很多人都收到过恼人的“连锁信（chain letter）”，以短信或电子邮件或信件的形式，要求你将它转寄给多少位亲戚朋友，否则就会遭受天谴等等难听的诅咒，这种信非常让人火大。 在web2.0时代，“连锁信”也出现了变种，譬如最近有1.5亿用户的社交网站Facebook流行叫“25 Random Things About Me”的连锁信，要求转寄给25位Facebook好友，然后以指数级的规模向外扩散。它的传播模式有几分类似于病毒，也会变异进化（最初连锁信的名字叫“16 Random Things”，不久蜕变到15、17、22、35乃至100，最后25成为竞争的获胜者）。Slate的一位生物学家对此传播进行了一番调查研究，他将其代人到“易受感染-被感染-复原”的疾病传播模型中，此事件的传播因子为 0.27。就像传染病，整件事的流行和消亡同样迅速。从用户参与的数量上看，峰值只维持了几天，随后就以崩溃的速度下跌。

人民网 评论：救楼市少打最没有购买力的农民主意
中新网 - 1小时前
国家统计局办公室毛盛勇日前提出：实施房屋券制度，以激活房地产市场。建议说，农民可以将农村房产抵押，兑换相应价值的房屋券，然后持房屋券到城里买房。毛盛勇认为，这不仅可以解决农民工住房问题，也成为目前激活房地产市场的重要途径。 ...

"Taiwan's economy: Mirror, mirror on the wall"
The ugliest economy of them all?
WHICH economy has been hit hardest by the global slump? In its back pages and on its website The Economist tracks 55 countries each week. Based on industrial production, Taiwan has suffered much the biggest shock. Output fell by 32% in the 12 months to December; in the fourth quarter it plunged at an annual rate of 62%. GDP figures, due on February 18th, will be grim.
Taiwan is one of the world’s most export-dependent economies, making many high-tech gadgets for Western consumers, so it has been battered by the slump in global demand. Exports plunged by a record 44% in the year to January. The slide in exports has been exacerbated by a drying up of trade credit. This partly explains why imports also fell by 57% over the period. Exports may therefore partly recover as credit improves. But Taiwan’s competitiveness has been eroded by its relatively strong currency. The New Taiwan dollar has appreciated by more than 40% against the South Korean won since the start of 2008. ...

"“The War of the Roses”: Cate and the king"
Queenly Cate Blanchett turns her attention to Richard II
CATE BLANCHETT is known for the pale beauty of her face and her vivid film performances. Her latest work marks a significant change of pace. As the curtain rises at the Sydney Theatre, she sits centre-stage, a still figure in a white blouse and trousers, blond hair, high cheekbones. A storm of golden petals drifts down from the ceiling, and she wears a crown.
It has become fairly commonplace for film actors to star in London’s West End and on Broadway, but this transposition is different. Miss Blanchett is playing the king in Shakespeare’s “Richard II”, in the first part of a rigorously condensed version of the eight history plays. Miss Blanchett and her husband, Andrew Upton, have become artistic directors of the Sydney Theatre Company, an organisation which already has a fine opinion of itself. “In so far as there is a National Theatre in Australia, the Sydney Theatre Company is it,” says Rob Brookman, the general manager. ...

A special poll on middle-class attitudes
ECONOMIC studies of the middle classes are plentiful, but opinion-poll research—especially involving international comparisons—is thin on the ground. So The Economist asked the Pew Research Center to trawl through its Global Attitudes database for this special report.
Pew looked at 13 middle-income countries in which the middle class is large or growing and classified their responses to questions about religion, democracy, life satisfaction, homosexuality and the environment by income. The threshold it used for “middle-classness” was a self-reported income of $4,286 a year in 2007 PPP dollars, consistent with the range of $4,000-17,000 a year used by the World Bank. Pew then compared these answers with the rest of the sample. Its middle-class group included the rich (defined as those with over $17,000 a year), but their numbers were not statistically significant. The survey therefore compares the attitudes of the global middle class with those of the poor in the same countries. Andrew Kohut, the Pew Research Center’s president, describes it as “the most comprehensive analysis of the ways in which the middle class in emerging markets differs in its attitudes to life and society”. ...

