how can be like this?

today busy doinz case study for tomoro submission and feel very tired because last nite did not sleep very well.. some1 had bothered my sweet dreams over and over again.. there are few illegal occupants in my hostel.. i wonder how 3 or 4 person can fit and sleep inside a single room.. i do not mind that they are illegal but they still do not concern about other people who stays in the same apartment.. they play music with woofer most the time, smoking and make the living room dirty all the time, even worse that they having party few times a week.. For me, their attitude were even worse than gangsters and wonder how our country can be well developed through such human capital.. By the way, still case study, why our class were given a tough case study while another class always given the more easy one, this very unfair seem both class are from same faculty, same program, same lecturer only different tutors.. swt~

innovation of cushion = more features

Cat Technical Support

This is an actual account by a worker at a technical support and service center. One particular customer had an old console-type machine with a print head that would ride back and forth on a spiral shaft. They also had a big bushy cat who liked to sit on the edge of the printer next to the operator.


Well, one day we got a service call that said, "Cat caught in machine, come quick!"


When I arrived I saw everyone sitting around mending their various wounds, scratches and contusions. No sight of the cat. It appears that while they were running the machine the cat was twirling his tail in his usual fashion and stuck it down into the printer at the most inopportune time and got sucked in! Apparently, the cat absolutely freaked out and clawed at everyone who came close. They finally freed the cat, and to this day, the cat goes nowhere near the machine.

Software Engineering-jokes

At a recent computer software engineering course, the participants were given an awkward question to answer:

"If you had just boarded an airliner and discovered that your team of programmers had been responsible for the flight control software, how many of you would disembark immediately?"

Among the ensuing forest of raised hands only one man sat motionless. When asked what he would do, he replied that he would be quite content to stay aboard. With his team's software, he said, the plane was unlikely to even taxi as far as the runway, let alone take off.

Call Center - jokes

I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day,7 days a week."

He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?"

Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific."

Army inventions, by air and by land


Soldiers are renowned for finding ways to modify and improve their issued gear to meet the realities of life in the field. Often, that involves using liberal amounts of duct tape. Then there are the more substantial efforts to build a better piece of gear. The U.S. Army this week paid tribute to some of that work in the form of its "Top 10 Greatest Inventions of 2008" awards, which recognize equipment that was fielded within the Army during 2008.


The first one on display here is the Enhanced Mobile Rapid Aerostat Initial Deployment Vehicle, from the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center. The EMRAID vehicle integrates a number of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities onto a single, rapidly deployable platform.

Biomimicry Creates New Tires


Biomimicry is the science that imitates nature to create new products.
Resilient Technologies, a Wisconsin based company, has created a tire that can't go flat.
Instead of using a pressurized air cavity, the tire design relies on a geometric pattern of six-sided cells that are arranged in a matrix like a honeycomb.
It has the same ride, reduced noise levels and heat generation as pressurized tires. The goal was to create an airless tire with uniform flexibility and load transfer that would endure tremendous wear and tear and still perform well.
The best design was found in nature, which was the honeycomb.

Inside IBM's deep green data center


This is one half of IBM's Green Innovations Data Center in Southbury, Conn., where Big Blue's internal IT staff pushes the green envelope. This facility, which hosts several internal IBM applications, is packed with millions of dollars' worth of IBM hardware, of course, but also some of the latest energy-efficiency techniques.



On the far right, you can see one of those: a back door heat exchanger designed for its high-end iDataplex server system. Called Cool Blue , the system circulates cold water through the door to lower the temperature of the heat coming from servers' fans.

IS human or a robot?? hehez.. this is a robot developed by Japan..
The AIST (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science Technology) has released its newest robotic humanoid in Japan. The HRP -4C was strutting her stuff on a runway and has become the hottest fashion model in the technology industry. Created to look like an average 5ft2″, Japanese woman with 30 motors in her body and 8 motors in her face, she can walk, move, blink and talk like a human and express emotions of anger and surprise.

