  2. Why are they attacking France?

    They're not attacking France, they're attacking Paris. Would have been easier to attack and run in a smaller city, they chose Paris because of the symbol.

    For starters, and ahead of themes (?!), they have other problems to address: watching porn on FF is slow, on Chrome it's fine.

    Don't forget to mention that everyone is on Yahoo (Japan). But, nope. Reason is not due to an aging population.

  13. Re:illogical summary on Analog Still Big In Japan (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The point of Japanese business is to keep the people of Japan working, and so they employ people to do jobs that machines could do cheaper, because if you lay them all off, they will be a burden on society.

    That behavior has deeper roots buried in Japanese culture. The big boom, the bubble, that catapulted Japan into the world's second largest economy in the 60's up to the 80's was mainly due to the after war (II) boost from the West (mainly American influence). But actually Japanese like to maintain and nourish the present state. Don't look at the past, don't try to anticipate the future. A zen garden. And yes, businesses in Japan are full of faxes, obsolete and old-fashion software, grandad management strategies... most of which are reminiscences from a past era which are, anyway, not really part of the true Japanese culture. Modern or traditional, which is better? To catch up with the world economy, modern certainly wins. But is it what most Japanese want? Certainly not.

  25. Actually the movie was right on Tomorrow Is 'Back To the Future' Day (cnn.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The movie was right. Marty and doc Brown did travel to 2015 and saw the 2015 as it had to be. But then, they traveled far back, then they went back to the future - their 1988 present. Unfortunately in between 2015 and 1988 they modified the "new" past (of 2015) which gave the boring and hoverboard-less 2015 we all live now.
