movement.

Logistical efficiency

One of the many retired generals supporting its occupation at the airport observed that it should be seen as a military, not a civilian organisation.

Behind the "aunties with clappers" and well-groomed young women clutching lap-dogs that are the public face of the movement are squads of hoodlums, armed with batons, metal spikes and hand-guns who man the barricades and hunt down intruders.

One morning I followed them as they dragged an alleged government spy off to an undisclosed location, kicking and punching him.

I was unable to find out his fate. Some of these thugs are members of private armies run by retired generals.

The PAD's logistical efficiency is impressive.

Within hours of occupying the airport it had ample supplies of food, water, blankets and medicines for the thousands of supporters who joined the sit-in.

The food never ran out. You could get your mobile phone charged, or have a massage. PAD cleaners were brought in to keep the floors and toilets in order. The duty-free and check-in areas were sealed off and vigilantly protected by PAD guards.

The PAD's propaganda arm is equally impressive.

It runs its own television station, ASTV, which is widely broadcast and pours vitriol on the government.

Everywhere the movement goes it takes mobile stages, on the back of trucks, which blare out speeches and music from dawn until the small hours of the following morning.

The message is simple: Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is evil, stole the people's money and will destroy the country. The poor rural people who voted for his party were all bribed, and unable to think for themselves.

Some of those taking part in the airport occupation had been listening to these firebrand speeches for months, without a break.

They all passionately believed their actions were worth the cost to the country, to see Thailand's politics cleaned up.

The question of who is behind the PAD is a subject of intense speculation in Thailand.

I met a lot of ethnic Chinese entrepreneurs at the airport who were helping keep the PAD supplied.

But much bigger Thai businesses are widely believed to be financing the movement, including at least two national banks.

Royal support?

Thaksin Shinawatra made a lot of powerful enemies while he was in office with his aggressive efforts to re-shape the country.

These are now using the PAD militants to get back at his party.

There are also plenty of former military commanders offering their help to the PAD - people like General Pathompong Kesornsuk, who has openly urged the army to launch a coup against the government.

One of the top PAD leaders is Chamlong Srimuang, a former general with close ties to Gen Prem Tinsulanonda, the king's most senior advisor.

Then there is the most sensitive question of all - the royal connection.

The PAD has justified its actions as being in defence of the monarchy, and the king's portrait has been displayed prominently during all its protests.

Senior figures close to the palace have openly supported the movement.

When the queen offered to preside over the funeral last month of a PAD protestor killed during clashes with the police, it appeared to be a tacit blessing for the movement.

Some in the government even believe the revered king may be backing the movement, although at the age of almost 81 this seems unlikely.

Hard evidence is difficult to come by. But people's actions in Thailand are now being driven as much by what they believe as what they know to be true.

The government and its rural followers believe there is a palace-army-elite conspiracy to rob them of their electoral mandate.

The PAD and its middle-class followers believe the pro-Thaksin camp intends to turn Thailand into a republic, and overthrow the existing social order.

With so much believed to be at stake, compromise between the two sides is almost impossible.

民進黨的金主，是深綠舊地主資產階級，台獨親日皇民草地人派，淺綠是本土自我意識本位中產階級派，小蔡不敢切割陳水扁，怕失去重要金援，而淺綠在經済蕭條後也無力捐輸，向深綠靠攏謀取血源而不敢切割。不切割陳又將失去淺綠大版圖的人氣和選票，明年的選舉不用玩了。

台聯黨要換路線中間，向左靠攏。用意不錯，但是問題在李登輝身上，沒有淺綠要聽他的。弄了半天，還是深綠，明年選舉也將是全軍復沒，等著關門打烊。

馬英九已經掌握群眾，不冒進。利用電視專訪，低姿態解析政事，偶而為之，效果甚於天天說教，百姓傾耳仔細聽講。在不干撓司法獨立，讓証据說話，公正公平的辦下去，對深綠更是打擊，馬英九的軟中帶硬的道功，將會一步步施展，無聲無影掌控一切。

小蔡能再玩下去嗎？要錢？要人？政治是兩種皆要的「權力」啊！軍無餉則士不來，軍無賞則士不往，有錢能使鬼推磨。對中產階級，希望理想最重要。小蔡妳能拿出來嗎？

蔡英文好好哭吧！哭完後擦乾眼淚，一腳一步從基層從新做起，深綠是神，尊而不親。妳的戰場是在淺綠啊！

何必拯救火星文？

張大春：何必拯救火星文？

【聯合報╱張大春】
2008.09.23 07:52 am


張大春
上了點年紀的人一不小心就會變得憂國憂民，彷彿舉世滔滔，都在發動著令人感覺心有餘而力不足以應付的禍事。文字其一也。

我素所尊敬的長者們和我一向不太尊敬的長者們成立了一個「拯救國文聯盟」，看來是個「準群眾運動團體」，要呼籲全民重視國文教育，因為「我們國民的國語文程度已經低到不能再低的地步了」。他們不能忍受「囧」字在「透明」、「明亮」之外，另有「困窘」、「羞慚」、「被打敗」之別解。就如同香港地區的長者不能忍受「喪」字成為一個比「勁」、「極」、「超」還要用意強烈的副詞；大陸地區的長者也不能忍受：一個「雷」字，明明就是雲層放電所發出的聲響，為什麼會有這麼多年輕人以此字作動詞，意思卻是「驚疑」、「震撼」。

