A Bovine Guide to Political Theory from The Utne Reader

From Roy Chan's blog

Feudalism: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.

Fascism: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them, and sells you the milk.

Pure socialism: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else’s cows. You have to take care of all the cows. The government gives you as much milk as you need.

Pure communism: You have two cows. Your neighbors help you take care of them, and you all share the milk.

Bureaucratic socialism: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else’s cows. They are cared for by ex-chicken farmers. You have to take care of the chickens the government took from the chicken farmers. The government gives you as much milk and as many eggs as the regulations say you should need.

Russian communism: You have two cows. You have to take care of them, but the government takes all the milk.

Pure democracy: You have two cows. Your neighbors decide who gets the milk.

Representative democracy: You have two cows. Your neighbors pick someone to tell you who gets the milk.

American democracy: The government promises to give you two cows if you vote for it. After the election, the president is impeached for speculating in cow futures.

Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.

Local governmental capitalism: The government condemns your cows under rights of eminent domain, knocks them over, and allows the mall to expand its parking lot.

Hong Kong capitalism: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank ,then execute a debt-equity swap with associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax deduction for keeping five cows. The milk rights of six cows are transferred via a Panamanian intermediary to Cayman Islands company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cow’s milk back to the listed company. The annual report says that the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Meanwhile, you kill the two cows because the feng shui is bad.

Totalitarianism: You have two cows. The government takes them and denies they ever existed. Milk is banned.

Anarchism: You have two cows. Either you sell the milk at a fair price or your neighbors try to kill you and take the cows.

Dictatorship: You have two cows. The government takes both and shoots you.

Surrealism: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.

How to call ocaml functions from C.

Here is an example of how to invoke a ocaml function from c codes.
/* str.c --- readin a string and format it as italy */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <caml/mlvalues.h>
#include <caml/callback.h>
int main (int argc,char **argv)
{
   caml_main(argv);
   if (argc>1)
     printf( callback(*caml_named_value("format string"),copy_string(argv[1])));
   return 0;
}

(* forstr.ml *)
let format_str (w:string) =
  "<i>"^w^"</i>";;
Callback.register "format string" format_str;;

to compile as native format:
1. ocamlopt -output-obj forstr.ml -o forstring.o
2. gcc -c str.c  /* cannot use g++ */
3. gcc -o test forstring.o str.o -L/usr/lib/ocaml/3.08/ -lasmrun -ldl -lm

How to get a free top-level domain name?

Tokelau brought a plan to introduce him on Web. OK, who is Tokelau? It's a small island (more several small islands?) country near New Zealand. I have never heard it several months before. The same goes on most people, I think. Now, their project to provide free .tk top-level domain name works.
To get your .tk name, plz:

1. Goto its website and follow instruction to apply
2. It will ask for a Ambassador coupon number, you can use 172818

vedio under linux

It's not a happy experience to find all encoders to watch movies. even more, we know, media player won't play rm and realplay won't play wmv, as they are adversary. although i seldom watch movies on my linux box, i am still very happy to hear that there is no such boring issues if you installed xine and mplayer. The two players solves all. actually, on fedora i only use mplayer, on debian i only use xine, and i have almost never need to consider where to grab encoders -- they can all be apt-gotten or downloaded from mplayers's homepage. i donno what's the underlying architecture of vedio players under linux, it's a bit strange that xine can use encoders provided by mplayer with a small trick. (just copy all encoders to /usr/lib/win32)

Debian

just replace fedora on my desktop and laptop with debian, as there are some debian mirrors in singapore and they are highspeed, with apt, to install debian is really a enjoyment. it's easy to config and easier to get various softwares, i love it.

Another blogger tool (i like it)

Do you know PyQlogger? I found it at kde-apps.org just now. PyQlogger is based on python, u can see from its name. After disappointed by those blogger clients that cannot edit post title, pyqlogger appears finally. It even can save posts as local draft copies. Seems it have some bugs, maybe only on my box. Check out here. WebLog Madness and hereis a very complete list of blog related stuffs.

Tips about Blogger Archives -- drop-down menu and calendar

The calendar introduced in this article is based on client javascript, I also implement a Web service to generate calendar for you. Please check out at BlogCat, and its tutorial, the Web service is more comprehensive than the javascript version. If you donnot mind to try, you will like it.


For those 'elder' bloggers, archive lists may take up almost whole sidebar. Organizing the archive list in a drop-down menu is a good choice. It's simple, just place the following scripts in your blogger template: <select name="ArchiveMenu" onChange="location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<option value="/">-------------------</option>
<BloggerArchives>
<option value="<$BlogArchiveURL$>">------<$BlogArchiveName$>------</option>
</BloggerArchives>
<option value="/">Current Posts</option>
</select>
Check out the result effect in my right panel. Before introducing bloglendar, Here is a php-based blog calendar prototype, if you are interested, please check out.


Bloglender is a script add a calendar to blogger, while we know blogger does not provide native calendar like MT, WordProcess. Its idea is simple:

1. assign a special class to DateHeader of ur blog
2. draw a calendar of current month
3. read in all elements of DataHeader class, add a hyperlink in the calendar corresponding to each DataHeader element

Thanks Ming Hong Ng, now, to add the calendar, only need to

1. copy three script files to ur server,
2. add the following codes to ur template:
   <script type="text/javascript" charset="<$BlogEncoding$>" src="[your_server]/bloglendar.js">
   </script> <script type="text/javascript" charset="<$BlogEncoding$>" src="[your_server]/bloglendar-main.js">
   </script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="[your_server]/bloglendar.css" />
3. enclose ur BlogDataHeader in a DIV element with class "blogDate", e.g.:
   <BlogDateHeader>
    <div class="blogDate" title="<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>"></div>
   </BlogDateHeader>
4. insert the below line to where u want the calendar appears:
   

   <span id="bloglendar"><!-- Bloglendar here --></span>

3D Desktop!

these days, here is more like a photo blog due to lack of time to write anything patiently. so, just take photos, copy screens. anyway, the screen copy left is really cute. It's Metisse, an experimental X desktop with some OpenGL capacity. It is constituted by a virtual X server called Xwnc, a special version of FVWM and an FVWM module FvwmAmetista (after Ametista). I'd think Thomas Chung introduces it at fedoranews

wow, my 3D! Desktop
