Japan Takes A Look At Open Source Software
irish_spic writes " Accorting to this AP story (in yahoo news), the public management ministry is setting up a panel of scholars and computer experts, including Microsoft officials in order to study the use of Open Source software in the government. The article cites concerns about costs and security as the reason for the study. Me wonders if they are serious or just trying to get discounts from MS."
it's the reason why Japanese economy is
in serious trouble for many years.When
government officials are so stupid to
include MS reps in order to study open
source, how can they turn economy around?

While I'm glad that Japan is embracing open-source so heartily, it's really going to do little for that country and its moribound economy unfortunately. I'm an American businessman in the import- export business, so as you might guess, my frequent travels take me to many places around the world, on every continent.
I wanted to share my experience in the "great" country of Japan, which may open some eyes to those who think it's nothing but a technophile's paradise.
So, I was in Tsukuba, Japan last March for about a week on business. A bit of background: Tsukuba is a special "science city" that the Japanese government set up to try and give foreigners the illusion that Japan really ISN'T a stagnant country that had its heyday back in the 80s. Here, rules are relaxed and IT and other technology is encouraged. Well, let me tell you this, if this is Japan's best, then I'd hate to see the worst.
Anyways, when I stepped off the train from Tokyo (which was no paradise itself, as that place has gone down the shitter since the Amerian occupation forces left) I was shocked. The whole place smelled like a combination of rotting fish, tofu, piss, and vomit and and what have you that had been left out in the sun for a day or so. And it was probably BECAUSE there was piss and vomit all over. I almost retched, and I've certainly been in some sketchy places in my travels but NOTHING like this.
Japanese salarymen wander the streets at night, piss-drunk on sake, upchucking their disgusting mix of half digested fish, tofu, and seaweed, and making complete boors of themselves. And when I say piss drunk, I mean it. Public urination is the norm. I found myself looking DOWNWARD much more than looking FORWARD when I walked.
Noise pollution is endemic. It doesn't help that their infernal language consists of gibberish that is a cacophony for any human ear to bear. How do they speak and listen to that shit without going crazy all day long is beyond me.
Anyways, Japanese people stink -- literally. There is no concept of personal hygiene whatsoever. Meetings with even top officials were hourlong sessions of having to endure hot sweaty bodies and rancid breath eminating from mouths missing a few teeth. Geez, at least use deodorant for crying out loud. And need I mention "natto"?!? They put tofu and ferment it for days at a time -- the resulting smell is like smelling the floor of a neglected boy's locker room in your typical high school after a football game.
Women are degraded beyond belief. Manga and anime show incredible acts of bestiality, torture, and other unspeakable acts that would get any producer immediately jailed in the US and other civilized countries.
The hypocrisy, corruption, and double-standards from the highest levels of government on over are the norm at the same time Japan opens up to the world as a "leader" in science and technology. Foreigners get charged as much as five times for transportation, lodging, food, and everything else.
Traffic is horrible. Rules are non-existent except for at traffic lights: red means to go fast, green means to go REALLY REALLY fast.
The Japanese people themselve are pretty apathetic and everyone just wants to get out of that hell hole -- you see Japanese dying their hair and getting eye implants so they can actually look more like "Westerners", wholesalely throwing away their own ethnic identity in the process. Absolutely pathetic.
The whole country, in my assessment is a lost case. Even the vaunted electronics, automobiles, and technology that put Japan on the map decades ago can be found in Taiwan, China or Korea.
Anyways, the one redeeming quality were the girls. I was having dinner (by the way, how can anyone eat raw fish and seaweed for all their lives, is way beyond me) with a young female business associate, and afterwards, we had a few drinks. One thing lead to another and I paid 10000 yen (about $85 US) for a great fuck, with a bright 25 year old manager, sucked and fucked all night long, with a tight shaved pussy with just the tiniest whiff of black hair. Boy, those Jap girls sure can get it on. Much better than even the vaunted Thai whores, and worlds apart from anything in Las Vegas or in Europe.
So yeah, screw the hell hole that's Japan. It's a lost cause of a country suspsended by a hollow facade of so-called technology development that's just show more than anything.
There's 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
If you don't quite follow me,picture the following model...
the model may by over-simplistic, and it ignores the possibility of occlusion or artificial barriers (i.e certification committees keeping #'s low to keep $$$ earned high)
all theese Japan want with open source is new and free ways to creat etheir porn of 10 year old girls being violently raped by forty inch tentacles.
fucking perverts, we should nuke them again
