interesting things about this piece of code:

It uses a timer to check retrace signal ever 2 ms. This should be a much
more efficient method than the polling (continuous checking) that I and
DirectX uses.
It reads the number of line that is being scanned when the timer is up. In

美印钞局今年发行中国鸡年纪念钞票(图文)

http://www.sina.com.cn 2004年12月16日19:06 中国广播网

美国印钞局发行的鸡年“8888”生肖吉利纪念钞
  中新网12月16日电美国印钞局为迎接华人新年的到来,今年提早推出鸡年吉利纪念钞。这是继马年、羊年、猴年后第四年发行生肖吉利钞。
  据华声报报道,这款编号以华人喜爱的8888开头的一元钞票,采用中国传统新年节日的红色包装、内有“吉祥如意,岁岁平安”等贺词,加上鸡年
图案及美国印钞局的的标记和中英文说明,在全球定量发行,因为发量低和迎合中国传统喜爱的“发发发发”意头,相信会与往年的吉利钞一样,深受华人社区的欢
迎。
  据美国《星岛日报》报道,鸡年吉利钱不是美国印钞局为华裔发行的第一套纪念钞票,第一次发行的“吉利钱”在4年前的新春期间于首都华盛顿华埠发行,因当时反应热烈,美国印钞局决定马年、羊年、猴年以及鸡年再发行此套生肖吉利钞票,以后更会发行至十二生肖。
  而发行吉利纸钞的主意是由在美国印钞局工作的两位华裔职工王正昌及吴达纯想出来的。来源:中新网 责编:肖芬

Another steal from LanguageLog.
Bibster is currently for computer science only as it uses only the ACM
ontology. But there is no reason why it can’t use the PsycInfo ontology
instead. Plus, most PsycInfo entries have Subjects and Keywords, which
can be used to map onto a semantic schema.
The appeal of P2P:

Tags: This is one strange study — finding of semantic activation in
arbitrary substrings of a word. Note that this must be a totally
visually (spelling-)based phenomenon, as there is not a "hat" in "that"
in the spoken word. The examples given all have the subword string at
the beginning of the word. I would be blown away if they […]
