Robert, 

That album was released almost half a year ago. The new album should be the one
containing "Hung Yut" (?). I am still waiting for that new one here in Boston.

well, william baby,
i know that you are just joking about adding ten years to a girl's age, but 
really, i think you have to subtract five from mine, becuase i get carded 
for renting an r rated movie, which means that i barely look 17.  i figured 
you wouldnt know that because you obviously never leave your computer long 
enough to go out, even if it is to rent a video.

haha just kidding

A system, however powerful, which could not be learned by the average joe,
is USELESS!! This is something they never seem to teach in school. It's the
user who drives your software. It doesn't matter if your customer is an
idiot if that's the idiot who puts the roof above your head! A good application
is one that's intuitive to use (ie. a well designed GUI). This includes
software design tools, such as debuggers.

Just like Fortran? I suppose it's likely to go much sooner than real-time
Cobol, but if a company had invested millions & millions in these systems,
and many have, they are not going to switch over soon. Frankly, there are
PDP-11s still out there, running at the local research facilities, public
services like phone services & hydro, etc.

I like Jazz.  I also write some jazz music myself.  

Ragtime piano jazz has become more and more popular since the hit movie
The Sting.  Usually Ragtime music are very lively and cheerful, but there
are some sad ones, like Solace in the Sting.  And then I really like the
Blues.  

One of my favorite jazz bands that has been around for years is the
Spyro Gyra.  I agree that although most people out of the American
culture do not quite identify with jazz, they certainly have heard of 
it here and there and they probably have liked it without knowing what it
is.   There's nothing more entralling than listening to a live jazz band
improving.   The first real good Chinese jazz I've heard was from Leslie
Cheung's album many years ago, actually written by a Chinese composer.

 Totally agree with you.  Those Jademan comics are never end.  I once read
 several of them, but end up quitting them because the story is not
 interesting anymore, and the main characters still keep on going as the story
 progress, and most of the time, they are unbeatable.  Man, they are not that
 Energizer Rabbit, they are human.  The most obverious example is Tiger Wong,
 the main character in "Dragon Tiger Door" (sorry, forget its English name).
 This guy still keep fighting after 20 odd years, and he's still 20 something.

 Yeah, and I hope Po King Wun will find his beloved at the end of the novel.

I know you are upset, but I have to say this anyway, if I were this girl,
having just read this article, you would have blow your last chance, if there

As a result of an e-mail conversation, I have been requested to post
the following data regarding foreign-currency reserves.  The totals
for various Asian countries were posted in s.c.c. recently, but the
figures for HK were missing, and there were no per-capita figures.

The following data fill those gaps.  (Disclaimer:  No comment is
implied here as to whether it is good or bad to have a large amount
of foreign-currency reserves.)

From _Asiaweek_, July 31, 1992:

  "MONEY FOR A RAINY DAY.

   On July 15, Hongkong revealed one of its deepest secrets:  
   its foreign-currency reserves amounted to fully $29.2 
   billion.  Per person, that puts the territory ahead of
   all but Singapore and still-secretive Brunei."

It then listed the world rankings in per-capita foreign-currency
reserves.  Ranks which may be of interest to these newsgroups were:

      Singapore     Rank 2 
      Hong Kong     Rank 3
      Taiwan        Rank 4
      Japan         Rank 40
      S. Korea      Rank 53

My dream car is Nissain Skyline GT-R. But too bad, it is not available in US.
I have been driving my '85 MR2 for quite a while. She's fast, she's fun, she's
reliable (no mechanical problem since I bought it, except a body-shop visit due
to a minor collision). She has very good handling, and the steering is neutral
due to the mid-engine configuration. She's not practical at all (tiny little
trunk which couldn't fit my suitcase in). Considering fun/dollar, she's really
great. :( Got a couple of speeding ticket just because of her. :(

I've something to say about this subject.

There is no right answer to say which one is wrong? 
The users or the software company?


1.  The company must increase the price to cover
    the lost for those pirated copy.

2.  Users must copy software because they can't afford it.

And there will be no stopping unless both side work together.
First, the software must lower the price of software so 
that normal people can afford it.  Second, the users must 
stop copying pirated software.
