Not all of them. I know some independent (possibly secretive) Christian churches. But those "official" ones are usually penetrated ...

I guess poetic sentences are always hard to get right, if you don't really grow up in that culture, just like I have a lot of trouble with some essays in English. Well, if you keep learning, eventually you'll get there :)

Basically that paragraph is praising Google's decision to stand against the Chinese government and pull out of China (thus "return to the mercy of the Lord"). And the author is really celebrating and congratulating here (instead of mourning

You must be kidding. They are precious properties of the government and well protected and paid.

What happens to "Mr Small Chinese Exporter" is never a concern for such a government like the Chinese one ...

Controlling will buy you some time before you can really fix problems. However I failed to see much possibility the current government will ever be able to fix those "stability" issues. The pressure and tension just accumulate until one day

I want to add some background knowledge: - ever since the ending of the Olympics in 2008, Chinese government started a series of large scale "cleaning up" operations all in the name of removing porn from the Internet (while we all know what

Seems the author never try any software/website originally written in languages other than English. Then, the English version is usually awful to use or get help ... And the issue is primarily due to the large online population and knowledg

True. And in case the sunlight is strong enough to make an OLED unreadable, you should probably not reading papers either -- that's very bad for your eyes.

Unless you want to print every web page you want to read on the go and carry them in your backpack (get a BIG one). I'd rather have a better screen than thinking about printing.

No. 300 DPI printing is not the same as 300 DPI on screen, because one dot on screen can be multiple colors (depending on the color depth, typically 16,777,216 can be expected), while one dot on paper is, well, either black or white. So for

The screen is a 3.7 inch AMOLED 480x800@250 DPI!! Awesome!! This is better than laser printing resolution!

Tried on my Unibody MacBook. Can register 6 non-modifier keys at once. I like the feel of the keys actually. Not sure what mechanism it's using, but definitely much better than all other notebooks. Also found a 1991 UK-made IBM Model M. The

I have a public www folder too if I only want to open up part of the whole repo. But since there is usually no sensitive data in a public-facing repo anyway, I don't care if people can access .git or not. They may clone it if they want! :D

Emm, I think most English nouns are made plural by adding -s/-es", so I can at least try the regular approach if I'm not sure. German nouns have a lot different forms for plural :|

Not the original commenter, but here is my take on it on Snow Leopard: I use QuickTime X a lot for its h.264 hardware acceleration. As of now, that's the only option you have if you want to play 1080p on Mac. Coupled with Perian, I think it

I just need a better replacement for the default python shell. iPython has those nice extras, but I rarely use them ... so bpython is a much better choice for me now :)
