安全上網 Safe browsing tips, 上網安全嗎?

在試用OpenSuse時, 搜尋到下列文章(2010.Jan.09發表的)

[ref]

http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/how-faq-forums/unreviewed-how-faq/430468-safe-browsing-opensuse.html

覺得有道理, 摘譯如後, 提供參考

//=== Safe browsing(安全上網)

0. 別用無線網路進行關於錢的交易, 尤其是公共的WiFi熱點

1. 別太相信HTTPS/WPA2 雖然他們可能比HTTP/WPA or HTTP/WEP 安全一點

2. 在電腦中產生另一個safe-browing專用帳戶, 取消flash?, javascript?, 以及其他的addins

3. 別關掉防火牆

fstab, mtab

這兩個table頗像, 常搞混
fstab : filesystems table, 通常存在/etc/fstab or /etc/vfstab
mtab : mounted filesystems table, 通常存在/etc/mtab

根據wikipedia, 主要的差別在於mtab 只列出目前處於mounted狀態的裝置
而fstab 則列出所有可用的filesystems

有種說法 mtab 是 mount 這個命令參考fstab 執行後的結果 :
fstab -> mount -> mtab

那為何mtab中會出現 fstab中沒有的filesystem?

//=== 摘錄
"... the main distinction being that the latter lists all available filesystems whereas the former lists only currently mounted ones ..."

fstab:
"... lists all available disks and disk partitions, and indicates how they are to be initialized or otherwise integrated into the overall system's file system..."

"... the options field simply contains a comma-separated list of options which will be passed directly to mount when it tries to mount the filesystem...."

Rgb, Argb, PArgb Bitmap

Windows 的Bitmap 含有三種容易混淆的格式 (PixelFormat)
Rgb: b-g-r (low memory address to high)
Argb: b-g-r-a
PArgb: pb-pg-pr-a

a=a/255f;
pb= a*b;
pg= a*g;
pr= a*r;

據說 PArgb 的Bitmap 畫起來比 Argb 快.

bool 有多大?

bool 值 : 真或假 ,
基本上
一個bit 就足夠儲存
在硬碟/光碟/記憶體/... 佔掉 1 bit 的空間
在通信傳輸時佔掉 1/R 的時間,
R 是傳輸速率,
單位 bps(bits per second)

考量資料存取效率通常 bool 會佔據byte的整數倍

在C# 中內建的 bool 佔 1 byte 而非 1 bit,
當要呼叫Windows Platform SDK 的API (C寫的函數) 時
若API參數型別為BOOL(佔4 bytes)
則從C#傳過來的1-byte bool 將會變成4-bytes BOOL
這就是一種 Marshal/Marshalling

那 bool 到底有多大?
1 bit
1 byte
4 bytes

還有2 bytes 的說法???

//=== 歷史
[ref] http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2004/12/22/329884.aspx

因為早期的 C 語言中 bool 並非內建型別, 所以後人就自己定了許多的 '布林'型別
1. BOOL (Windows 1.0 )
typedef int BOOL; //4 bytes

2. BOOLEAN (OS/2 NT team )
typedef BYTE BOOLEAN; // 1 byte

3. VARIANT_BOOL (Visual Basic folks)
typedef short VARIANT_BOOL;
#define VARIANT_TRUE ((VARIANT_BOOL)-1)
#define VARIANT_FALSE ((VARIANT_BOOL)0)

4. C++ 內建型別 bool , 1 byte ?

//=== 微軟
[ref] http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tf4dy80a.aspx

Visual C++ 4.2, typedef int bool; //sizeof(bool) == 4
Visual C++ 5.0 之後, bool 變成 1 byte 的內建型別 //sizeof(bool) == 1

MathJax, MathML, and LaTex

懷念LaTex ? 或者揮不去的夢魘?

MathJax 讓使用者能夠在Html頁面中以LaTex語法加入方程式,
它也支援 MathML 語法.

得先引用 MathJax的javascript library,

0. config to set in-line delimiter to $\$$

<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
MathJax.Hub.Config({tex2jax: {inlineMath: [['$\$$','$\$$'], ['\$','\$']]}});
</script>

1. 透過 http
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML">

2. 或者透過https

<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://d3eoax9i5htok0.cloudfront.net/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML">
</script>

當 $a \ne 0$, 方程式 $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ 有兩個解 :
$$x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}.$$

php on GAE

GAE: Google App Engine 的縮寫

PHP: 本來是 Personal Home Page 的縮寫,
後來俺不知為了啥, 它就變成了PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor 的縮寫,

這種縮寫稱為 Recursive Acronym ...

