曾几何
草箐牧放歌
春来颂书夏沐河
秋逐野山坡诗学辍
出嫁掌炊锅
三十而母六十婆
育子竟出国离别阔
老来复折磨
早作陈香晚念佛
有孙见不得古稀过
母子多联络
汝有事业报故国
天伦何其乐[

垄断的好处真是多多。只要让人们都依赖上了你,你就可以为所欲为。而Windows之对消费者,就好像是成瘾的习惯,习惯成自然,欲罢不能。有位西人先哲曾说,天底下不幸的是所有的坏习惯都有诱人成瘾的...[

盖子没花一分钱,仅仅是挣一只眼闭一支眼,盗版商就为微软免费做了十多年广告,而且保证被一份广告投放,都能换回一个视窗的瘾君子。当然,盗版商也算是回收了成本并有蝇头小利可点。不过,等盖子先生俩眼都睁开了,这不所有的进货出货渠道就会逐渐全由他控制了。等着瞧吧。

现在,毫无疑问Moussaoui是有点疯了。想当初他认罪的时候,是因为相信司法只是个程序而已,他无论如何会被判死刑。现在看到了希望,觉得还有拼一拼无罪的可能。人要是不理智,就真没辙了。外面仍然有大多数...[

拂轻纱
卷帘罗
歌作霏花飞作鸽
得一句话知音
流一湾水涟波
人在他乡怎无怨
望回首
茵茵故乡城郭————网络风情by雪胭————有些帖我们回得言不由衷
有些思辨我们选择欲语还休
有种误解让我们学会宽容
有种温暖使我们懂得眷念
有些欣赏我们只能默默领受
有些善意我们留作心灵的慰籍
有种感激我们无以回报
有种梦想我们且[
