Common mistakes in Unciv Modding
- 07 May 2026
Unciv is an open source clone of Civilization V. I have been playing it for a while and decided to try modding it. The modding process is quite straightforward. The modding is done by creating json files. You can find the built-in ruleset at yairm210/Unciv and start from there. Once you have a mod, you can download it in the mod section in game by providing the downloading address. The game also has a mod list that is based on github repos. On a Windows machine, you can find mods in the mods subfolder of the game and inspect the folder structure of mods and how they are json files work. You can add new nations, beliefs, units or buildings by copying the existing by copying the existing ones and rename them. But from what I see, a lot of modders make mistakes due to misunderstanding of the unique system and their code didn’t work.
The most common mistake is to assume building exist but they don’t in a different ruleset. For example, some mods has this:

My Google Drive is getting full. While I am cleaning up large attachments in Gmail, I notice the storage usage did not decrease but actually increased. I am getting more emails everyday. So I decided to write a program to see who’s sending me the most email and delete some old mails.
Windows 11: install failed, windows 10: Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation
- 21 December 2025
When I was trying to install Windows 11 on my spare computer that used to run out-of-support Windows 10. After backing up data and deleting all partitions on the disk in Windows RE, I encountered an error message that read “Windows 11 install failed.” It doesn’t give much information about what went wrong.
I then tried again with another install media created by Rufus to check if the issue was with the installation media. However, the problem persisted.
Unwanted Horizontal scrollbar from Javascript DataTable
- 06 December 2025
I am using the Javascript DataTable component to provide a sortable HTML table experience in Front Mission and 4th Super Robot Wars gaming guides. However there was a long standing issue that the table shows horizontal scrollbar even when the content is not too wide.
I have tried a few solutions I found online, including setting scrollX to false, adding table-layout:fixed; width: 98% !important to the dataTables_no_scroll_x css class and apply it to the table, and adding overflow-x:hidden !important; overflow-y:auto !important;to the dataTables_scrollBody css class, to no avail.

Merge wordpress.com site with GitHub Pages
- 07 May 2025
As I am a tech person familiar with HTML/CSS/Javascript, the WordPress.Com free plan’s limitations has been an obstacle to my creatively (e.g. add sortable tables). I have a Github Pages web site running for a few years now and I think now is the time to migrate to github pages.
I first looked migration tutorials on the internet. For me the Exporter Plugin (https://blog.netnerds.net/2020/08/migrating-my-wordpress-sites-to-github-pages/) is not an option, as one of the WordPress.Com free plan’s limitations is plugin support. Exporting the content looks like the only way to go, but how to import the exported WordPress XML to formats supported by Github Pages is another problem.
ExtensionError: Could not import extension sphinx.builders.latex
- 07 May 2025
Today I got this error when building my blog based on Sphinx after upgrading Sphinx to the latest version.
when I do a pip list, the 4.1 version of roman_numerals is indeed installed. Just the build script cannot find it. It probably has something to do with the fact that roman-numerals-py (deprecated) is also installed. Older version of sphinx that requires roman-numerals-py instead of roman_numerals.

Misleading Error Message WARNING: All children of a ‘grid-row’ should be ‘grid-item’ [design.grid]
- 30 April 2025
Today I am hit by a message “WARNING: All children of a ‘grid-row’ should be ‘grid-item’ [design.grid] “ from the sphinx-design extension when building a Sphinx documentation. The error line points to a grid that works perfect fine in another file.
After some digging, it appears that when the next paragraph is indented as quoted text, no matter how many blanks are in between the grid still think it as its children.
Misleading Error Message WARNING: All children of a ‘grid-row’ should be ‘grid-item’ [design.grid]
- 27 April 2025
Today I am hit by a message “WARNING: All children of a ‘grid-row’ should be ‘grid-item’” from the sphinx-design extension when building a Sphinx documentation. The error line points to a grid whose only members are grid items.
After some digging, it appears that when a space is missing between .. grid-item-card:: and the card name, then the card won’t be recognized as a card, and generates this message.
Today’s phishing email RE: Your App឵Ie lD Has Been DisabIed Pending Further Verification
- 03 January 2025
My mom received this email and asked me verification. It is obvious fake, but the red flags are worth noting.
The only help from the email provider is marking the email as sent by mail.txu.com. Which is still spoofed, but nevertheless makes the email suspicious, as the email pretends to be from Apple. There is also a clue in the email itself, the terms of service URL in the email somehow points to Netflix, probably to filter out people too smart to attack.

Querying Wikipedia data using SPARQL
- 05 May 2023
Recently I have been working on a trainer for a football manager game. The game has a player database, when a player retires, another with the same last name would respawn in some other club. When you play the game for many seasons, the player database becomes gradually out of date. Fan patches are created but due to the amount of work involved (check the team roster for every minor team in every league, for starters) only a few patches are ever created. My goal is to get some actual real players to replace the respawned ones and refresh as time elapses.
I first tried to extract data from a recent football manager game. However, it has some issues that made me rule out of using a database from another game. First, different games have different way to rate players. Some attributes in another game can be mapped to the game I am working on, but for other attributes, I need to come up with values for thousands of players, most of them I have never heard of. Yikes. Second, the game would only list current playing players. Thus I might miss players retired early,

Extend a webbrowser control using ICustomQueryInterface

This article is written with the help of ChatGPT. I want to see how far ChatGPT can go solve this and if any correction needs to be made. ChatGPT went pretty far but still made some mistakes.
To extend a WebBrowser control using ICustomQueryInterface, you can create a new class that implements the ICustomQueryInterface interface and then use the SetSite method of the WebBrowser control to set the new class as the site for the control. Here are the steps you can follow:

New web server hijacker HttpResetModule.dll
- 22 September 2021
Today a friend’s server was hacked. The web site displays normally if visited directly. The content is highjacked when visit from a Baidu Search result, similar to what user 41nbow experienced at https://www.freebuf.com/articles/web/222060.html.
A file system wide search for recent changed files shows that %windir%\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config file was recently updated. New entries were added to the end of the <globalModules> section. Despite their location being C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 and C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727, they bear no Microsoft signature nor any other version information. Also, the file name HttpResetModule is suspicious, why a web server want do reset a connection?

Converting generic OopFactory.X12 structures to typed counterparts
- 30 April 2021
OopFactory.X12 can parse EDI messages into segments and loops. However despite typed segments and loops exist, the parser does not generate them in the object model. The unit test only use them when generating EDI messages.
The typed segments and loops are aggregative objects that do not contain their own data members besides the contained untyped objects. Which means if I replace the contained object with the generic one from the parser via .Net reflection, then I can access the object model in a typed way. So I created this in a static class
How To Determine When a Page Is Done Printing in WebBrowser Control
- 24 March 2021
Note this post is originally written in 2012. It was lost when moving my web site from Windows Live Spaces to WordPress. I found a dead link to my web site on Stackoverflow and found an archive from archive.org. So here it is the old article, with dead link updated of course.
The printing from a WebBrowser control can be customized by using custom headers and footers (https://www.betaarchive.com/wiki/index.php/Microsoft_KB_Archive/267240, archived from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/267240) or replacing the default print template. However, using such techniques conflicts with the PRINT_WAITFORCOMPLETION flag, which is used for synchronous printing.
Troubleshooting a memory leak
- 27 February 2021
Got called into a memory leak troubleshooting.
The application was leaking memory at 1mb per second. In memory profiler, most of the growing memory are used by byte[] and RuntimeMethodHandle (growing at around a million per minute). Initially I thought it is a disposing problem, but the memory occupied by disposable objects does not increase over time.

微软拼音卡顿的问题
- 05 January 2021
微软拼音最近每次激活的时候都要卡上个几分钟。而且不是一个程序只卡一次，中英文切换之后还会继续卡。
用了Process Monitor跟踪了一下，发现每次切换中英文的时候，微软拼音都会在%appdata%MicrosoftInputMethodChs下面创建一个名字为UDPXXXX（这里XXXX是16进制数字）.tmp的文件，我这个目录下有六万五千多个这样的文件。从命名风格来看，很明显是在调用GetTempFileName，而这个函数有65535个文件的限制，不删除文件的话，第65536次调用会失败，应该是微软拼音没有处理好调用这个函数失败的情况，也没有删除临时文件的代码，就卡住了。

Blinking wifi icon and black screen on Surface 2
- 21 August 2018
This is the second time I run into this problem after a Windows Update. First time was halfway through last year’s Microsoft MVP Summit and I had to Remote Desktop to my home machine with a spare android tablet and Bluetooth keyboard/mouse to get access to Windows apps.
Good that the summit wifi was amazing but a Surface 2 with touch cover was way easier to carry around than the combination of tablet/keyboard/mouse. I got around the problem by manually uninstalling KB3033055 with dism remove package in recovery console command prompt and hide the update afterwards. But recently I got the black screen with blinking wifi icon, again after installing a bunch of Windows Updates.

User redstone001 wants to know if it is possible to run 32 bit and 64 bit code in the same process – maybe in a different thread?
As Betteridge’s law of headlines say, any news ending with a question mark can be answered with the word no. But this isn’t news, so … the answer is … yeah? Kind of.
Farewell, dsoframer
- 11 March 2018
I know, it is long overdue. Microsoft discontinued it a decade ago. And Office is not meant to be embedded. I even advised people to not use it in new development almost a decade ago. Then why I keep using it for so long?
Because customers don’t want changes. I work in the medical field, where some of the clients still use telnet to interface with their medical software that are probably older than I am. Once you get people hooked to a UI it is hard to change that. The fact that Microsoft discontinues dsoframer means nothing to them – once I use it, I own it. It is like Microsoft having to release an Office update for the old equation editor made by MathType 16 years ago. So I have been doing patchwork as much as I can to keep dsoframer alive.

What part of Windows is written in .Net/WPF/Silverlight?
- 16 May 2016
user 曹一聪 on zhihu is curious how widely .Net is used within Windows components. Obviously an operating system component cannot depend on something that isn’t in the operating system, so nothing uses Silverlight in the desktop version of Windows. And because XP editions mostly did not ship with any .Net Framework version, practically nothing from the XP days can use .Net. Only components newer than XP or rewrote after XP can use .Net, except those Windows Media Center and Tablet PC components that have .Net dependencies.
The first time .Net is available in almost all editions is Windows Vista/2008 (the server core editions make .Net optional). ecause a Vista Capable sticker does not guarantee a machine with user-acceptable speed, not much in Windows Vista is using .Net. OR Windows 7 on that matter if you skip Windows Powershell. The usage of .Net is more in the consumer software (e.g. Windows Live Essentials), developer tools (e.g. Visual Studio) and business tools (e.g. SQL Server). In short, .Net is for writing apps, not really for the OS itself. After Windows 8, Microsoft’s focus moved to Windows RT, now UWP, not much effort is done to improve the desktop, so practically nothing in the desktop got rewritten in .Net Framework. Windows Help 2.0 is a notable exception however. Because more and more desktop components are moving to UWP (control panel, calculator, games etc), Windows 8 might be the peak of .Net Framework usage in Windows.
Flash Player: Loading from memory
- 26 November 2015
user cucao wants to know how to play a flash file from application resource. The user wants to use a dongle to protect unauthorized viewing of the flash file so can’t just put the swf file in plain sight.
Adobe’s Flash Player, being an ActiveX with supports for many OLE containers such as Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word, implements many standard OLE interfaces (for details open the ActiveX in oleview). One of them is IPersistStreamInit, a standard interface for ActiveX controls who want to distinguish new page load vs refresh, but can be used for the user to load the swf file from memory.
What’s new in Visual Studio Tools for Windows 10 Preview
- 24 March 2015
Looks like Windows 10 SDK gets renamed.
This post focuses on the Win32 wide of changes. Changes in the [STRIKEOUT:WinRT] Universal App Platform (UAP) side can be found at https://dev.windows.com/en-us/whats-new-windows-10-dev-preview. Some UAP APIs are available to all desktop apps, for exam DirectX 12 and notification center (should not come as surprise, older version of these APIs are already callable from Win32 apps ). Project Centennial also supports enabling UAP APIs to desktop apps, provided they meet certain requirements and deploy using the new appx model.
Book review: Mastering Windows 8 C++ App Development
- 08 August 2013
Disclaimer: I am a Microsoft MVP in Visual C++, so is Pavel Yosifovich, the author of the book.
Mastering Windows 8 C++ App Development by Pavel Yosifovich is a new addition to the Windows Store development books. It took me a while to read (304 pages) but is well worth the time from the perspective of a C++ developer. The book obviously went through great lengths to be comprehensive, not only introduced the typical Windows Runtime (WinRT) APIs in a crisp manner but also added a refreshment of C++ 11, the Model View ViewModel (MVVM) pattern, and the Windows Runtime C++ Template Library (WRL). In addition, being a book for C++ developers, the author’s emphasis on performance can be found in several tips and discussions, which is a nice focus for C++ developers. There are also several weaknesses in the book. Introducing WRL before C++/CX may be a poor choice as it is difficult to inspire the reader with laborious code. Also the book could use a few more details on DirectX and some WinRT APIs such as GeoPosition. Nevertheless, the book is an excellent text for the subject and I recommend the book to C++ programmers who want to start developing Windows Store apps and can do research outside of the book.
Another breaking change related to 64 bit compatibility, this time in TAPISRV w/Windows 8
- 30 July 2013
The ADO team had to make a breaking change the ADO APIs due to compatibility problem with Microsoft Office. Now it seems to be Tapi’s turn.
In the 64 bit editions of Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, some TAPI providers would stop getting incoming calls due to implementation changes in the TAPI service (TAPISRV) that had to be done for 64 bit compatibility.