GAE 目前只支援 Python, Java , Go, 想要在GAE 上跑 php

必須先將php 轉成Python 或 Java ?

『。。。
I was fed-up of the VMware bloat, it seems to add on far too many services which I just don't want or need.

If you're creating a bunch of linux systems to separate out services (dhcp, mail, web, etc) then xen might be the way to go.
Xen is not like the other things. Basically consider Xen to be a way to virtualize Linux servers on a Linux server;

also found that at this time most of the apps that I wanted on windows are working with Wine, so I stopped running VMs altogether. This all said, I stuck with VirtualBox primarily since it is free and it worked.

found VirtualBox's networking to be a nightmare

Windows Search Service 選項設定

微軟的 Windows 2008 Server 作業系統中, 檔案及其內容的搜尋
主要依靠服務 Windows Search Service(簡稱 Search Service),
另外有一個 Windows2003 server indexing service (簡稱 Indexing Service )
則是傳統的檔案索引服務

據建議以使用Search Service為佳
除非 ...

至於早期的WinXP, Win2000 若想採用新的Search Service 則須另外安裝
Windows Desktop Search
[ Windows Search 4.0, http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/desktopsearch/choose/windowssearch4.mspx ]

也就是說
Windows Desktop Search === Windows Search Service
Windows Classic Search === indexing service

Windows desktop search 當初是為了對抗Google desktop search 而推出的?
[ Google desktop search, http://desktop.google.com/ , 有linux版本 ]

不過微軟的FAQ聲稱 Windows desktop search 可與其他的 desktop search產品共存 ...

[ http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/desktopsearch/technicalresources/techfaq.mspx ]
" Can I use a third-party desktop search product if my PC already has Windows Search built in?

Yes, Windows Search is designed to be a good citizen and will function well in the presence of other indexers as will the operating system itself.

Windows Installer 與 Dual-purpose package

//=== Windows Installer, Microsoft Installer, Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI)
Windows Installer 目前出到5.0 版

Windows Installer 用來安裝/管理/更新/升級/移除所安裝的套裝軟體(msi package)

支援

component management.
advertisement of applications and features ?
dual-purpose package ( Windows Installer 5.0 )
least privilege installation by proxy for unprivileged users ?

//===

Key path or Key file 的觀念比較像資料庫的key

用來判斷一個component 是否有更新或異動

可以用Orca.exe 來檢視 msi 的內容

//=== Dual-purpose package
Windows Installer 5.0 允許在一個 msi package 中同時支援 perUser 與 perMachine的安裝機制
這樣的 msi package 稱做 dual-purpose package ;
這個機制則有一個令我混淆的名稱: single package authoring

Dual-purpose package 可以在 Windows 7 與 Windows Server 2008 R2 , 用Windows Installer 5.0 安裝,
Vista 以前的作業系統呢? Windows Installer 4.5以前的版本呢?

Per-user installation context: 當Windows Installer 5.0 安裝一個 dual-purpose package 時 , 檔案與登錄(registry entries) 指到 per-user 的位置, 不會觸發 UAC credential prompt

Per-machine installation context: 當Windows Installer 5.0 安裝一個 dual-purpose package 時 , 檔案與登錄(registry entries) 指到 per-machine的位置, 會觸發 UAC credential prompt 以確認使用者是否有足夠的權限

*** 用Windows Installer 4.5及以前的Installer 安裝 dual-purpose package 時

Installer 將忽略 MSIINSTALLPERUSER , 進入per-machine installation context
並觸發 UAC credential prompt ...

//===

" ... Once Windows Installer 5.0 installs an application, it uses the same installation context for all subsequent updates, repairs, or removal of the application."

A valid dual-purpose package must be able to pass validation by ICE105.

//=== dual-purpose package development guideline and example

電腦送修

用了兩年的準系統桌機(desktop)
近幾個月常常無法順利開機
總要先通電溫機一個小時甚至更久
才能成功啟動.
上月初某天終於怎麼開都開不起來
決定送回原廠檢修
把光碟硬碟 RAM 拆下
百里迢迢的轉了四次車(公車a 捷運b 捷運c 公車d)
背著當年號稱迷你如今卻嫌笨重的電腦
來到新興區域的企業總部
向櫃檯小姐報到
"請稍候"

在沙發區遇到另一位帶著電腦來修的先生
機器都是黑色系外型略有差異
症狀也是開不了機 ...