因為隔閡 自曝於長者之林

我在念初中的時候，常和鄰座的梁達年、孫凱相約讀書，我到現在還能順口誦出「鋰鈉鉀銣銫鍅」這一系活潑金屬的原因，正是一塊兒背化學元素表的三個人經常用這六個字形容班上同學的調皮程度。三個人之中，偶有某一人耍調皮，另外兩個還不免脫口而出：「你也太『鍅』了一點吧？」在我們三個人短暫成形的那個小圈子裡，不明白「鍅」意指「調皮之極」或者「過度活潑」，則不啻為智能上的欠缺，也是隔絕於我們那三個人的小圈子之外的具體象徵。

用這個微末細瑣的人生片段為例，我們稍稍有一些年紀的人應該知所覺悟：對於慣用語符的顛倒、訛冒、扭曲、穿鑿……有時並非出於無知，而是搬弄；並非源於誤解，而是諧仿；年輕人—尤其是年輕人—也許根本不在乎其所使用的語言是否能與大多數人溝通；相反地，大多數不能解其語言而無法與之溝通者，反而因為這隔閡而明顯地自曝於長者之林。

青春短暫 長輩也曾「屌」過

相對於掌握了社會上一切有形、無形資源的長者來說，年輕人除了短暫、匆促的青春，還有甚麼足以驕人的成就呢？另一方面，恰恰是令人不忍回顧的青春已經走遠了，長者們大多忘了自己在年輕的時候也曾經嘗試著用些新鮮的語言來標示自己和前一代長者的不同。我三年級的長輩教我使用「屌」字形容「很棒」的那年，我那一字頭的爸爸曾經明令告示：在家中與長者說話，不得使用此字。五年級的人發明「唬爛」這字眼之際，四年級生已經不大敢用「蓋」字作口頭禪了。六年級生以「機車」暗咒他人的時候，還在使用「雞掰」罵人的傢伙所現形的不是粗鄙，而是老朽。

「Orz」是一個用英文字母拼裝而成的會意字，別以為它就是畫面所顯示的「拜服」而已，在許多時候，這個字符被用來表現一種難於言說的無奈，大約等於口語中的：「我敗給你了！」

同樣地，「囧」也可以附會於孟克那張〈吶喊〉而引伸出恐怖、以及overwhelming的意思，但是，更多使用這字符的人很可能祇是在表達一種「無言以對的鄙夷」。

由於廣泛使用而形成的意義分歧恐怕要比「漢字怎麼可以使用英語符號？」或者「古體僻字怎麼可以當作人臉而以象形解之？」諸如此類的問題更為深刻。字義歧出—正是「眾說紛紜」這個成語所顯現的意義—將要證明一點：使用這種新語符的人越多，它就越不能準確地被瞭解和使用。也正是因為「眾說紛紜」，最後會讓使用這種語言的社群自覺無能溝通而崩解。

新流行語會起來 驅逐火星文

從而—無論在網路或其他公共媒體上—使用新創語言的年輕人始終應該明白的是：就在他們的身後，更年輕的孩子們也正在醞釀著令他們無法逆料的語言，換言之：全新的流行語正準備著要趁前一代無從防範之際驅逐他們。

火星文一點兒也不可怕，它們只是會被下一代的火星文驅逐而已。至於長者，請容我不客氣地說：無論長者可敬與否，憂心都不利於餘年，而長者若有可觀可仿可摹寫之文字流傳，也不至於因為年輕人太「鍅」而磨滅。

政策殺人 也殺鯨

2008/06/29

鯨和鯊，都是海中大型生物，近年來牠們的保育越來越受關注，但亞洲人的飲食文化，卻和這股保育潮流正面衝突，日本人吃鯨肉，華人吃魚翅，都遭到國際批判，到底吃鯨、吃鯊，礙著誰了？

捕鯨，是有幾百年歷史的人類漁業活動，由於十九、二十世紀的大量捕殺昔日濫捕 ，11種巨型鯨類中，目前有七種、瀕臨滅絕。1986年，國際捕鯨協會頒佈禁令，停止商業捕鯨行為，但日本漁船以科學研究名義，每年照常出動遠洋漁船，獵殺上千條巨鯨，日本的鯨肉美食文化，也日益精進。

二次大戰後，戰敗的日本，物資缺乏，鯨肉成為四面環海的日本，民眾營養的方便來源，這是日本吃鯨習俗的由來。時至今日，日本躍升經濟大國，衣食無缺，鯨肉解決糧食需求的時代背景，早已消失，但日本政府從政策面，堅持延續捕鯨活動，並主導推廣鯨肉美食文化：鯨生魚片、鯨肉沾醬、鯨肉漢堡。

在沿海的和歌山縣，小學營養午餐裡，經常可見這一道，炸鯨肉。和歌山漁民不只捕鯨，也捕海豚。歐美保育人士和好萊塢影星，今年11月在捕殺海豚最盛的太地，上演火爆衝突。美國電視女星目睹海豚血染大海，幾度落淚的畫面，又把鯨豚捕殺的爭議，推上了新聞版面。

無視國際禁令，繼續捕鯨的，還有挪威與冰島。但保育人士追蹤鯨肉流向，發現挪威人與冰島人不吃鯨肉，捕撈多數供應出口，結果，還是賣給了日本。面對保育界的質疑，日本當局解釋，主要是希望維繫鯨肉，在傳統文化中的地位，同時，日本政府也反駁，聲稱鯨類數量在限捕多年後，已經脫離瀕危狀態。

需求導致殺戮，是保育團體把箭頭對準日本的原因。日本官方執意保存吃鯨習俗，勢必不斷刺激漁民的捕撈動機。海洋資源保育的不易，部份在於評估工作的高度困難，科學家對於何謂正常的族群大小，沒有定論，各方估計現有鯨類數量，又各執一詞，國際組織難以約束國家行為的現實下，捕鯨爭議，還是只能在汪洋大海上，用肢體抗衡。
