癮科學:聚合物與食物安全-ZT

人類有種奇怪的習性,就是喜歡一桿子打番一船人。特別是在碰到不了解的「危險物品」的時候更是容易將同類的東西全部一視同仁地看做洪水猛獸。塑膠製的食物容器就是這當中的一個例子 -- 最近因為有實驗研究發現部份塑膠盛裝食物的時候會滲入有毒物質,導致不少人人心惶惶,連食物要怎麼裝都不知道了。

國家地理雜誌的 Green Guide 有鑑於此,特地整理出了一篇文章,詳列哪些塑膠安全,哪些要少用,哪些最好不要用。這裡也轉給大家參考 ^^。

[圖片來源:Popular Science] 聚對苯二甲酸乙二酯(PETE 或 PET)
名字聽起來很厲害,其實就是一般人常說的「保特瓶」(保特瓶其實就是英文 PET bottle 的翻譯)。保特瓶的材質本身沒有危險,但因為 PET 的結構並不緊密,在縫隙中可能會藏有之前使用時留下來的糖分和隨之而來的細菌,因此並不建議使用超過一次(就是不要當水壺用的意思啦)。

高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)和低密度聚乙烯(LDPE)
聚乙烯在食物保存而言,是最安全的材料之一。不僅沒有任何已知的有毒添加物,而且回收也相對容易,大多數的回收廠都有回收聚乙烯的能力。聚乙烯應用超級廣泛,瓶子、罐子、夾鏈袋、裝蚵仔麵線的那種透明塑膠袋都是。

聚氯乙烯(PVC)
危險,非常危險!氯乙烯這個聚乙烯的主要材料本身就是個很危險的有毒物質,有致癌的可能,再加上聚氯乙烯裡常常有各種添加物、增塑劑,對健康造成不同程度的危害。更慘的是,燃燒 PVC 會產生氯化氫、氯氣和惡名昭彰的有毒物戴奧辛,因此世界各地的環保組織都在建議廢除 PVC 的使用。

聚丙烯(PP)
聚丙烯在化學結構上和聚乙烯類似,因此也是安全的塑膠,大部份的特百惠食品容器都是 PP 或 LDPE製造的,但也有少數是危險的 PC(聚碳酸酯),買之前要看清楚啊!

聚苯乙烯(PS)
聚苯乙烯英文原名Polystyrene,中文依發音翻成「保麗龍」。保麗龍的危險主要來自於它的原料苯乙烯是有毒的,而且聚苯乙烯的化學穩定性比較差,受熱時有可能滲透有毒物質到食物裡。買保麗龍餐盒裝的食物回家後,最好立即換到其他容器內。

聚碳酸酯(PC)、聚乳酸(PLA)等
所有在塑膠分類前六類之外的,全部都分在第七類(怎麼,不會以為前面的數字是小薑亂寫吧 XD)。在第七類的眾多塑膠中,聚碳酸酯和聚乳酸是比較常見拿來裝食物的材質。聚碳酸酯前面說過了,是一種會釋放類荷爾蒙化合物的危險材質,而一般來拿做「環保塑膠袋」的聚乳酸則是安全又分解迅速的好朋友。

所以簡單來說,下次買塑膠容器,記得找到塑膠分類回收標誌看一下。如果是「2」、「4」、「5」的話是安全的,「1」最好不要用超過一次,「3」、「6」是危險的,而「7」則要看情況而定。更加頭昏腦漲了嗎?真的搞不清楚,也不想管了的話,那就買回來的東西全部用玻璃容器裝吧!反正人類用玻璃用了幾千年了,也沒聽說有什麼大問題(扣掉偶爾一次的鉛中毒),果然是最好的解決方案啦!當然,這樣又變成要面對不小心摔碎的玻璃...

Collection of Web Developer Tools, per Browser

按浏览器分类的WEB开发插件
 

With so many browser out there in the wild, working as a Web Developer certainly is not an easy job these days. Thankfully, over the last years, decent tools have been developed by bright people that make developing and debugging of code easier for the developer. But sometimes, it is not easy to keep track which tools are at a Developer’s disposal (and which are actually usable). The following article seeks to list the best tools available and quickly describing how to activate/install/use them.

