Leaving Computers On Helps Them Last Longer: Scientific American

Leaving Computers On Helps Them Last Longer: Scientific American
Of course, the importance of whether to power down or put your computer to sleep depends a lot on how much you use it. If you spend 20 minutes each night reviewing your e-mail, it's a waste of energy to leave your PC on all day. If you're continually on your computer, or go back several times a day, it's best to leave it in sleep mode between sessions. Another variable is the efficiency of the PC's processor. Slower ones use less energy but have to work longer and harder than more powerful CPUs. "It's like a car," Bosley says, "you can't talk about gas mileage without talking about the vehicle's performance."

Vietnamsese Language

Vietnamsese Language (Wikipedia

Grammar

Vietnamese, like many languages in Southeast Asia and Chinese, is an analytic (or isolating) language. As such its grammar highly relies on word order and sentence structure rather than morphology (in which word changes through inflection). Whereas European languages tend to use morphology to express tense, Vietnamese uses grammatical particles or syntactic constructions.

Vietnamese is often erroneously considered to be a "monosyllabic" language. It is true that Vietnamese has many words that consist of only one syllable; however, most words are indeed disyllabic. This is largely because of the many reduplication words that appear in household vocabulary, or adjectives. More accurately, most free morphemes are monosyllabic.

Vietnamese syntax conforms to the Subject Verb Object word order.


Vocabulary

* Note: mention the two layers of Chinese borrowings at different time periods
* mention other languages (with examples)

As a result of a thousand years of Chinese domination, much of Vietnamese vocabulary relating to science and politics are derived from Chinese. As much as 60% of the vocabulary have Chinese roots, although many compound words are Sino-Vietnamese, composed of native Vietnamese words combined with the Chinese borrowings. Reduplication is a regular part of the language that usually denotes intensity. One can usually distinguish between a native Vietnamese word and a Chinese borrowing if it can be reduplicated or its meaning doesn't change when the tone is shifted. As a result of French colonization, Vietnamese also has words borrowed from the French language. Recently many words are borrowed from English, for example TV (pronounced tivi), phông for font. Sometimes these borrowings are calques literally translated into Vietnamese (phần mềm for software, lit. soft part).

Languages (Wikipedia)
Main articles: Vietnamese language and Languages of Vietnam
The people of Vietnam speak Vietnamese as a native language. In its early history, Vietnamese writing used Chinese characters. In the 13th century, the Vietnamese developed their own set of characters called Chữ nôm. The celebrated epic Đoạn trường tân thanh (Truyện Kiều or The Tale of Kieu) by Nguyễn Du was written in Chữ nôm. During the French colonial period, Quốc ngữ, the romanized Vietnamese alphabet used for spoken Vietnamese, which was developed in 17th century by Jesuit Alexandre De Rhodes and several other Catholic missionaries, became popular and brought literacy to the masses.

History of Manga

日本の漫画業界はアメリカやフランスよりも大規模。1990年代には毎年の漫画の売上は6000億円近くあり、日本で発行された雑誌や漫画などの書籍の総売上の4分の1を占めた。
1947年当時19歳だった手塚治は『新宝島』を発表し、400,000部を売り上げベストセラーになった。戦後10年間、彼に加え多くの漫画家が現れ漫画ブームが起こった。

手塚治と表現技術
ヨーロッパの読者は日本の漫画を読むことは映画を見ることに似ていると言っている。『新宝島』の中で主人公が船に乗るためあわてて車で波止場に着く場面がある。そのシーンに全部で180ページあるうちの8ページを費やしている。前の漫画は1コマか2コマだけだった。
