Xiao Long Bao 小笼包 Challenge

This post is not a food review nor an online game. But a test to you. I received this email some time ago, then is a series of photos and then ask me a question. But I think that is too difficult, so I ask the question first, then you see the photos and tell me the answer. The question is: "how many xiao long bao are there in the photos?". I doubt anyone can give me an answer.

Yesterday firdooze said... "Cracked me up on a lazy monday aftnoon! =x", I hope this xiao long bao challenge will crack you up on a lazy tueday afternoon as well.......

You still remember the question?
Don't laugh, you still with me?
Don't scroll so fast....
Forget it, I don't think you are counting how many buns.....

So how many xiao long bao buns are there? You are not counting right? Never mind, expected........

p/s: I don't know who is she... so don't ask me....

How to easily overcome the "Access Denied" Error / Warning Message in Windows Vista

Most of the times when we try to open a few windows folder like Document and Settings in Windows Vista you may get an error message as “Access Denied”. This is a common error message in Windows Vista and there is a very simple method to overcome this error.

The reason the error message pops-up is due to the fact that you don't have enough permissions to view the contents of the folder. Well, you will need to change ownership of this folder to gain access.

Here's how you do it:

• Right Click on the Folder and Open "Properties".
  
• In the Security option select the Advanced tab and click the Edit button.
  
• Now you can easily change ownership to your account by highlighting your account and also selecting replace ownership to sub containers and apply changes.

Done. You'll have access to the folder. But the only catch here is that your account must have "Administrative" privileges to do the above operations.

China Hainan University Female Hostel Photos Case

It is reported in Zao Bao http://realtime.zaobao.com/2008/06/080627_20.shtml that in China Hainan a "teacher" university (中国海南师范大学), a female student discovered her own naked photos while surfing net. And this leads to the discover of the case that female students that stay in hostel have their photos being taken without they knowing it. About 40 girls are affected, and over 200 photos were taken.

Above are found from http://msn.myspace.cn/t/3764186.html
More photos at http://sggeratberlin.blogspot.com/

But in the first place, why those female students are walking around in the hostel without wearing clothes? I mean you should be wearing if you don't want others to see it or take photos. As today camera are very powerful. So those of us stay in HDB, is the same also, never assume others can't see you. Just like bus stop case, people can take very clear photos even from the opposite bus stop.
