Install Windows XP Pro SP3 OS using diskette drive at Dell PowerEdge 2600 server (Rev: 1.1)
Posted on 7:48 PM by Unknown
IntroductionThe Dell PowerEdge 2600 server (2.4 Ghz * 2, 2 GB RAM, 6 * 73 GB 10K rpm hardisks) had a spoilt SCSI CDROM drive and the latest BIOS version A14 does not support booting from USB ports. A new SCSI DVD drive from Dell cost S$101.65 including 7% GST and delivery charge. The Dell server was bought on 25/2/2003 and was considered an obsolete model in today. Hence, it does not seems worth to buy the SCSI DVD drive that can only be used on the Dell PowerEdge 2600 server.Dell officially support Windows 2000, server 2003 or 2008 x86/x64 Operating...

学日语的坏处与优点 (Rev: 1.0)
Posted on 5:05 PM by Unknown
学日语的两大坏处 (Reference from 闲聊日语)我因为家庭方面的原因,从小就能说日语。由于有这样一个特殊条件,我爱人一直想让我教我儿子学日语,我就是不教,我爱人问我为什么,我说原因复杂,三言两语也说不清楚。 后来,仔细想了想,觉得原因也能说清楚。与学习其他外语相比,我个人觉得,学日语有两大坏处,或者换句话说,日语有两大缺点。第一个缺点是:日语的学习强度太大。国外学者做过这样一个统计,英国孩子只要记住1000个单词,即可看懂日常英文文章的80%,法国孩子是1000个单词84%,西班牙孩子是1000个单词81%,而日本孩子1000个单词只能看懂46%。日本孩子要看懂80%以上,至少需要记住约4000个单词。你说这个学习强度是不是太大。第二个缺点是:日语的语言效率太低。由于日语本身的一些特点,比如动词放在句子的最后面,名词放在定语的最后面,等等,日语在国际交往中,被公认为是效率最低的语言之一。上面这几句话,专业性有点强,我举一个通俗的例子。 比如火车站上的广播(翻译成中文):各位旅客,前往新泻的列车就要进站了,本次列车,中途在大宫、熊谷、高崎、、、、、、(后面还有一长串地名),听到这里,旅客一般都会认为,这些地名,肯定都是火车中途的停车站,所以并不注意去听,没想到播音员说着说着,最后竟然是“止まりません(不停车)”。有个旅客是去涩川,听到这里,大吃一惊,由于刚才没注意听,不知道那一长串地名中,是否有涩川,于是赶快跑到站长室去询问。这就是语言效率低的突出表现。所以我的结论是:除非您有特殊的理由,比如哈日,爱看日剧,想去日本留学等,你可以学习日语,如果没有特殊理由,我建议您优先学英语。学日语的三个小优点...
