一年前,麦克唐纳在Craigslist网站的“物物交换区”发布信息,希望用一枚红色别针换“更大更好”的东西,并宣布终极目标是一栋房子。通过互联网,麦克唐纳首先换到了一支鱼形笔,然后又用笔换来一个陶瓷门把手,接下来的交换品更是五花八门,包括一个野营用的炉子、一台发电机、一只装啤酒的桶、一个“百威”啤酒广告牌。此后,麦克唐纳的收获越来越大,先后是一辆雪地车、一趟加拿大落基山脉之旅、一辆老货车和一份唱片合约。到今年4月,麦克唐纳几经易物换到了美国菲尼克斯城一套公寓的一年免费居住权。但这还未达到他的目标。

麦克唐纳此后用公寓的免费居住权换成了与摇滚歌星艾丽斯•库珀共度下午时光,并再用这一下午时光换了个以KISS乐队为模型的雪花水晶球。

因为好莱坞知名导演科尔宾•伯恩森喜欢收集雪花水晶球,麦克唐纳因此换来了伯恩森新片中的一个角色。麦克唐纳的传奇经历此后又引起了加拿大萨斯喀彻温省吉普灵镇人的注意。该镇政府在梅恩街买下一栋面积为99平方米的新房,向麦克唐纳发出交换请求。尽管罗奇没有公布房屋的售价,但这所房子的市场价大约为5万加元(约合4.5万美元)。

对吉普灵小镇而言,这笔交易换来的不仅仅是一个电影角色。小镇政府还计划在高速公路服务站里立一个巨型红色曲别针,并在9月举行电影演员的海选活动,由胜出者出演伯恩森执导的新片。不过,条件是参赛选手必须向镇上的公共服务部门或慈善机构捐款。

麦克唐纳上星期点头同意这笔交易。至此,他那长达一年的换货经历终于圆满落幕。

JSON on the new Blogger


From Michael Bolin's post on the GData APIs blog:

For those of you who have been trying to build client-side GData mashups but have been thwarted by the same-origin policy, we have some good news for you: you can now get public Base, Blogger, and Calendar feeds as JSON! This means that you can start displaying GData in your web page with a little JavaScript.
This means you can take any feed from the new version of Blogger, add alt=json-in-script and callback query parameters, and get a JSON representation of the feed that you can manipulate with JavaScript on any web page.

If you hack up something cool, post about it on the discussion group or link to this post so we'll see it in the backlinks. Extra points if you share it as a widget with our new Add to Blogger API.

BlueScreen Screen Saver v3.2


http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Miscellaneous/BlueScreen.mspx

Introduction

One of the most feared colors in the NT world is blue. The infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) will pop up on an NT system whenever something has gone terribly wrong. Bluescreen is a screen saver that not only authentically mimics a BSOD, but will simulate startup screens seen during a system boot.

On NT 4.0 installations it simulates chkdsk of disk drives with errors!

On Win2K and Windows 9x it presents the Win2K startup splash screen, complete with rotating progress band and progress control updates!

On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 it present the XP/Server 2003 startup splash screen with progress bar!

Bluescreen cycles between different Blue Screens and simulated boots every 15 seconds or so. Virtually all the information shown on Bluescreen's BSOD and system start screen is obtained from your system configuration - its accuracy will fool even advanced NT developers. For example, the NT build number, processor revision, loaded drivers and addresses, disk drive characteristics, and memory size are all taken from the system Bluescreen is running on.

Use Bluescreen to amaze your friends and scare your enemies!

Bluescreen runs on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 9x (it requires DirectX).

Installation and Use

Note: before you can run Bluescreen on Windows 9x, you must copy \winnt\system32\ntoskrnl.exe from a Windows 2000 system to your \Windows directory.Simply copy Sysinternals BLUESCRN.SCR to your \system32 directory if on Windows NT/2K, or \Windows\System directory if on Windows 9x. Right click on the desktop to bring up the Display settings dialog and then select the "Screen Saver" tab. Use the pull down list to find "Sysinternals Bluescreen" and apply it as your new screen saver. Select the "Settings" button to enable fake disk activity, which adds an extra touch of realism!

