Sound Of Cicadas 蟬鳴聲

Previous Post:110411 Awakening Cicadas 睡醒的蟬

Listen to sound of cicadas.
聽聽蟬的求愛聲。

The sound of the cicada love song is the loudest song known in the insect world. Only males sing, trying to attract females for mating. Cicada calls are species-specific, helping individuals locate their own kind when different kinds of cicadas share the same habitat.

http:// and https://

What is the difference between http and https ?

**The main difference between http:// and https:// is it's all about keeping you secure** HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol.
The “s” (big surprise) stands for "Secure". If you visit a website or web page, and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the following: http://.
This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular unsecured language. In other words, it is possible for someone to "eavesdrop" on your computer's conversation with the website. If you fill out a form on the website, someone might see the information you send to that site.
This is why you never ever enter your credit card number in an http website! But if the web address begins with https://, that basically means your computer is talking to the website in a secure code that no one can eavesdrop on.
If a website ever asks you to enter your credit card information, you should automatically look to see if the web address begins with https://.
If it doesn't, You should NEVER enter sensitive information, such as a credit card number, Social Security #, etc.

「http」 跟「https」有何不同嗎?

有時這之間的差異是很重要的。
http://跟https://之間的差異在於網路文字傳送協定標準不同。
這僅一個字母S的差別代表「安全(secure)」, 所以http:// 是該網頁與你的電腦瀏覽器, 以一般(非安全)模式在進行互動交談, 所以內容有可能遭攔截竊聽;換句話說,你在此類網頁上填寫傳送的資料有可能被有心人士看到。
這就是為什麼你不要在http網頁輸入你的信用卡資料! 但如果網址開頭是https://, 基本上意謂著, 你的電腦是以無人能盗取得安全碼, 與該網頁進行互動交談。
請在輸入機密資料時確認該網頁開頭是不是https://。
如果不是, 請勿輸入敏感資料, 諸如信用卡號碼, 工卡號碼, … 等等。

科技傳情

(趣聞轉載)
一幫忘年之交的男人在喝酒,有人突發奇想,相約給各自老婆發簡訊
「我愛你!」 看看各年齡段的女人的反應,果然結果大不一樣。

20來歲的女人回復 「我也愛你!」

30來歲的女人回復 「貓尿灌多了吧?」

40來歲的女人回復 「你沒病吧?」

50來歲的女人回復 「發錯人了吧?看回來怎麼收拾你!」

60來歲的女人回復 「退休了閑得慌是不是?釣魚去吧!」

70來歲的女人不回復,直接給兒子打電話:
「你爸病了,趕快帶他去看醫生!」

80來歲的女人自言自語地說:
「唉,今天肯定是忘了吃治老年癡呆的藥了。」

「我愛你」~~~好笑的幽默回應! 不妨自己試試看。

Watermills 水車

Vanishing Waterwheels.
看着即將失蹤的水車,
想起古早農夫踏水車,
一腳一腳引水沃田園。
I posted sound of lake wave,
now listen to the roars of watermills.
聽過湖浪聲, 現在來聽水車水吼聲。
