Hearing: Norah Jones, The Nearness of You, and the tappity tap of small-scale furniture being re-positioned in it's wooden doll house Smelling: rosemary bread in the oven Touching: chopping freshly rinsed basil for pesto penne alfredo Seeing: a yellow no. two pencil with a fat nub eraser scratching out spelling words on double-ruled paper Tasting: iced ceylon tea
1. Buy coffee for the guy standing behind you at the coffee shop. 2. Open the door for someone before entering yourself. It doesn't matter if you're a girl and he's a boy, or you're a boy and she's a girl, or you're both boys, or you're both girls. You can do it. 3. Send a quick email to someone you haven't heard from in a while. It can just say, "Hey, I was thinking about you. I hope you're well." Trust me, it will make her day. 4. Send a small, handwritten note -- via regular mail! -- to someone far away. It can just say, "Hey, I was thinking about you. I hope you're well." Trust me, it will make his day. 5. Give someone flowers, just because. They don't have to be expensive. The blossom above was part of a grocery-store bouquet that cost $3.99. The recipient really isn't going to care that it wasn't expensive. I promise. 6. Invite someone to your home. Have something baking in the oven for them when they arrive. 7. Light a candle and think of someone who is going through a rough time. Silently offer them good thoughts/prayers. 8. Pick a charity. Give something. 9. Buy a magazine subscription for a friend out of the blue. 10. Give blood. 11. Prepare someone's tea. In my opinion, it's a wonderful act of love to not just put the hot water and a teabag in front of a friend, but actually prepare and steep the tea for them. 12. Tell a child -- or someone who is struggling with self-esteem -- how great you think they are. And mean it. 13. The next person who serves you a meal at a restaurant, or helps you in a store, or sells you your morning newspaper, look him in the eyes, smile, and say "thank you" with as much sincerity as you can muster. 14. Give someone a heartfelt hug. Just because. 15. Start a hopeful revolution: leave a hope note somewhere. Extra points if you leave it on the windshield of a stranger's car. 16. Offer to cook a meal for someone. 17. Offer to give someone a break -- babysit, hire a maid service for them, or even straighten her house yourself. 18. Clean out your closet. Give the gently-used clothing you no longer want to a shelter. 19. Take a photograph of something beautiful. Send it to someone, with the note: "This reminded me of you." 20. Give someone something of yours -- a book, perhaps, or a small trinket -- with no expectation of return. 21. Blow out a candle. Make a wish on someone else's behalf as you do it. 22. Make a short list of the things you love about someone you love. Leave the list where they can find it. 23. Make a date to have coffee or a glass of wine with an old friend. 24. Say "I love you." Mean it.
Le moteur de recherche Google est une réussite universelle et il rend bien des services. Mais lui confier, et à lui seul, qui vit du profit de la publicité et est enraciné, en dépit de l’universalité de son propos, dans la culture américaine, la responsabilité du choix des livres, la maîtrise planétaire de leur forme numérisée, et la quasi-exclusivité de leur indexation sur la Toile, le tout étant au service, direct ou indirect, de ses seuls gains d’entreprise, voilà bien qui n’était pas supportable.

une règle des bibliographies françaises sur l’écologie : elle ne compte aucun représentant, direct ou indirect, de l’écologie philosophique, de l’éthique environne-mentale, ou de la « deep ecology ». Ni le Norvégien Arne Naess (né en 1912), ni les Américains John Baird Callicott (né en 1941), Aldo Leopold (1887-1948), Edward Abbey (1927-1989), Edward O. Wilson (né en 1929), ni le Britannique James Love-lock (né en 1919) n’y figure. Pourquoi ? Parce qu’ils ne sont pour ainsi dire pas traduits en français. Pourquoi ne sont-ils pas traduits en français ? Parce que l’écologie philosophique a chez nous la réputation d’être une pensée « controversée ».

And as for “free”, I think we’re going to have a few rounds of root beers over whether a place, like Google, that browses through your e-mail via robots and uses it to generate statistically relevant advertisements on your page, or places like Flickr that do in fact have advertisements for seeing your content and charge you on top of that for additional features, or places like Ustream that have profit-sharing and used to do indirect advertisement but now overlay ads on your content, are “free”. Some people confuse “no money down” with free and that’s why they’re getting fucking kicked out of their houses, finding themselves at the mercy and procedures of actual eviction law.
Peu de choses sont réellement gratuites, et même quand elles semblent l'être, votre propriété est en réalité très limitée.
After months of work behind the scenes, vague promises up front, and half-assed hacks, today we are very excited to take the wraps off exciting new stuff for Lifehacker commenters. In order to make having conversations with your fellow readers here easier, we've just rolled out a major revamp to our site commenting system. Fresh out of the oven, our all-new "threaded comments" system organizes comment replies more logically and makes discussing the post at hand—and other users' reactions to it—easier to do and digest. Hit up any post with comments to start tinkering with the new system yourself, or read on to get the full rundown of what's changed and why.

One could argue that the Web will become more immersive, more visual, more haptic, more identity-driven through avatar technology. Is it likely? I don’t know. Is it possible? You bet.
Now here’s the thing, and this is what I’ve been thinking about. I’m seeing the Internet as we now know it being split into multiple streams. One will be increasingly text-based, one will be highly immersive, one will be transactional, etc.

A customizable dashboard, multi-file upload, built-in galleries, one-click plugin upgrades, tag management, built-in Gravatars, full text feeds, and faster load times sound interesting? Then WordPress 2.5 might be the release for you. It’s been in the oven for a while, and we’re finally ready to open the doors a bit to give you a taste.
Croatian creative agency Bruketa & Zinić have designed an annual report for food company Podravka that has to be baked in an oven before it can be read.
L'intérêt principal d'utiliser un bon séparateur n'est pas direct mais indirect : avec un bon séparateur, tous ceux qui font un lien en utilisant votre URL comme texte cliquable (anchor text) vous offrent des bons liens puisqu'ils contiennent vos mots-clés. Dans le cas contraire ces liens vous aident beaucoup moins pour votre référencement : ils vous apportent seulement du PageRank et éventuellement un peu de TrustRank ;-)

Portrait au flash au détour d'une rue de paris, le flash indirect donne un aspect étrange assez irréel.
Aiglx（Accelerated Indirect GL X）是一个旨在为标准桌面启用GL加速功能的项目，目的在于通过小幅度修改X server、使用添加新协议支持的Mesa升级版和带有混合管理器版本的metacity，让用户稍作改动即可在桌面上使用GL效果，随意开启、关闭该功能而无需替代使用中的X server。
因為我們利用 Xnest 這隻程式來使第二個 X srever 可以跑在第一個 X server :0 裡面 所以要 run Xnest， 記的從 Xnest :1，Xnest :2 ... 開始。 以下是幾個常用到的指令語法範例 : Xnest -query IP_ADDRESS_OF_UNIX_HOST :1 Xnest -indirect IP_ADDRESS_OF_UNIX_HOST :2