To give a quick overview of the tools per browser, please refer to the table below.

Browser Available Tools (main area of debugging in parenthesis)
Firefox
IE6, IE7
Opera
Safari

 

Web Developer Toolbar

If you can only pick one extension to install for debugging and developing web sites in Firefox, it has to be the Web Developer Toolbar. A real gift for web developers, cause it consists of a myriad of tools ranging from Cookie related tasks (disable, delete, view their content) to CSS, display of line guides, ruler and much too many to mention. Go and install it now.

Firebug

If you are using Firefox, Firebug is probably the first or second extension you should install (in addition to Web Developer Toolbar). Firebug lets you inspect, monitor and edit HTML, CSS and JavaScript live on any web page. In addition to that, it provides a script console which makes JavaScript development much easier. The console object offers a huge load of options that lets you output code to the console and debug it. Michael Sync provides a tutorial that explains these options in further detail. Also included in Firebug is a bandwidth monitor to track which resources on your site consume how much bandwidth. A must.

Firebug Lite

Firebug Lite is a pure JavaScript implementation of the above mentioned Firebug for browsers other than Firefox. To make things even easier, a bookmarklet can be drag & dropped into the navigation bar which then puts in the required JavaScript code and runs Firebug Lite “on the fly”.

Modify Headers

Modify Headers is a useful extension to add, modify and filter out HTTP request headers. As stated on the web site, you could fake a request from a mobile device or an Ajax request.

Poster

The Poster extension is a developer tool for interacting with web services and other web resources that lets you make HTTP requests, set the entity body, and content type. This allows you to interact with web services and inspect the results.

XRAY & MRI

XRAY and MRI are bookmarklets for Internet Explorer 6+, and Webkit and Mozilla based browsers (including Safari, Firefox, Camino or Mozilla). XRAY can be used to inspect the box model for any element on the page, whereas with MRI you can test and play with selectors.

Firefox Accessibility Extension

The Mozilla/Firefox Accessibility Extension makes it easier for people with disabilities to view and navigate web content. Developers can use the extension to check their use of structural and styling markup that support functional web accessibility.

IE Developer Toolbar

Microsofts Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar is, when it comes to DOM inspection and CSS debugging, the best tool out there for IE debugging. Due to the high market share and flaws in the whole rendering model (like hasLayout), debugging IE can’t be ignored but can become a nightmare pretty quickly without the toolbar. It still is a bit clunky and far less slick than Firebug, but it helps to tame the IE beast.

Web Accessibility Toolbar

The Web Accessibility Toolbar (version for Opera) offers functionality that not only lets you check how accessible your site is (or rather might be, cause machines can’t really check how accessible something is for humans), but also provide a bunch of other features like e.g. validation links or resizing of the browser window.

Visual Web Developer Express Edition

As JavaScript debugging is not included in the IE Developer Toolbar, you need a different tool to do that. You can either use the Microsoft Script Debugger (mentioned below) or download (for free) the much heavier Visual Web Developer Express Edition. Bernie explains how to use it to debug errors in your JavaScript code on your web site.

You can also use Microsoft Script Editor, which is, unfortunately, not really free, but rather included in the Microsoft Office 2003 bundle and not available as a separate download. Because of that, I am not including it in this list, but Jonathan Boutelle offers some instructions how to use it for debugging.

Microsoft Script Debugger

You can download this MS debugger from their download section for free and there is even a documentation on MSDN. It provides less functionality than the Visual Web Developer Express Edition, but still helps you to deal with more or less cryptic error messages like “object required” that IE normally comes up with. Jake Howlett describes how to debug JavaScript using Microsoft Script Debugger at codestore. As a sidenote and to be safe, after installing the Script Debugger, restart your machine to be able to use it next time you start IE.

Opera developer tools

On their developer site, Opera mentions two developer tools, Opera Developer Console and DOM Snapshot, as some kind of bookmarklets for their browser version 9 and above. From the screenshots presented, they both look very promising. Unfortunately, I could not get them to work in version 9.10.

