獵殺代理人

  看起來跟攻殼有點像的電影,每個人都有一個機器義體,只是在劇情上沒有太出乎意料的鋪陳。機器人刻意修的很漂亮,表情也比較僵硬,對比人類臉上的皺紋。

  劇情上也免不了有漏洞,人類的獨立區就很奇怪,用了代理人就不算人類嗎= =,而且最後也不管什麼協議,直接直昇機殺進去,那你以前幹嘛不坦克開進去就好了,還讓他們獨立作啥?

  結局只能說某家公司一定發了,全部的機器人修起來一定賺翻天阿,只是電腦燒了好像也無法讓人們不去繼續使用代理人,對一般人來說,買隻新的或是修一修不就好了。

衝刺啦

  禮物終於送出去了,只是現在還是很忐忑,因為沒有收到看完後的回應,不知道感覺如何,哀~。不知道是因為真的是很忙,還是有其他原因,很難連絡上她,總是告訴自己她剛好沒空,好煩阿,這樣以後怎麼辦。一邊畫圖、寫程式,一邊胡思亂想,感覺我快人格分裂了= =。

  這個禮物真是花了好多心血,結果還要努力裝飾的讓它不像炸彈,另外損失記憶卡一張,都怪自己疏忽大意,忘在小七裡,還好我不玩自拍,不然就精采了。

  這週六準備去南科面試,希望有好結果,又不知道這是不是自己想要的工作,感覺很矛盾。一直問自己想要做什麼,卻又沒有頭緒。

  在此要感謝陳彥志大力捐助PSP一台,讓我在這沒有網路的時間能打發時間,也多了一個玩具,就來研究研究它可以變出哪些花樣。

好亂阿

  這個周末終於將禮物做好了,沒想到顯示器的選擇讓我吃大苦頭,還一度以為我真的要做白工了,苦思加上死馬當活馬醫,還是讓我解決了訊號重複的問題,真是鬆了一口氣。禮物做是做出來了,要怎樣送似乎是個更大的難題,= ="。

  要恭喜詹公Cola登出國軍Online,雖然馬上要再打開舊角色"研究牲",不過退伍總是爽啦,哈哈。週末去台北小小聚餐,有一段時間沒見面了,大家也陸續畢業,我也要再加把勁了><"。腦中浮現人生的長路上,只有孤單的背影,好慘,繼續往前跑吧。

  最近都忙著做禮物,好多事都丟一旁,之後新聞還是要繼續翻譯,也要準備繪圖證照,還要努力追求自己的幸福,結訓前要寫完每台乙級機台的程式,就是這些目標,還有一個月,GO!!

綠光畢業前一周

  從三月底到今天,沒有想到一個餐廳的工讀生職位,可以讓我遇到這麼多朋友、形形色色的人,每週末與這些七年級末段甚或八年級生共事,真是很有趣的事,讓人感到很有活力,讓我從職訓的沉悶中暫時逃離。

  接下來開始要著手於找工作的問題,另外也有一點私事要馬上處理,希望可以順利,祝我好運吧!

Barrichello returns Brawn to winning ways in Spain

Rubens Barrichello had said all year that he will win for Brawn GP, and he finally came good in Valencia with a controlled performance that brought him home just over two seconds ahead of McLaren's Lewis Hamilton.

Rubens Barrichello已經説他會替Brawn GP拿到勝利說了一整年,他終於在瓦倫西亞實現諾言,一切盡在掌握中的衝線,領先McLaren車隊的Lewis Hamilton兩秒奪冠。

The world champion led at the start as expected, from McLaren team mate Heikki Kovalainen, both using their KERS to keep Barrichello in third place. Behind them, Kimi Raikkonen thrust up to fourth, also using the Ferrari's KERS button. Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel went with them after seeing off Brawn GP’s Jenson Button, whose race soon collapsed with tyre graining issues which sent him backwards early on.

現役世界冠軍Lewis Hamilton的起跑跟預期中的一樣不錯,在隊友Heikki Kovalainen掩護下,兩台車皆使用KERS,讓Barrichello維持在第三位。在他們之後的是一樣用上KERS,衝到第四的Kimi Raikkonen。Red Bull車隊的Sebastian Vettel跑在第六,Jenson Button則遇到輪胎粒化的問題而速度大減。

Hamilton led until his first pit stop on Lap 16, leaving Kovalainen to take over on the 17th, when he too stopped. Thereafter Barrichello ran another three laps before refuelling. That put his Brawn ahead of Kovalainen for the middle stint. Behind them, Raikkonen had no trouble keeping fourth ahead of Williams’ Nico Rosberg and Renault’s Fernando Alonso, leaving Mark Webber to fight with Button.