“No bourgeoisie, no democracy”; Barrington Moore may have had a point after all
In December 2008, 300 people in China risked arrest to sign and distribute a document called Charter 08. It demanded the abolition of Communist Party rule, free elections, a new constitution, separation of powers, an independent judiciary and freedom of expression, assembly and religion. Charter 08 was not a specifically middle-class manifesto. Its most notable—and, to the Communist government, alarming—feature was the wide range of those who had signed it: farmers, former party officials, dissidents from the Tiananmen Square era, a Tibetan blogger.
But the signatories did include representatives of China’s new middle class, especially lawyers active in the so-called “rights movement” who take up cases involving property law and environmental protection. The document calls for the protection of private property, a quintessentially middle-class concern everywhere. Although the official media stifled news of the charter, discussion of it quickly spread on the internet, the favourite medium of China’s new middle class. Within a week 5,000 people had added their signatures. ...

Why the new middle classes are so good for their countries’ economies
MOST Western businessmen think the middle class in emerging markets matters because of its spending potential. One day those billions of Chinese, Indians and Brazilians will be buying awesome quantities of toothpaste or computers. A global consumer society will be born.
Walking around the stores of Sanlitun Village, a shopping mall in central Beijing, it is tempting to imagine that those dreams are already coming true. Young Chinese couples dressed to the nines ogle the latest computers and BMWs. The architecture looks like a collection of recent international design-award winners: the Apple store a cool glass box, the Adidas one a jagged shard of orange and ochre, all arranged around the obligatory skating rink. ...

2 月 8 日， Linux 2.6.29-rc4 正式发布，其主持人 Linus Torvalds 建议，将来用“ Linus 2.0” 称呼内核版本 Linux 2.6.29 。简单说来，他建议用自己的名字“ Linus” 直呼 Linux ，恢复历史的原貌。这是什么原因呢？
在我们国内，有人倡导“我们必须自己研发”操作系统，殊不知操作系统是在迅速发变化中的一种东西，比如： Linux 2.6.29-rc3 是在今年 1 月 28 日发布的一个版本，而 -rc4 版本是在 2 月 8 日发布的一个最新版本，两者发布时间仅相隔 10 天，但是，后者与前者相比较，增加了 9,732 行新源代码，修改了 8,110 行源代码，删除了 5,140 行源代码。现代软件开发，如同科学研究一般，来不得一点儿虚假。我们说， Linux 是在迅速发展中的操作系统，就是据此而言的。在此，我们说句大白话， Linux 操作系统就仿佛是一种有生命的海生动物，不断吐故纳新，进行新陈代谢，游弋在广阔无垠的人类智慧海洋之中，有人想捕捞它，圈养起来，成为“国产”动物，这样一定会整死（憋死）它的。
大家知道， Linus Torvalds 是 Linux 的总协调人，也叫做主持人。商标“ Linux” 就归属于他本人。他对 Linux 的成长历程最清楚不过了。他知道，现在到时候了， Linux 已经长大了（ 18 岁），该给它起个更响亮的名字： Linus ，与当年“ Linux” 一词就是来自“ Linus” 谐音的历史渊源一致，把字母 x 改回字母 s 。。这样好了，我们现在总算有一个新的起点： Linus 2.0 。从此， Linux 更加人性化了（就叫 Linus ），不再是流浪儿，被人摆弄，任人欺负。
老实说，我们（我国）养不起 Linus 。 Linux Torvalds 本人对我们不够友好，曾发誓说不来中国。你想，把“国产”加在 Linux 之前，使人家多么难受（很受委屈）。今后，恐怕谁也不敢再说，“国产 Linus“ 了，那是直接侵犯了人家的冠名权。微软也很怕 Linux ，知道它的厉害。微软曾经说过， Linux 侵犯了微软的专利。 Linux 马上反击道：你说出来，哪里侵犯了你的专利？微软心里面明白，什么人也惹不起你（ Linux ），表示不打官司，放你一码，还是去做生意，赚钱要紧。我们搞国家软件重大专项，也要注意这一点，别招惹 Linus ，以免将来找上门来向政府讨债。当前，全球经济紧缩，什么事情都会发生，狗急了还要跳墙。
当前，微软 Windows 7 遭遇到 Linux 很大的压力，尤其是基于 Intel 移动 Linux （即 Moblin 2.0 ）的 Ubuntu （ 9.04 或 9.10 ）版本。 Ubuntu 社区的骨干分子是一批“ Determined”(“ 坚定的” ) 开发者，这批人意志坚定，金钱美女不为所动。微软 Windows 7(Beta0 刚一发布， Ubuntu 奠基人 Mark Shuttleworth 就下载一套，摆弄了几小时，发现（ Windows 7) 不错。但是，他说， Windows 7 的定价有多高呢？敢出来比试比试？据传（微软至今未出面否认）， Windows 7 的初级版（ Starter ），尽管人为地限制它只能同时运行 3 个应用，定价仍然为 199 美元一套。我们要问，这样的定价贵不贵？ 2 月 9 日， Dell 发布一款基于 Ubuntu 的“超低价”新型“迷你本”电脑，款型“ mini 9n” ，定价 250 美元一套。这款“迷你本”，内存 512MB ，固态硬盘 4GB ， Ubuntu 在上面跑得很欢，而 Windows 7 根本装不进去（太肥胖）。相比之下，买一套“迷你本”的价钱几乎相当于 Windows 7 的初级版定价。在当今全球经济低迷情况下，广大用户捂紧口袋，当然不会（不愿意）给 Windows 7 捧场（送钱）。由此，我们可以看出，自由软件 Ubuntu 定价为零的厉害和威力。在 MID （移动互联网设备）和自启动 U 盘上，自由软件更能发挥出无可比拟的优势。如果我们敢把 Dell 的这款新型“品牌”“迷你本”（ 10 英寸显示屏）引进我们国内（定价 1,800 元人民币一台），北京中关村电脑大卖场肯定要闹翻了天。谁说 Linux 不好用？那大概是指“国产” Linux 吧？
微软的难题在于要保护 Windows 7 这条“黄金牛”（现金流），与此相反， Ubuntu 只笃信“自由 GNU” （牛羚 gnu 的正确发音为 nu: ，类似我国的牛字）。非常明显的事实是，牵这两只牛的人不是一路人（此处，意指在一条路上走的人）。