More Information

You can find out how real Blue Screen's are generated, and what the information on the Blue Screen means in my December 1997 Windows NT Magazine NT Internal's column, "Inside the Blue Screen".

Google’s 56 forgotten (secret) pages Part_2


I was writing Google's Secrets part 1. Time to show everybody, other Google things that most of us don't see/get.

Again, some of these pages are indeed still public, but either have not been seen by many people, have been missed or are just very hard to find. The rest are just NOT public anymore and can be found either by searching the search engines for keywords, or by consulting the sitemap.xml and the robots.txt files:

  1. Holiday Certificate: Enjoy the gift of Google ( local mirror).
  2. Enable Cookies help page.
  3. Google and Dilbert Doodle created by cartoonist Scott Adams for Google's Holiday Logos.
  4. About Dennis Hwang (Hwang Jung-moak) - the designer of almost all of Google's doodles. He's a 28 years old Korean artist.
  5. Google Grants returns the 404. I guess Google's tired to give money for free, or someone made a bubu. Also look at these Google Grants PDF documents from 2004 : Account Basics ( local mirror), Keywords (local mirror), Ads (local mirror), Extra Help ( local mirror).
  6. Why we sell advertising, not search results.
  7. Google Fan Logos - great collection of Google logos, made by fans all around the world. I don't think this page is public.
  8. Google's code of conduct - Our informal corporate motto is "Don't be evil".
  9. Google's financial data where we learn that they actually made a dedicated row for "Settlement of dispute with Yahoo" for the 2004 Google - Yahoo dispute. Funny thing is that the WSJ reports a figure of $328 million and Google reports a figure of $201 million (which represented about 6% of all of Google's 2004 income).
  10. Google Press Blog -YES, very few knew about it, I know. It even has a feed, so you can be up to date. None of the regular Google Blogs link to it anyway.
  11. Google Milestones - A history of Google's achievements.
  12. Trademark Complaint Procedures - If you have concerns about the use of your trademark in their advertiser's ads or in a parked domain name.
  13. Some older pages on a Google Tour and Building a better query
  14. The 2004 version of Google Labs: Why should you work at Google versus the 2006 (current) one.
  15. Explanation - Google's explanation of their very disturbing search results when searching for "Jew" (2004).
  16. Google Store, Americas and Worldwide - Buy stuff branded with Google, like a Google beach towel or a White Google Polo Shirt for your wife. And yes, the Google stores are developed using Microsoft Technology (ASP).
  17. Google Gulp - They are pleased to announce Google Gulp (BETA)™ with Auto-Drink™ (LIMITED RELEASE), a line of "smart drinks" designed to maximize your surfing efficiency by making you more intelligent, and less thirsty.
  18. 2000 Google Easter Animation - Catch the eggs in order to spell "Google" (if you complete the game twice, there's a suprise). Very funny and UGLY :)
  19. Some 100 Euro Adwords coupon for Google.de - Wrote in german.
  20. 10 Tips for Enterprise Search - A best practices tip sheet (local mirror).
  21. 10 things about Google's Philosophy .
  22. Google's fight spyware information page - In the footer, they recommend some anti-spyware programs.
  23. Google Alert #1: June 26, 2000, Google Launches World's Largest Search Engine (is that right ? ;) )
  24. 20 Year Usenet Timeline - "Google has fully integrated the past 20 years of Usenet archives into Google Groups, which now offers access to more than 800 million messages dating back to 1981. This is by far the most complete collection of Usenet articles ever assembled and a fascinating first-hand historical account."
  25. How to create a successful Google Grants campaign.
  26. Bouncing Heart Applet - See the 2000 and 2001 credits.
  27. Google Cheatsheet . FYI, did you knew that "~auto loan" will allow auto to match car, truck, etc ?. Here's an extended Cheat Sheet from GoogleGuide and another PDF Cheat Sheet for print.
  28. Google Jobs Internship Opportunities - They're looking for students pursuing degrees in computer science (or closely related areas), who love to problem-solve, code, and design.
  29. Google Jobs: Top 10 Reasons to Work at Google. I especially like #7 :

    7. Good company everywhere you look. Googlers range from former neurosurgeons, CEOs, and U.S. puzzle champions to alligator wrestlers and former-Marines. No matter what their backgrounds Googlers make for interesting cube mates.