Opera Error Console

The error console is a built-in feature of the Opera browser and can be activated going to Tools > Advanced > Error console. A window pops up which displays any kind of error or warning messages related to the currently loaded web page. They can also be filtered by certain categories (e.g. HTML, CSS, XML, JavaScript). You can find a detailed article about using the Error Console as a debugging tool in the developer section of the Opera Web site.

Opera Dragonfly

Dragonfly attempts to bring Firebug-like debugging functionality to Opera’s latest 9.5 browser.

Safari Debug Menu

Safari’s debug capabilities are kind of poor, but at least there is a way to display a JavaScript console (similar to Firebug and Opera Error Console) to make JavaScript debugging a bit easier. In the developer section of the Apple Web site, there is a FAQ article that explains how to enable the hidden debug menu. On Mac OSX, open a terminal and type:

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

On Windows, use a text editor to add the following to the Preferences.plist file located at C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari\Preferences.plist:

<key>IncludeDebugMenu</key>
<true/>

In Safari 1.3 and above, you can now access the new Debug Menu and check the “Log JavaScript Exceptions” menu item. Then selecting “Show JavaScript Console” will open the console to log JavaScript exceptions.

Web Inspector

To activate the Safari Web Inspector (available in Safari 3 and above) on Mac OS, type the following in a terminal window:

defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitDeveloperExtras -bool true

On Windows, open WebKitPreferences.plist in Documents and Settings\*Your User Name*\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari and add this key:

<key>WebKitDeveloperExtras</key>
<true/>

If you then quit your Safari and restart it, you should have an “Inspect Element” option in the context menu.

Professional Web Design Forums - 转贴

Web design-related forums are a place where you interact with other designers, exchange ideas or discuss your first drafts. When you have a problem, you can post the issue, and then receive feedback on possible design or coding solutions from community members. This interaction is a great way to establish contacts and build relationships. Forums are used for networking and marketing purposes. They are practical places to solve problems and can serve as a form of social diversion.

What is a good forum?

As designers and developers, we choose a forum depending on its ability to approach our needs. In best case the forum should be large enough, moderators should be cooperative and the posts should be responded quickly. There is nothing worse than posting a thread on a forum and no one replies to it.

In forums, users develop a reputation over time. The forum software can be used to track this. Some forums allow users to rate each other as well. Also, the more you participate and the more professional input you bring to the community, the more other members will recognize you and respect your opinion.

The quality of the community is reflected by the level and depth of responses from community members. How well the forum is run has a direct impact on our ability to use it. The forum needs good moderation and clear guidelines. Even the design of the forum plays a role in our decision to use it. After all, every forum has its own personality.

The diversity of content on forums is immense. Often, advice takes the form of Q&A-discussions, but it can also take the form of articles, and tutorials as well. Threaded discussions are a huge part of forums, but some forums have areas that operate differently — marketplaces are an example, or design showcases.

Wordpress

Content Management Systems often have great forums for web designers. E.g. if you’re a Wordpress user, you may frequent the Wordpress Forums. There you can pose installation questions, share your recent themes, extensions, modifications and plugins and ask for a help in building a WordPress-template.

The type of career path you’ve chosen may lead you to forums as well. If you’re a freelancer then you may frequent forums such as the Freelance Switch Forum.

While such types of forums are of use to a web designer, there are forums specifically designed for working web design professionals. We’ve compiled a list below. We’d like to hear your experiences with these or other web design forums.

说两句奥运会 - 转贴

V:作者言论不代表本人想法,仅部分赞同

http://woooh.com/2008/07/blog-post_25.html

不知道从什么时候开始,我已经渐渐偏倒于对北京奥运会的反感、反对和温和抨击者之一了——我自己如是定义自己的偏向。

但是昨天有两个触动让我想起一些事情。

一个是,土豆的一个孩子开心地说要去看奥运会的比赛,并且已经搞定了一张门票。正在我心里就准备嗤之以鼻的时候,他的下一句话让我忽然清醒许多。这位出身于八十年代后期的同学说,他只购买女性竞技的入场票,对男生竞技不感兴趣。

