Ubuntu 14.04 System freezes on wakeup from suspended state

After using Ubuntu on my Toshiba Satellite notebook for 2 days, the most annoying issue that prevented me from keep using it is actually an oven-overlooked feature: suspend. The title of this post said it all (in fact, you could google it and find a post on AskUbuntu) That's how I found out it has to do with the Nvidia (display) driver. However, I didn't follow the suggestions there (there's a link to a post in which a reply listed a multi-steps complicated solution) to make Ubuntu using the Nvidia proprietary driver) Instead I use the Ubuntu built-in "Additional Driver" utility. Switched from the open source driver to the proprietary one (the first choice, see image):

After making this change and reboot, I am able to suspend and wakeup :)

Cloning hard drive with open source software

You might have listened to me griping about my misbehaving PC lately. If things go well, I might be able to make it work again by cloning my old hard drive to a new one. Cloning software existed for a long time but I have never tried any because I didn't want to pay. This article explains how to use the open source Clonezilla.

Good question, bad question?

今日見到一則圍棋新聞標題提及香港記者難倒殿堂級大師李昌鎬，原來是採訪李參加的三星杯。

記者難倒李昌鎬的三個問題是：

• 圍棋的本質是甚麼？
• 如何看待勝負？
• 對圍棋的境界如何解釋？

李昌鎬雖然外號「石佛」，倒不見得擅長說法。面對空泛的問題，他來個籠統的答案：這三個問題需要一輩子來探尋，也無可厚非；接著還使上一招順水推舟，請身旁的日本大師高尾紳路來答，高尾也高章，說如果李答不了的話，這世上都無人能答了。

為甚麼記者會問如此空泛的問題？可能根本對圍棋及棋壇動向欠缺認識吧。頗有興趣知道是那間傳媒的記者！