    I mean, who the heck at Google is an alligator wrestler ?

  30. Video: An Inside Look at Google.
  31. Some funked up Google Logo, live on Google's servers, from (insert unknown year and ocasion here):

    Unknown Google Logo

  32. 2001 Google Search Guide PDFs - Front (local mirror ) and back (local mirror). From the content:

    DIRECTORIES VS. SEARCH ENGINES
    If you have a general idea of the subject in which you're interested, but are not sure exactly what you're looking for, a directory is a great place to start. Directories like Yahoo! use human editors to organize information in broad categories, such as finance, sports, or travel. Think of them as giant card catalogs.

  33. 10 Google fun facts:

    Googlers are multifaceted. One operations manager, who keeps the Google network in good health is a former neurosurgeon. One software engineer is a former rocket scientist. And the company's chef formerly prepared meals for members of The Grateful Dead and funkmeister George Clinton.

  34. Google Timelines from 2001 (mentioned in the previous article too) and from 2002.
  35. Google Zeitgeist Special Edition - Election 2004 - A bit of insight into people's 2004 campaign interests.
  36. Hi resolution TIF images (zip archived) with Google Executives like Larry Page, Sergey Brin , Larry AND Sergey, Eric Schmidt, Cindy Mccaffrey, Craig Silverstein, David Drummund, George Reyes, Jonathan Rosenberg, Omid Kordestani and others. Here is the full list of zip archives:

  39. Google Content-Targeted Advertising - The ancestor of Adsense. From the page:

    How do you get started?

    It's easy. If you're a web publisher who sells advertising inventory, and your site receives more than 20 million page views a month, you may be a great fit for Google's content-targeted ads.

    20 Million ? Really ? :)

  40. Premium Service for AdSense PDF (local mirror ) - A 2003 PDF presentation of the Google Adsense Premium service. See the HTML version.
  41. A 2004 Adsense Tax PDF (local mirror). Look, we have a fax and a telephone number in the header :)
  42. Google AdSense Charity Ad Formats proposals and feedback requests. Amongst the questions asked by Google in this particular feedback page:

    1. What is your overall feedback about the proposed changes?
    2. The Public Service Announcements are no longer Google branded. What is your feedback about this specific change?

  43. The results was this page. They were named PSA too (from charity ads).
  44. Google AdSense Charity ad formats example (when there were only 6 formats available). Funny thing (if you look in the source code) about these "charity" ads, is the PUB ID and the fact that all those ID's are live :

    http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/adclick?sa=l& ai=A0tJUlyc8_UJ8KIrzt8u3QG8AK_NVUnqLRIABAEAAFm-AEQwYh1ycsF2coR2b0 91NygDe5ADAseYVAAAA3IDO4lDMfF2cAIA&num=4&adurl= http://www.unitedway.org/%3Fas_grant&client=ca-slashdot_728×90

    So SlashDot used Adsense in the past ? Or was it a charity website ? :)

  45. A certain Frankfurt Print Tour by Thomson Course Technology.
  46. A cool 2004 Adsense Tour.

Wikipedia Hijacked to Spread Malware


Computer users are being warned against opening unsolicited mails after hackers took advantage of the popular Wikipedia encyclopedia in their attempt to spread malicious code.

Wikipedia allows anyone to create and modify articles, a policy of openness which has often been abused by mischief-makers in the past. Taking advantage of this fact, an article on the German edition of Wikipedia, de.wikipedia.org, was created by hackers claiming to include a link to a fix for a supposedly new version of the Blaster worm. However, the 'fix' was actually a piece of malicious code, designed to infect visitors' PCs.

Hackers then spammed out an email to German computer users, claiming to come from Wikipedia, and directing them to information about the 'new worm'.

"The good news is that the authorities at Wikipedia quickly identitifed and edited the article on their site," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos. "Unfortunately, however, the previous version of the page was still present in the archive and was continuing to point to malicious code. The hackers were thus able to send out spam pointing people to the page on Wikipedia, and try and lead them into infection."

Wikipedia has now confirmed that it has permanently erased the archived version of the page.