出來一位男性工程師客氣冷靜的講解著送修的事宜

拆機費: NT$300 (如果不是空機? 需要維修人員拆解的話)
檢查費: NT$500
檢修時程: 更換主機板? 五~六個工作天
維修費用: 無人為損害? NT$1200 ~ 1500; 否則可能需NT$3000~ 3500

* 空機的定義 : 原來準系統配備的裝置, 包含主機板, 機殼, 電源, 散熱片及風扇

* 拆機費的定義: 移除非原來準系統配備的裝置例如光碟/ 硬碟/ RAM 還有CPU
變回空機的狀態;
[ 為了省NT$300, 只好向該位工程師借螺絲起子想把CPU 拆下,
得先拆散熱片(連著風扇) ; 以前沒拆過拆不下來窘!
多虧工程師指點接著是CPU的卡鎨 ...

* 人為損害的定義 : 工程師提出一些說法讓我覺得很模糊個人的詮釋:

是否人為損害由維修方來認定不過送修方可以決定要不要付費繼續修

不願意修的話原機退回 ...

兩個工作天後接到電話通知檢查結果無異常
可以開機 ...
聽從建議先到x見門市換了兩條 DDR2-800 DRAM (長板變成短板)
再次來到百里迢迢之外的沙發區
工程師在連著牆壁的展示桌上用其DRAM/CPU 展示我的準系統可以開機
客氣冷靜的請我在維修單上簽名
請他用我新換的DRAM測試他還是要我先簽名
並再次重新開機確認螢幕有輸出 /鍵盤有反應
說簽完名後我可以再用帶來的DRAM自行測試 ...
此時注意到他用的DRAM是667MHz的
向他反應要跑800MHz 見我遲遲不簽名
他有點無奈的接過新換來的DRAM
先插一條開機OK, 微微鬆了口氣
爽快的插入第二條也可以正常開機
他恢復了冷靜的神情擺出電梯小姐的姿勢
手肘90度手掌45度斜上展示著開機的BIOS畫面
...

簽完名後拿出身上僅有的一張千元鈔
他收了錢及簽名單後請我稍等 ...

這回的稍等有些久所幸有沙發與冷氣
終於工程師拿了發票出來
可是沒有找我五百
我也冷靜客氣的說 "不好意思您還要找我五百元"
他趕忙陪笑說不好意思回辦公區不算太慢的拿了張五百元給我
"請慢走" ...

背上電腦走回大街等公車往民權大橋方向車不少
傍晚陽光依然刺目

//=== 無法開機的原因猜測是 :

DRAM 接觸不良
DRAM 跑800MHz不穩
啟動電容老化
啟動按鈕接觸不良

Bitdefender的產品比較

前兩年買的 bitdefender Antivirus Pro 到期了
偵測過幾個病毒
但桌面下方工作列上的圖示
一直有個驚嘆號

網路搜尋一些防毒軟體的評比
以[cost,perfomance]來看
似乎還是bitdefender為首選

沒辦法 ...

bitdefender 目前至少有三種版本
Antivirus Pro
Internet Security
Total Security

本以為 Total Security == Antivirus Pro + Internet Security
但看了比較表之後
[ http://www.bitdefender.com/world/solutions/antivirus-comparison.html ]

發現 Total Security > Internet Security > Antivirus Pro

Total Security 主要比 Internet Security 多了
＊ System tune-up
＊ Critical folder/file encryption
＊ File Shredder/File Vault

Internet Security 主要比 Antivirus Pro 多了
＊ Junk email stopping
＊ Parental control
＊ Firewall

下載Total security 試用後覺得卡卡的
系統反應變慢, 原來System tune-up 附了一些工具程式
還得手動run過才行？

所以是junk email stopping 與 firewall
造成系統反應變慢 ?

看來還不如回歸核心功能
買 Antivirus Pro 就好了
。。。

在線上購買的過程中發現
網路上有幾個網站都在賣
例如：
http://www.bdantivirus.com/ （it2g.com)
http://bitdefender.qcomgroup.com/ (qcomgroup.com)

想找bitdefender在地的經銷商可參考以下連結
http://www.bitdefender.com/site/Partnership/allPartners/94/

不同經銷商的定價大同小異
想要省點錢就得注意有無speical offer
limited time offer
或者 discount, coupon ...