When you get a System.BadImageFormatException. maybe you indeed have a bad system image.
- 08 February 2013
I am getting a StackOverflowException with two functions repeating on the call stack, one is the constructor of System.BadImageFormatException, another is System.Environment.GetResourceStringLocal.
Since the call that throws the stack overflow is to a web service proxy defined in the same project as the application, there isn’t a 32bit/64bit mismatch here (32bit machine with every project targeting x86), unlike almost all other discussions on the internet about this exception.
How to restart Windows Explorer programmatically using Restart manager
- 22 January 2013
You can download source code of this post at jiangsheng/Samples
For shell extension programmers, restart Windows Explorer is one of steps in their setup programs. A programmer may also want to force some shell setting changes that would only be read by Explorer on start up. For example, this posts is inspired by a programmer who want to toggle task bar layout automatically depending on the screen resolution, and is used to demonstrate the new Windows Vista restart manager API like RmStartSession, RmRegisterResources, RmGetList, RmShutdown, RmRestart and RmEndSession.
How to: Migrating a CLR console Visual C++ project to Windows Forms
- 17 December 2012
Note: Windows Forms programming in new development is discouraged by Microsoft at this point as Microsoft wants to make full use of hardware accelerated drawing instead of using the CPU-intensive GDI. But maintaining old Windows Forms code in Visual C++ 2012 is still supported, GDI isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Visual C++ 2012 removed the Windows Forms project template and I see people scramble to find ways to create a Windows Forms project. There is a walkaround that’s been around for years, that is, to convert a CLR console application to a Windows one, then add forms related code to the project.
Add the correct interface first in Adding an MFC Class from an ActiveX Control wizard.
- 04 December 2012
In good old times aka VC6, if you want to use an ActiveX in MFC, the Components and Controls Gallery would generate all the properties and methods of an ActiveX and pull dependent types and create wrapper classes for them as well. And it was good. It magically knows the main class of the Windows Media Player ActiveX is CWMPPlayer4 and that GetCurrentMedia method returns CWMPMedia.
Welcome to the modern Visual C++. Now comes a new wizard that gives you options to choose interfaces to import from. At the same time you got to decide if you really need that many types from an ActiveX. If you went the unfortunate path of Adding a Member Variable wizard in the dialog editor and somehow got a COCX1 class back, you don’t have the luxury to choose, and you end up with an CWnd wrapper class that does not really wrap up the properties and methods of the ActiveX. It is still good for early binding (like querying IWMPPlayer4 from the result of CWnd::GetControlUnknown) but if you plan to use late binding and MFC’s OLE support (hello COleException!), you probably want to delete the COCX1 files and start over with the Adding a Class from an ActiveX Control wizard.
Howto: reset IE security zone settings programmatically
- 26 November 2012

There’s another CoInternetCreateZoneManager function to get the zone manager object’s IInternetZoneManager interface.
What’s new in MFC/ATL 11 Beta
- 22 April 2012
Note this post is on Visual Studio 11 Beta, you can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/11/en-us/downloads Since Sinofsky posted about no desktop apps on Windows on ARM (WOA), it looks like MFC and ATL are going to support metro-style apps, although most ATL classes are not going to be compatible with metro style apps.
DAO support for ARM is missing, just like the lack of DAO support for 64 bit apps. Jet was deprecated a while ago, no surprise here.

Choosing formats when putting data on clipboard
- 21 March 2012
The topic is from a forum discussion at https://web.archive.org/web/20131020094354/http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsdesktop/en-US/94bb2db4-3ca2-4cd8-9f7c-6dd9aab6fd18/need-help-to-complete-gdi-program-to-loadsave-to-clipboard?forum=windowssdk
Generally an application should provide data in as many formats as possible so more applications can recognize the data. For example, IE stores text data in CF_UNICODETEXT, CF_TEXT and CF_HTML formats.
What’s new in Windows 8 Developer Preview SDK headers
- 17 September 2011
This is by no means a complete list but just some observation on files that caught my eye. Some are just regular header file updates for Windows 7 and does not necessary require Windows 8. Some other APIs moved to header files with more readable names.
Improvements are focused, of course, in natural input, efficiency, gaming experience and IE. You can hear the silence scream of “Tablet!Tablet!Tablet!” here. Note Windows 8 is still a developer preview and there is no guarantee any new feature will survive the final cut or there won’t be new API for existing features add in Beta/RC/Gold.

Windows Update KB2538242 or KB2538243 offered repeatedly
- 24 June 2011
Recently (this post was originally published in 2011) there is an outburst of posts related to the KB2538242 update being offered repeatedly on MSDN’s Visual C++ forums, TechNet’s various Windows security forums and the Windows Update forum on Microsoft Answers forums. Questions about KB2538243 appear as well, but to a less degree.
To save your time going to the forums or calling Microsoft’s free security hotline, this is my answer:

Breaking change in ADO update KB983246 (included in Windows 7 Service Pack 1)
- 24 February 2011
Update2: Microsoft fixed the issue in Windows 8 in a way that old programs would work without change. Those who recompiled with the KB983246 version either need to roll out KB983246 to customer computers or switch back to the old type libraries. New programs are encouraged to use the KB983246 version of type library when they no longer need to support computers without KB983246.

Application crash when forcing IE8 rendering mode in webbrowser host
- 17 November 2010
User stephench is reporting that when setting webbrowser rendering mode to IE8 via FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION, the app would crash. The web site crashes IE8 too, but IE8 is able to recover and automatically switch to IE7 mode, while a webbrowser host crash in WinInet when switching to the compatibility mode (Note the ReloadInCompatView function on the call stack). My guess is that reloading requires a WinInet helper process which a webbrowser host app does not have. The call stack is the following urlmon.dll!UUIDToWSTR() + 0x1f bytes urlmon.dll!GUIDToWSTR() + 0x1a bytes urlmon.dll!GUIDToWSTRCch() + 0x16 bytes urlmon.dll!CInPrivateBrowserModeFilter::_EnsureCLSID() + 0x20 bytes urlmon.dll!CSessionBrowserModeFilter::_GetDataStream() + 0x27 bytes urlmon.dll!CBrowserModeFilter::_EnsureBrowserModeFilter() + 0x1d84 bytes urlmon.dll!CBrowserModeFilter::IsIE7Mode() + 0x2e bytes mshtml.dll!CMarkup::ReloadInCompatView() + 0xd0 bytes mshtml.dll!CCssPageLayout::CalcSizeVirtual() + 0x120416 bytes mshtml.dll!CLayout::CalcSize() + 0x164 bytes mshtml.dll!CLayout::DoLayout() + 0x113 bytes mshtml.dll!CView::ExecuteLayoutTasks() - 0x1e376 bytes mshtml.dll!CView::EnsureView() + 0x567 bytes mshtml.dll!CView::EnsureViewCallback() + 0x66 bytes mshtml.dll!GlobalWndOnMethodCall() + 0xcc bytes mshtml.dll!GlobalWndProc() + 0xae bytes user32.dll!_InternalCallWinProc@20() + 0x28 bytes user32.dll!_UserCallWinProcCheckWow@32() + 0xb7 bytes user32.dll!_CallWindowProcAorW@24() + 0x51 bytes user32.dll!_CallWindowProcA@20() + 0x1b bytes mfc100.dll!_AfxActivationWndProc(HWND__ * hWnd=0x00150a28, unsigned int nMsg=32770, unsigned int wParam=0, long lParam=0) Line 471 + 0x11 bytes C++ user32.dll!_InternalCallWinProc@20() + 0x28 bytes user32.dll!_UserCallWinProcCheckWow@32() + 0xb7 bytes user32.dll!_DispatchMessageWorker@8() + 0xdc bytes user32.dll!_DispatchMessageA@4() + 0xf bytes > mfc100.dll!AfxInternalPumpMessage() Line 183 C++ mfc100.dll!CWinThread::Run() Line 629 + 0x7 bytes C++ mfc100.dll!AfxWinMain(HINSTANCE__ * hInstance=0x00400000, HINSTANCE__ * hPrevInstance=0x00000000, char * lpCmdLine=0x00152348, int nCmdShow=1) Line 47 + 0x7 bytes C++

How to force popup window to navigate in the same window in a webbrowser control
- 22 November 2009
When clicking on an link that targets a new window, the default behavior of a webbrowser control host application is to open a new window in Internet Explorer. User ben_lai wants to know how to handle the click and navigate to the same window.
There are three events that notifies a new window, NewWindow (The current documentation of this event is wong, check http://support.microsoft.com/kb/185538/EN-US/ for the parameters of the event), NewWindow2 and NewWindow3, each one has a cancel parameter to stop the new window being created, though for NewWindow2, it requires cooperation of BeforeNavigate2 to get the url of the new window. After getting the url, the navigation can be carried out in the original window by calling Navigate2. The obsolete NewWindow Event has the url right in the parameter so you can cancel the navigation and call the navigation methods of the webbrowser control with the new url.
Getting local FTP home directory from IIS programmatically
- 22 November 2009
User xiaoc1026 wants to know how to access IIS to get the home directory of the FTP web site in Visual C++.
Before IIS6 you need to access the metadata in IIS configuration via IMSAdminBase::GetData. The hard part to find the path of the IIS setting. Before IIS 6, the metadata isn’t saved in XML. However you can search the path of a property though the admin script. You can find the path property from the IIS metadata propertiy reference documentation.
Visual Studio 2010: Class Wizard重返Visual C++… Control Shift X.

在消失4个版本之后，类向导终于重返Visual C++。新的功能：搜索现在可以部分匹配而不是从字符串开始匹配。
测试版还是存在一些问题，向导不是总能找到现存的函数，以致删除函数功能不是总有效。在打开很多文档的时候尝试打开Class Wizard会出现“value does not fall in expected range” 错误。再就是性能问题，打开的文档越多，类向导启动所需的时间就越长。

It looks like rsd102 is loving research. He found more than he can understand initially. After being suggested twice with the vague IE SDK documentation he decided to post the sample code he was working on. And when the final answer was given he had problem adopting it.

How to disable navigation sound in webbrowser control
- 06 July 2009
User kill211 does not like the click sound when he calls WebBrowser.Navigate. He wonders if there is a way to disable it without modifying HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\Navigating, which has effect on other applications.
Unfortunately, the API for disabling sound is introduced in IE7. The FEATURE_DISABLE_NAVIGATION_SOUNDS feature can be toggled using registry or the CoInternetSetFeatureEnabled API.

415 Unsupported Media Type when WSE is NOT configured
- 14 February 2009
I have a web service that runs fine on my Windows XP. However, when I deploy to the production server, the web service returns 415 Unsupported Media Type when calling.
I have seen this error when WSE is not enabled on the client. The problem is, the web service is NOT using WSE. so I did the usual, uninstall ASP.Net, reinstalling, adding asmx extension to IIS, same error.
Now I need to fire a debugger to see what’s going on. Surprisingly, Microsoft.Web.Services3.dll is loaded even when there is no trace of it in my projects. Now I probably know what’s going on. There is another web service in a different virtual directory that uses WSE.
OK, I will isolate my web service to a new application pool. Well, that does not help. In the end I have to add WSE configuration to both my web service and my Windows client.

Visual C++ 10 和 MFC 10的新特性
- 11 October 2008
Boris Jabes 和Damien Watkins将会在PDC上演示Visual C++10中的新功能。IDE的新功能包括基于SQL Compact的智能提示、 支持自定义插件的新的项目和编译系统、面向大型应用的优化和改善的调试体验。MFC库增加了对Windows 7 中新增的多点触摸检测功能和高DPI支持，以及Windows Vista中集成的功能，例如高彩图标 、 Windows 搜索和重启管理器。Visual C++程序员们才习惯不用MFC来直接调API。
MFC是很老了，不容易学，也不优雅，但是很稳定，也有很多第三方扩展和示例支持。其他的用户界面库还有很多，但是单单用户界面并不能完成一个程序。在调用操作系统的底层功能的时候，有一个面向对象的接口还是很方便的。

Hard Drive Broke
- 17 March 2008
The first 3 Dell support technicians tried to persuade me to clean the temp files, to remove unnecessary startup programs and to reinstall Windows. It does not help if the computer complains an error during self test. I keep saying a self test error can not be solved by twisting the OS, but they won’t listen. After educating the representatives for a week I finally got one that has better experience (and better English) to examine my computer. A full system test shows bad sectors on the hard drive, and totally toasted the hard drive. Luckily I just bought the computer for 6 months so I asked for a replacement. Dell sent me one in 2 days and I sent back the broken one.
Now my back up hard drive started to fail … Time to call Seagate.