HRP-4C can be re-programmed with different movements and facial expressions. The programming technology will be released to the public so everyone can contribute to new moves for the robot.

General Motors Helpline - just relax

General Motors doesn't have a "help line" for people who don't know how to drive, because people don't buy/use cars like they buy/use computers -- but imagine if they did . . .
HELPLINE: "General Motors HelpLine, how can I help you?"
CUSTOMER: "I got in my car and closed the door, and nothing happened!"
HELPLINE: "Did you put the key in the ignition slot and turn it?"
CUSTOMER: "What's an ignition?"
HELPLINE: "It's a starter motor that draws current from your battery and turns over the engine."
CUSTOMER: "Ignition? Motor? Battery? Engine? How come I have to know all of these technical terms just to use my car?"
-----------------------------------------
HELPLINE: "General Motors HelpLine, how can I help you?"
CUSTOMER: "My car ran fine for a week, and now it won't go anywhere!"
HELPLINE: "Is the gas tank empty?"
CUSTOMER: "Huh? How do I know!?"
HELPLINE: "There's a little gauge on the front panel, with a needle, and markings from 'E' to 'F.' Where is the needle pointing?"
CUSTOMER: "It's pointing to 'E.' What does that mean?"
HELPLINE: "It means that you have to visit a gasoline vendor, and purchase some more gasoline. You can install it yourself, or pay the vendor to install it for you."
CUSTOMER: "What!?" I paid $15,000. for this car! Now you tell me that I have to keep buying more components? I want a car that comes with everything built in!"
----------------------------------------
HELPLINE: "General Motors HelpLine, how can I help you?"
CUSTOMER: "Your cars stink!"
HELPLINE: "What's wrong?"
CUSTOMER: "It crashed, that's what went wrong!"
HELPLINE: "What were you doing?"
CUSTOMER: "I wanted to run faster, so I pushed the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. It worked for a while, and then it crashed -- and now it won't start!"
HELPLINE: "It's your responsibility if you misuse the product. What do you expect us to do about it?"
CUSTOMER: "I want you to send me one of the latest version that doesn't crash anymore!"
-----------------------------------------
HELPLINE: "General Motors HelpLine, how can I help you?"
CUSTOMER: "Hi! I just bought my first car, and I chose your car because it has automatic transmission, cruise control, power steering, power brakes, and power door locks."
HELPLINE: "Thank you for buying our car. How can I help you?"
CUSTOMER: "How do I work it?"
HELPLINE: "Do you know how to drive?"
CUSTOMER: "Do I know how to what?"
HELPLINE: "Do you know how to drive?"
CUSTOMER: "I'm not a technical person! I just want to go places in my car!"

No Sound Support - jokes

I recently purchased a new PC from one of the major computer manufacturers. I placed my order via the web but asked for them to call me for my credit card information. So, after a couple days of phone tag, I got in touch with the saleswoman handling my account. I was thinking I'd just give her my credit card number and be on my way.
Almost.

Saleswoman: “Do you realize that the modem you've chosen doesn't have sound support?”
Customer: “What exactly does a ‘modem with no sound support’ mean?”
Saleswoman: “It means that if you go to a web page that has a movie or sound file, youwon't be able to hear it.”
Customer: “What does the modem have to do with that?”
Saleswoman: “Well, sir, the modem is what connects your computer to the Internet.”
Customer: “So, you're telling me that this particular modem scans the TCP/IP packetspassing through it for those belonging to any sound application and filters them out?”
Saleswoman: “Yes.”
Customer: “How does it accomplish this feat?”
Saleswoman: “I'm not technical enough to answer that. Please hold.”
I stayed on hold for five minutes and hung up.

To The Book Cave for Reading Fans!

