麻煩大家幫忙
留下優秀的一家人

他們來自波多黎各
父母親都是名校約翰霍普金大學的電腦碩士
(Master Degree in Computer Science - Johns Hopkins University at Laurel, MD)
他們著五個孩子，到全世界學習
Diego 17歲 Paula 13 歲 Alonzo 12 歲
Felizi 8 歲 Matteo 6 歲

八月，他們到了台灣
發覺這是一個非常適合的生活環境
有好的醫療、中文學習環境、電腦產業、和超好吃的水果
九月，Diego , Paula, Alonzo進入惠文高中寄讀
他們來了之後，學校形成一個很棒的英語學習情境
台灣學生都被迫用英文跟他們互動

星期五與台北歌德學院簽訂德國「PASCH夥伴學校」時
他們三個和學校弦樂社一起合奏卡農(見影片)
非常非常有教養的一家人

然而他們11月就必須離開台灣
因為他們來台灣的第五天
得到美國總公司的通知
他們收掉波多黎各的公司
爸爸Tommy失業了
所以這幾天，他在台中接一個英文家教
但經濟仍是問題

如果台中的朋友可以提供11月4日前的短期英文、西班牙文家教工作
或是提供長期電腦工程師的工作
麻煩和Tommy聯絡
以下是他的聯絡方式及完整資歷
(願意幫他們申請工作簽證更好)
他們很願意把台灣當成第二個家

PS
覺得政府說要把英文變成第二語言
最棒的方式是吸引國外的學生進入我們的校園
在人才即國力的年代
讓優秀的國際人才留在台灣
如果在台灣就有很好的英語學習環境
我們就不用一窩蜂跑到國外

The Access database was converted to MS SQL Server database and all data was migrated successfully. He created a web based interface using the standard VA intranet look and feel. He also developed a custom interface for each of the 3 roles (CBO, VAMC and VISN). Tools were built for the administrator to view current reports, view missing reports lists, and configure many parameters in the application. The VAMC report form was heavily automated using jQuery to perform auto calculations, increasing data validation and saving time to the users.

[文法與詞彙Q&A] because, because of, due to, since, for 的區別

★★★★★★★★★★★★

同學在學習時, 常會把相同意思、用法的字放在一起學習。同時也相當依賴線上英漢字典的便利性。儘管這樣的學習很方便，但常造成單字正確意思的混淆。這樣子的做法短期內雖然可以幫助同學培養對這一連串字的模糊概念，可是會失去單字本身一些比較精確的定義和內含意義。而且這些中譯都相同的詞彙中文為母語的考生在使用上，稍微一不注意，就容易錯誤使用。

建議同學學習新的單字時，必須釐清每一個字的用法，用多種字典和文章去理解質單字的詞性、 搭配詞、和單字的字面上的意義 (denotation)及象徵性的意義 (connotation)。學習新單字的進階步驟，我建議可以透過閱讀相關議題的學術文章。從上下文的邏輯加深對單字和詞彙的認知，並把認知字彙變成應用詞彙。同時, 切記要大量反覆使用，這樣不管是在托福 (TOEFL) 雅思 (IELTS) 或SAT寫作時,避免這些錯誤影響你文章的的連貫（coherence and cohesion）、清晰（clarity）、流暢（fluency）!

★★★★★★★★★★★★

回歸主題: because、 because of、due to、 since、 for 的區別

從句子結構方面：

-because + 從屬子句
-because of + 名詞或名詞片語
-since + 從屬子句
-due to + 名詞或名詞片語
-for 通常是當介系詞，當對等連接詞時可接子句

★★★★★★★★★★★★

從幾個詞本身的意義方面：

1. because 是導致某結果的直接原因，一般是有這樣的因才有那樣的果。We didn't enjoy the day because the weather was so awful.

2. for 通常是先果後因，一般前面是猜測，後面for提供依據。for 引導的子句一般不放在句子的開頭。

It must have rained last night, for the ground is still wet.
We listened eagerly, for he brought news of our families.

3. due to 向來是形容詞，作介詞不是傳統用法，而作容詞的due to只可用在be (或is、was等be的變體)之後，例如﹕

His failure was due to his laziness.
"Due to his laziness (adjectival phrase)" is modifying "his failure."

4. because of 是複合介詞，其後接名詞、代詞、動名詞、what 從句等。*

I feel cold now because of the freezing AC.
"because of the freezing AC (adverbial prepositional phrase)" is modifying/explaining "I feel cold now."

*due to + 名詞 = because of + 名詞
In modern English, due to n. = because of n.; however, some grammar nazis may hunt you down and lecture you for hours if you commit this "mistake."

5. since 多為陳述性的事實，相當於“既然”：
Since you are busy, I will go without you.
Since the earth is round, why don't we fall off it?

[暗黑技] 如何反組譯執行檔、透過組合語言來了解軟體運作原理？
-- 使用 OllyDbg 與 IDA 這兩項除錯工具

這篇獻給版上對「破解軟體」、「駭入執行檔」這類主題有興趣的朋友！

有時我會收到私訊，詢問「我沒有原始碼，但我想得知一個執行檔的運作原理」這類問題。其實能做到這件事的，已經是「駭客」等級了。如果您打算走上這條路，有兩樣東西您非學不可：「組合語言」與「除錯器」。「除錯器」可以把 0 與 1 反轉成「組合語言」，雖然沒有 C 語言、Java 語言那麼好懂，但至少是人類勉強可以用肉眼看過後理解的。本篇除了介紹「反組譯」的流程外，還介紹兩個很棒的除錯器：OllyDbg 與 IDA。尤其是 IDA，它可以把組合語言繪製成「流程圖」的樣子，更便於理解。

順便聊一下三個名詞：「技客（Geeker）」、「駭客（Hacker）」、與「怪客（Cracker）」。三者在技術層面都一樣，都是拿人家的執行檔，以「反組譯」的方式把 0 與 1 反推回組合語言，並且從組合語言了解整個執行檔的運作原理。只是「技客」做這件事，純粹是為了增進自身功力，他了解後不會去大刀闊斧修改執行檔成另一個樣子，只把從別人那裏偷學到的技術，用於下一個專案。「駭客」則會對執行檔做點修改，再放出來提供給大家。不過這些修改大多是良善的，如：修改軟體缺陷、將某執行檔「中文化」...等等。「怪客」的行徑是三者中最惡劣的。他會為私利而修改執行檔，甚至於做出犯法的事情，如：添加病毒、破解有價軟體的序號...等等。