AutoComplete with DataSource
- 06 August 2007
Download Sample code: jiangsheng/Samples
.Net 2.0 introduced autocompletion in TextBox and ComboBox. It is obvious that autocomplete is not very useful when the number of options is small. However, when the number of option becomes too many, pre-filling of all options to an AutoCompleteStringCollection becomes impractical, especially when the data is coming from a remote computer. An alternative is to replace the AutoCompleteCustomSource in a TextChanged event, however, users are getting random AccessViolationException when trying to replace it. In this article I will demonstrate another alternative, using a BindingSource as the data source of options, bypassing the .Net Framework and call the underline Windows API directly.
Visual C++ 2008 Beta2 里面的Class Designer
- 30 July 2007
Visual Studio 2008 Beta2中的Class Designer终于支持C++了，上面是一个MFC程序的类图，可以看到已经支持扩展MFC的宏了，可惜只能看不能重构代码。尽管Class Designer这功能相当不错，但是设计师们可能还是更习惯IBM 的Rational Rose Developer for Visual Studio和UML。我用Class Designer的Ｃ＃支持的时候也就是加加注释而已，重构我更习惯用DevExpress提供的工具Refactor来做，类则用XSD.exe生成，因为Class Designer生成的属性只会扔NotImplementedException异常。

STL/CLR, Compiler and Marshaling
- 12 April 2007
MSDN第9频道又采访了Visual C++类库组的项目经理Nikola Dudar和Sarita Bafna，以及质量控制组的Marina Polishchuk。尽管Visual C++项目组已经转移了工作重点，但是很少人注意到这一点。或许这些采访可以帮助你了解Visual C++项目组的工作。 为什么C++仍旧重要？
非托管的应用程序有很大的代码积累，而这些程序的升级工作仍旧在进行
性能是选择C++的重要因素。举例来说，游戏和杀毒程序更适合用非托管代码来编写。
多平台支持。虽然.Net号称是跨平台的，但是如果要编写真正的跨平台程序，开发的时候遵循C++标准还是很有必要的。
为什么C++程序员仍旧重要？
C++程序员理解整个机器的运作，他们知道怎么写垃圾收集机制，甚至可以写机器代码
C++程序员可以很容易的学会其他语言——C++已经是最难学的语言之一了
C++程序员并不只使用一种语言。如果有必要的话，他们会选择汇编、C#或者Perl这样更适合特定任务的语言。
为什么Visual C++项目组转移了工作重点？
C++程序员对于转到C#没有抵触心理，所以Visual C++项目组不认为有必要尽快实现Visual C#支持的所有特性，比如LINQ和WPF设计器
C++程序员对于让他们的非托管程序调用其他语言的托管代码比用C++来写托管代码更有兴趣
核心模块，例如IE和Windows外壳会更加频繁地更新，而会有更多的非托管代码需要调用这些新的特性，为了这些特性，有必要在MFC中引入新的封装类来节省C++程序员的时间
Orcas中Visual C++的新特性：
托管代码互操作库。可扩展的托管数据类型和非托管数据类型的转换支持
STL/CLR。使得托管代码可以利用旧的STL编写的算法
Vista支持。对Vista中新的通用控件和文件对话框等界面元素的MFC封装。
DevExpess重构引擎——将包含DevExpess的Refactor!™ for C++。
Orcas之后的考虑
更新界面。有些Visual C++的代码是针对20年之前的硬件环境设计的，已经不适合现在的需要。新的Phoenix编译引擎使得重写前台变得更加容易。
太多现有的代码需要重构。新的Phoenix编译引擎使得代码分析变得更加容易。
C++标准。新的C++标准TR1可能会在Orcas下一版本开发时成为正式标准。
多核支持。需要编写可以充分利用多CPU的代码。第一个尝试是LINQ。
结论
MFC和非托管代码回来了
性能和多平台支持的重要性越来越低，托管代码仍旧具有很大的市场。
Visual C++项目组的其他动作
ATL Server发布到了源代码共享站点CodePlex。这包含CAtlRegExp，在.Net和第三方类库(boost,TR1)的竞争下已经不再有必要维护一个单独的条件表达式标准了

Memory Leak in the Internet Explorer WebBrowser Control
- 28 February 2007
For automated applications such as parsers, the WebBrowser control may not be appropriate. Under IE4 there were several memory leak problems manifested when the control was repeatedly instantiated and destroyed and also, on occasions, when the control was merely navigated from page to page. Almost all of these problems were fixed and incorporated in the IE5 release. However new memory leaks were introduced in the script engine, the URL navigation history, and the security system. There is no word at this time on when these problems will be fixed. Unfortunately, some leaks ( the travel log that enable you to go back, for example) have been declared to be “by design” by the development team. For those applications where this is not possible it may be necessary for the customer to use a WebBrowser control from a non-Microsoft vendor that is designed for the type of long term continuous real-time activity that your are developing for.
If you need a similar interface, try the Mozilla ActiveX Control (I know little about it, so I am not sure it leaks memory or not) at https://web.archive.org/web/20010920144243/http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/control.htm. Apparently, you need to have Mozilla installed to use this Activex control. A hosting sample can be found at https://web.archive.org/web/20030422065641/www.codeproject.com/useritems/iemozilla.asp .

Visual Studio 2005 Untrusted by IE7
- 11 November 2006
Today I upgraded one of my development machine to IE7. Everything looks fine, except I have to change the FileDownload event handler to make my code compile.
However, suddenly I found Visual Studio 2005 is complaining:
Conclusion:
Visual Studio is based on WebBrowser control (Is this news story?)
Upgrade to IE7 may break some applications (Again, is this a news story?)
Everything else works fine so far…
Error: Unable to cast COM object of type ‘mshtml.HTMLDocumentClass’ to interface type ‘ICustomDoc’
- 23 October 2006
This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID ‘{3050F3F0-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B}’ failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).
My first reaction was:”What the hell? HTMLDocumentClass is the managed wrapper of MSHTML, and MSHTML is supposed to support the ICustomDoc interface!” Now I started wondering why the interfaces don’t work I created a sandbox project and tried to cast interface there, but it works smoothly. I played with strong name and found no luck. Finally, I found out that it is the frame document that does not support this interface.

Baidu Baike, the Chinese repalcement of Wikipedia
- 13 May 2006
Wikipedia has been blocked in mainland China for more than six months. Unlike former blocks, this one seems to be permanent. Like the blocking of Google in 2002, it produced a vacuum that local businesses are eager to fill, especially Baidu.
Immediate after the blocking of Wikipedia, Wiki China launched with government support and claimed itself as the biggest Chinese wiki encyclopedia. The coincidence, together with the GFDL violation of Wiki China by copying content systematically without credit Wikipedia, provoked many Chinese Wikipedians to blankout the pages they created. Ten days after the birth of Wiki China, hackers forced its shutting down by deleting its database.
Six months later, Baidu, the Chinese search engine benefited from the 2002 blocking of Google, launched Baidu Baike (sometimes translated Baidupedia), a collaborative online encyclopedia. Again, it is praised by Chinese media for education references, but is accused of the GFDL violation. Under the lure of Baidu Credit, a large amount of online articles, including many Wikipedia articles and even nonsense articles from Uncyclopedia are copied into Baidu Baike without crediting their sources. Worse, Baidu claimed the copyright in one help page, and credited the posters in another.
Although the growth of entries is impressive (10,000 a day), due to its self censorship, politically reactionary topics such as the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, human rights, democracy and Falun Gong are missing. Confronting the Great Firewall of China, efforts to creating these entries or even search for them resulted denial of services, like searches in other web sites.

From In God We Trust to In Freedom We Spam
- 14 February 2006
In God We Trust is widely considered a religious phrase. Although the definition of God can be widened to other monotheistic religions, and an overwhelming majority of Americans are Christians, many still believe it violated the establish clause of the constitution, preferring monotheism over polytheism and atheism.
On a far less base, some groups are spamming Chinese in the name of human rights. Since 2000, some congressional funded groups such as VOA and Radio Free Asia and followers of Chinese dissent movements such as Falun Gong keep sending their daily China civil right news to my email boxes. No, don’t tell me I need to set up a filter. I have been using email since 1997 and all of my email service providers have anti-spam filters, and many of those are served inside the Great Firewall. I had even set up some filters myself to filter spams with sibling recipients on the same domain. Since I had never given them my email addresses, it is only natural to assume that they obtained them from web pages or guessed them out from using common Chinese names and domains.

Find and replace specific formatting in Word 2003
- 10 November 2005
In Microsoft Word 2003, you can replace text as in other programs. However, you can replace line breaks, graphics, and special formats as well. For example, to seperact and to add a serial number before every sentence, you can replace sentence-ending punctuations, such as periods and question marks, to the same punctuations plus a line break, click the numbering toolbar button, and make some minor manual changes for misreplacement.
Steps to numberize sentences:
Add a empty line to the end of the document by pressing Enter
Select the last line.
On the Edit menu, click Copy.
On the Edit menu, click Replace.
If you don’t see the Format button, click More.
In the Find what box, enter a period.
In the Replace With box, type a period.
In the Replace With box, type “^C”, or Click Special, and select Clipboard Contents
Click Replace All
Repeat step 6-9 for every other punctuation.
Repeat step 6-9 for each common misreplacement, such as Dr. or URL. Use ^C instead of a line break in finding and replacing.
click the numbering toolbar button on the Formating toolbar.
Make manually correction for other misreplacements.

FAQ:如何在……中获得……的指针(MFC)
- 10 November 2005
问：请问如何在一个全局函数中，获得视图类，文档类得指针啊? 问：如何在一个对话框中，获得视图类，文档类得指针啊?
答：虽然你可以使用AfxGetMainWnd或者AfxGetApp之类的函数来访问全局变量，但是不建议这么做。你应该尽量少使用全局函数和变量以增加代码的可移植性。你可以在对象中声明变量来保存和传递需要使用的对象和指针，调用函数或者创建对象时传递指针。
Visual C++ 2005 中的XML注释
- 05 November 2005
C#程序员可以用三个斜杠来开始XML格式的注释，而且编译器可以据此生成可用于自动生成帮助文档的XML文件。Visual C++ 2005中的编译器也支持了这个功能，而且对非托管函数也生效，前提是必须打开/clr和/DOC开关，并且不能使用/clr:oldSyntax开关编译。
有空的话，多去微软的反馈中心提提对产品的建议是很有好处的……
Talking about Where does power come from?
- 03 November 2005
Quote
The teacher said this confidently: Believe me, ten years later, you will still find those words insightful.Planning=PowerI do believe so.
People who are able to plan, and to implement the plans which facilitate innovation and change are invaluable.
According to Clementino Mendonca’s speech “The new MSF - competing with development process “, only 16% chaos (unplanned or almost unplanned) software projects were successful. Although I don’t remember the success rate of methodized software projects, I am sure it is much higher than the chaos model.
In China, as far as I know, most “workshop” style software companies use chaos models. It may be improved by using the new Visual Studio 2005 Team System, but I am not sure about it, since other software management products, such as Visual Source Safe, are not widely used in these companies.

How to use Visual C++ with Perl
- 03 November 2005
Microsoft Visual C++ and later do not support perl scripts by default. That is, the Developer Studio does not associate any special significance to perl scripts without being informed otherwise. However, there are several viable options, namely custom build rules, which enable the creation of projects that depend directly upon perl scripts. The remainder of this article discusses the following three methods for adding perl script files to a Visual C++ project:

创建和自动化Internet Explorer和资源管理器窗口

我在很久之前就开始用程序自动化Shell窗口——主要对象是IE窗口。有时浏览器控件或者MFC类CHTMLView可以满足我的需要，但是很多时候我需要从头嵌入浏览器控件并且尽可能模拟IE的行为，例如实现IDocHostUIHandler来启用自动完成功能。一个很自然的替代方案是直接操作IE窗口。
托管C++中函数调用的双重转换(Double Thunking)
- 07 October 2005
在VC.Net中使用默认设置/clr编译时，一个托管函数会产生两个入口点，一个是托管的，供托管代码调用，另外一个是非托管的，供非托管代码调用。但是函数地址，特别是虚函数指针只能有一个值，所以需要有一个默认的入口。
非托管入口点可能是所有调用的默认入口（在 Visual Studio .NET2003 中，编译器总是会选择非托管入口，但是在Visual Studio 2005中，如果参数或者返回值中包含托管类型，那么编译器会选择托管入口），而另外一个只是使用托管C++中的互操作功能对默认入口的调用。在一个托管函数被另一个托管函数调用的时候，这可能会造成不必要的托管/非托管上下文切换和参数/返回值的复制。如果函数不会被非托管代码使用指针调用，那么可以在声明函数时用VC2005新增的__clrcall修饰符阻止编译器生成两个入口。 现在用简单的冒泡排序算法来比较一下使用__clrcall之后的性能改善程度。
西雅图MVP峰会见闻
- 03 October 2005
个人觉得这次MVP峰会最大的进步就是技术相关的Session数量大大增加，按照MVP专长来分类；而不像上次那样按主题分类。我只需要在VC产品组的日程里面选择就可以了，而不是像上回那样不得不去听移动开发。当然这回也有MVP不去参加VC的Session，跑去听IE和移动开发。内容方面也比上次活泼很多，Don Box还是那么幽默，比尔·盖茨也有搞笑的演出，不过他看起来比去年七月份在北京的时候老多了。

C++/CLI中的默认属性访问
- 30 August 2005
目前版本的VC2005测试版中，default关键字不仅用于指定类级别的索引器，而且也用于访问默认属性。但是奇怪的是，默认属性的原名不能访问了，也就是说，如果要把下面的代码段从托管C++移植到VC2005附带的C++/CLI，不仅需要更改指针的类型，而且要把属性的名称更改为default：
如果继续使用原来名字来访问属性的话，会报告编译错误：

MFC，欢乐与痛苦
- 20 August 2005
MFC提供了许多十分有用的类和对象，在很多时候在Office插件、BHO、常规DLL这样的工程中加入MFC支持是一个不错的选择。但是，MFC中的很多功能，例如资源查找，消息预处理等等都依赖于在进程或者线程创建时被初始化的MFC内部数据；而对于需要添加MFC支持的工程，这些数据并不会被自动地初始化。
这时候使用一些MFC的功能，例如使用CString从字符串表加载一个字符串，或者使用CDialog::DoModal()创建一个模态对话框，都会有断言错误，用ATL向导创建的支持MFC的程序也没有多少改善，在CWinApp的DLL版本中没有初始化线程数据，所以调用AfxGetThread会返回空指针。解决这个问题的一个办法是使用AfxBeginThread来启动一个MFC线程，这样MFC会初始化线程相关的数据。
PIC 16F88 Microcontroller Servo Controller Project
- 25 July 2005
1) Introduction
The goal of this assignment is to control the position of a servomotor by generate pulses on the output pin for a time specified by various voltage of the input pin of the chip. The voltage should also be displayed by a 7-segment LEDconnected to some output pins of the chip.
2) Overview of the PIC 16F88 Microcontroller
PIC16F88 is a member of the huge Microcontroller Chip Family with 16 I/O pins and 2 power pins. It contains a lot of functions which are abundant to this project. The essential features used by this project are · Programmable Flash
· Data Memory
· Interrupt
· Internal clock and multiple time modules
· A/D Module
Information of other features, such as EPROM access or power management, can be found in the datasheet of this chip, which is available at www.microchip.com.
a) Programmable Flash
PIC16F88 has a 13 bit program counter, which can address 8K*14 addresses, or up to 1FFFh. However, it is paged so that accessing above 4K*14 will cause a wraparound. That is, the actual address is the address masked with 3FFh. The size of the code in this project is far from this limit, however. The starting address after power up, named Reset vector, located at 0000h. The interrupt vector, called by the chip when an interrupt occurs, located at 0004h. Stack memory is hardware implemented, and is indirectly manipulated by some instructions such as CALL and RETURN.
b) Data memory
Similar to IBM-PC, data memory is divided into several parts, called Banks in this chip, and a bank selection must be made before accessing an address outside current bank. Each bank has a 128 bytes extent, and some of them are mapped to the same position for convenience. The lower part of bank is reserved for Special Function Registers, and above them are General Purpose Registers, implemented as static RAM. To reduce bank selection, this project use 70h-7fh, the General Purpose Registers mapped to the same position in every bank. Some Special Function Registers are also accessed to perform tasks such as A/D I/O or timing. Accessing to these registers will be discussed later.
c) Interrupt
An interrupt is generated when predefined condition met, and the chip will make a call to the interrupt vector located at 0004h in the Programmable Flash. Some special flag bit in Some Special Function Registers are set before this call. This project use the A/D, Time0 and Time1 overflow interrupts for asynchronous operation. The general tasks of the interrupt handler are 1. First, disable all interrupt to prevent reentry
2. Save context information, such the value of W register, the Status register and program counter.
3. Check desired flag bits to see if the reveal the desired type of the interrupt occurs, and handle it with the flag bits cleared for future handling.
4. Restore context information to enable the program continues as usual after the interrupt occurs.
At last, enable interrupts to enable future interrupts
d) Internal clock and multiple time modules
The chip comes with 3 timer modules, and 2 are used by this project. TMR0 and TMR1 are prescalable timers with different ranges. The TMR0 register and TMR1H/TMR1L are readable and writeable counter register for these two timers, along with the Status register for synchronous operations. Interrupts are also generated when these counters overflow, and this project use them to invoke asynchronous operations and generate signals with varied time interval.
e) A/D Module
The chip comes with a 10-bit, 7-channel Analog to Digital module to convert input signals to 10 bit digital number. If the module is configured properly, after a flag bit in the ADCON0 register is set, an A/D conversation begins, and when it finishes, the result is placed into A/D result registers, namely ADRESH and ADRESL, and the flag bit is cleared. An peripheral interrupt is also generated to allow asynchronous operations
3) Description of the test circuit