Hamilton一直領先到第16圈進站,由Kovalainen在第17圈進站前繼續領先,Barrichello又多跑了3圈才進站加油,如此在中段後Brawn GP便跑在Kovalainen之前。Raikkonen則一直順利守在第四位,跑在Williams車隊的Nico Rosberg和Renault車隊的Fernando Alonso之前,Mark Webber則在後面和Button纏鬥。

Hamilton had a lead of 3.6s over Barrichello by Lap 36, but when he pitted again a lap later McLaren did not have his front tyres ready after a late request to him to do one more lap came just as he was about to enter the pits. That delay proved costly - though the team insisted it didn't cost them the win - and when Barrichello pitted from the lead on Lap 40 he was able to resume ahead of Hamilton.

在第36圈時,Hamilton還領先Barrichello有3.6秒,車隊在他進站時才指示他要再多跑一圈,所以當Hamilton再次進站時,車隊人員還沒準備好他的前輪,經過這樣的延遲就要付出代價,即使車隊認為這不是他們沒有取勝的原因,之後在第40圈時,Barrichello在領先狀況進站後出站還是繼續領先Hamilton。

The Briton kept the pressure on Barrichello all the way, but could not close the gap by more than a couple of tenths each lap until the Brazilian backed off right at the end, and it came down from 3.9s to 2.3s. Raikkonen jumped Kovalainen on the second stop, and the ‘other’ Finn had his hands full holding off an aggressive Rosberg in the final laps.

之後Hamilton繼續向Barrichello施壓,但是每圈消掉0.1秒還是不能拉近差距,到Barrichello衝過終點時,差距從3.9秒縮短到2.3秒。Raikkonen則在第二次進站超越了Kovalainen,Kovalainen 則在最後一圈全力守住了來勢洶洶的Rosberg。

Webber also lost out on the second stop, crucially dropping behind both Button and BMW Sauber’s Robert Kubica. Thus seventh place behind Alonso was enough for Button to increase his championship lead by two points to 72. He was the fastest man on the track for a long time in the closing laps on Bridgestone’s super-soft tyres, until they went off and he had to abandon his pursuit of the Renault. Kubica hung on ahead of Webber to score the final point.

Webber也在第二次進站失去位置,落在Button和BMW Sauber車隊的Robert Kubica之後。Button排在Alonso後面拿到第七名取得兩分積分,使他的積分累積到了72分。他使用普利司通的超軟胎在比賽尾聲做出了最快圈速,並且直到比賽結束前才放棄追擊前方的雷諾賽車。Kubica則在Webber前方拿下最後的一分。

It was a tough day for Red Bull, with Vettel retiring with his second engine failure of the weekend on Lap 24, having already made one refuelling stop and one unscheduled stop after a problem with the fuel rig.

對Red Bull車隊來說是個艱困的一天,Vettel在第24圈引擎縮缸退賽,這是本季第二次,在縮缸前已經加過一次油和一次因為加油設備的問題而再次的進站。

Further back, Adrian Sutil claimed 10th for Force India ahead of Nick Heidfeld in the second BMW Sauber and Giancarlo Fisichella in the second Force India. The Toyotas were 13th and 14th, with Timo Glock bettering Button’s fastest lap right at the end. Romain Grosjean’s debut for Renault yielded only 15th place, not helped by damaging his nose on the opening lap and needing an unscheduled stop as a result, and later a half spin.

Force India車隊的Adrian Sutil以第十名完賽,領先BMW Sauber的Nick Heidfeld和自己的隊友Giancarlo Fisichella,Toyota車隊以十三、十四名完賽,Timo Glock最後更打破Button的最快圈速。Romain Grosjean的首次上場,為Renault車隊拿到15名,他在首圈就撞壞鼻翼而要進站一次更換,之後又打滑一次。

Jaime Alguersuari looked less convincing than he had in Hungary on his way to 16th for Toro Rosso, while team mate Sebastien Buemi ran into trouble after he damaged his front wing in a brush with Glock on the opening lap and had to stop for a replacement. Later he spun in Turn 12 on Lap 43 and could not continue.