另外一个是,老婆Haohui晚上带回她公司里的一些产品样品,一些笔袋,水性笔之类的纪念品,完全是只能看不中用的东西,在我看来无非是乘着奥运会,以一个妖艳的人形图标赚些钱的东西——倒也无可厚非,不过在我照例想要嗤之以鼻的时候,我翻到这些纪念品上一张“正品说明书”。这个薄薄的说明书上印着红色的几个字:“Beijing Olympics”。

我反复抚摸着这几个字。我忽然想起,当年,当我们知道,我们即将承办这届奥运会的时候,那么多人的惊喜。

当我们眼睁睁看着奥运会在各个城市依次举办,汉城奥运会优美的主题曲,亚特兰大奥运会令人惊奇的商业运作,中国特选的运动员跟随着规定的轨迹为中国争得艰难的颜面。

如果西方世界不把奥运会主办权交给中国(在中国,任何一个城市都是国家和民族的一个部分并且代表了中国的全部),我们会认为西方国家在歧视中国,排挤中国,延续着殖民主义和帝国主义时代的思想,我们会埋怨我们的政府不去主动进去,开放胸怀,就像它歌儿里唱的那样,希望她的“大门常打开”。

好了,于是,中国在自己的积极争取下,带着千年枷锁,百年战乱,半个世纪的封闭下,以一个老人的身心,和新生的世界诸国交流和沟通,就像是一个120岁的老人要打入一堆18岁青年男女组成的俱乐部那样,一切重新开始,带着自己的记忆,学习他们的新的规则、语言、心理和面向新世界的价值观。

终于,我们拿到了奥运会的举办权。我们那个时候,大家都是如何做想的呢?开心吗?我很开心,我很骄傲,我很自豪。但这个心态,确实也像是一个二十多快三十的人,和自己的侄儿侄女的小团队一起玩过家家那样地尴尬,也带着一点点不老的开心。

然后呢?——然后,事情,怎么会变得今天这个样子呢。

西方社会不让我们举办奥运会,我们(的政府)指责别人敌视、歧视、排挤我们,我们就像一个孤僻的奇怪小孩,带着羡慕和孤芳自赏的最后一点骄傲站在那个圈子外面,明明想成为其中的一个开朗大方的带头孩子,但是嘴里却又要说着不屑。

于是那群人终于说,进来吧,我们一起玩。现在站在圈子边上的人嘴里却老是有意无意透露出的举止是,时时刻刻提防和害怕着别人借此机会再来一个耳光或者一拳。

曾经在小的时候受过欺负的孩子,应该能够理解我上面描述的这样的心态吧?

但是现在,不管如何,无论如何,这都是奥运会啊。
不管如何,都是头一次在中国——这个极其老朽但又仿佛刚刚褪去稚气的小男孩——这里,做一件我们从来没有做过的事情。

Beijing Olympics。
这是一段长达两千多年的纠缠,眷恋和说不清楚的爱恨情仇吧。
从两千五百多年前,随着东周的衰亡,百家争鸣的春秋战国奠定了接下来两千年的中国文明开始,那个时候,在世界的另外一端,爱情海岸的潮汐冲刷和积淀了西方文明的基础架构,整个世界的轴心熔铸成型,开始加速转动。

潮起,夕落。
星起,汉落。


秦汉隋唐宋元明清。
马其顿罗马拜占庭威尼斯不列颠。

总之。不是一两句话可以说清楚的事情吧。
然而,现在,两个文明在过去的数百年中,在过去的三十年里,或快,或慢地,相互试探,相互认识,观察,有时候双方斗斗嘴,也有时候拳打脚踢一番。

