Somehow, rsync dies quietly when run inside a qsub script if selinux is enabled (on a Fedora 7 system). I can by-pass this by changing the security context inside the script. However, this should be the job of torque. Anyway, make selinux permissive is the simplest way of dealing with it.
針與帆
物實為美。但是，如果不能時常自省，則容易陷於眼前物障而忘卻原有的目標。
百里霧
面對複雜的系統，我們心中不能存想要掌握一切的念頭。這很容易會讓人陷入迷霧而耗盡精力。我們只能想要去一點一點的解開在眼前、看得見的謎題。
Beneficial
Addiction is about giving up the freedom of will to instinctive impulses. What to gain are usually biological comforts. But, what to lose is the very reason for being in this world.
Source of Information
The insight of Bennett on Maxwell’s daemon shows that the information can not be easily erased. By the time symmetry of physical laws, the information can not be easily created, either.
There is this ad hoc observer in quantum mechanics that can collapse the state of a system and create information. And there is also this black hole of Hawking that seems to erase information. How are they connected?
Define Science
Science is a consistent and compressed description of our experiences. It’s easier to have consistency since unrelated things are always consistent with each other. But, it’s much harder to have compression since compressibility hinges on relationship.
風動、樹動
今天的天氣一反多日來的酷寒，有一點春風徐來味道。在戶外短暫的步行竟讓人有幾分沉醉的感覺。范仲淹在岳陽樓記中自勉要『不以物喜，不以己悲。』。但想想，在這世上有什麼不是『物』呢？而又有什麼是『己』呢？這些難道不就是我們在認定上有意無意下所作的選擇嗎？
Long Time Coming
It has been a while since the weather can be described as pleasant. The mind felt like drunken in the wind with just a small stroll outside. Just like all livings, simple cues are all that take to turn our mind and body around.
無中生有
研亦的腦中想的都是什麼樣的事情呢？她不舒服的時候會不安或哭是可以了解，但有是候還可以看到她的笑，甚至是在睡覺的時候。不知道她是想到了什麼…生物的知覺和記憶是如何形成的呢？其中有多少是遺傳下來的？而其他的又是如何建構出來的呢？
Equivalent Trade
It’s more importance to recognize equivalence in things around us than to focus on favoritism. First of all, this helps us find different solutions to one given problem thus increase the chance of resolution. Secondly, this helps us choose quickly when the scale is tilted. Besides, we don’t need to invent/learn new tricks when the old ones will do.
