First in a series "Ask UXmatters" ...."Q: We have a challenge that I’m sure is common to many software development efforts. Everyone on our team—including the user interface (UI) designer, product manager, quality assurance, developers, and documentation—wants to choose the words that show up in the user interface. We are having a really hard time naming page elements that represent business processes and objects. Language is so subjective, and we all consider ourselves experts. I’m ...

De har visat ”Rocky Balboa” på Canal Plus, och när jag ser den blir jag glad för att jag inte är filmkritiker. Då hade man suttit där och känt sig manad att påpeka att det här förstås inte är någon film som duttelidutt duttelidatt, och jämfört med ettan är den naturligtvis bludderiblatt och bludderiblätt. Som filmkritiker ska.Dessutom tycker jag mycket om Sylvester Stallone, både som skådis, manusförfattare och regissör, och jag har alltid blivit illa ...

萧克 开国上将,国防部原副部长兼军事学院院长,2008年10月24日在北京逝世,享年102岁 在外国记者笔下,中国的许多高级军事将领栩栩如生。关于萧克,有这样的描述——“一位军人学者”(美国记者尼姆·韦尔斯);“一个善于思考、有学者风度的人”(美国记者哈里森·索尔兹伯里);“思维如箭一般敏捷而尖锐,蕴藏着一种令人生畏的力量”(英国记者詹姆斯·贝特兰)。 萧克,湖南省嘉禾人。父亲为前清秀才,乡间绅士,家中有地六亩。萧克六岁入私塾,读“四书五经”;又读高等小学三年,继入县初级师范学校。1926年1月,萧克私借七块大洋作盘缠,孤身离家出走。适逢大雪,艰难步行九天,抵韶关,继转乘火车至广州。原拟报考黄埔军校,因错过时间,参加了蒋介石的宪兵第六十五辅助团。故多年后有云:“许多人说我是黄埔生,其实不然。”1927年5月,他在武汉叶挺的师里担任排级教官;当第二支北伐部队进入河北时,已当上连长。“在历时两个月的战斗中,我学习了《共产主义ABC》和《共产主义前景》。在这之前的三年时间里,我一直坚持读《向导》周报。”是时,萧克加入中国共产党。 1927年八一南昌起义时,萧克任七十一团二营八连指导员。起义失败后,萧克回家暂避数日,继而追寻朱德部队,未果;随即与好友在宜章组织起农民梭镖队,打土豪,分田地。1928年3月下旬,他率部由宜章出发,登五盖山,东进资兴龙溪洞,与毛泽东率领的三十一团不期而遇。“当时双方都打红旗,见面如见亲兄弟。大家闻知是毛泽东带的‘大红军’(我们农军对主力红军的尊称),欣喜若狂,欢呼雀跃。”1944年,萧克到达延安,毛泽东忆起当年在龙溪洞会面的情景:“你们那时有多少人?多少枪?多少梭镖?”萧克一一回答。毛颇显激动,挥手向前推曰:“揭竿而起!” 萧克将军和夫人蹇先佛 1934年7月23日,时任六军团军团长的萧克接中共中央、中革军委训令:“中央书记处及中革军委决定,六军团离开现在的湘赣苏区,转移到湖南中部去发展游击战争和创立新的苏区。”8月7日,萧克奉命率部西征。他后来回忆道,从训令看,中央对六军团实施战略转移目的并未全部透露,实际上就是要六军团作为中央红军的先遣队,为红军大规模长征探路和引路。 1936年7月5日,中央军委颁布关于组织红二方面军及干部任职命令:贺龙任总指挥,任弼时任政委,萧克任副总指挥,关向应任副政委。萧克当时年仅29岁,是红军历史上最年轻的方面军领导。 萧克喜读书,用兵甚有计谋。抗日战争时期某日,其司令部驻地被包围。天将黑,日军已近一公里。萧克下令燃亮小油灯,敲响熄灯钟,然后指挥部队分成八路,迅速由缺口处突围。日军扑进村里,家家灯明,户户屋空。萧克住处桌上摆着一部《三国演义》,翻开处正是“空城计”。 1937年5月,战火纷飞中,萧克开始创作长篇小说《罗霄军》。初稿历时约两年,又四度修改,其中两次失而复得。但还未出版,即被斥为“大毒草”。将军申辩:这只是初稿。批判者称:“要的就是初稿,初稿可以反映你的灵魂。”直至1988年,方得以《浴血罗霄》名出版,轰动文坛,1991年获第三届茅盾文学奖荣誉奖。之后,将军加入中国作家协会,介绍人为夏衍。 新中国成立后,萧克先后担任军委训练部部长,训练总监部副部长、部长,解放军军政大学校长,国防部副部长兼军事学院院长、第一政委,负责军事训练教学,以治军治学严谨著称。据说,解放军正步走的规范姿势,为萧克将军亲自制定。其晚年仍能昂首挺胸,脚背绷直踢正步。1955年,萧克被授予上将军衔。1958年,萧克将军以“教条主义错误”遭到批判,降职任国务院农垦部副部长。 将军性格耿直敢言。“文革”中,毛泽东与林彪“井冈山会师”曾被广泛宣传。萧克将军默然。有人问及,则只言朱德、陈毅与毛泽东会师。旁人提醒还有林彪,将军答:“林彪参加了南昌起义,但不是起义的领导人。那时像林彪这一级干部多得很。” 萧克与胡耀邦为旧交。抗日战争中,萧任晋察冀军区副司令员,胡任属下四纵队政委。胡耀邦任党中央总书记时,有人对将军言:“耀邦是你的老下级,应该去叙叙旧。”将军对曰:“不去,不去,没什么事去干啥?”其时萧克虽与耀邦常于会议上见面,但从无单独交谈。耀邦下台后,将军始与之往,并送长篇小说《浴血罗霄》。胡耀邦赋诗回萧克:“寂寞沙场百战身,青史盛留李广名。夜度将军罗霄曲,清香伴我到天明。” 萧克古稀之年始习书法,讲究以“心正,身正,笔正,纸正”为标准姿势。离休后笔耕不辍,除主编《南昌起义》《秋收起义》,还出版了《萧克回忆录》《朱毛红军侧记》等作品。将军晚年担任中华炎黄文化研究会会长,主持《中国文化通志》《中国大百科全书》等大型著作编撰,于中国文化事业建设不遗余力。■ 作者为广州市文联专职副主席,著有《开国将军轶事》

Sega has finally revealed the heavily rumored Genesis pack that will feature 40 games that were previously released on the old system. The retro game collection will not only include the original games like Sonic, Ecco and Shinobi, but will display them in 720p for anyone that owns an HDTV. Which is fantastic, because anyone who has played an old game on a ‘newer’ TV would know they look like crap. Sega also announced the ...

Amid all the innovation on news sites tonight, there are a wealth of live video streams from which to choose. So many, in fact, that you might as well ditch your television and load up all the major networks on your computer. The video quality isn’t as good, but the experience is better. We tried to create the ultimate Election Night viewing screen to demonstrate how the line between TV and the Internet has evaporated. ...
