    • “Quentin Sommerville, BBC News. Qin Gang, do you have children? ” - 这是下午 BBC 记者的开场白,也是最广为传播的一句。场下一片哄笑。秦刚严肃地点了一下头。


      以下是 Quentin 的完整问题(原文为英文):我提问的原因是,几周前,当我的同事提出了一个关于“绿坝-花季护航”的问题时,你问他有没有孩子。而且你说“绿坝-花季护航”对于保护中国孩子来说是非常必要的。我的同事如果有孩子的话,他当然也明白这点。既然正府推迟了这个软件的安装,那么中国的孩子们——或许你的孩子——就不能得到那么好的保护了?


      秦刚:该说的话我已经说了。有关部门呢,已就这个问题呢,发表了(这个)谈话,所以我没有更多的补充。(完)

    • A Google Doc circulating on the Web, for instance, lists several URLs pointing to Iranian Web sites listed by categories such as "Governmental and HARDLINE NEWS," "Police, Ministry of Interior," "Central Bank," "Commerce Banks" and "Office of Ahmadijenad and Khameneie." When a user clicks on any of the links, it initiates a continuous stream of page refresh requests to the targeted Web site that will eventually overcome the site if enough people click on the link.

    • William Gibson came up with the then-fictional notion of cyberspace in the 1980s when he saw a bunch of teenagers playing video games while listening to Sony Walkmen. In this interview, Dr. Peter H. Diamandis, Chairman of Singularity University (Ray Kurzweil is Chancellor), reveals that he got intimations of “the singularity” in 1993 when he noticed people connecting to others by using their cell phones while traveling underground on the D.C. subway.


    • PETER DIAMANDAS: [laughs] It’s something that needs to happen. I am absolutely convinced that humanity is going to undergo some fundamental evolution over the course of the next few decades. We’re going from evolution by natural selection to evolution by intelligent direction. And the vast amount of breakthroughs — some of the most amazing breakthroughs are going to occur at the boundary conditions between all these exponentially-growing fields.

    • 这个共产党如果你还将它当共产党看,以为只要反对它的那种表里不一的意识形态,就算反对过了,你就大错特错了。它在当前实际上已成为被各种利益集团或贪腐集团租借的外衣,你已无法将它当真,完全要看它被披在哪个人身上了。它的专制是某种黑厚的利益集团的专制,比如杭州飚车案里,那个杭州市委宣传部长的一手遮盖整个杭州新闻界,并不是党的意识形态或权力装置的规定,而是他的权力出租出手时的险恶与无情,才那么激怒我们。我们只能生气中共杭州市委的不去追究这个宣传部长,但我们怎么可以要求这样一个黑厚的利益集团来主动处理其利益关联者呢?他们同是这个权力粪坑里的蛆,享受得正酣呢。只有清洗他们,通过透明的媒体为了追逐自己的利益而进行的报道,通过议会式辩论与决断,来处理他们,虽然这都还不是解放政治,但也因此该先做起来。
    • 艾未未好象也没有看到:并不存在政治的人道主义田园曲;任何政治讨论都是各方从自己利益出发,从他们所处的情形允许他们指望的那种客观性,去获得最大份额。而这常常不是在人民之间分份额,而是通过那个舆论政权,由言论导向来斩获,是硬出手,来搞定。在这样做时,艺术家和知识分子并不占有特权,他们通常很难说清自己的利益纠葛。艺术家在哪一方面是强的呢,是特别对社会政治有贡献的呢?

    • These scandals most likely won't be the last. Even if they were, though, consumer confidence will likely require a fair amount of time to recover from such repeated blows to the "Made in China" brand, as well as to brands that were never previously associated with China in the minds of most consumers. The growth in international trade and the possibility of negative brand impact underscore the significance of dealing with the challenges of using suppliers and supplies from developing countries to meet growing consumer demand for high-quality, low-cost products.

    •   又争执了几分钟,大战开始升级,那些城管想拉开她们三个人,结果动起手来,开始的时候是20-40个人围在那里对其3人拳脚相加,后来见大概20个城管人员有的拿着大概10公分宽30公分唱的皮带对其3人进行殴打,有的拿着城管竟然拿出60厘米长直径大概2CM的钢管对其3人进行殴打,场面简直是惊人,周围的群众沸腾了,对其暴力执法行为都表示严重不满,有的扔矿泉水瓶、有的扔拖鞋进去,但是那些城管依然不管继续殴打其3人,大概打了2翻之后,3人躺在马路上不能动弹,浑身是血,造成交通堵塞,后来110来了,打人的城管走了,凄惨的3人满身是血的瘫在地上。

    • China was a vital supporter of the North Korean Communist forces in the Korean War, sending soldiers across the border from October 1950. After the armistice China's support continued, and in 1961 the two countries signed a Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance, which calls for either to aid the other if attacked. It remains in force.

    • 相形之下,北京气象台公布的监测对象就要令人“放心得多”。它主要是直径小于10微米的悬浮粒子(PM10),可被吸入肺中后再被部分呼出。北京气象台高级工程师张明英向媒体解释道:“两类悬浮粒子均是国际通行的标准,北京气象台一直亦有监测PM2.5,未来也不排除会对公众公布这一数据。”

    • How
      can particle pollution affect you?


      Fine and coarse particles can cause a variety of serious health
      problems. When exposed to these particles, people with heart
      or lung diseases and older adults are more at risk of hospital
      and emergency room visits or, in some cases, even death. These
      effects have been associated with short-term exposures lasting
      24 hours or less. Long-term exposures of a year or more have
      been linked to the development of lung diseases, such as chronic
      bronchitis.


      Particles can aggravate heart diseases such as congestive
      heart failure and coronary artery disease. If you have heart
      disease, particles may cause you to experience chest pain,
      palpitations, shortness of breath and fatigue. Particles have
      also been associated with cardiac arrhythmias and heart attacks.



      Particles can aggravate lung diseases such as asthma
      and bronchitis, causing increased medication use and doctor
      visits. If you have lung disease, and you are exposed to particles,
      you may not be able to breathe as deeply or vigorously as
      normal. You may have respiratory symptoms including coughing,
      phlegm, chest discomfort, wheezing and shortness of breath.
      You also may experience these symptoms even if you're healthy,
      although you are unlikely to experience more serious effects.
      Particles can also increase your susceptibility to respiratory
      infections.