在這些定價/折扣多元的背後
就是漸為人知的軟體 partner/affiliate 網路
跟保險行銷的模式有點像

為了一窺堂奧也為了discount
加入某個affiliate 網路

右側及置底的gadget中
就有bitdefender的廣告
歡迎贊助選購：)

Google API's Auth (認證) 種類

Google API 至少有三種 authentication 機制

OAuth : 目前最新的 , 也是Google 推薦的
AuthSub : Google proprietary, 已被融入OAuth, 不建議再使用

ExecRequest sample for Google Data API

從 http://code.google.com/p/google-gdata/downloads/list
下載 "Google Data API Setup (1.7.0.1).msi" 之後
試著要了解Google Doc 在取得文件資訊/上傳檔案的過程中,
authentication(認證)/authorization(授權)的機制

看了一些Sample projects, 發覺包了好幾層,
實在有點見林不見樹 ...

最後發現 "ExecRequest" 這個範例比較單純
只與Core Client(Google.Data.Client.dll) 這個library 有關
(source code 在\Google Data API SDK\Sources\Library\core 的目錄下)

ExecRequest <service> <cmd> <uri> <username> <password>

cmd 可以是 QUERY, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE
uri 例子:
https://docs.google.com/feeds/default/private/full/-/folder?max-results=100
將Server上的 folder/collections 的資訊取出來

https://docs.google.com/feeds/default/private/full?showfolders=true
將Server上的 Documents/Files/folder/collections 的資訊取出來
service 必須要是對應的 ServiceName

The Visual Studio Tools for Office(VSTO) loader is an unmanaged DLL that acts as a shim to load the .NET CLR and then your custom managed assembly.
A custom COM shim has exactly the same behavior.

If you use the VSTO loader, you can set Office macro security to High (or Very High in Office 2003), because a managed smart tag loaded by the VSTO loader is not subject to Office macro security checking at all.

PDT(Php Development Tool) debugger setup

To get source-level debugging for php in PDT,
have to install Zend Debugger or XDebug Debugger.

//=== Zend Debugger Installation [ref: thierryb.net]:
UPDATE URL: http://downloads.zend.com/pdt
*** use "Help -> Install New Software"
instead of "Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install"

* Zend Debugger Client:
php.ini modification to make Zend Debugger client work with Mysql(only for PDT installed on MS Windows?)

* Zend Debugger Server:
download "Studio Web Debugger" from http://www.zend.com/products/studio/downloads

//=== Examples for PDT debug setting using Zend Debugger:

//=== phpinfo
PHP Version 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.7

//=== extension_dir /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs
put the extracted ZendDebugger.so under the extension_dir

//=== php.ini edit (better back it up before editting)
sudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

set(or comment out) the following attributes:

* zend_debugger.allow_hosts
zend_debugger.allow_hosts=127.0.0.1/32, 192.168.0.0/16

; this is to see output while debugging
implicit_flush = On

* The output buffering functionality must be switched off to see debug output, too.
output_buffering = 0

[ Note: Remember that output buffering is necessary to allow you to send header (e.g. cookies) even after you sent body content.
Rrestore output_buffering to its original value when we get an error message like "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent",]

* Disable eAccelerator if it is installed and enabled:
eaccelerator.enable="0" (string or digit?)

* Disable the Xdebug extension by commenting out
;zend_extension=/usr/lib/php4/20020429/xdebug.so

* Disable DBG Debugger, too :
;extension=dbg.so
;extension=php_dbg.dll

* For linux, copy the following lines into the end of php.ini
[Zend]
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/ZendDebugger.so
zend_debugger.allow_hosts=<comma separated ip_addresses>
zend_debugger.expose_remotely=always

//=== restart web server
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

HyperV vhd (虛擬硬碟) 種類

HyperV vhd (虛擬硬碟) 可分三種:

dynamically expanding : 動態擴增
fixed size: 固定容量
differencing: 根據另一個vhd(母碟: parent vhd) 衍生來的

之前一直沒去探究 differencing vhd 的用法
最近得高手指點
恍然大悟 differencing vhd 的用途 :

0. 產生 vm(Virtual machine) "vmbase", 先將 OS 灌起來存成 base.vhd ,

將 base.vhd 設成唯讀

1. 根據 base.vhd 衍生 base_update.vhd, 產生 vm "vmbase_update",

將vmbase_update 與 base_update.vhd綁在一起,

* 安裝 OS update

將 base_update.vhd 設成唯讀

2. 根據 base_update.vhd 衍生 base_update_app0.vhd, 產生 vm "vmbase_update_app0",

將vmbase_update_app0 與 base_update_app0.vhd綁在一起,

* 不安裝其他應用程式

(除了不是唯讀之外 , 基本上 base_update_app0.vhd 與 base_update.vhd 應該是等價的)