"The very openness of websites like Wikipedia—which allow anyone to edit pages—makes them terrific, but can also make them less trustworthy. In this case, it wasn't just that the information posted in Wikipedia's articles was misleading, it was downright malicious," continued Cluley. "Everyone should exercise caution and ensure they have appropriate defenses in place to protect their computer systems. Additionally, people should remember that if there really is a new threat on the internet, you're likely to hear about it first from the security companies, not an online encyclopedia."

标记主题 - Web 网页安全色谱


Web 网页安全色谱

非常重要的安全提示

《北京 7台》的节目披露:

  1、手机通讯录的秘密

  有一妇女手提包被偷,里面有手机、银行卡、钱包等。 20分钟后,当她打电话告诉老公被偷的事,老公惊呼:啊,我刚才收到你的短信问咱家卡的密码,我立马就回了! 赶到银行时已被告知里面所有的钱都已被提走。

   小偷通过用偷来的手机发送短信给 "亲爱的老公" 而获取了密码,然后在短短20分钟内把钱取走了。

  教训:不要在手机通讯录暴露本人与联系人的关系,忌用 "家" 、" 老公"、 "爸" 、" 妈"等定义联系人。  

  2、一个您不能不知道的 ,112专线

  日前有三位护士不慎连人带车跌落一百五十公尺深的山谷,于受困四日三夜后始获救。其间,她们曾尝试以手机向外求救;无奈一支摔坏,一支无电,一支收讯不良。

  她们亦曾移动位置以寻找较佳的收讯处,但都未能成功。如果这三位护士平常就知道112专线,紧急时刻也能记得以那支即使收讯不良的手机拨出112专线,相信她们应可很快地获救。

  全国各地通用的112专线,在手机打开后即使没有接收讯号,甚至电力极为微弱,任何厂牌的手机在任何地点皆可拨通。 拨出112后,马上会进入语音说明如下∶这里是行动电话112紧急救难专线,如果您要报案,请拨0,我们将会为您转接pol.ice局;如果您需要救助, 请拨9,我们将会为您转接消防局。中文讲完后,会以英文重述一遍。此时只要拨0或9,一定会有人接听。以三位护士所处的情况,或登山迷途与山难时,应拨 9,将可获得即时的救助。

  为测试此项功能,本人曾数次至偏远深山等收讯不良处实地测试,结果是百试皆灵。希望全国每个人都能知到112这项手 机功能,也希望每个人能尽量与大家分享,周遭如有外国朋友也应告知他们。并且每个人应实地至荒郊野外测试三次以上,以增加印象与记忆力。我相信如果这三位 护士于发生灾难当时知道这项功能,应可不至于受困三夜始被救出。  

  3、不要直接用碗面、杯面所附的容器

  请大家注意身体, 爱吃方便面的一定要看 , 不要直接用碗面、杯面所附的容器食用。

  文章所说的是写这封信的这个人的同事的侄子在英国念书大约一年半,而这位侄子呢,他喜欢吃杯面的速食面。结果猜怎么着?这位侄子的医生发现他的胃壁附着一层蜡!因为,杯面的容器里包含一种可食用的蜡!

  各位下次吃杯面的时候摸摸看杯壁是不是觉得滑滑的,那就是了,而长时间的食用杯面后造成我们的肝脏无法分解这种毒,最后这位侄子也就在寻求手术治疗移除这层蜡时死了。

  所以各位以后吃泡面的时候,尽量把面拿出来,另外用自己的碗来泡,不要直接用碗面、杯面所附的容器食用。

  为了自己的身体,不要偷懒啊!知道吗 ??  

  4、非常重要!在烤肉,或任何有可能接触到火源的地方,请将你的隐形眼镜拿掉!

  我《紧缺人才》的同学听过一件很可怕的事……事情发生在有一天,一个 21岁男生戴着隐形眼镜去叁加一个烤肉聚会!就在他开始以木炭生火之後的几分钟内,他突然大叫,然後很痛苦的跳来跳去,在地上打滚 ……全场的人都吓呆了,没人知道究竟发生了什麽事?大家赶紧送他到医院,医生说,他永远都看不见了!

  原因是:隐形眼镜是用塑胶制成的,而就在他生火的同时,过热的温度熔化了他的隐形眼镜!

  所以,请告诉你身边的朋友:烤肉及接触火源时,请不要戴着隐形眼镜!!

