I stand corrected. Yahoo is still the most popular search engine in Japan with, but saying that Google is not a strong brand in Japan is wrong. Google is the second most popular search engine with the share of 35%, and the share gap between them and Yahoo is getting smaller and smaller very quickly. Here is the source. It is reported last September, so the gap is even smaller now.
I specifically mentioned YouTube video traffic for the main reason to taking up bandwidth. Google (including YouTube) has servers located in Japan, but they are more like caching servers. Original data are stored on the servers in the U.S. where most of the computation take place. Continuous replication of data takes up bandwidth. Another example is 2 channel. Do you know where the 2 channel servers are located? They are all located in the U.S. The Japanese don't read English website much, but the traffic between the U.S. and Japan is still huge.
You should use more reliable information source on this. Google *is* the most popular search engine in Japan, and YouTube traffic has been taking bandwidth between the U.S. and Japan. This is one of the main motivations for Google to buy a piece of a cable.
I had thought the same thing, but that's not correct. If you look at the JAXA page on the nickname, Kizuna is the nickname and the official name is WINDS (spelled all uppercase) which is an acronym. It's very confusing though.
I downloaded the RC1 about an hour ago! The good thing is that the new update mechanism works very nicely. It just downloaded 300KB and restarted automatically, and now I have the RC2 installed.
What's disgusting about this Winny thing is that Kyoto Police Department thinks the development of Winny itself is not criminal, but 47's attitude against the copyright law is. 47 had basically said on 2ch that the copyright law must be largely restructured to reflect the digital era and that's a part of the reasons why he wrote Winny.
Japanese constitution certainly ensures freedom of speech and thoughts, but it sounds like KPD is a thought police.
I'm not sure about the recent(ATA100&133) rounded cables, but when I tried ATA33 rounded cable, it didn't work. I couldn't boot windoze2k. After I changed back to the flat cable, it worked. Some of my friends encountered the same issue. So I'm afraid of using rounded cable.

Mod parent up. He is absolutely right.
Lineage is not so much important anymore in Japan and only tiny fraction of marrying couples do use agents to check lineage of their SO.

Huh? See the original poster's title.
That is so misleading. Most Japanese kids do have their own room although the size of a typical room is smaller than in the U.S.

Wow, that's a great news. I'll give it a try. Thanks guys.
I'd love to upgrade to the 2.6 kernel, but I can't do it until nvidia releases the graphics driver for 2.6 kernels.