现在,他们之间的面孔是如此接近。

接下来会发生什么事情?
我愿意回到在一开始提到的那个场景——那个出生在上个世纪末,还不完全是90后的那个男孩的心态来猜测这个未来。

他们没有那么多苦难的历史拖累,也不在乎过去半个世纪或者几个世纪中那些拉拉扯扯的藤蔓和勾连。

这是用我们辛勤劳作的赋税,和通过对许多民众的掠夺和惊扰举办而成的奥运会,没错。
但是,这不是属于我们的奥运会。
这是属于他们的奥运会。

与其说一个带着苍老岁月的年轻孩子这种怪异的比喻,毋宁说是从这个古老家庭严厉教养下最新一代长成的小男孩吧。

那个深居里屋,已然衰老的一家之长,还心存着过去一段岁月疼痛的记忆,父辈们在穷困时受到欺凌的故事。

于是这个家长按照传统——没错,就是从几千年留下来的古老传统——摆足了场面,拿出了家里最好的食物,光鲜的衣裳,洁净的餐具——发誓要挣回祖辈的脸面,而父亲和父亲的父亲传说下来的家训言尤在耳。

虽然家里的里屋还在漏雨,厨房的下水道经常被堵,空气里还弥漫着老家具日渐朽烂的气息,但是这个家长按照他了解和知道的所有常识,维持着他作为家长和这个家(在他心目里)应有的体面和尊严——也是他从小收到祖辈们教育传承下来的所有知识——更是他唯一知道的东西。

然而,这些都不重要。
这不是他心目中的盛会,也不是他想象中千年终于一相逢的盛大典礼,他一举一动,一言一行遵行着他心目里面自己的形象和应该做的事情。

只是这家里有一个看上去才十四五岁,稚气刚脱少年正盛的小男孩,他面对的将是完全未知的岁月和世界,他的成年期还未到来。

这好玩的比赛每四年就要举办一次,而这一次,就在自己家。就像是春节的除夕大餐总在几个叔叔婶婶的家里轮流坐庄一样,这一次在自己家里坐庄,会更好玩。

他只是想看美眉们之间的比赛,看她们青春的面庞,白皙的颈部,丰满的手臂,柔软的身躯和带着香味的酮体,顾盼的风姿。

他带着几分开心,几分憧憬,几分恍惚,几分冲动,仅此而已。

再过几年,他十七岁。

推荐:十五个世界最顶级的技术类博客网站- zt

 

2008-07-11 08:52:12 来源:狂奔的蜗牛 作者:suny 【 评论:0

在互联网世界当中,博客网站的种类是多种多样的。它们中的一些旨在教导、帮助人们交流协作、激发灵感,并拓展我们的思维空间。而另一些博客则侧重于激发我们的情感,让我们感到愤怒,或是让我们开怀大笑。《电脑世界(Computerworld)》网站的编辑们将这些优秀博客网站搜集整理在了一起,为我们提供了一份最受他们所钟爱的博客网站的列表。最后,我们根据这些博客自身的信息广度、新闻价值、网站设计、更新频率以及娱乐价值,将这份50多位候选人的大名单做了进一步的缩减,最终得到了这份15个世界最顶级的技术类博客网站排行榜。

不错,这份排名的确包含了很大的主观成分,但是我们认为它是有史以来发表过的此类博客网站的最棒的排行榜之一。这份名单所涵盖的范围非常广泛:从严肃的技术性新闻,到对电脑游戏测评和评论,再到新潮消费者电子产品介绍。我们同时也在本份名单的最后增加了一些“荣誉提名”,因为这次排名的竞争是如此的激烈,让我们感到很难取舍。

当然了,肯定不会是每一个人都赞同我们的观点。如果你认为有某个博客网站非常的优秀,而又没有出现在我们的“前15名排行榜“中的话,请在本文后面的评论当中留言与我们分享。

就像可口可乐和百事可乐的关系一样,小玩意儿(Engadget)和小发明(Gizmodo)就像是一对孪生兄弟。它也是专注于技术产品相关的介绍、评论,有时候也会有充满激情的演讲和辩论。小玩意儿(Engadget)上充满了摄制精美的产品图片,而它网站的编辑们还有着广泛的内部渠道,可以在新潮的技术产品还处于先期或早期发布阶段,就可以一睹它们的芳容。同样的,小玩意儿(Engadget)上面也会刊登一些真正非常有趣的手工制作的玩意儿。但是,我们更喜欢小发明(Gizmodo)一点。

