Funny, I don't think I have ever heard anyone say "I love Airplane food"... and I have been flying for 40 years now.

 Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot.

Opening Soon at Jinjihu. The long-awaited Yuanrong Times Square is set to open soon in the SIP. Construction began in April 2006 as a major commercial project in the Jinji Lake commercial belt with a total constructed area of 510,000 square meters, divided into the sub-areas; offices, street blocks, life and leisure activities, and a 100,000m2 shopping center, serviced by 6 subway exits and an underground 4,000-vehicle parking lot. In addition, the venue features a water-borne bus, aerial corridors, super-large squares, and 9 thematic scenic buildings. Clocking in at 500 meters long and 32 meters wide, the Square boasts the largest LED screen in the world. The screen is 21 meters above street level and is up and running now.

When I first attended a forum, the physics forum, I was very much struck by the irresponsible nature of it. Anyone can say or do anything without any regard on the consequence on others, anyone can stay and go as they please, without saying anything about it. But this is the nature of a forum. And I want this forum be a labour of love, for lack of a better word, rather than a chore, a responsibility we have to put up with, life is hard enough as it is. Post anything you like Shan, and not post as you please. For myself I always just post breaking (for me  ) news, but the problem for me now is nothing is sufficiently breaking, and I don't have the time anymore to find breaking news. From a buddhist perspective, everything must come to an end, 生住壞滅,本來就是常事,don't worry too much about it.

 What is bots? They are trying to sell porn after viagra? Seems to have gotten the order wrong  Bots, short for robots, are automated programs that crawl the net looking for a variety of different types of site that allow posting. When they find one, they have various automated routines that submit applications to join and will send confirmations via email to confirm application. This done, they then start to post ... usually in the first topic, anything the person is trying to sell. That is why we took a holiday for a while. I have upgraded the site now so that a person must physically enter one of those distorted text key thingys that only a human can read and then I check the person's IP to find out if they are in the Russian Federation (Where they all seem to originate) and delete them. We get one or two per day with Russian Addresses. And yes, they are all for porn, Viagra and Cialis.
