Since the execution stack is maintained by code generated solely by the compiler, the stack can be modified such that buffer overflows are impossible, even for languages such as C. Thus, buffer overflows exemplify the power of legacy code.

C String and its marketability

C-String! Nop, I am not talking about the character sequence stored as a one-dimensional character array in computing. Yap, I am talking about the completely new and exciting innovation in lingerie. A few days back, I came across this term C-String. I do a bit of programming, so I do know what String is, but not in this lingerie content.

My first impression was "What the heck!, is it a hair band?" I would never know that this is C-String even if I spot one at the departmental store.

Invisible underwear, I doubt any guy will complain regarding girls wearing lesser and smaller piece. I will not talk about on that side. In fact my focus is more on its marketability side, precisely what the real consumers think about it, especially when it comes to Aisa. I exclude the guys from the consumer base as not many guy are buying lingerie for their other half. Yes, some guys are doing that but it might be only a single digit percentage to the whole consumer body.

Interesting to know that there are various type of string thongs in the market (see beside).  The other string types are in the market for quite a while and gain a certain level of acceptance but I don't think majority are a big fun of these string series. G-String girls might be quite excited about it but the buzz is not that huge.

It is specially designed for a perfect tan without a single line on butt. It might also useful for sexy side-revealing dress for the red carpet walk or shoots but C String has the big issue when it comes to every day wear. Most women concern about its possibility to drop when it goes with skirt. Most occasions, it doesn't seem an appropiate wear.

It would probably look perfectly fine on the nice figure but most of the GOD's children doesn't have it. In fact, the huge portion of female population are not satisfacted with their figures. Quite a number of women don't mind to buy a piece and try it out at least once, but none of them consider to keep as part of their lingerie wardrobe. Another factor is the age: of the different age groups, women above 40s or 50s will not even look at it.

When it comes to materials used and price, C String does have issues too. Might be due to its special materials to stay where it is, C String is quite expensive for such as smallest piece of under garment. Not so many will pay around 20+ bucks just for try out.

In Asia content, we can even count the number of people who would go for body tan and wear the most revealing outfits. Plus not so many fashion shows are happening around, though it might useful for catwalk models.Even in western, C-String is not a popular piece, it get worse when it comes to Asia.

Promoting it as a 2-in-1(hair band and underwear) might not be a good idea either.

After all, C-string is the product with a marketabilty defect. Mass exporting nor manufacturing might never work well.

Here's the link to see the C-String in action.

If You Could Hear

If you could hear, you'd realize you asked me a question, but never let me answer.
I thought you cared about what I would have to say.

If you could hear, you'd realize I called your name, and you didn't respond.
I thought you wanted to be there for me in every way.

If you could hear, you'd realize there's life going on all around you, and you're missing out.
I thought you would live life to the fullest every day.

But you can't, or you won't, so we go on without a sound.

A small fish in a big pond or A big fish in a small pond?

Most people think that they can be either "a small fish in a big pond" or "a big fish in a small pond". Well, I used to think that way too. We usually don't talk about the other two cases " a big fish in a big pond" and "a small fish in a small pond".

Let's start with the best case. "A big fish in a big pond", that sounds too good to be happened, doesn't it? How much percentage of the work force becomes CEOs or top management guys? How many people born with the silver spoon in mouth? How many students can go to top universities like Harvard or MIT? How much percentage of the class can get A+? Let's get real. It ain't not happen just like that.

Doing the right thing at the right time in a right way: success is simple as that. Yes, it indeed is but just not easy to make all those three thing happens together.

I would say either "a small fish in a big pond" or "a big fish in a small pond" is not much difference as they are in-between so so conditions. Each has both strength and weakness. Opportunies and limitations come together. I used to think, at least, expect seeing myself swimming in either one of these conditions. Surprisingly a degree from the well-recognized university ain't just enough to be in even those so-so conditions. Out of an education which worth nearly S$ 40000 and 3 years time, I just get one phrase "Things are subjected to change." Higher Eduction becomes more and more luxurious item and low ROI investment. Maybe we might be seeing more college drop-outs in the near future. It's nothing new and already happening. We shouldn't go for higher education just for a piece of paper  nor a licence to be a employee. It is more like we are paying to let them put into the box and think in a framed way. It's not worth at all in this case.

What makes everybody to dream about swimming in other people's pond? Why not thinking about who makes those ponds? Big or small, it's still the properties of somebody else. There is always a high possiblity of being taken out of it at any given time. If it's all about suriving skill, it is probably  better to be an unqualified employer rather than a qualified employee.   

The current situation makes me live in the worst scenario. I am a new small fish swimming in the small pond yet dreaming about digging my own pond one day. "Small" or "swimming", neither of these words will make me a fish. Yes, I'm still swimming 'cos my past 16 years education gave me only fish mindset and taught how to swim. Nop, I won't stop to find a way to land on the ground and dig my very own pond. It is too soon to say it can't be done. We shall see....
