A strange man is sitting at a S-bahn station. His note said, "Ich suche nach einem Mann, der mich am 5.9 um 0:40 Uhr auf dem Ku'damm tätlich angegriffen hat und dann weggelaufen ist. Er rief, dass er alle Ausländer, Chinesen und Japaner hasse. Wenn er wirklich dir Zukunft von Deutschland (und der Welt) retten will, dann kann ich ihm einen Job anbieten. Aber nur für kurze Zeit. Sehe sundayresearch.eu ".  My translation is "I am looking for a man who (physically) attacked me on Sept. 5th at 0:40 at Ku'damm and then ran away. He said, he hates all foreigner, Chinese, and Japanese. If he will really save the Germany (and the world), I can offer a job for him. But only the short time. See sundayresearch.eu ." A man with eyepatch. His odd note.

I always try to simplify a command line parser implementation regardless any programming language: C++, bash, ... To do that, I restrict the command line option to a regular form only. All my arguments should be '-arg_key value' form. Even I want to specify a file name, my program needs an argument key, e.g., '-in_file input_filename. If you do in this way, each command line argument has the key, so I can put all the command line options to a map. This makes the command line parser simple. I usually don't need getopt library. Also I try to simplify the command line option support, means smaller number of command line options, and use a config file, which contains 'key = value' lines. This has two advantages: you can support negative values without confusing the command line option, easy to reproduce the test case. However, this method still has a problem when the command line option includes white space. If I could, I will only try to use config files,...

Myron Krueger's Amazing demo in 1988. This video below is Myron Krueger's 1988's demo. It is one of the origin of virtual reality and the interactive art. It includes 'zoom in' gesture by two fingers and moving around a figure by hand or finger gesture. It is common in these days on a smart phone and a tablet. (see around 4:30). http://youtu.be/dmmxVA5xhuo?t=4m30s But I have a bit strange side story. last year (2012), Apple win Samsung in lawsuit and get 1 billion dollars. One of the Apple's inventions is this zoom in effect by fingers. http://www.ndtv.com/article/world/samsung-apple-lawsuit-penalty-of-1-billion-dollar-slashed-in-half-337277 Apple invented this ``technology'' in 2005 as I read. More strangely, someone invented this technology in 1993, and he won the lawsuit against Apple. http://easthamptonstar.com/News/2013829/Springs%E2%80%99-Own-Beats-Apple Myron Krueger's demo is magnificent in many ways. The demo itself is great...

I just found that some reason, Google translate doesn't like number 8 and prefer 6.