Jaime Alguersuari本站表現不如匈牙利站,他為Toro Rosso車隊拿下十六名,他的隊友Sebastien Buemi在起跑時和Glock撞掉了前翼,必須進站更換,之後在43圈第12彎時打滑出去而且無法繼續比賽。

Luca Badoer’s return to Formula One racing was unimpressive. He ran down the back all day, let Grosjean overtake him as they left the pits, and then got a drive-through penalty for crossing the white line on the exit. He might have achieved his ambition of a finish, but he did so in 17th place. The only other classified car behind him was Kazuki Nakajima’s Williams, who was delayed by a left rear tyre failure and then pitted for good just before the flag.

Luca Badoer回到F1的首場比賽另人失望,整天都跑在後面,一起出PIT後讓Grosjean超越,之後因為壓到PIT白線而遭到"得來速"加時處罰,他或許達到完賽的目標,但是他拿到第十七名,唯一在他後面完賽的車手只有Williams的Kazuki Nakajima,他因為左後輪爆胎而被延遲,之後在出旗號前進站。

So Brawn increased their constructors’ championship lead over Red Bull, 126 points to 98.5, and Barrichello vaulted back to second place in the drivers' with 54 points to Webber’s 51.5.

本站Brawn GP的積分來到126分,領先98.5分的紅牛車隊,而Barrichello回到車手積分榜的第二名,以54分領先Webber的51.5分。

Barrichello's win marked the 100th by a Brazilian driver, and fittingly he dedicated it to Felipe Massa, who had advised him on racing lines only last week. It was also the 250th race for the McLaren Mercedes partnership, and Bridgestone’s 150th victory. And it left the title fight wide open as the paddock heads to Belgium next week.

Barrichello這次勝利也是巴西車手的累積100次勝利,Barrichello將這次勝利獻給Massa,Massa在上週給了Barrichello一些建議。這也是McLaren和Mercedes合作的第250場比賽,和普利司通的第150場勝利,這場比賽也讓頭銜之爭更為激烈,大家更關注下週的比利時站。

McLaren: we want to keep Kovalainen, but he’ll have to improve

While Lewis Hamilton’s stunning victory in Hungary put the reigning world champion - and a recovering McLaren - back in centre stage, Hamilton’s team mate Heikki Kovalainen is yet to make a real impression this season. With five retirements and only three point-scoring finishes, Kovalainen is languishing 12th in the standings - a full 19 points adrift of the tally he had after 10 races in 2008.

正當Lewis Hamilton在匈牙利站令人吃驚的勝利將自己和麥拉倫車隊重新拉回到中游的位置,而他的隊友Heikki Kovalainen在本季則還沒有驚人的表現。五次退賽而且目前只拿到三分,Kovalainen在積分榜上排第十二位,跟他在08賽季同樣十場比賽後差了19分。

For a driver without a confirmed seat for next season, it must be a worrying time. And while team boss Martin Whitmarsh is full of praise for the Finn, he also revealed that he will be looking for an improvement in his driver’s results over the coming Grands Prix, if the 27 year-old is to keep his race drive.

對一個下一季的職位還不確定的車手來說,現在一定是要擔心的時候了。並且車隊經理Martin Whitmarsh在鼓勵這位芬蘭人之餘,也透露他如果想要保有現在的車手位置,必須要在接下來的比賽中提升他的表現。

“Heikki, as a team player, is doing a fantastic job,” explained Whitmarsh during a Vodafone McLaren Mercedes 'Phone-In' session. “By his own evaluation he hasn’t raced as well as he would have liked, and we would have liked him to, this year. I was just talking to him on the subject about three minutes before I came to this call, as he’s in the factory at the moment.

"作為一個車手,Heiki表現非常好",Whitmarsh在麥拉倫車隊的電話訪問中如此表示。"但是他並沒有表現出以往的水準,也不符我們所期望的水準。在這通電話前,這時他正在工廠裡,我只跟他用了約三分鐘討論合約的事"。

“He’s working hard. But it’s true to say we haven’t confirmed our driver line-up for next year. A lot of us want to see Heikki get some good results this year and that will ensure that he will remain with us. That’s certainly our wish and his goal going into Valencia this weekend is to win and he is capable of winning the race this weekend.”

"他在工作上很努力,但是我們必須說我們對於明年的車手組合還沒有做決定。我們很希望Heikki在今年可以拿出好成績來,那麼我們保證他一定會繼續留在隊上。這是我們最大的希望,而且這週末他在瓦倫西亞的目標就是贏得比賽,他也有能力可以贏得比賽"。

According to Whitmarsh, one of Kovalainen’s strengths is his qualifying ability. And he wants his driver to concentrate on
maintaining his Saturday pace, which has seen him clinch two consecutive sixth-place grid slots over the last two races,
whilst also raising his game during Sunday’s action in order to get some vital points.