3. 根據 base_update.vhd 衍生 base_update_app1.vhd, 產生 vm "vmbase_update_app1",

將vmbase_update_app1 與 base_update_app1.vhd綁在一起,

* 安裝應用程式app1

4. 比較 2,3 就可看出應用程式app1 對系統的影響

There are three actions for "Edit Disk" to HyperV's virtual hard disk :

compact : remove blank space to shrink/reduce size
convert : dynamic size to fixed size or vice versa?
expand : increase size

//===
可透過HyperV 右側的Actions 工作列
點選 "Edit Disk" -> 選擇想要縮/擴的 .vhd 檔案
->

compact : 將因檔案刪除所造成的空隙移除以縮減vhd大小
convert : 將vhd從動態容量轉為固定容量模式?
expand : 增加vhd 容量

點了馬上購買就馬上成交了 ...
而不是先選擇付款方式後才進入真正下標的動作 ...

那就得取消交易
在露天搜尋好久終於找到如何取消交易的path :

買家要到我的拍賣 -> 購買清單->賣家與交易資料(查看匯款資料)裡點入->管理(提出取消交易)-> 選擇/填寫取消交易原因 -> 送出 -> 等待賣家同意 ...

我先收到「取消交易要求」已成功送出！(商品編號 1108012xxxxxxx )的email通知
隔天再收到 "拍賣交易取消成功" 的email通知

" ...
這筆拍賣交易已經成功取消。(商品編號：11080121xxxxxx)
請注意!! 您無法再評價對方，這筆交易相關的評價系統都會全部刪除。

．若在商品賣出後的14天內確認取消交易，系統將不會對賣家計收交易的成交手續費。
．若在商品賣出後的15天起才確認取消交易，賣家仍應支付已計入的成交手續費，

Reproduce "Flex Test Drive: Build an application in an hour" for php on my website hosted at bluehost

I have spent more than 10 hours to reproduce Adobe's "Flex Test Drive: Build an application in an hour" for php on my website hosted at bluehost :

http://3hsite.info/flex/TestDrive/flex1-debug/flex1.html

partially because i'm a tyro in Flex;
partially because that i try to locate Flex application/service and Zend lib different from the default configuration.

To make the change of location work , i'd got to edit amf_config.ini, gateway.php and php.ini ...
after some try-and-errors and repeated reading the instructions in the references,
finally i got it.

* amf_config.ini :
web_root
zend_path

* gateway.php:
$webroot = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$configfile = "$dir/amf_config.ini";
$zenddir = $webroot. '/zend/library'; //shd match zend_path in amf_config.ini

* php.ini:
include_path should contain zend_path in amf_config.ini

"gksu is a frontend to su and gksudo is a frontend to sudo. Their
primary purpose is to run graphical commands that need root without

CSS list-style 沒作用?

在 Blogspot http://3hinvest.blogspot.com 中
改變sidebar的ul(unordered list) style,
加入了以下的CSS

.sidebar ul {
margin:5px;
list-style:disc;
}

雖然條列項目有內縮但是項目的"子彈"(bullet, 項目前的標誌小圖)
卻沒顯示出來 , 即使再加入

.sidebar ul li {
list-style:disc;
}
依然沒顯示出bullet

上網搜尋發現了 list-style 這個屬性有好多個值
'list-style'
[ 'list-style-type' || 'list-style-position' || 'list-style-image' ] | inherit

其中'list-style-position' 的預設值是 outside ?
只要指定'list-style-position' 為inside, bullet 就會出現了

[example]
ul
{
list-style:disc inside url("/images/blueball.gif");
}

//===
tried to make bullet for ul(unordered list) shown on my another blog, http://3hinvest.blogspot.com
by modifying the blogspot template to

.sidebar ul {
margin:5px;
list-style:disc;
}

the indent takes effect, but the bullets do not show up even if
i added

.sidebar ul li {
list-style:disc;
}

after searching on internet, found that
the value of property 'list-style' has multiple ingredients
that can be set in order: list-style-type, list-style-position, list-style-image.

'list-style'
[ 'list-style-type' || 'list-style-position' || 'list-style-image' ] | inherit

If one of the values above is missing, e.g. "list-style:disc inside;", the default value for the missing property will be adopted.

The default value for 'list-style-position' seems outside?
After explicitly setting 'list-style-position' to 'inside' as follows

.sidebar ul {
margin:5px;
list-style:disc inside;
}

the bullets show up as expected.