12) Feedster

www.feedster.com/feedpapers/Technology

一切都是那么的水到渠成。这个网站汇集了各种各样的博客站点,包括技术类、体育类、名人八卦、美食、个人体验等等等等——只要你能想到的,它都拥有。同时,它还提高了卓越的站内搜索功能,以及一个非常酷的RSS新闻阅读软件。它在技术新闻里面加入了非常出色的幽默感。这真是一个各方面都很优秀的网站。

13) 永远的骇客(Forever Geek)

http://forevergeek.com

永远的骇客(Forever Geek)是一个非常棒的网站,它有无数的博客文章,覆盖了多种多样的话题,从技术,到大众新闻,到好莱坞电影,再到电脑游戏测评。这绝对是一个骇客的天堂。假如你想要了解即将上映的好莱坞巨片《变形金刚》的最新消息,或是阅读一篇有关于Photoshop CS3软件的测评,这就是你应该去的地方。

14)粗鲁的文字(Rough Type)

www.roughtype.com

Nick Carr(笔名“Does IT Matter?”)撰写的一个思想锐利的博客,专门讨论与技术相关的各种各样的话题和趋势。他的文章文笔优美,让人阅读起来津津有味,但是同时也会常常激烈那些被批评的公司、人物、技术和政策。

15) 自助餐(Smorgasbord)

www.smorgasbord.net

作为一个为那些喜爱数码产品和电脑游戏的骇客们所专门打造的站点,这个网站同样也提供最新的有关于政治和名人的新闻。这种娱乐价值和技术新闻的战略组合,让自助餐(Smorgasbord)跻身于最优秀者的行列。

荣誉提名:

1) 苹果(Apple)非官方博客 (TUAW)

www.tuaw.com

TUAW集结了许多独立的博客——这些独立的博客虽然和苹果公司官方没有正式的关系,但是这并不意味着他们的信息不充分、意见没有影响力。这是一个了解苹果公司相关新闻的最好来源。

它没有跻身前15名的唯一原因是它太过于专注于一个单一话题。

2) Elliot Back 的博客(Elliot Back's blog)

http://elliottback.com/wp

作为自封的“计算机科学家”,Elliot对于每一件自己所关注的事情大放厥词,从为什么XML标准很糟,到泰坦尼克号的旅客名单,再到对好莱坞巨片《斯巴达300勇士》的影评。这个网站的内容多种多样,但是安排巧妙。此外,他还会提供一些非常棒的小贴士,比如如何增进系统的性能,以及屏蔽垃圾邮件。

3) Ed Foster 的牢骚录(Ed Foster's Gripelog)

www.gripe2ed.com/scoop

时下有一类新的博客网站涌现了出来,它们专门抨击和曝光那些侵害消费者权益的公司和产品,诸如数码产品恶劣的售后服务、粗糙的产品外观或是其他诸如此类的一些问题,但是Ed Foster可谓是这一行的开山鼻祖。看看他最新所关注的一些话题:有缺陷的DRM系统、plasma品牌电视机的质保陷阱,以及糟糕的移动电话服务质量。

4) Gadgetell

www.gadgetell.com

假如你想要了解最新的数码产品、电玩游戏新闻,以及其他相关的一些消息,这是一个很棒的网站。

5) 4sysops

http://4sysops.com

它为Windows系统的管理员们提供了非常优秀的小提示和操作教程。

为人父母从来都不会太容易

本来今天还在自豪的宣称已经把宝宝的昼夜调整好了,,夜里她只管吃了睡,,
 
开开心心的过了一天,,没想到临到下班的时候,突然接到家里电话,,说老婆今天突发高烧39.5度,,
 
紧张死了,,赶紧冲去医院,,医生讲是乳管堵塞细菌感染所致,,1周不能喂母乳了,并且还要吊三天盐水,,
 
还好老婆的姐姐陪着,,我赶紧回家去把冰箱里的奶都倒掉,,
 
哎,,,又要重新让宝宝适应奶粉了,,,
 
趁着宝宝刚睡,老婆还没回来,,上来发一篇,,真的,,做父母真的好不容易啊.
