Comment Still trust CHINA? (Score 1) 84

I wonder if anyone still trust CHINA. Lots of evidence shows CHINA government have the worse reputation in every category, protectionism is one of the small obstacle ahead, real businessmen will know CHINA government can interpret the law according to their direction, you're loser no matter how strong you're (e.g. Apple, New Balance). Apple losing the court case in China, being accused "copy" a China firm's mobile phone, it's so absurd and really tell you how ridiculous the China law.

Comment Freedom of speech on Internet (Score 2) 274

The Chinese government know nothing about freedom of speech, all of it's statement is for it's own benefit. As a Chinese live in Hong Kong, we're trying hard to achieve freedom of speech but we're already under heavy attack of all the pro-Beijing propaganda. Yet they want to stretch their hands to western world, Trying to discuss or reply to it proof futile, just ignore the annoying Chinese government.

When you know the future is dark and hopeless, and working only let you get weaker day by day, and you can't do a thing, complain is useless, no one can or will help you since the "white terror" in China. Suicide for a large sum of money is a plan, there is no "long-term business" since everything is moving fast in China, including corruption or bureaucracy, people in western world is very hard to imagine, that's why you still talk about "long-term".

If ALL the American united and do something, US still have a hope, China can only wait for the regime's fall, all the good people inside the party was wiped out. In US, at least every 4 years people can have a vote (I do understand lot of operations behind the scene), it's all about people, I like the Lincoln's speech: of the people, by the people, for the people. And last, want to tell you and others a plain and cruel truth: westerners are very "well treated" in China, those America born Chinese will tell you a total different story after they spend some time in China, Chinese are 3rd class citizen in China, of course 1st is the so-call leaders and westerners (or Japanese) the 2nd. Glad to chat with you, hope you have a bright future in US.

I do have a friend live Fresno, I can understand how US media and work smoothly with the large corps or "powerful guys". US is not much better than China, but if you know how the court in China rules, and how bad the prisoner treated in prison, you may wish to enjoy the "lesser evil" in US. At least you have a limited "speech of freedom" in US, some TV shows such as 60 mins+ still expose some absurd behavior, but in China the government did strongly suppress people try to review these kind of truth, more than 50% food and cheap products did contain harmful substance hurting people all over the world, of course Chinese themselves, and the government just agree and help to do so, those missed paying to their Boss or failed in power struggle will be shoot, no one can keep themselves free from misbehavior. The politicians did steal money from US, but the China officials simply kills, I wish you can understand US is a frying pan but China is pure fire. Not much we can do, but in Hong Kong we're fighting for unofficial referendum, and the last hope of US is you can cast your vote, it's still better than pick up guns to fight.

As a Chinese myself, what I can tell all the people in western countries, this is the TRUTH of China. People struggle for life, even work in a low wages, bad working conditions (not this case, Microsoft won't allow the Mice got dirt). If you know nothing about China, this is just a glimpse of the "worse capitalize communist" in the world. Human right is nothing, laws can be interpreted according to the government. Except Hong Kong and Macau Special Administration Zone have different kind of law. The only worry is I'm too honest to say all these truth.

Sorry I'm not very good in English, I know in US or Canada college got lot of UNIX like computers, that's why people get used to it, but for non-English speaking countries, the _NIX is a great difficulty to learn though it's powerful, for most of the DEVELOPERS like you, command line seems is the "default", I don't hate command line since I start from Apple ][ and PC-DOS 2.0, but I still have difficulty learning all the _NIX things. Now I can did some HTML with notepad but I'm still unable to develop anything, even I can read very simple C. If Linux want more users and developers, try to simplified and have more standards that people can focus on. There's lot of developers around, but when I want serious application like "Adobe Audition" I have to stick to Mac and buy commercial like "Logic" (OSX). Someone still argue between GUI and command line, but I like both, just depends on situation, I didn't like a 100 character command line, it's almost the length of a script, why not drag and drop? But when come to batch jobs command line serve the best ... I'm using Ubuntu but I want more, Linux need to be more mature (for user) and a faster pace of application development, otherwise M$ will be conquering the market with it's strategies.

Anyone notice Linux share the same syntax of UNIX? Do you know how old UNIX is? To start Linux even old people like me need to know some history of XENIX, UNIX, SCO, NFS ... some of those things remain unformatted text base, console type (not VT100). GUI is good, but the back is still those things, that why Mac OSX hide them all. Linux need to clean up those history and simplified those things.

Comment I need turntable to digitize by old vinyl (Score 1) 405

I listen my vinyl music on my iPhone. Main reason for vinyl -- before recording the audio to CD, the CDDA audio was "pre-processed", usually a simple +10db gain, to make the sound almost clip, the worsen sound was not revers-able. I have 70% of my own song digitize by myself, with proper encoding in 48KHz, CD just let me down.

In Hong Kong, there're few laws to protect employers. People keep changing jobs to find a better place, but it's really Utopia since all the businessman are the same - they only care for the profit, ethics not exist in the dictionary of business. Without powerful worker union, abuse is a common scene in Hong Kong. Want to work in Hong Kong? Think twice!

Not only in US, but the whole world's large commercial organizations (you can name a few easily) treat their customers like pigs/dogs/slaves, because they neither have franchise or monopoly. For a good citizen like us have no way to against them but just tolerate.

She did a very good lesson to express our anger and show the hypocrisy of today's commercial organizations.

Submission + - PCWorld refuse hardware repair due to Linux. 10

Tikka writes: "Today I visit PC World (London, UK) because my 5 months old laptop has developed a manufacturing fault, the hinge to the display has started to crack the plastic casing.
Anyone in the know, will know that this is due to the joint inside and this means that ultimately the screen will separate from the keyboard in time.

Repair was refused, because I have Gentoo Linux on my laptop — Replacing the Windows Vista that was pre-installed.

PC World have said that this has void my warranty and there is nothing they will do for me, I spoke to a manager who said that he has been told to refuse any repairs if the operating system has been changed.

I feel this has really gone against my statutory rights and will do everything I can to fight it, I will review comments for your advice."