4) Development of the control program
This program is divided into following modules:
Initialization module
Port A Configuration
Port B Configuration
Frequency Setting
Interrupt Setting
Interrupt handler modules
A/D Interrupt
TMR1 Interrupt
TMR0 Interrupt
With the reset and interrupt vector fixed, the program placed a jump instruction at the reset vector, and the destination of the jump is the actual beginning of the program. The program then calls the initialization module, and then enters an infinite loop and is ready for interrupts.
a) Initialization module
This module is spitted into 4 modules. These modules are independent, so they can be composed into one, but they are separated for easier debugging and understanding.
i) Port A Configuration
The task of this module is to set analog input and digital out pins. TRISA register is set to 1, indicates the pin RA0 is set to analog input, and the rest pings on PortA are set to digital output. The ANSEL register is also set to 1 to select RA0 for A/D conversation, and the ADCON0 is set to b’11000001’ in accordance. After the configurations are finished, the first A/D conversation is triggered after a short wait.
ii) Port B Configuration
Because PortB is used for 7-segment LED display, both TRISB and PORTB registers are cleared to display nothing at the beginning.
iii) Frequency Setting
The internal clock is set to 4MHZ, which is specified in the assignment guideline. This is implemented by setting the OSCCON register to b’01101110’.
iv) Interrupt Setting
This project uses 3 interrupts, A/D, TMR0 and TMR1. A/D is used for A/D conversations, TMR1 for a 33HZ signal generator, and TMR0 for pulses. INTCON and PIE1 are configured to enable these interrupts, and T1CON and OPTION_REG are used to scale TMR0 to 1:16, and TMR1 to 1:1. TMR1L and TMR1H are initialized so that the first TMR1 overflow interrupt will occur 1/33 second later, and the timers are started when the configurations are done.
b) Interrupt handler modules
After necessary tasks of the interrupt handler are done, the flags bits of interrupts will be checked. If a flag bit of an interrupt is set, a corresponding handle routine will be called. Routinely interrupt handler tasks will be performed at last.
i) TMR1 Interrupt
Both the initialization and the handler routine set TMR1H and TMR1L to 35233 to ensure the overflow interrupt will occur after 30303 cycles, or 1/33 seconds, thus generate a 33HZ clock. For convenience, a high pulse signal output for the Servomotor and an A/D conversation request is also placed here. In other words, the pulse is set to high every 1/33 seconds, and the A/D conversation is also triggered every 1/33 seconds. The TMR0 timer is also enabled to set the pulse to low after a period of time. This period is calculated after the voltage is read.
ii) A/D Interrupt
This interrupt handler does the heaviest job in the program. First, it copy the digitalized voltage into user defined variable named AnalogResultH and AnalogResultL, and AnalogResultL is abandoned since a continuum specified by AnalogResultH is enough. Then the duration of the high stage of the output pulse and the LAD output will be calculated. According to the document of the Servo, a high stage of 0.36ms will cause the Servo turn to left, and 2.3 ms will cause it to turn right. Suppose the A/D result 0 means left, and 255 means right, then the duration of the high stage can be calculated by the following formula: Duration = 0.36+AnalogResultH/256 * 1.94 ms = 360+AnalogResultH*1,940/256 cycles to store the duration in TMR0, we need to prescale it to fit. The upper bound of it is 2.3 ms, or 2,300 cycles. To make the maximum duration fit into a byte, the timer need to be prescaled to 1:16. Duration =360/16+(AnalogResultH/256) *(1,940/16) ticks =22.5+ AnalogResultH/256* 121.25 ticks Of course I can not do it with such precision with the little instruction set of the chip. Round downs are inevitable Duration ≈22 + AnalogResultH/256*121 ≈22 + -AnalogResultH/64 -AnalogResultH/128 -AnalogResultH/256 So, to make the TMR0 overflows Duration ticks after the TMR1 interrupt rise the pulse signal, the TMR0 register must be set to TMR0 =256- Duration. This result is stored in a variable named Time0Interval, and is used by the TMR1 interrupt handler routine. This routine also scales the analog result to one digit value and displays it on a 7-segment LED. It is done by getting the high 4 bits of the high byte of the analog result.
iii) TMR0 Interrupt
This interrupt handler routine merely turn the TMR0 interrupt off, and output a low signal to end a pulse. ** **
5) Overview of testing done before burning the chip
The test is done in the emulator. After loading the program into emulator, and execute it, it reads the value set on RA0, and output a pulse every 1/33HZ.

使用WinDbg调试VC程序
- 08 June 2005
虽然在VC6.0中可以通过安装Visual C++ Toolkit(https://archive.org/details/microsoft-visual-c-toolkit-2003)来编写基于最新版本的平台SDK、DirectX SDK的程序以及托管代码，但是VC6附带的调试器并不支持新版本的调试信息，所以实际上是不能用VC6来调试新版本编译器生成的程序的。
一个替代的解决方案是使用新版本的Windows调试工具Windbg(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/)。Windbg的调试功能基本和Visual C++中的相同，但是需要手动设定源文件和调试符号文件的搜索路径（可以参考VC6.0中的对应设置）。

Read Twice to reveal the clues(Orson Scott Card,SPEAKER FOR THE DEAD)
- 21 May 2005
Thanks to Austin Public Library, I have a chance to continue my navigating with Ender the Great Commander, the Xenocide, and the Speaker for the Dead. I’v noticed a significant difference between the style of Ender’s Game and Speaker for the Dead, and I like this change. It make ender a less hero, but a greater philosopher. His unconscious victory now considered crime, and he became his own accuser for 3,000 years. However, he still execl in this work. He removed the barrier between human and peggies, and made the treatment between the 3 species.
I did not notice the importance of the irrelevant quotation at the beginning of each chapter, but I found they are noteworthy for better understanding. They are kind of background information, and some sources appeared in the body part later.
“We question all our beliefs, except for the ones we really believe, and those we never think to question. “

Blog, past and present
- 28 April 2005
At December 5, 2002, on Sen. Strom Thurmond’s 100th birthday celebration, Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) stunned his audience with his words “I want to say this about my state. When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn’t have had all these problems over the all these years either.”, and probably stunned the mainstream media, made them unable to report this comment widely. But two bloggers,“Atrios” and Joshua Marshall noticed it and wrote it down on their blog. Soon blogs about this comment were so widely spread that on December 10, the mainstream media restored their attention, and on December 20, Lott resigned as Majority Leader.
What is Blog? Why is it so influential?

一直以来我都持续收到一些加入在线手机社区http://www.sms.ac的邀请，因为我没有手机（要找我的人注意：我醒着的话一般都挂在MSN上），所以总是看过就算。但是今天收到了来自一个不是很熟的朋友的加入这个社区和另外一个社区http://www.bebo.com的邀请，所以上网搜索了一下一些个人BLOG对这两个网站的引用。搜索的结果触目惊心。
Blog
- 25 April 2005
Blog, or weblog, refers to certain kind of online journal that, it is time-stamped articles posted on websites, usually in reverse chronological order. In addition, it usually enables visitors to leave comments on the same web page of article, trace related blogs between different websites, and get notification if the blog is updated. It can also refer to the action of writing blogs.
In a famous blog by Rebecca Blood, she observed that Jorn Barger named his website, which with daily articles consisted of interesting links to websites and comments of these websites; as Weblog, and it is Peter Merholz who once broke Weblog into the phrase “we blog”. (Blood, R., September 7, 2000), which was shortened to “blog” during spreading. The number of bloggers boosted after web based blog tools, such as one provided by Blogger.com since 1999, enabled writing blog or comments online, and publishing it with a few mouse clicks. But blog had not much attention at that time.

程序员之懒
- 19 April 2005
程序员在我看来是比较会偷懒的一个群体。为了在开发软件的时候减少人工操作，他们会使用各种各样的软件和语言特性，例如IDE和预处理宏。李建忠在他的BLOG(http://blog.joycode.com/lijianzhong/archive/2005/05/08/50440.aspx)中提到，为了简化声明属性的工作，他的同事自己写了一些小工具来生成需要的代码。在C++托管扩展中，这个工作稍微简单一些，用预处理宏就可以了。
当然，如果使用C++/CLI的话，这个工作更加简单：

Spread of Blog

Spread of Blog
Blog, or weblog, refers to certain kind of online journal that, it is time-stamped articles posted on websites, usually in reverse chronological order. In addition, it usually enables visitors to leave comments on the same web page of article, trace related blogs between different websites, and get notification if the blog is updated. It can also refer to the action of writing blogs.
In a famous blog by R Blood, she observed that Jorn Barger named his website, which with daily articles consisted of interesting links to websites and comments of these websites; as Weblog, and it is Peter Merholz who once broke Weblog into the phrase “we blog”.( Blood, R., September 7, 2000), which was shortened to “blog” during spreading. The number of bloggers boosted after web based blog tools, such as one provided by Blogger.com since 1999, enabled writing blog or comments online, and publishing it with a few mouse clicks. But blog had not much attention at that time.
The influence of blogs was boosted by political events. After the beginning of War on Terrorism, while interactive blogs focused on the war, namely warblogs, spread and gain readership because their immediacy and interactivity, and anonymity of comments, while the reaction of mainstream media were slowed by censorship. By the spring of 2003, Forbes Magazine used “war blogger” in this larger sense when listing the “best warblogs.” In the U.S. presidential election of 2004, Blogs by celebrity, such as journalists, politicians and president candidates, gained public attention. Recently, Microsoft said that the free blogging service, called MSN Spaces, had attracted 4.5 million users during its preliminary test phase, which began last December and end a few days ago. The use of the word “blog” was so common that, “blog” was included in the Oxford English Dictionary soon (Quarterly updates to OED Online, March 13, 2003).
Many mainstream medias noticed this tendency.
Google bought blogger.com
I started my first blog at September, 2003. I had been looking for a web application for simplify updating my personal homepage for a long time. The recent update page in my website consisted of paragraphs in reverse chronological order, with a timestamp to mark the date of update, so that the visitors will notice the new updates easily. Despite of its usability, to perform an update of my homepage, I had to find the proper insert-point in the page, add new paragraphs, and then use some FTP (file transfer protocol) software applications to upload the whole modified page to the web server. Soon I found guest books, where visitors can leave messages and internet forums, where registered users can start a discussion or join a discussion, are very useful but both of them are not eligible for a recent update part of my website because they are open for visitors,.
they are hard to attract a wild range of visitors. The visitors can not discuss with the author about an online article without using other applications, such as email, and this limited the influence of websites. Soon online guest books appeared, enabled visitors to post comments of all articles in a single page. Soon internet forums were designed for discussion, enabled users to post comments of an individual article and then visitors can read the article and its comments in the same page. However, unlike internet forums and online guest books, blog articles have static address for individual entries, which enables search engines to list them in search results, and the large amount of trans-website links were considered as citation by the page rank systems, which used by search engines to sort results, made them appears in the front of the search result lists, thus increased the influence of blogs. Many blog tools also automatically add TrackBacks, or links between an article and the articles its references to simplify the difficulty when the visitors tracking between related articles. These features of blogs made trans-website discussion much easier, and these conveniences speed up the spreading of blog.
In addition, several tools and services are developed for the proliferated demand and boosted new demands. Trackbacks make the related blogs linked together, and comments made it possible for authors to discuss their articles on the same page of the article. Blog hosting sites launched one another, and a lot of personal homepage providers became blog providers. News aggregators appeared to simplify posting and reading blogs. The page rank system used by search engines, promoted the most cited blogs by revealing their trackbacks International blog service providers made it possible to write blogs on localized websites. Such conveniences made blogging easier and more and more people became bloggers.
Since the number of blogger increased so fast; it has formed many communities.
Influence
As a result of explosion of number of bloggers, several communities were created on certain topics and direct the discussion in existing communities such as warblogs, Blawgs, tech blogs and team blogs, sometimes called blogosphere. Opinions, ideas and discussions around a particular subject or controversy can easily spread in blogospheres through trackbacks and dominate the topic of a blogosphere in a period of time. In order to keep the high discussion quality of the blogospheres, some bloggers dispatch their posts into different blogospheres. For example, I have 5 blogs, one to trace the new technologies, one to discuss common technologies, 2 for archive, and 1 for other posts.
Some blogospheres have great influence. They have quicker responses to breaking news than major media (Conference Examines Blogs’ Impact on News. Nov 14, 2004), and some news stories were knock down by bloggers (Macht J., Sept 27, 2004). They were also responsible for pushing the story of Trent Lott, then the Republican leader of the Senate into the news, after the mainstream media missed it, and caused his resign. MSDN blog, a group of blogs of Microsoft employees and product teams, became the information and feedback center of Microsoft related technologies.
Businessman will never ignore such a large group. For one, Google’s AdSense, which deliver content-relative ads to pages, became ubiquitous on blogs, and some bloggers can earn a lot of money by talking about certain products.(Gard,L. Dec 13, 2004). For another, many people tried a lot to post unwanted blog spam to promote the spammer’s website, and made major search engines changed their page ranking system.
Conclusion
. Despite of some tiny problems, more and more people will start blogging, entering blogosphere, and try to promote themselves. Blog will become as popular as email, or even more. Popular.

SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. The world’s largest software maker, launched on Wednesday its MSN service allowing Web users to publish and track each other’s blogs, or online journals.
Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft said that the free blogging service, called MSN Spaces, had attracted 4.5 million users during its preliminary test phase, which began last December.
Microsoft’s MSN Internet division also launched the latest version of its MSN Messenger for swapping instant messages and sharing photos.
Blogs, short for “Web logs,” have become a popular way for Web users to publish their opinions, observations and information on the Internet to a wide audience.
“We expect this to have wide appeal outside the United States,” said Blake Irving, vice president of communication services at Microsoft’sMSN Internet division, adding that MSN Spaces would be available in 15 languages in 30 markets.
Yahoo Inc., MSN’S rival, also launched a new Web log and social networking service called “Yahoo 360.” Google Inc., Microsoft’s newest rival in online search and Web-based services, also has a popular blogging service called Blogger that the Web search company bought in 2002.
According to Reuters, Microsoft is expanding its online services to fit new demands, such as blogging and winks in MSN Messenger. This step is likely to invoke a new round of service competitions among major online service providers, such as Yahoo and Google.
Summary:
Microsoft is updating its service to fit new demands, such as blogging, and attracted a lot of users in a short time. This step may boost competitions between Microsoft and its rivals.
Response:
In modern internet age, a successful new service will be followed with a competition in no time. After Google announced its GMail plan a year ago, which provide record high 1GB free email accounts, almost every free major email service provider increased their user storage limit, such as Hotmail (from 2M to 250M) and Yahoo (from 6M to 1G) After Google acquired Blogger.com, Microsoft began the beta test of MSN spaces, which include major function of old MSN groups and introduced the blog function. It is still too early to say who will win this the competition, but the immediately result of it is the improvement of user satisfaction, which is the most effective way to maintain user’s loyalty and attract potential users.
Question:
What is you email service provider? Why did you select it?
Why do you check many email boxes, if you have more than one email service provider?
How will you react if the service provider sends advertisement email to your email box, or adds advertisement to your homepage?
How will you react if you are told that you email service is not longer free?
How you think about personal online publishing, such as blogging?
Do you think internet censorship may affect personal online publishing?
Blogging
- 11 April 2005
Given the graphs from “Population, Poverty and the Local Environment”, I conclude that the decreasing percentage of American women’s share of paid employment is a contribution of increasing unpaid working in home, when the number of children increases. For one, in the second graph, the unpaid house work-load increases gradually until the number of children exceed 7, which showed expressed a sharp increase for 7 or more children. Generally speaking, an American woman who has more children would have more house work. For another, according to the third graph, the percentage of American women’s share of paid employment steadily decreases when the number of children increases. That is to say, the percentage of American women’s share of paid employment steadily decreases when unpaid house working gradually increases. According to graph “Federal Expenditures, 1983 TOTAL: 624.2 Billion”, I found that the money spent on national defense and international relations is too much, and more money should be invested in welfare. While the other major countries, such as China and Russia, spend less on national defense either in amount or in percentage, and more on welfare, maintain such high military expenditure is not efficient, and this outcome has less little benefit to the economy than welfare programs. According to Reuters, Microsoft is expanding its online services to fit new demands, such as blogging and winks in MSN Messenger. This step is likely to invoke a new round of service competitions among major online service providers, such as Yahoo and Google.. In modern internet age, a successful new service will be followed competition in no time. After Google announced its GMail plan a year ago, which provide record high 1GB free email accounts, almost every free email service provider increased their user storage limit, such as Hotmail (from 2M to 250M), Yahoo (from 6M to 1G), Sina (from 50M to 1G) and Netease (from 50M to 2G). After google acquired Blogger.com, Microsoft began the beta test of MSN spaces, which include major function of old MSN groups and introduced the blog function.
It is still too early to say who will win this the competition. But the immediately result is the improvement of user satisfaction. That is the most effective way to maintain user’s loyalty and attract potential users.
Xu Beihong
- 08 April 2005
influential Chinese artist and art educator who, in the first half of the 20th century, argued for the reformation of Chinese art through the incorporation of lessons from the West.
Xu was first taught art in his childhood by his father, Xu Dazhang, a locally known portrait painter. In the period from 1919 to 1927, he studied in France and graduated from Paris Higher Art School He returned to China in 1927 and successively worked as a teacher in Shanghai South China College of Fine Arts He went to Beijing in 1946 and worked as the President of Public Beijing Arts and History School and the Chairman of Beijing Art Workers Association. In 1949, he was elected as the Chairman of National Painters Association by the representative conference of all-China literary and art workers.
This painting exemplifies Xu Beihong’s fusion of East and West. While employing the conventional Chinese medium of brush and ink, Xu’s drawing technique is purely Western. Rather than defining the horse with calligraphically energized outlines, Xu sketches the horse impressionistically with light and dark washes and uninked areas of white paper integrated to suggest the modeling effects of light and shadow. Reflecting studies from life, the horse’s complex pose—foreshortened body, twisting neck, and naturalistically placed legs—is deftly rendered in a few well-practiced brushstrokes, while the layered tones of the animal’s tail give the impression of movement.
Recalling a long tradition of the horse as an emblem of state, Xu Beihong’s spirited animals appeal to national pride. He painted so many of them that they have become synonymous with his name. This early example, still fresh in his mind and in execution, was done for Qi Baishi’s son on the occasion of a visit by Xu to Qi’s house. Qi explains in his inscription that Xu failed to bring his seals, which is why the painting lacks an impression.

early working vs studying
- 04 April 2005
early exhausted life. I agree her point of view, because I think studying has a higher priority than working in early life, since studying is more easier when the students are young, and the salary will be higher if they succeed in their education.
Notes
- 01 April 2005
Should GM(Genetic Modified) food production be controlled by Government?
Q(Drug) Why fostering drug plants is baned and fertilizing GM food is not?
A:Drugs can benefit only some patients and will not benefit others’s health. Some more effective replacements can also be composed in chemical labs.
GM food can prevent starvation and its side effect is not known clearly. No more effective replacement found.
Q(Clone) Why another genetic technology, Cloning, is baned and producing GM food is not?
A: Cloning human is baned mainly for moral concern, and this concern does not occur for GM food.
??Anyway, global warming appears to be a bigger threaten to global ecosystem, since its effects are already discovered.
?? Why not use the fund to support GM research to ensure its security?
Trade war over genetically modified food
- 30 March 2005
Trade war over genetically modified food From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The European Union and the United States have strong disagreements over the EU’s regulation of genetically modified food. The US claims these regulations violate free trade agreements, the EU counter-position is that free trade is not truly free without informed consent.
In Europe, a series of unrelated food crises during the 1990s have created consumer apprehension about food safety in general, eroded public trust in government oversight of the food industry, and left some consumers unwilling to consider “science” to be a guarantee of quality.
This has further fueled widespread ([1] (http://terresacree.org/sondage.htm)) public concern about genetically modified organisms (GMO), in terms of potential environmental protection (in particular biodiversity), health and safety of consumers. Critics of GM foods contend that there is strong evidence that the cultivation of a genetically modified plant may lead to environmental changes. However, whether a genetically modified plant can itself harm the environment is a matter of controversy among scientists.
Although some claim genetically modified foods may even be safer than conventional products, many European consumers are nevertheless demanding the right to make an informed choice. Some polls indicate that Americans would also like labelling but it has not yet become a major issue. New EU regulations should require strict labelling and traceability of all food and animal feed containing more than 0.5 percent GM ingredients. Directives, such as directive 2001/18/EC, were designed to require authorisation for the placing on the market of GMO, in accordance with the precautionary principle. (see also Tax, tariff and trade).
Despite the fact that no scientific study has yet shown genetically modified food to be harmful to humans, a 2003 survey by the Pew Research Center found that a majority of people in all countries surveyed felt that GM foods were “bad”. The lowest scores were in the US and Canada, where 55% and 63% (respectively) were against, while the highest were in Germany and France with 81% and 89% disapproving. The survey also showed a strong tendency for women to be more opposed to GM foods than men. [2] (http://people-press.org/commentary/display.php3?AnalysisID=66)
In 2002, Oregon Ballot measure 27 gave voters in that state one of the first opportunities in the United States to directly address the question. The measure, which would have required labeling of genetically engineered foods, failed to pass by a ratio of 7 to 3.
Friedrich-Wilhelm Graefe zu Baringdorf, member of the German Green Party and vice president of the Landwirtschaftsausschuss (committee of agriculture) of the European Commission said on the 1 July 2003: “In America 55% of the consumers are against GM food and 90% in favor of a clear labelling. The Bush government is ignoring the demand of his own people.”

[edit]
European ban on genetically modified crops In 1999, a 4 year ban was pronounced on new genetically modified crops. At the end of 2002, European Union environment ministers agreed new controls on GMOs that could eventually lead the then 15-members bloc to reopen its markets to GM foods. European Union ministers agreed to new labelling controls for genetically modified goods which will have to carry a special harmless DNA sequence (a DNA code bar) identifying the origin of the crops, making it easier for regulators to spot contaminated crops, feed, or food, and enabling products to be withdrawn from the food chain should problems arise. A series of additional sequences of DNA with encrypted information about the company or what was done to the product could also be added to provide more data. (see Mandatory labelling).
[edit]
Agricultural trade market between USA and Europe The European Union and United States are in strong disagreement over the EU’s ban on most genetically modified foods.
The value of agricultural trade between the US and the European is estimated at $57 billion at the beginning of the 21st Century, and some in the U.S., especially farmers and food manufacturers, are concerned that the new proposal by the European Union could be a barrier to much of that trade.
In 1998, the United States exported $63 million worth of corn to the EU, but the exports decreased down to $12.5 million in 2002.
The drop-off might also be due to falling commodities prices, less demand due to the recession, U.S. corn being priced out of foreign markets by a strong dollar, and importing countries reaction to the planned invasion in Iraq. But farm industry advocates blame the EU’s ban.
[edit]
European proposal over genetically modified food The European Parliament’s Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety[3] (http://www.europarl.eu.int/comparl/envi/default_en.htm) proposal, adopted in the summer of 2002 and expected to be implemented in 2003 has deep cultural roots, which are difficult to understand for the US agricultural community. It requires that all food/feed containing or derived from genetically modified organisms be labelled and any GM ingredients in food be traced. It would also require documentation tracing biotechnological products through each step of the grain handling and food production processes.
The new European tax, tariff and trade proposal would particularly affect US maize gluten and soybean exports, as a high percentage of these crops are genetically modified in the USA (about 25 percent of US maize and 65 percent of soybeans are genetically modified in 2002).
The ultimate resolution of this case is widely thought to rest on labelling rather than food aid. Many European consumers are asking for food regulation (demanding labels that identify which food has been genetically modified), while the American agricultural industry is arguing for free trade (and is strongly opposed to labelling, saying it gives the food a negative connotation).
Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen’s Global Watch indicates that American agricultural industry is “using trade agreements to determine domestic health, safety and environmental rules” because they fear that “by starting to distinguish which food is genetically modified, then they will have to distinguish energy standards, toxic standards that are different than those the European promotes”.
The American Agricultural Department officials answer that since the United States do not require labelling, Europe should not require labelling either. They claim mandatory labelling could imply there is something wrong with genetically modified food, which would be also a trade barrier. Current U.S. laws do not require GM crops to be labelled or traced because U.S. regulators do not believe that GM crops pose any unique risks over conventional food. Europe answers that the labelling and traceability requirements are not only limited to GM food, but will apply to any agricultural goods.
The American agricultural industry also complain about the costs implied by the labelling.
[edit]
Official US complaint with the WTO The ban over agricultural biotechnology commodities is said by some Americans to breach World Trade Organisation rules. Robert B. Zoellick, the United States trade representative, indicated the European position toward GMO was thought of as “immoral” since it could lead to starvation in the developing world, as seen in some famine-threatened African countries (eg, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique) refusing to accept US aid because it contains GM food.
Zoellick’s critics argue that US concern over Third World starvation is merely a cover for other issues. Some money for development aid is used by the American government via the World Food Program (WFP) to help their farmers by buying up overproduction and giving it to the UN organisation. GM-scepticism interferes with this program. American farmers lost marketshare in certain countries after changing to genetically modified food because of sceptical consumers.
Another European response to the claims of immorality is that the EU gives 7 times more in development aid than the US.
In May 2003, after initial delay due to the war against Iraq, the Bush administration officially accused the European Union of violating international trade agreements, in blocking imports of U.S. farm products through its long-standing ban on genetically modified food. Robert Zoellick announced the filing of a formal complaint with the WTO challenging the moratorium after months of negotiations trying to get it lifted voluntarily. The complaint was also filed by Argentina, Canada, Egypt, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, Peru and Uruguay. The formal WTO case challenging the EU’s regulatory system was in particular lobbied by U.S. biotechnology giants like Monsanto and Aventis and big agricultural groups such as the National Corn Growers Association.
EU officials questioned the action, saying it will further damage trade relations already strained by the U.S. decision to launch a war against Iraq despite opposition from members of the U.N. Security Council. The US move was also interpretated as a sanction against EU for requesting the end of illegal tax breaks for exporters or face up to $4 billion in trade sanctions in retaliation for Washington’s failure to change the tax law, which the WTO ruled illegal four years ago.
[edit]
Ratification of the Biosafety Protocol by the EU parliament In June 2003, the European Parliament ratified a three-year-old U.N. biosafety protocol regulating international trade in genetically modified food, expected to come into force in fall 2003 since the necessary number of ratification was reached in May 2003. The protocol lets countries ban imports of a genetically modified product if they feel there is not enough scientific evidence the product is safe and requires exporters to label shipments containing genetically altered commodities such as corn or cotton. It makes clear that products from new technologies must be based on the precautionary principle and allow developing nations to balance public health against economic benefits.
Jonas Sjoestedt, a Swedish Left member of the EU assembly, said that “this legislation should help the EU to counter recent accusations by the U.S administration that the EU is to blame for the African rejection of GM food aid last year”.
The United States did not sign the protocol, saying it was opposed to labeling and fought import bans.
[edit]
Lifting of the ban On July 2, 2003, the European parliament approved two laws that will allow the EU to lift its controversial ban on GM food. The first law will require labelling for GMO-containing food above 0.9%. It will be applied for human food and animal feed as well. However, animals fed with transgenic cereals will not be included in the labelling. The second law will make mandatory labeling of any food contaminated by non-authorized GMO (in the Union) over 0.5%. This amount will be set for 3 years. After 3 years, all non-authorized GMO contaminated food will be banned. Traceability of GMO products will be mandatory, from sowing to final product. At that time, it was expected the ban would be lifted in the fall of 2003.
However, on the 8 December 2003, the European Commission rejected approval of a controversial genetically modified sweet corn.
Six countries were in favour (33 votes - Spain, UK, Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Ireland) three abstained (25 votes - Germany, Belgium, Italy), while six countries voted against (29 votes - Denmark, Greece, Luxembourg, Austria, Portugal, France).
That new GM sweet corn, BT-11, produced by Syngenta was modified to produce its own insecticide and is also resistant to a herbicide. It was rejected for the following reasons :
The new labelling and traceability regulations are still not in place The proposal did not include post-approval monitoring of health effects. Some safety questions have not been fully addressed.
Geert Ritsema of Friends of the Earth Europe said: “There is clearly no scientific consensus over the safety of this modified sweet corn. The decision not to approve it is a victory for public safety and common sense. The European Commission now has the opportunity to re-think its position. The public doesn’t want to eat GM foods and question marks remain over its safety. The Commission must put the well-being of European citizens and their environment before the business interests of the US Government and the biotech industry.”
The approval of that gmo corn would have been de facto considered as a lift of the moratorium on new GMO foods. Decision to lift the moratorium might occur in spring 2004.
[edit]
Effect of cultural differences between US and Europe The U.S. population has, historically, placed a considerable degree of trust in the regulatory oversight provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its agencies. There is little tradition of people having a close relationship with their food, with the overwhelming majority of people having bought their food in supermarkets for years. But the 2003 survey by the Pew Research Centrer showed that even in the U.S. 55% see GM food as “bad” food.
In Europe, and particularly in the U.K., there is less trust of regulatory oversight of the food chain. In many parts of Europe, a larger measure of food is produced by small, local growers using traditional (non-intensive & organic) methods (see local food).

