Hello!! It's Joseph

D-link has a very low-priced NAS D-link DNS-321, and some german has made some access into it, and you can have more control of the firmware. here's the link

作为一个事情的组织者，作为一个领导，无论领导的职务大小，只要你对一个事情负责，要全盘去处理这个事情，你光有能力是不够的，还必须要有一定的魄力！要处理好能力与魄力的关系，摆正两者的位置，用能力的提高促魄力的增强。 魄力是指处置事情所具有的胆识和果断的作风。简单的讲，敢于想，敢于做，勇于负责。对领导者来说，魄力是一种必不可少的素质。优柔寡断容易错失机遇，遇事不决常会降低效率，谨小慎微导致裹足不前。有些领导干部就是因为魄力不够，结果能力得不到发挥，工作打不开局面，单位形不成合力。 《三国》里面有曹操考验两个儿子的事，说曹操为了考验曹丕和曹植谁更能干，就故意让他们出辕门，又让守门士兵不放过去，后来杨修给曹植出了个主意，就让曹植说：“我奉丞相之命，有阻拦者斩”。“魄力”就是一个人处理和对待问题时，能发挥主观能动性，忽略不重要细节对整体的影响而做出正确的决定或选择，关键是他能够显示自我才干，自我思维，自我特点。从不拖泥带水也是魄力的一个重要表现，从容，干练，有一定的鼓动性或者说是带动性。是一种人格魅力。 现在各行各业都提倡变革,都在发生着一些或多或少、或大或小的变革，进行这些变革中不免有人畏缩不前，有人大胆尝试。显然前者不在讨论之列，关键是我们以什么来区分有胆识和鲁莽，区分果敢和草率的差别。我们可以找出它们之间的许多差别，但是不管什么差异最根本的一点我的理解应该是胆识和果断是与理性的判断为前提的，心血来潮，不计后果等等的做法是不能称其为有魄力。 但是，任何魄力都必须以能力为前提。能力是魄力之基。没有能力作内核，魄力就会表现为有胆无识、鲁莽行事，武断而不是果断；没有能力作翅膀，魄力就只能在地面跛行，根本无法飞上蓝天；没有能力作骨骼，魄力就是一尊泥塑，经不起狂风暴雨和时间的冲刷。其实，魄力是把“双刃剑”，必有能力作剑柄，这“剑”才能为我们披荆斩棘，开辟道路；否则，就可能伤着自己，危害他人，影响工作。 在实际工作中，个别领导误把魄力当能力，并用魄力证明能力，认为魄力越大能力就越大。有的不遵循单位发展的客观规律，不顾现实条件和需要，盲目出“新思路”，搞“大手笔”；有的不善调查研究，不会分析论证，情况不明决心大，心中无数乱拍板。一味显示魄力的结果往往是，“思路”成了“死路”，“大手笔”变成“大败笔”。这种喜欢在显示魄力上动心思、不愿在提高能力上下功夫的做法，既是行动上

get to know your Android hardware info interesting view on ShanZhaiJi android market

Android is an operationg system developed by Google, and based on linux kernel. It sees phenonmenal growth since 2009, firstly from mobile phones, then to tablets. The growth pattern is also very similar to linux. Linux, is now 20 years old, and is still growing / evolving rapidly. It's very grass-root style movement, based on GPL open source concepts. There's lots of info on the internet, free apps on Google Market. Yet many says that the tablet market is dominated by iPad from Apple, but it's still similar scenario as "Linux vs Microsoft". Linux did not try to compete with Microsoft, and shows no interest on it. Similar belief is in Android. They promote a FOSS ( Free open-sourced softwares ) ecosystem, that let everyone to participate / modify your device. It's same concept that "If you cannot open it, you do not own it" Android may not become the winner in tablet market / mobile phone market, but it won't die. I went to 桑達

Cambridge University’s Cavendish Labs and I’m joined by Professor Henning Sirringhaus, who is a founder and chief scientists for a company called Plastic Logic Plastic Logic is a little start-up company in Cambridge that make plastic electronics. So if you imagine your plastic bag that you use to do your shopping that’s a very uninteresting thing. It doesn’t do much. But you can make electronic devices such as transistors, light emitting diodes, solar cells using these plastic materials in the same way that you would use silicon for conventional electronics. Plastic Logic is a company that’s exploiting this materials research for displays. The core of the technology is to make plastic transistors using a plastic semiconductor. So what you need for a flexible display are lots of transistors on a flexible substrate. Plastic Logic uses PET, which is the material from which coke bottle are made as a substrate. It then deposits an array of transistors onto that substrate. It can be

CERN claims neutrinos went faster than the cosmic speed barrier of 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second) A neutrino beam fired from a particle accelerator near Geneva to a lab 454 miles away in Italy traveled 60 nanoseconds faster than the speed of light Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2040735/So-did-Einstein-wrong-Scientists-clock-particles-travelling-faster-speed-light.html#ixzz1Yjq4R7ii “The feeling that most people have is this can’t be right, this can’t be real,” said James Gillies, a spokesman for the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, outside the Swiss city of Geneva. Mr. Gillies told The Associated Press that the readings have so astounded researchers that they are asking others to independently verify the measurements before claiming an actual discovery. “They are inviting the broader physics community to look at what they’ve done and really scrutinize it in great detail, and ideally for someone elsewher

Spec : AMOLED 1024 x 768 XGA 100% frame coverage ( should be ) frame rate: 12 fps max review shows that Cons: Sony's new OLED technology does a dramatically better job with highlights than most any EVF approach we've seen in the past, but we found that the tonal problem has now moved to the shadows: In scenes with a wide tonal range, it can be tough to see any detail in shadow areas without momentarily re-framing to get the viewfinder to gain-up a little. Even with the brightness adjustment set to maximum, when I brought the viewfinder to my eye while shooting under bright sunlight, the EVF display was significantly less bright than the surroundings. While great progress has been made, even the A77's OLED display doesn't come close to providing the dynamic range of a purely optical system. Likewise, update lag during continuous shooting is still at least somewhat an issue. Pros: One very useful improvement over optical viewfinders comes at the opposite

If you are 200% sure the tried, proven, and working by others besides you. You may forget to refresh you Arduino Development Environment. case 1: in your sketch code: #include "?????.h" rather than #include should be used case 2: you have started your Arduino Development Env. Later, you added a new library folder under your Arduino directory you then test the sketch codes, and found "error in ???.h" >> You must close the Arduino and add the library first, and re-start Arduino to take effect

Congratulations to Alejandro who put in a stunning performance to fend off stiff competition from 5 other top baristas to be crowned World Barista Champion of 2011 Watch online here Alejandro partnered with Steve Leighton of Has Bean coffee roasters to produce the award winning roast of Ernesto Menendez's Finca La Illusion - grown on the slopes of the Sanata Ana volcano in El Salvador Here's Steve's tasting notes from his website http://www.hasbean.co.uk/pages/El-Sa...-Number-1.html The other finalists who represented their countries and did themselves proud are; 2. Pete Licata - USA 3. Matt Perger - Australia 4. Javier Garcia - Spain 5. Miki Suzuki - Japan (#1 female barista) 6. John Gordon - UK The trend is that people/judge are stressing more and more the front process of coffee - The farming, harvesting and processing.
