ちょっと先になりそうです。ニュージーランドといえばOnce were warriors.

Logo Safe

You might think that a Lego safe would be easy to open. Maybe just remove a few bricks and you’re in. But that’s not the case with this thing, the cutting edge of Lego safe technology. The safe weighs 14 pounds and has a motion detecting alarm so it can’t be moved without creating a huge ruckus.

人が一度に受け取ることのできる情報量

ユーザインターフェイスとか、プレゼンのパワポ作るとき、資料作成とかに役立つかもしれません。ぱっと見て情報が盛りだくさんだと一気に読む気が失せる、みたいな。

The rule of 7 ± 2 ( also known as Miller's Number ) derives from psychology research, which shows that the number of information "chunks" that a person can remember and manipulate at one time varies between five and nine. A larger number of chunks causes information overload. Information chunks can be many things, including names, words in a list, digits, or components of a picture.
Some applications of the rule of 7 ± 2 to DFDs (data flow diagrams) include the following.

A single DFD should have no more than 7 ± 2 processes.

No more than 7 ± 2 data flows should enter or leave a process, data store, or data element on a single DFD.

These rules are general guideline, not unbreakable laws. DFDs that violate these rules may still be readable, but violations should be considered a warning of potential problems.
Minimization of interfaces is directly related to the rule of 7 ± 2. An interface is a connection to some other part of a problem or description. As with information chunks, the number of connections that a person can remember and manipulate is limited, so the number of connections should be kept to a minimum. Processes on a DFD represent chunks of business or processing logic. They are related to other processes, entities, and data stores by data flows. A single process with a large number of interfaces ( data flows ) may be too complex to understand. This complexity may show up directly on a process decomposition as a violation of the rule of 7 ± 2. An analyst can usually correct the problem by dividing the process into two or more subprocesses, each of which should have fewer interfaces.

写真がなんとなくabout a boy の文章を思い出させる件

Christine came in holding the new baby while John was in the kitchen making him a cup of tea. 'This is Imogen,' she said.
'Oh,' said Will. 'Right.' What was he supposed to say next? He knew there was something, but he couldn't for the life of him remember what it was. 'She's ...' No. It had gone. He concentrated his conversational his efforts on Christine. 'How are you, anyway, Chris?'

あと

以前GIGAZINEで一瞬にして無線LANの暗号化方式「WEP」を解読するアルゴリズムが神戸大学の森井昌克教授から発表されたことをお伝えしましたが

とあるけど、なんだか普通にBack Track 2でやられてるみたいです。

黑屏 - Windows海賊版対策＠チャイナ

微软黑屏计划将从今日开始

微软15日发布消息称，将从20日起在中国市场启动WindowsXP专业版及Office办公软件的正版验证通知计划。使用WindowsXP盗版的电脑将被强行每隔60分钟“黑屏”(桌面背景改为纯黑色，可手动改回)一次，而使用盗版Office软件的菜单栏将被添加“不是正版”的标记。

１０月２０日から中国ではWindows XP海賊版を使用している場合、毎６０分ごとに”黑屏”（デスクトップが真っ黒になる）し、またOfficeの場合はメニューに”不是正版”の表記を表示する。

95-97年くらい？

久しぶりに思い出したので。

Dijkstra, Knuth

CCNA勉強中です。
Dijkstraという人は何をした人なんだろうと思ったら参考書にその名前を見つけました。

Dijkstra's algorithm is used in SPF, Shortest Path First, which is used in the routing protocol OSPF, Open Shortest Path First.

あとKnuthという人は著作物にミスを見つけた人に$2.56をチェックで払っていますが、2008年に振り込め詐欺防止のためにチェックを送れなくなってしまった代わりに、架空の銀行 Bank of San Serriffe の口座を使って払ってるそうです（微妙にニュアンス違いますけど）。

Knuth had to stop sending such checks in 2008 due to bank fraud, and instead now gives each error finder a publicly listed balance in his fictitious "Bank of San Serriffe".

なお Guardian によるとその幻の島 San Serriffe はニュージーランド南島あたりに今浮かんでるそうです。