Talk:Trade war over genetically modified food
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Is Canada not involved in this mess? Rmhermen 22:36 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)
hum ? Which mess ? Rmhermen, since you are involved here…I wrote most of this article. Please, feel free to copy edit it strongly if you think it is necessary for fluidity of expression ; Thanks User:anthere I wonder if the article as written doesn’t underplay the importance of agricultural protectionism. One of the advantages of forcing GM food labeling, I would think, is that it would give an advantage to small “organic” farmers. This seems quite convenient, given that the EU countries consider preserving the “quaintness” of their countrysides a cultural priority, while the death of the family farm seems to be more generally accepted in North America. Europe certainly wouldn’t be alone in feigning concern over the supposed safety of foreign food in order to protect their own industries (look at what Japan is doing right now re: mad cow disease). – stewacide 23:21 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Sorry, but you hit with your “feigning” all the people that are worried. I am worried. So you directly hit me. You are right, agricultural protectionism is involved. But please take care when you just insult hundred of millions of people. (I could also use words on the same level of yours: In Europe we have still the culture to disagree on certain points and not to follow our leaders blindly… do you feel better now? ;-) Fantasy 05:39 1 Jul 2003 (UTC) the usage of “feigning” is totally out of line :-) We don’t feign. I would like to state that I wrote most of the initial article, and as such, it is only my perspective, and not enough to cover the topic by far. I tried to be far on both sides, but I am biased :-) In particular, it would be nice to have more on other countries positions on the matter. This is a planetary war, not to be reduced to US EU only. Yes, it would deserve much more on protectionism. Because this also very important. However, do not give too much importance in the topic to the advantage meant for the organic farmers. At least in my country (which is the first producer in the EU, so is of major importance in this trade war, since being the primary benefactor of protectionism), protectionism is meant to protect traditional agriculture, MUCH more than organic farming. We are first using traditional intensive technics, and the goal in requiring labels is to protect consumers, not organic farmers or organic consumers. Labels are envision for all food. There might be a different trend in other european countries, though I think generally not. ant What I meant was that the governments in European countries may be overplaying the risks of GM foods as a cover for protectionism. I have no doubt that many citizens are personally fearful.
well, if you can find relevant references of people supporting this view, that is just fine. Anthere Also, I agree that this shouldn’t be characterized as just a US vs. EU thing. In fact, the US and EU are traditional allies on issues of agricultural trade in that they’re both strong protectionists. The alliance between the US and the pro-free-trade “Cairns Group” countries (Canada, Australia, and the developing world) is quite unusual. There are probably other countries (Japan?) that side with the EU for one reason or another.
Also, I wonder about strains within EU, such as between food exporters like France and food importers (Italy? Spain?).
Well, you can wonder of course :-) But this has nothing to do with this current discussion :-) It should belong to another article. Since there is a moratorium in Europe, exporting countries such as France do not export gmo toward food importers. Anthere p.s. If that “follow our leaders blindly” thing was a jab at the US, no dice, I’m Canadian (Happy Canada Day to ya’ :)
Also, Europeans accusing North Americans of having a mob mentality is pretty ironic IMHO. When was the last time we had a war or genocide in North America? Europeans and your silly ethnic nationalism; when will you learn!?! ;) – stewacide 07:00 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Stewacide, you did not get the point. I just tried to explain you (probably with the wrong example, but it seems that you got insulted, so the effect was right) that YOU ARE HURTING PEOPLE. If you want to discuss something, would it not be better to concentrate on the facts istead insulting people with a different opinion than yours with “feigning”. Fantasy 11:57 1 Jul 2003 (UTC) I think, it is better to restart the discussion:
[edit]
agricultural protectionism versus food safety
stewacide thinks, that the EU is using worries about food safety to achieve agricultural protectionism.
Fantasy and Ant agree that this is involved. But the main goal in requiring labels is to protect consumers, not organic farmers or organic consumers. Let the consumer decide, if they want to buy modified food.
Perhaps “Genetic Engineering” should be added to the list of Demons and devils that someone is compiling, it certainly sounds very dangerous. Ping 07:11 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Despite the fact that no scientific study has yet shown genetically modified food to be unacceptably harmful to people …
Has any study found GM foods to be acceptably harmful to people? Evercat 17:56 2 Jul 2003 (UTC)
That’s what I thought when I read it. I’m going to remove the “unacceptably” untill someone can show a study that indicated otherwise. – stewacide there were some “unacceptable” problems reported with severe cases of allergy. But the gmo have been removed. I am not aware of current relevant studies precisely on “acceptable” ones :-). However, I know of current environmental pbs which are considered acceptable. Fun :-) Despite the fact that no scientific study has yet shown genetically modified food to be harmful or harmless to humans
How can any study or any number of studies ever prove something to be entirely “harmless”? – stewacide
IT CANT - it is impossible to prove a lone hypothesis, one can only accumulate evidence that is consistent (or not) with a system of hypotheses that constitute a philosophy. There will always be room for your hypothesis to turn out false, because other assumptions may be violated. Add to this that (the departing agriculture minister indicated) British field trials and other government funded research has intentionally neglected any ‘indirect’ routes by which GMOs may cause harm to humans, such as damage to the ecosystem. So I am worried too (it’s not like you can take GM out of the ecosystem if you got it wrong, and it’s not as if Genetic Engineering is equivalent to the current system of genetic design).
I was pointing out why the addition of the word “harmless” was meaningless and lacking in NPOV. It gives the reader the impression that insuffecient research has been carried out, when in fact no ammount of research could ever be suffeceient to make such a claim (I’m sure there’s a fancy latin name for this type of rhetorical falacy). Would anyone object to me changing it back to “Despite the fact that no scientific study has yet shown genetically modified food to be harmful to humans…” ? – stewacide 07:19 4 Jul 2003 (UTC) I don’t think your proposed wording is true - IIRC some researchers added genes for manufacturing toxins to some previously edible food organism, then demonstrated that it did indeed become toxic… So we need to restrict the statement to stuff actually intended for human consumption (and to avoid giving a misleading impression, to indicate the extent to which people have looked - of course they wont have found a mechanism if they haven’t looked at all - the amount of information in the statement is proportional to the amount of research done.). I wonder if Trade in genetically modified food wouldn’t be a better title? Calling it a “trade war” may have NPOV problems. – stewacide 18:56 2 Jul 2003 (UTC)
But If you say “trade war” every one knows what we are talking about. Wikipedia uses many times the “used” words, not necessarely the “correct” word. Bush is going to court against EU, and if he does not win, I don’t want to know what is next. (By the way: was the “cold war” a war?)Fantasy 21:10 2 Jul 2003 (UTC) it might be different another day. But currently, the trade is a war. An economical war. And that is what the article is talking about. Just talking about trade of a specific product would not perhaps justify an article. In all honestly, I think it would be prudery (politically correct) to rename an article without the “war” word, just to talk about “trade war” in it. And yes, it would be misleading on the topic indeed :-) ant (the cold war was a war imho) of course, you are all welcome to move that to the best host article :-) But…if we start saying GMO plants have not been scientifically been proved to be dangerous, it is just fair that information is *really* added on the topic, yes ? User:anthere
I think that most of this information on Roundup should be moved to its page, not here. Rmhermen 19:27 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)
I see no pb with that. But, I mostly wrote this because it was added there were no credible scientific proofs GMO could be bad for the environment :-) I think I even forgot to look for RoundUp article. The only thing important imho is
a high number of currently cultivated gmo are those resistant to glyphosate Round up sales have skyrocketted since GMO surfaces increased, and farmers cultivating gmos tend to use much more than before. Round up herbicide active ingredient is glyphosate Glyphosate (also cancerogenous- should I also add it ?) and other Round up ingredients have been proved (relevant scientific studies) dangerous at high quantities, safety issue for farmers, toxic for fauna, less degradable than claimed by Monsanto (even if it is *far* less toxic than plenty other herbicides) Consequently -> use of GMO -> use of round up -> more glyphosate -> pb for humans, fauna, water quality…
Add cases of allergies, increase resistance, bt issues, studies showing diffusion of genes from one species to another (I have some virus diffusion at hand), I think that ultimately, the sentence “no credible studies have shown that some gmo have proven dangerous for the environment” should…just perhaps…be rephrased a bit ?
When done, we could perhaps explain why Gmos are good for a change ?

141, though I agree we should avoid to repeat unduly similar linkages in articles, I also think your way to hunt any double link is not a very good practice sometimes. When an article is - at two different places - referring to two different aspects of another article, it makes sens to orient the reader to this article again, not to let him search several paragraphs above the reference of this article he has maybe not focused on. This is very common practice in numerous articles.User:anthere
Polls done in 2000, (Libération), 73% of French people worried by presence of GMO in food (77% for women)

genetic discrimination
- 29 March 2005
Discrimination of gender, race in labor market has been a chronic problem in industrialized periods in United States. The advance of genetic technology produces a new kind of discrimination, genetic discrimination. In the article “Gene mapping may foster discrimination”, Paul Racer pointed out that a survey revealed “7 companies are using genetic testing for job applications or employees”, according to the journal Science. However, I think it may cause public fear for genetic tests and researches and can be exploited to discriminate candidates.
For one, since the public already have a skeptical attitude toward genetic engineering, the risk of future exploitation of personal genome, may cause some people to refuse taking genetic tests, and may drop off from genetic research programs, and then delay the progress of science. For another, although it is a great step to discover the relationship between gene and disease, the relationship itself is still a “possibility” of certain illness, and everybody would has some genes vulnerable to this or that diseases, and the decision of denying a qualified candidate by a kind of disease can be exploited to discriminate candidates.
The Schiavo case
- 24 March 2005
The Schiavo case
On Feb. 11, 2000, Pinellas Circuit Court Judge George Greer claimed that there was ‘’clear and convincing evidence’’ that Terri Schiavo would want to disconnect her feeding tube. Theresa (or Terri) Marie Schindler Schiavo, a woman in persistent vegetative state (PVS) for 15 years who suffered a severer brain damage on Feb. 25, 1990 and is suffering the third removal of live support, thus could pass away at any moment now because nutrition and hydration supplies was cut since March 18, 2005 3:00 p.m. EST. This removal is request by Michael Schiavo, the husband and legal guardian of the 41-years-old woman against the wish of her parents. The parents of Terri keep appealing to restore her feeding tube and, despite of the rejection of the court, should regain the guardianship and the right of choose the future of their daughter because of the revealing of new evidences about her medical status, her willing and, as a result, the legacy of the request.
For one, her medical status is still in debate; hence the current condition should be clarified before any decision about life termination. While Washington Times reported ”Nineteen Florida judges and six court appointed physicians have concluded Schiavo is in a persistent vegetative state, allowing the removal to proceed Friday after seven years of court wrangling.”(Washington Times, March 23, 2005).However, CNN reported that “in the affidavit filed on behalf of the state, Dr. William Cheshire, a board-certified neurologist at the Mayo Clinic, stated that his review of Schiavo raises serious doubt about the current diagnosis. He said she displayed context-specific reactions to stimuli, such as upbeat music, colorful objects or the arrival of people into the room.” (CNN, March 24, 2005).
For another, no documentation will of Terri existed to support her husband’s word, which indicates that she does not want to live artificially. “She didn’t leave any written instructions.” He admitted (AOL Journals, March 15, 2005).In another show named “Larry King Live”, he gave another claim: “We didn’t know what Terri wanted, but this is what we want. ”(CNN, March 18, 2005). Although this statement is not made in front of a court, the contradiction put the “clear and convincing” evidence finding into doubt., which made by Judge Greer to withdraw the feeding tube from Terri.
Furthermore, Although Michael Schiavo rejected offers to when Michael Schiavo, a husband who has been living with another girlfriend for 10 years and has two children by her, might have disqualified himself for a legal guardian by failing to implement the guardianship plans and requesting the death of his wife. In fact, there have been 3 guardians ad litem appointed for Terri in last 15 years, namely John H. Pecarek, Richard Pearse, Esq. and Dr. Jay Wolfson. As a result, decision made by such a doubtable guardian should have less importance than her parents wish to keep their daughter alive.
After these analyses, the feeding tube should be reconnected before the contradictions, namely physical condition and will of Terri Schiavo, are solved. It would be too late if it is not reestablished immediately. Since her husband is not a qualified guardian, her parents should receive her guardianship and then decide her fate.