Japanese designer and artist Sakura Adachi came up with the idea of crossing a comfortable chair and the ordinary bookcase and came up with this invention. It’s quite an ingenious minimalist approach (one that is very much appreciated by many Japanese) to furniture for book lovers because aside from the fact that the chair is very comfortable and durable, it also saves space occupied by large furniture because the device is “inside” the bookcase.
While it might actually disrupt the methods of those who read with laptops and do other activities to compliment their reading, this device really appeals to many children and adults alike, especially those who love to just read and read all day..

CD Player - funny

I wanted to buy a CD player, but was completely perplexed by one model's promotional sign. So I called the sales clerk over and asked, "What does 'hybrid pulse D/A converter' mean?"


He said, "That means that this machine will read the digital information that is encoded on CDs and convert it into an audio signal."


"In other words," I said, "this CD player plays CDs."
"Exactly."

Cars vs Computers

Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving twenty-five dollar cars that got 1000 mi/gal."
General Motors addressed this comment by releasing the statement, "Yes, but would you want your car to crash twice a day?"


So, here you are: a dozen reasons to be glad the automotive industry hasn't kept up with the computer industry:
1. Every time you wanted to drive on a different road, you would have to buy a new car.
2. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this, restart and drive on.
3. Occasionally, executing a common maneuver would cause your car to stop and fail and you would have to re-install the engine. For some strange reason, you would accept this too.
4. Traffic jams would be known as lag, and you'd accept them as well.
5. You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought "Car95" or "CarNT". But, then you would have to buy more seats.
6. Macintosh would make a car that came fully loaded with optional equipment, was powered by the sun, reliable, five times as fast, twice as easy to drive, but would do no advertising and have no dealerships
7. Every now and then, a Cray car would blow past doing about 1000 times your speed - and God help you if you were in the fast lane.
8. Buying a new set of tires would also require one to buy multiple other accessories or the car wouldn't run properly.
9. The airbag system would say "are you sure?" before going off.
10. The resale value would drop 75% as soon as you drove out of the showroom and would be $0.00 within two years - trade ins, forget about it!
11. For service you would have to call a toll free number and select the proper number for the repair you wish to have done. An automated voice would walk you through the step to repair the car yourself and when that didn't work refer you to the company that sold the gas for the car.
12. The oil, gas and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single "general car default" warning light which would come on only when it was too late to fix the problem.

Faith The DOG



Everytime we met failure, displeasure and undesirable things throughout the life, we might feel sad, sigh, sweat, and finally lose of faith to our life. In the reality, we dealing with lots of impossible everyday. However, impossible is nothing if we could build the faith in ourselves.

From this mankind's best friend "Faith" story, at least i'd gained some proportion of my faith.



This puppy was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. He was born with 3 legs - 2 healthy hind legs and 1 abnormal front leg which need to be amputated. He of course could not walk when he was born. Even his mother did not want him.

His first owner also did not think that he can survive. Therefore, he was thinking of 'putting him to sleep'. By this time, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him.
She is determined to teach and train this dog to walk by himself. Therefore she named him 'Faith'.

Faith loves to walk around now. No matter where he goes, he just attracts all the people around him. He is now becoming famous on the international scene. He has appeared in various newspapers and TV shows. There is even one book entitled 'With a little faith' being published about him. He was even considered to appear in one of the Harry Potter movies.


In life there are always undesirable things. Perhaps we would feel better if we changed our point of view to see things from another direction.

Hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone can appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day that follows. Faith is the continual demonstration of the Strength of Life !

THe PowErful of wordS

Do you ever realize that a simple " HELLO" could be sweet and meaningful words?

尤其是當這個詞是從你心愛的人口中說出時,"你好"( HELLO )這個詞意味著:

H=How are you?
你好嗎?
E=Everything all right?
一切進展順利嗎?
L=Like to hear from you
我很高興能知道你的消息!
L=Love to see you soon!
希望能盡快見到你!
O=Obviously、I miss you ..... so, HELLO! Good day!
很明顯,我很想你…所以,你好!你好呀!