據Whitmarsh所說,Kovalainen的優勢是他在排位賽的表現,Kovalainen在最近兩次比賽排位皆在第七排,而他也希望Kovalainen能專注維持週六時的表現,才能提升在正賽中的表現而拿到關鍵的分數。

“He has been a good qualifier and has done some good qualifying times, and he is capable of qualifying well and winning this race,” added Whitmarsh. “So that is what he’s going to focus on, and I've just had that conversation with him. Then on Sunday evening he will start thinking about Spa, and that is what we want him to focus on - not all the speculation.”

"他的排位表現很好,也做出一些很好的成績,而他必須在這場比賽拿到好的排位並贏得比賽",Whitmarsh補充說。"這就是他要專注的事,而我為此也與他溝通過,在週日下午他開始思考如何應付Spa賽道,這就是我們要他專注的事"。

Several Germans, including BMW Sauber’s Nick Heidfeld, Williams’ Nico Rosberg and Force India’s Adrian Sutil, have been tipped to take Kovalainen’s place in the Mercedes-powered team next year, but Whitmarsh was quick to dismiss the rumours, stating that they are not involved in any active negotiations with other drivers.

一些德國車手,包括BMW車隊的Nick Heidfeld、威廉斯車隊的Nico Rosberg 和 Force India的 Adrian Sutil,都有消息說將取代Kovalainen明年在麥拉倫車隊的位置,Whitmarsh則馬上對這些謠言做出否定,聲明他們並沒有與任何車手有作協商的動作。

“I can confirm that contrary to some of the speculation we are not in discussions with any drivers outside this team at the moment,” he concluded. “In terms of nationality, some nationalities from a marketing perspective are obviously more convenient. But I think McLaren continues to have the strategy and policy that we will get the two best drivers that we can in our cars every season, and that is what we will continue to do.”

"我很確定的是,和一些猜測相反,在這時候我們沒有和車隊外的車手有任何商談",他結論說。"就國籍而言,一些具有市場潛力的國家出身的車手明顯的更有優勢,但是我想麥拉倫車隊一直都有策略和方針,就是每季都要讓最優秀的車手為我們比賽,而這就是我們會繼續努力的方向"。

Capirossi drops hint on 2010 continuation

With the news of Álvaro Bautista’s signing by Rizla Suzuki team for 2010 confirmed on Sunday the next big question surrounding the team is, ‘who will he be riding with?’

在週日宣佈Álvaro Bautista將在2010年加入Suzuki廠隊後,下一個圍繞著車隊的問題是,'誰會是他的隊友'。

Current riders Loris Capirossi and Chris Vermeulen both see their Suzuki contracts run out at the end of this season and the team is yet to make any announcement about who will partner new boy Bautista in the box next season.

目前的兩位車手Loris Capirossi 和 Chris Vermeulen的合約都到今年為止,而車隊也還沒預告誰會在下一季和Bautista成為隊友。

However, Capirossi gave a big hint of how things could work out when he said on Monday, “I think the team have made a great choice to pick Álvaro because he is a very strong rider and I believe he will be very comfortable in the team. Everyone here is very relaxed and I am happy to be able to work with him.”

無論如何,Capirossi在週一的訪問中,對這件事做了一些暗示,"我認為車隊選擇了Álvaro是個很棒的決定,他是個有實力的車手,我想他會和車隊相處愉快,車隊的大家都很享受,我也很高興可以和他一起共事"。

An official announcement on the situation is expected in the coming weeks, but for the time being Capirossi’s job is to improve the competitiveness of the Suzuki race package - and he did a good job on Sunday and Monday in the Czech Republic.

官方聲明預期將會在下週宣布,現在對Capirossi最重要的做就是繼續增進Suzuki賽車的競爭力,他在捷克站週日和週一的表現都很不錯。

With a new chassis and a new engine incorporated into the GSV-R this weekend Capirossi produced a solid fifth place in the Brno race and then ended up fourth on the test timesheet. He commented, “We were quite satisfied with how things went in the test. We rode all through the morning, trying settings and working on the new chassis, which seems to be better. In the afternoon we also did a few laps in the rain to try a few more things and that also went quite well.”

GSV-R賽車在上週末換上新車架和新引擎,Capirossi在捷克站拿下第五,在測試成績排在第四。他評論說,"我們對於測試時,事情的發展感到放心,我們一整個早上都在測試,試試新車架的設定,現在看來成績不錯。在下午我們也在濕地跑了幾圈測試一些情況,同樣的結果也很好"。
