家乡见闻(三)

      晚上去吃饭,回来躺了会。看到某人的BLOG,发现看了很久居然完全不知道在说什么。。。。于是决定更新一下。
      于是就发现自己现在挺可怜的,更新一下还要给自己找这么多借口。好在庆幸没有把中文用到看不懂的地步,不然岂不是要回中学去考下中文XX考试之类的?
      嗯,不能再多说废话了。本来写得就不多,又让废话占去三段。
      其实我想说得是,尽管在兰州的时候谁都没有见到,但我提了一箱牛肉面回来,从上海到合肥。
      我也不知道这算不算家乡见闻,但是想想所谓“家乡见闻”只写了几篇,所以姑且就算吧。
      不知道有多少人还来这里看,呵呵,罪过罪过,且忍了老衲这些废话吧。

      那天看到“海鲜酒家”四个字的时候,就像到了jobo。呵呵,厮在上海过得很好。想起2002年的最后一天下午,偶们躲在他阴暗的家的一个角落里玩寂静岭的场景。
      貌似那天雾很大很吓人,只记住了破败的海鲜酒家。

      飘来飘去。
      人不如意十之八九,却又奈何不得。因为其他人不懂,也不会知道。

月饼节好

      月饼节,粽子节,元宵节。

收到准考证了

第一周

从兰州出发
到从上海回来
两周过去了

最近装了TextMate,Jo推荐的
嗯嗯,的确比eMacs好用多了
在此严重感谢Jo和狻的盛情款待

上海是个很复杂的地方
每次去心情都很复杂
一次又一次
如同北京
自己总觉得生命总是纠缠在一起
过去和未来
无比相似
一次又一次
虽然不知到是否早有安排
但是确实总在相同的地点
为了相同的目的而出现
一次又一次

考试很短
时间却很长
这几个学期看了一些藏学书籍
心里毕竟平静了一些
我也不知到这两件事是否有关
但的确就是这样

姑且如此

Panel Rejects Microsoft’s Open Format

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/05/technology/05soft.html 

A panel of software experts yesterday unexpectedly rebuffed Microsoft’s
bid to have its open document format, Office Open XML, recognized as an
international standard. The decision complicates the company’s effort
to extend its dominance to the emerging field of open documents.

After
five months of electronic balloting, Microsoft failed to meet the two
voting criteria to win a designation as an approved standard from the
Geneva-based International Organization for Standardization, or the
I.S.O., and the International Electrotechnical Commission, or I.E.C.

The
fight over the standard, while technically arcane, is commercially
important because more governments are demanding interchangeable open
document formats for their vast amounts of records, instead of
proprietary formats tied to one company’s software. The only
standardized format now available to government buyers is OpenDocument
Format, developed by a consortium led by I.B.M., which the I.S.O. approved in May 2006.

The
timing of the decision may be inopportune for Microsoft, coming two
weeks before the European Court of First Instance is to rule on its
appeal of the European Commission’s 2004 antitrust decision against the company.

Of
the 87 countries that participated, 26 percent opposed Microsoft’s bid.
Under the rules for approval, no more than 25 percent of the countries
could oppose the bid. Microsoft also failed to win the vote of 66
percent of 41 countries on another panel of I.S.O. and I.E.C. members.

The
tug of war up to the vote was reminiscent of the company’s squabbles
with rivals. The critics of the company say that Microsoft’s dominance
of personal computer software gives it an unfair advantage, while the
company maintains that its innovations and technical expertise make for
superior products.

More than 90 percent of all digital text
documents in the world are in Microsoft formats, according to the
consulting firm Gartner. Many national and local governments in Europe
and some in the United States are requiring open formats to reduce
their reliance on Microsoft. In an open format, the computer code is
public, which allows developers to create new products that use it
without paying royalties.

Tom Robertson, Microsoft’s general
manager for interoperability and standards, predicted that Microsoft’s
format would be eventually adopted.

“Open XML is already widely available and is being used by Apple and Novell,” he said. “It is in the Palm operating system, and in the Java and Linux operating environments.”

Some critics of Microsoft blamed the company’s own aggressive lobbying for its defeat.

A
member of an advisory panel that voted on the standards issue in
Malaysia, who declined to be identified, said Microsoft’s lobbying in
the country had reached into high levels of government.

The
Industry Standards Committee on Information Technology of Malaysia
decided to vote against Microsoft’s format, but the Malaysian
government abstained in the end.

Mr. Robertson said Microsoft had
sought to persuade voters of the merits of Office Open XML, just as
I.B.M. had lobbied against it. “Many countries have taken part in this
vote, including countries that supported us,” he said.
