Plain sailing
Meaning
An easy, uncomplicated course.
Origin
'Plain sailing', along with 'smooth sailing', a variant more common in the USA, is a nautical phrase that has the literal meaning of 'sailing that is easy and uncomplicated'. Both phrases are now used to describe any straightforward and trouble-free activity. There might seem to be be little more to say about this phrase, if it weren't for the existence of 'plane sailing'.
'Plane sailing' is a simplified form of navigation, in which the surface of the sea is considered to be flat, i.e. what mathematicians call a plane surface. The plane method of approximation made the calculations of distance much easier than those of 'Mercator's sailing', in which the curvature of the earth was taken into account. So, 'plane sailing' was 'plain sailing'.
It would be rather neat if 'plane sailing' had come first and that, being an easy and uncomplicated method, it came to be called 'plain sailing'. In fact, it is the 'plain' spelling that is found first in print, in Adam Martindale's A Collection of Letters for Improvement of Husbandry & Trade, 1683:
A token for ship boys, plain-sailing made more plain and short than usually, in three particular methods.
The term must have been in regular use by the turn of the 18th century as, in 1707, Edward Ward made metaphorical use of it in The Wooden World Dissected:
Tho' he guide others to Heaven by the plain-sailing Rules of the Gospel.
The first known use of 'plane sailing' isn't found until much later, in James Atkinson's Epitome of the Art of Navigation, 1749:
Plane Trigonometry applied in Problems of Sailing by the Plane Sea-Chart, commonly called Plane-Sailing.
Most people now make a distinction between 'plain', i.e. easy and simple, and 'plane', i.e. flat. That wasn't so when this phrase was coined. Since the 14th century, although less so more recently, various spellings for 'level and flat' have been accepted - plane, pleyne, playn and, significantly in this context, plain. So, although 'plane sailing' is unambiguous, when a writer used 'plain sailing' any number of things may have been on his/her mind:
- Sailing that was easy.
- Sailing on a flat, level sea.
- Navigation that was calculated using plane (a.k.a. plain) trigonometry.
- Any straightforward task.
In recent years, the introduction of the phrase 'clear sailing' as an alternative to 'plain sailing' may have cleared things up a little. This was used to good, if rather poignant, comic effect in The Simpsons' cartoon The Simpsons Bible Stories, 1999:
Milhouse: Well, Lisa, we're out of Egypt. So, what's next for the Israelites? Land of milk and honey?
Lisa: [consulting a scroll] Hmm, well, actually it looks like we're in for forty years of wandering the desert.
Milhouse: Forty years! But after that, it's clear sailing for the Jews, right?
Lisa: [nervously] Uh-huh-hum, more or less.

우선 LCD Manager에 대해서 이야기 해보자.
LCD Manager는 말 그대로 이 키보드에 달린 LCD창과 관련된 옵션을 조정하는 창이다.
버튼 1 : 화면전환에 주로 사용
버튼 2 : 화면 백라이트 끌때사용
LCD관련 셋팅창이다. 한글버젼도 있는 걸로 알고 있다.
크게 3부분으로 생각할 수 있다.
1. LCD창에 표시되는 정보(시계, 게임, 하드웨어 사용량등)를 "버튼1"을 눌러서 바꿀 수 있게 해주는 기능이다.
요거 체크 안해주면 대략 2~3번에 걸쳐 눌러줘야 되서 체크해주는게 편하다.
2. 화면에 표시되는 내용을 수동으로 바꿀건지 자동으로 바뀌게 할건지 정하는 곳이다.
"버튼1"을 누르면 다음 내용이 화면에 나타난다.
나는 수동으로 해놨다. 아래 옵션을 체크하면 일정시간에 맞춰서 자동으로 보여주는 내용이 바뀐다.
1초에서 20초로 시간을 정할 수 있는데 난 정신 없어서 걍 메뉴얼로 안 바뀌게 해놨다.
3. invert image옵션을 체크해 주면 화면이 반전되어서 나타난다.
취향에 따라 선택하면 될듯...