2月11日，《Linuxtoday》发表Foobar长篇文章（11页A4打印纸），题为“How to write a Linux virus(病毒)...”，令人十分惊异。这是什么事呢？
大家知道，Linux抗击病毒(传播)的能力与Unix相当，可以说“Linux具有防病毒”能力，它是一种十分安全的操作系统。在理智上，人们能够认识并且承认这一点是非常重要的。但是，我们有人动辄就发表言论，要求政府投入巨资，独立地研发所谓“国产”的安全操作系统，似乎Linux还不够安全，其实非也。
上述文章作者声称，“可以在5步之内，写出一段Linux的病毒代码”。如果当真如此，Linux谈何安全？细读文章后，不难发现，作者自己也承认，实际上，Linux内核不会感染这种病毒，只是Linux桌面（即Gnome和KDE）具有这种缺陷（脆弱性）。简单来说就是，他（作者）能够写一段“恶意代码”，放入Linux系统（用户）的电子邮件中进行传播（传递）。果真如此，那还了得！文章作者，在发表此文之前，为慎重起见，询问了Fedora和Ubuntu社区。Fedora社区的回复是，“Well-known and expected behaivior”，并且表示，此文公开发表没有任何问题（他们并不担心此事）。但是，对此询问，Ubuntu社区，也许出于同样理由，至今还未予正面答复他。
细读此文，不难发现，该文作者确实是一位Linux高手。他利用Python脚本语言，编制了一段非常精致、短小的程序代码（.py文件），诱骗粗心而且很笨的Linux用户上当，实际上，此骗局所发生的几率是一个“小概率事件”。严格说来，就是“小概率事件”，对Linux而言，也不能轻易放过的。我用意作者的见解：Linux用户也应当具备预防病毒的观念。有（这种意识），总比没有强。同时，我相信，对于Linux大家庭而言，只要把问题摆在桌面上，没有什么问题是不能解决的。
我认为，在过去相当长的时间内，我们（我国）对Linux系统的安全性宣传不够，而且，很不够。Windows XP病毒满天飞，我们司空见惯，不以为奇。在我国，不少“杀病毒”厂商，钱运亨通，十分得意（得志），简直不可一世。有人说，Linux病毒多的是，只是因为Linux用户极少，没有人愿意理它睬罢了。此言非也。至今，在全球范围内，不见实质性的Linux病毒广泛传播的报道（或记录）。老实说，Linux不是绝对地没有病毒，只是Linux的工作机制（指用户通常不在根目录下工作）非常不利于病毒的广泛传播而已。现在如此，将来也必然如此。
坦白地讲，在我们国家，在过去一段时光，在客观上，我们对Linux系统的真实优点并没有向广大的社会公众和政府官员讲解清楚（指使他们明白和理解），致使社会公众对Linux的认识，迷迷糊糊，是是非非。今年2月4日，美国开源软件社会团体，联名上书（公开信）奥巴马总统，力促美国政府采用Linux系统，阐明Linux系统的真正优势，拒绝高昂的私有软件。而我们呢？游说政府官员，要投入，投入，.....，不断地投入。我就不信这一套！你能拿我怎么样？
