The sound Jian can take on many meanings in Mandarin. In Chinese OTOH, that can stand for a plethora of words. In Hokkien (or Fujian) for example, "jian" can mean mischievous. There is however no "jian"-sounding word in Cantonese. Yeah, go figure.

Jian in Mandarin, in its highest pitch, the 4th intonation, can usually mean:
建 - construct
見 - see
劍 - sword
箭 - arrow
賤 - shoddy, whorish

Indeed.

Windows 7 may be new, but that IrFan picture viewer is still an old dirty blob on the desktop.

There's still no animated GIF support on 7. They tell you to open them on a web browser instead. But why on Earth would anyone take animated GIF support out of the built-in image viewer when it was working so well?

No MKV no life. I sold off my iPod Touch precisely because Apple killed off CorePlayer, the one app I can't do without.

Oh, it's on planet Earth alright. Wrong century though, they're in 2200AD. This is in strong contrast to a place such as the USA, which is on planet Sparta, in the same era as in the movie.

Black = is good
White = eye burning

So guess what race is going to die out within the century. Quick, everybody to their tanning stations! And you there, the Korean chick. Don't think just because you're not white you're spared. Take this can and spray on some black.

All the time actually. On the throne for the royally constipated.