Download pictures from Yahoo or 163

从yahoo或者163下载照片

1:打开http://163.zpoo.com/ 输入你要下载的用户名 就会拉出相册里面的文件夹列表;
点要下的文件夹进去,如果要密码的,就多输一次密码,这时就可以看到文件夹里面所有图片的真实地址

2:在网页靠中下的地方,有一个长条的按钮,写着"保存此列表为原文件名lst文件",按一下,然后把接下来要下载的文件保存在桌面等等你觉得方便的地方,不用改什么名的,反正这个文件等会儿用过后就可以删除了

3:然后打开网际快车或者其他下载工具 ,在"文件"菜单下选择"导入下载列表",然后选择开打你刚刚保存下来的那个文件,这时网际快车或都迅雷就会跳出熟悉的批量下载对话框,然后选择下载文件夹开始下载

另外此网站还提供YAHOO相册批量下载 地址是http://yahoo.zpoo.com 操作方法和上面类似。

作为电子商务领头羊的 eBay 公司,数据量究竟有多大? 很多朋友可能都会对这个很感兴趣。在这一篇
Web 2.0: How High-Volume eBay Manages Its Storage(从+1 GB/1 min得到的线索)报道中,eBay 的存储主管 Paul Strong 对数据量做了一些介绍,管中窥豹,这些数据也给我们一个参考。

站点处理能力

  • 平均每天的 PV 超过 10 亿 ;
  • 每秒钟交易大约 1700 美元的商品 ;
  • 每分钟卖出一辆车A ;
  • 每秒钟卖出一件汽车饰品或者配件 ;
  • 每两分钟卖出一件钻石首饰 ;
  • 6 亿商品,2 亿多注册用户; 超过 130 万人把在 eBay 上做生意看作是生活的一部分。

在这样高的压力下,可靠性达到了 99.94%,也就是说每年 5 个小时多一点的服务不可用。从业界消息来看,核心业务的可用性要比这个高。

数据存储工程组控制着 eBay 的 2PB (1Petabyte=1000TeraBytes) 可用空间。这是一个什么概念,对比一下Google 的存储就知道了。每周就要分配 10T 数据出去,稍微算一下,一分钟大约使用 1G 的数据空间。

计算能力

eBay 使用一套传统的网格计算系统。该系统的一些特征数据:
  • 170 台 Win2000/Win2003 服务器;
  • 170 台 Linux (RHES3) 服务器;
  • 三个 Solaris 服务器: 为 QA 构建与部署 eBay.com; 编译优化 Java / C++ 以及其他 Web 元素 ;
  • Build 整个站点的时间:过去是 10 个小时,现在是 30 分钟;
  • 在过去的2年半, 有 200 万次 Build,很可怕的数字。

存储硬件

每个供货商都必须通过严格的测试才有被选中的可能,这些厂家或产品如下:
  • 交换机: Brocade
  • 网管软件:IBM Tivoli
  • NAS: Netapp(占总数据量的 5%,2P*0.05, 大约 100 T)
  • 阵列存储:HDS (95%,这一份投资可不小,HDS 不便宜, EMC 在 eBay 是出局者)负载均衡与 Failover: Resonate ;


搜索功能: Thunderstone indexing system ;
数据库软件:Oracle 。大多数 DB 都有 4 份拷贝。数据库使用的服务器 Sun E10000。另外据我所知, eBay 购买了 Quest SharePlex 全球 Licence 用于数据复制.

应用服务器

应用服务器有哪些特点呢?
  • 使用单一的两层架构(这一点有点疑问,看来是自己写的应用服务器)
  • 330 万行的 C++ ISAPI DLL (二进制文件有 150M)
  • 数百名工程师进行开发
  • 每个类的方法已经接近编译器的限制

其他信息

  • 集中化存储应用程序日志;
  • 全局计费:实时的与第三方应用集成(就是eBay 自己的 PayPal 吧?)
  • 业务事件流:使用统一的高效可靠消息队列. 并且使用 Cookie-cutter 模式用于优化用户体验(这似乎是大型电子商务站点普遍使用的用于提高用户体验的手法)。

后记

零散作了一点流水帐。作为一个 DBA, 或许有一天也有机会面对这样的数据量。到那一天,再回头看这一篇电子垃圾。