示例：在MFC程序中集成.Net中的控件
- 19 March 2005
从.Net Framework 1.1开始，.Net控件可以以ActiveX的方式被集成到非托管宿主中——但是官方的支持只对于使用托管C++的MFC程序。Chris Sells在2003年3月份的MSDN杂志中描述了这样一个示例（https://web.archive.org/web/20030304083154/http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/03/WindowsForms/default.aspx）。这个示例使用的代码稍微繁琐，而且没有描述如何处理控件的事件。MFC 8.0增加了一系列这方面的支持来把这个集成过程简单化（参考http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ahdd1h97.aspx）。这使得在MFC程序中使用.Net中的一些比较好用的类，例如System::Windows::Forms::PropertyGrid比以前容易多了。
举例来说，要在MFC的基于对话框的程序中使用System::Windows::Forms::PropertyGrid控件，首先创建一个基于对话框的程序，添加必要的引用:

Chinese diet
- 08 March 2005
Chinese is famous for its food. In the history, Chinese have tradition to eat a wild range of foods and does not have a good eating habit, but it is changed in recent years. Chinese not only changed some food sources, but they also changed the ways they eat.
First, some foods are not important in Chinese diet as before. For one, Rice used to take a great part of Chinese diet, but rice is less ate now before because people are getting rich and have more choice on food, such as meat or fast food. As a side effect, diet foods consumption is increasing. For another, people stopped eating some wild animals because they are frightened by the spread of SARS. A characteristic of Chinese diet culture is that people eat almost all animals, such as monkey, bear, crow, toad, snake, mouse, spider, roach and scolopendra, but after the burst of SARS, people don’t eat them anymore.
Second, people changed their eating habits a lot. Not only modern lifestyle prevent people from waiting hours for a complex cooking, but also a lesson taught by the spread of SARS rejects some unhealthy traditional habits. In modern life, people prefer fast food because they have only little time for them. Long time cooking, as a contrast, is unlikely happen in modern lifestyle. One off dishware is more often used because of health consideration.
Although China has a long history about food, the Chinese changed a lot in food area. This is caused by globalization and preventing some diseases.
Working Tourism

Sustainable Tourism in Mozambique, Part III
Working Tourism
Not only does Mozambique have many natural and culture tourism resources, but she also has great potential of working tourism opportunities. Working tourism in Mozambique is still in the beginning for historical and economical reasons. World Bank reported that “The resource base is seriously threatened by population growth, extreme poverty, poor management and utilization and lack of financial resources.” (Mozambique - Transfrontier Conservation Areas and Tourism Development Project, 2004). These potential working tourism positions distribute in many areas, such as education, infrastructure development and natural and culture conservation development.
First, education positions are needed since local communities have little recognitions of tourism benefits and opportunities. Mr. Albino Celestino Mahumane, the Ministry of Tourism of Republic of Mozambique, reported that Mozambique had a very low level of schooling and “link between these resources and communities is crucial for development in the medium and long term.” (Mahumane, A. C., 2001). Possible positions could be English and Health, because there are many useful academic resources in these fields.
Second, positions in infrastructure development, such as roads, airports, telecommunications, water and electricity, health services, should open to attract tourists. To develop tourism in inland area, more transportations and accommodations need to be built while most of these are near the coast currently. (Mahumane, A. C., 2001). Health service is another problem that needs assisting. Again, existing technologies and human resources from foreign tourists can be used to help efforts in these improvements.
Last, increasing working positions for tourists in these areas not only help ecotourism projects with financial benefits but also with their skills and experiences. For one, “tourism in Mozambique is based on its natural resources” (Mahumane, A. C., 2001). For another, “Development of ecotourism projects does require cash and a good investment climate and some participants in the seminar felt that there were often considerable difficulties in securing finances for ecotourism projects.”(Seminar on Planning, 2001).
After these analyses, where nature-based and culture-based tourisms are unlikely to have sufficient funds for themselves, working tourism can be a supplement of them. It not only provides assistance for them, but also creates its own attraction in education and infrastructure developing.

Diet Change
- 06 March 2005
Diet Change
There are many changes in my lifestyle since I moved to USA. My diet is not an exception. The main reasons of this diet change are that some food is hard to find in U.S., or they become too expensive.
It is natural that some food is hard to find in another country, or even can not be found. For instance, the red vegetable bolt, one of my favorite vegetables, is a special local product of Wuhan, and I never find it in U.S. Many other foods, such as Re Gan Mian, or Hot Dry Noodle, and Doupi, or Dried Sheet of Mung Bean, are not cooked in American restaurants because their cooking skills are not well known. Missing food certainly disappeared from my diet.
Even some kinds of food are exported to U.S., many of them they become too expensive for me. An example of this is spinage, which is less then 8 cents per pound in Wuhan, cost me more than 1.5 dollar per pound. I have to replace them with some affordable foods, such as chicken or potato.
Move to another city always change one’s lifestyle, including diet change. Previous local foods fade out, replaced by new local food. As many of my diet change, this one is not made by doctor’s advice, but by objective and financial choices.

Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province in central China, is the one of the largest city in China. It is a major inland transition center because it is the joint of Han River and Yangtze River, and a rallying point of Major railway. Its Hanzheng Street market is one of the largest markets in China. Thus, although tourism can be improved, but this is not effective, because the scabrous environment problems and poor infrastructures.
Tourism in Wuhan, as one of the old, large cities, has developed already. According to the official website of Wuhan government, Wuhan was named Excellent Tourism City in China by National Tourism Administration. The city is hard to become more famous, build more conservation zone, have more transportation, or reveal more scenes. Although the number of tourists increased a little after several efforts were made in recent decades, such as that many railways, gas stations, highways, electrical billboard was disseminated, many hotels were built. However, the improvement is mainly for business purpose and their contributions to tourism are not very notable.

Primates
- 28 February 2005
A few primates live on the ground, but most primates spend their time in trees because they have good eyes, grasping hands and feet, and their bodies are well suited to life in the trees. First, primates have large eyes to look straight forward; in addition, higher primates can focus both eyes on the same object and some primates also see colors. Second, besides many other mammals have claws, primates have flat nails on the end of their fingers and toes to help support enlarged pads, which is sensitive to touch and have nonskid ridges. Last, according to Gordon M. Shepherd (2004), “Comparisons of the decreasing size of the olfactory system relative to expansion of the visual, auditory, and somatosensory systems usually focus on the olfactory bulb and lateral olfactory tract, which are relatively small. “ That is to say, although primates among the most intelligent of mammals for most of them have large brains, but the part related to the sense of smell of their brain is relatively small, because they do not depend much on their smell(Humans Smell with Bigger and Better Brains) .
Primates have fewer young than most mammals because a mother bears only one or two young at a time, but the young primates stay with their mothers for a longer time, which allows them to learn more from their mothers and the group they live in.

First, I am most delighted that the city government continues supporting Urban Park Project (UPJ). I am also pleased with that the government had assured that the urban park will continue to preserve nature instead of to change it to a tourist site.
However, I am sorry to hear that the UPJ can not support Urban Park in all forms because it has limited resources. Since maintaining this project need more funds than expected, I suggest that limited, sustainable tourism such as ecotourism and working holidays should be arranged to help the UPJ experts continue to do their best.

Primates nurse their young with milk. The primate family, namely monkeys and apes, is one of the major groups of mammals. The word “Primate” comes from the Latin word “primus”, which means “first”. Most primates live in tropical places; however, men, classified by Scientists as primates, live in almost all regions and climates of the world.

Generation Gap Prevention
I am only 7 years elder than my niece, and I thought there were no generation gap between she and me. I’m not so sure about this after I moved to the city where she lived. Although I could have a conversation about internet, computer and study with her like a teacher, I could hardly use another topic since culture evolved, fashion refreshed, famous names faded out, common words altered, politicians went in and out of position, and economic is reformed. Therefore, embarrassing silence frequently occurred. This scenario may remain true when I have a child, but now there is something I will do to narrow this gap, such as self-restraint, polite words and respect child.

Virtual friends, or cyber friends, are friends that were contacted by internet. Usually, we recognize new virtual friend in chat rooms, newsgroups, online forum, and blogs. Each of them has a topic you interested in, so usually you can friend with a same interest-that is a good beginning of friendship. You can contact a virtual friend online much easier than in real world. You can communicate massively to know one quickly. Therefore, making virtual friends is easier than making real friends.

The survey is based on 3 male upper division students, 2 U.S. students and a International student from Vietnam. Questionnaires were asked several questions to express their view about university life. One student named himself Justin Loured; other two prefer to be not named.
Majority of the interviewed students have a lot of homework-3 to 5 hours per day. A student with double majors (no named #2) has 5-hours homework per day, Justin Loured has 3-4 hours per day, while he is taking 5 classes only. The major difference between how they imagined and how they fell about the university is the difficulty of the courses, and they think the professors are good and fair in grading students.

Since stresses are inevitable, control the negitave effect of stress is the only thing you can do with stress.Stress management, is a very common task of U.S. family doctors. two-thirds of visits are about stress problems, says the American Academic of Family Physicans. The gole of the task is to reduce anxiety about stress.This body reaction to stress is useful to physical stress such as a fire, or a fight, but is not good for body for an emotional stress. Doctors use are a lot of skills to prevent illness cause by the anxiety of stress, such as focus and control. Sometimes the situation get out of our control, trying to control it is a huge stressor.

Self-Efficacy

Introduction
“Attitude decides everything”, former Chinese men’ soccer team coach Bora Milutinović kept telling to his squad during the qualification for World Cup 2002 Finals. Although the first experience in WC Finals was not enterprising, the qualification itself was considered as a great achievement. Why they could not occur in WC Finals earlier when they used to have better players and a better team? I think the main reason of it is that they did not realize their ability well. Well self-judgments of personal capabilities to initiate and successfully perform specified tasks at designated levels, expend greater effort, and persevere in the face of adversity, holds significant power for predicting and explaining academic performance in various domains.
First Children and Education (version 2)

Introduction
The first children of families were used to success their families, as a result, they usually have been educated more carefully, and then they are more educated than their younger siblings. But when time passes by, things are changing. Succession is not exclusive, and children have equal right to be educated now. Do the former successors have equally opportunities to get higher degrees now? No, younger children are more successful to get higher education; not only because the parents are more experienced since the birth of the first children, but also because younger children can benefit from their older siblings.

No, younger children are more successful to get higher education; not only because the parents are more experienced since the birth of the first children, but also because younger children can benefit from their older siblings.
Conclusion:
Again, in general, more skilled parents and sometimes a role model sibling in are two major differences between a first child and her/his younger siblings. They lead to better education quality and usually higher education degree for younger siblings.

First Children and Education
- 03 February 2005
The first children of families were used to success their families, as a result, they usually have been educated more carefully, and then they are more educated than their younger sisters or brothers. But things are changing. Succession is not exclusive, and children have equal right to be educated. Have they equally opportunities to get higher degrees now? No, younger children are more successful to get higher education; not only because the parents are more experienced after the first children, but also because younger children can benefit from their older brother or sister.
Self-efficacy, one’s self-judgments of personal capabilities to initiate and successfully perform specified tasks at designated levels, expend greater effort, and persevere in the face of adversity (Bandura, 1977; 1986), is a relatively new construct in academic research (Multon, Brown, & Lent, 1991; Schunk, 1991a, 1994). Although self-efficacy is examined with much greater depth in therapeutic contexts, recent studies show that self-efficacy holds significant power for predicting and explaining academic performance in various domains (Lent, Brown & Larkin, 1986; Marsh, Walker, & Debus, 1991; Schunk, 1989a; Schunk, 1994; Zimmerman, Bandura, & Martinez-Pons, 1992).

Expectation differences between male and female in Chinese culture (Revised)
- 30 January 2005
There are many sexism cultures; and Chinese culture is not an exception. Although legends told that humans are created by a female god, Chinese women are not only considered less important in their family, but also deactivated in the education, business and political areas until modern decades.
First, women are expected to have lower position in a family. For one thing, they are not expected to succeed a family. Only male members have their name registered in genealogies. Girls are considered less important than their brothers because they will move out from the family after marriage. For another, traditional people usually expect a husband should be richer, smarter, older or even taller than a wife, even in the equalitarian communist decades. As a result, either in the family of their parents or in their husband’s, women are not considered as important as their brothers or husbands.

