简历引起的YY

老婆要找工作,我得帮忙改简历。不比得我这种差学生的简历,她的简历我主要花时间在删减上。因为一直都信奉一个规则:无论你多牛,简历都没道理超过两页(单面)。人越牛,入得法眼的成就越少,值得写进简历的就更少了。于是不由得YY一下,偶像级的牛人简历应该是什么样(当然那些人的简历不自己写,都由全世界的崇拜者在Wikipedia上写):

  • 我要是Einstein,我就只写这么一句:"They gave me a Nobel Prize for my least important findings, because they had failed to understand the other more important ones of mine."
  • 我要是Buffett,我就只写这么一句: "The price of whatever I had bought went up; the price of whatever I had sold went down.  I didn't predict nor control.  People just bought whatever I had bought, and sold whatever I had sold."

我去干活了。要接着YY的欢迎。

亲身体验中国著作权/版权问题

最近的一次Google搜索,让我发现,我之前的一篇blog“Windows Vista下管理员帐户开启UAC后本地登录失败的问题”,居然被好几家网站盗用。我随便看了两个,发现既没有注明转载,也没有给出链接。所以是盗用,不是引用。切身体会了王健硕的一篇blog中提到的问题——“在中国,用户贡献内容在没有版权保护的情况下,变成了别人贡献内容,甚至是竞争对手贡献内容模式。”

中国这些小网站估计就雇些初中生,给个关键词列表,让他们顺着列表搜文章,然后copy/paste就好了。我以后写blog还是多用英文好了,至少逼着丫们多花点钱请个大学生:-)

Windows Vista下管理员帐户开启UAC后本地登录失败的问题

被Windows Vista上这个问题困扰了两天:不知道做了什么操作,导致登录进我的帐户之后无法启动Explorer(桌面、task manager等都无法启动),一直困在一个黑(灰)色空屏幕,上面只有一个鼠标指针。重启进入Safe Mode关掉UAC之后就正常了。但发现另一个帐户即使打开UAC也能正常登登录,说明不是什么驱动程序和UAC冲突的问题。关掉UAC确实有安全隐患,而且总让我觉得不爽,于是决定弄清楚。

根据我登录失败的时间去看Event Log (eventvwr),发现一条Warning很可疑,"The Windows logon process has failed to spawn a user application. Application name: . Command line parameters: C:\Windows\system32\userinit.exe."。Google一下就找到原因和解决方法(Kudos to the author.  The linked resources in the post are worth reading as well)。原来是不知怎么的把内建的'NT AUTHORITY\INTERACTIVE'组从本地'Users'组里删掉了,所以用另一个普通用户帐户本地登录成功,而用管理员帐户(不是内建的Administrator)本地登录反而失败。把需要本地登录的管理员帐户加回在'Users'组里就好了。内在的机制讲解参见这里

被科普了

上周看柯南新一期剧场版“战栗的乐谱”。用人声远距离拨电话的那段让我眼前一亮,想着要自己验证一下。

今天发现有人已经做了这个实验(后面的不少跟贴也很有意思)。我想起来上周配置“Windows Fax and Scan“的时候会让选拨号方式——Tone或者Pulse

被科普了,所以也科普一下你 :-)
