» Traditional vs Simplified radicals
Ill switch from characters to radicals. Every simplified dictionary I have shows a different number of radicals basically in the 180 range. So that leaves a difference of about 10 radicals plus or minus from one dictionary to another. One dictionary shows 210 and another 175. How come there is no standard like Traditional Kangxi with 214 where any given radical is the same number and meaning. I have more... [Read More]

» Can't eject USB? Use QQ?
This may be just some quirk of my computer, but in case it's relevant to anyone else I'll post this here: my Windows Vista computer has consistently refused to let me "safely remove" any external hard drive I attach via the USB port, claiming that it's still being used by some (unstated) programme. Today I finally found out what it was: QQ. I closed down QQ, tried to "safely remove" the drive,... [Read More]