It is not good topic to talk with, but do some investigations on it will help you aware of its risk and you can device to do something to prevent you from failing.
The first thing to know is the standard of different grading. Usually you can find some relative information in the syllabus of a course. If you did not find it there, you can ask the teacher about it. Generally, the two most common causes why students fail in a class are: a) too many absences, b) failure to do their class assignments. Few teachers pay less care about attendances or assignments and more attention on exams.

Exercise 5. Sentence Combining
A coin is a piece of metal that has a certain weight. It has the mark of the people who issued it. The Lydians were a powerful people in Asia who needed a convenient method of receiving payment for products they produced, so they made the first coins in the seventh century B.C. These primitively made coins were composed of “electrum”, a natural composition of gold and silver. Later, the Greeks saw these coins and appreciated their usefulness, and they began to make coins, too. About 100 years later, not only many cities in Greece had coins, but cities all over the mainland of Asia Minor also had them. On one hand, gold coins were the most valuable; on the other hand, silver and copper were also used. The Romans later adopted the idea, carrying it on for 500 years, when the art of coinage declined. In the fifteenth century, the art of coinage was revived not only because there was more metal available, but also because there were many skilled artists to engrave to coins in this period of history. The first coins made in America, in 1752, where not regular in shape. As a result, they were not the same weight. Our society, with its vast numbers of coin-operated machines, could not function without this ancient invention.

所以建议的方式是将析构函数声明为虚函数。如果你使用MFC，并且以CObject或其派生类为基类，那么MFC已经为你做了这件事情；CObject的析构函数是虚函数。一个函数一旦声明为虚函数，那么不管你是否加上virtual修饰符，它在所有派生类中都成为虚函数。但是为了理解明确起见，建议的方式还是加上virtual 修饰符。
在Visual C++中编译工程时自动增加版本号
- 24 January 2005
微软知识库中的文章How To Increment Version Information After Each Build in Visual C++（https://web.archive.org/web/20070211114127/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237870/）提供了在VC6中自动增加版本号的方法。在VS.Net中，需要对这个宏进行少许的更改：https://web.archive.org/web/20040616201737/http://www.thecodeproject.com/macro/IncBuildNrMacro.asp
也可以使用VS.NET插件来实现该功能，一个示例在下面的网址可以找到:
何时一个类的指针可以强制转化为另外一个类的指针，即使它们之间没有派生关系？
- 24 January 2005
问：我看到CListView的成员函数GetListCtrl直接把CListView本身的指针转换为CListCtrl指针。我想知道在什么情况下可以安全地把一个类的指针转化为另一个类的指针？
答:只要你访问的数据的内存表示是完全相同的，那么这种转化就是安全的。

编程控制Modem/PPPoE拨号连接
- 23 January 2005
在Windows中拨号上网(包括MODEM和PPPoe)，一般都是用Windows平台提供的的Remote Access Service(RAS，远程访问服务):https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/rras/about-remote-access-service 。其中的连接操作函数（https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/rras/ras-connection-operations）可以用于对拨号连接进行操作。比较常用的几个函数是RasDial、RasHangUp、RasEnumConnection和RasGetConnectStatus，以及自定义的通知处理函数（https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/rras/notification-handlers）。
Windows XP/2003内建了对PPPoe拨号连接的支持，参考 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/rras/point-to-point-protocol-over-ethernet-connections 。
编程实现远程唤醒PC
- 23 January 2005
为了唤醒网络上的计算机，必须发出一种特殊的数据包，该数据包的格式与普通数据包不同，而且还必须使用相应的专用软件才能产生。当前普遍采用的是AMD公司制作的Magic Packedt这套软件以生成网络唤醒所需要的特殊数据包，俗称魔术包（Magic Packet）。该数据包包含有连续6个字节的“FF”和连续重复16次的MAC地址。 Magic Packet格式虽然只是AMD公司开发推广的技术，并非世界公认的标准，但是仍然受到很多网卡制造商的支持，因此 许多具有网络唤醒功能的网卡都能与之兼容。
需要更多关于Magic Packet的信息的话，可以参考 https://web.archive.org/web/20020805085929/http://www.amd.com/us-en/ConnectivitySolutions/TechnicalResources/0,,50_2334_2481,00.html
限制应用程序的实例数目
- 22 January 2005
某些应用程序处理紧缺资源，例如可擦写光驱、串口或者大量内存，通常不希望这种应用程序的多个实例同时运行。
实际上你没有办法限制用户只能启动一次。你可以做到的是在应用程序启动之后查找是否用户启动了另一个实例。如果没有找到现存的实例，应用程序以正常方式启动。否则，通常的处理是退出。
编程控制活动桌面，用ActiveX控件来增强桌面的功能
- 22 January 2005
活动桌面处理和一个例子 （https://web.archive.org/web/20010503055645/http://www.vckbase.com/vckbase/vckbase10/vc/nonctrls/atlcomocx_02/1002001.htm）讲述了使用IActiveDesktop接口可以做到的事情。
活动桌面允许在桌面上显示HTML网页，这也意味着我们可以在桌面上的项目中以在网页中使用ActiveX控件来对网页进行扩展的方式来提供丰富的内容。但是不建议在桌面上使用不安全的控件，例如Windows Media Player 6.0。

A Successful Moment
- 19 January 2005
I am so proud that I was awarded Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional) last year. I was so excited I was sleepless for days. I got an invitation of Global MVP Summit, where I recognized several MVPs and experts in Microsoft and have myself recognized by them. It was the highest horner I had ever been awarded.
I was so inspired that I contributed more in the last year. I am re-awarded this year.
How To Detect If an Application Has Stopped Responding
- 31 December 2004
简介：本文描述了如何使用C++、VB、Windows API和.Net类库判断一个进程是否停止了响应。
没有一个明确的“停止响应”的定义，例如对于Internet Explorer或者Word 2000这样的多顶层窗口应用程序，可能存在部分顶层窗口失去响应的情况，这时很难定义应用程序是否停止了响应。但是一般来说，很多应用程序只有一个标志性窗口（或者叫主窗口）。如果主窗口在一段时间内不响应用户操作的时候，对于用户来说应用程序是停止响应的（例如在Internet Explorer等待远程FTP服务器返回登录结果时）。尽管这经常属于其他应用程序应该妥善考虑的范畴，但是如果自己的应用程序依赖于这样的程序而没有源代码级控制权，那么应该提供一个机会允许用户中断对外部应用程序的等待或者干脆终止外部应用程序。

动态屏蔽Control+Alt+Delete(Update)
- 25 July 2004
我曾经编写过一篇关于动态屏蔽Control+Alt+Delete的文章。数月之后我把文章的英文修订版发在了CodeProject(https://web.archive.org/web/20081015201511/http://www.codeproject.com/system/preventclose.asp)。但是当时我并未发现代码在调试环境下崩溃的原因。在很长时间之后，我看到Antonio Feijao在他最近发表的一篇文章之中用C重写了这个代码，并且添加了一些注释说明了编译器设置可能出现的问题。我认为这篇文章对我的文章的读者也是很有用的，所以准备在我的文章中添加他的文章的链接。
文章介绍：
如何: 通过HTML文档对象模型访问文档中的ActiveX控件的属性
- 13 July 2004
111222的CSDN文档中心文章 用 MSHTML 的一点经验（https://web.archive.org/web/20051126180205/http://dev.csdn.net/develop/article/10/10456.shtm） 说明了如何访问在HTML文档对象模型中的网页的元素、内容。但是，有时候开发者实际上需要访问的是网页中ActiveX控件的属性、方法和事件。例如，你在网页载入之后需要修改/获取MediaPlayer的媒体源，以及控制MediaPlayer的播放。
为获得ActiveX控件的接口,我们需要访问文档对象模型。获得文档接口的方法多种多样，比如CHtmlView::GetHtmlDocument,IWebBrowser2::get_Document，IHTMLWindow2::get_document等等，参见111222的文档。这里我直接用一个函数GetDHtmlDocument表示获得这个接口的函数。你可以自己实现这个函数。

在应用程序中集成浏览器控件(Update)(Subjet to change without notice)
- 06 July 2004
浏览器控件是一个提供浏览器绝大部分功能的ActiveX控件，随Microsoft? Internet Explorer 4.0(IE)或者更高版本发行。实际上，IE可以认为是一个集成浏览器控件的程序。
怎么给用户提供丰富的内容一直是程序员们努力的目标。尽管各种各样的界面库可能使你眼花缭乱，但是这些也是美工和程序员的恶梦——要自定义界面上的每个元素的外观并不是一件容易的事情，而且有时候需要比较复杂的技术，例如自定义程序中出现的滚动条的颜色。

CSDN的社区是免费的，做点广告本来是无可厚非；但是做到一个帖子上面两个大Flash加左边一大堆图片广告，开了五个帖子就把我的K7 700HZ 512M RAM搞死机就有点过头了……要是不禁用Flash很少人能上CSDN的话，广告还有什么效果？不是每个人都有P4的（顺便说一下，开了五个页面之后浏览器进程在偶刚买的P4本本上CPU占用率也没下过95%……开一个帖子在偶的K7上面也一样……）
在这里抱怨一下，希望尽快把那两个广告换成GIF什么的，不然偶不得不写个CSDN浏览器出来在浏览的时候砍掉所有图片和控件……

在应用程序中添加宏支持的注意事项 (Update)
- 27 June 2004
用笔记本用多了，PC键盘用起来不是很习惯了。
在我的一篇文章脚本化浏览器中描述了如何在应用程序中添加宏支持。在添加支持的时候需要注意的是，宏的运行环境——VBS脚本引擎——目前只支持变体数据类型。这造成的一个结果就是当你的应用程序触发一个事件的时候，如果其参数并不都是变体数据类型，那么你编写的宏不是总会被调用。解决的方法是总是声明你的事件参数为变体数据类型。
跨进程访问共享内存的权限问题
- 24 June 2004
问：
我在服务器上用 CreateFileMapping 创建了一段共享内存。让这个exe始终在服务器上跑。同时，别的用户在客户端用IE访问服务器，将要查询的数据通过C#制作的网页提交上来，服务器得到网页参数后，建立一个COM对象访问上一个exe的共享内存，然后将在共享内存中的查询结果返回给客户。问题是现在这个COM无法用openmapping访问exe的共享内存，提示 访问拒绝 。而我在服务器上随便建议一个工程编译成exe,文件就可访问这段共享内存!!为何在网页中就不成？COM难道要有什么权限设置.两个进程之间的权限整合方法是什么？怎么用DACL?
重新启动服务
- 23 June 2004

微软知识库文章Q194916 Restarting Web Services and Scheduled Tasks with a Batch File（https://www.betaarchive.com/wiki/index.php/Microsoft_KB_Archive/194916）中描述了定时用命令行重新启动IIS的方法，有想偷懒的网管可以试试。平台SDK中包含工具的SC.exe可以对服务进行更加详细的配置。
对话框数据交换 (Update)
- 14 May 2004
通常，简单的对话框不使用结构来存储成员数据。但是大量的简单类型的成员交换会使得代码繁琐。这时候可以使用结构来封装简单类型的数据，声明一个赋值操作符和修改DDX调用来简化数据交换代码。

DAO拥有ADO/ADOx/JRO所没有的东西（也许从不会有！
- 27 February 2004
转自 http://www.trigeminal.com/usenet/usenet025.asp?2052
微软很清楚地把ADO定位为DAO的替换……许多微软的代理认为DAO 就是DOA（Dead On Arrival（到达即死），在美国，这是一个术语，用来描写那些希望获救的人在救护车刚到达，要抢救他们时，他们就死了）。然而，在DAO中，许多核心函数功能时被支持的，而ADO/ADOx/JRO 却不被支持，而且甚至可能从未被支持，因为微软似乎正把用户推向其他方向。而Jet本身不会“死”，很清楚，它不再是一个策略平台，所以，在Jet中，似乎不只是要有足够的兴趣使工作做得更有效了。 对于全记录，这里是一个DAO有而ADO没有的所有能力表：
使用IE5内建的进度对话框
- 12 February 2004

CDHtmlDialog捕获了DWebBrowserEvets事件，并将其转发到虚函数，而没有捕获DWebBrowserEvents2；所以在按Ctrl+N触发DWebBrowserEvents2事件的时候，执行默认操作——打开新的IE窗口。这可能不是你预料之中的行为。

分析MFC中的映射
- 05 January 2004
MFC中大量使用了BEGIN_XXX_MAP这样的宏，以及映射进行查找优化，例如消息映射，OLE命令映射，以及接口等等。每个映射包含一个指向基类的映射的指针。这样，当一个类需要根据一定的条件查找一个对象时，它会查找本类对象，如果没有找到，那么会查找基类，直到根基类。这类查找包含Windows消息，命令，事件和OLE命令的分发，和对象实现的接口的查询等等。
下面是函数BOOL CWnd::OnWndMsg(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, LRESULT* pResult)的部分代码，演示了如何根据消息的ID查找处理函数。

摆脱在每个命令消息处理函数中的TRY和CATCH
- 02 August 2001
每个命令处理都可能导致异常，抛出异常通常导致终止当前命令处理。在每个命令处理过程中编写异常处理代码是一个十分繁琐的工作，由于命令是CCmdTarget::OnCmdMsg中处理的，所以可以这个函数中处理所有命令处理过程产生的异常而不用分别编写异常处理函数。
CCccXCommandHandler是一个基于CCmdTarget的类(参考使用单独的命令处理类来处理命令消息)。此示例可推广到所有CCmdTarget的派生类。
使用目录内容建立菜单
- 02 August 2001
目的：根据目录内容，建立一个菜单。菜单项为目录中的文件和子目录（以弹出方式显示）。
解决方案：遍历子目录，建立一个文件路径数组。菜单项的ID是数组的索引。当用户单击某个菜单项时，从数组中读取文件路径并执行相应的操作。
使用单独的命令处理类来处理命令消息
- 02 August 2001
适用于有很多命令处理函数的对象，以及共享命令处理函数。
应用程序的主窗口通常要处理许多命令消息。这会使文件变得很大，不容易查找。为明确起见，可以将对象对命令消息的处理抽象出来，做成一个（这里是一个，但是可以按用途分成多个）类。
