  2. Re:Why is Japan so far ahead?? on Sony Launches 2 New "Video" Clie Models · · Score: 1

    As a student of the Japanese language I must say that although learning kanjis is extremely time consuming it's definitely not a waste of time. Japanese (and Chinese) calligraphy is a wonderful art, and the more kanjis I know the more I enjoy learning and drawing them.

    > 19,000 boys and just 2,400 girls

    Before you get ecstatic that you have a 10% chance to get laid, out of those 2400 girls 1000 are lesbians and 1000 are dating businessmen and lawyers. So it's more like 1%. Now go have a beer!

  13. Purpose on 10-TFlop Computer Built from Standard PC Parts · · Score: 1

  16. New RPG class on Sony SmartPhone To Work With PS2 · · Score: 1

    PS2 RPG developers are considering a new character class, the "Mobilius". Members of this new powerful class can utilize up to 8 3G gadgets, though the character in most cases dies from brain cancer before reaching the 30th level. Can use efficient light magic like "Instant Interracial Porn Video Feed" and "Direct-to-Brain Anime Download". The ultimate dark magic is ".Net Armageddon", which destroys the opponents' non-proprietary information sources, and makes them pathetic license fee paying slaves.

    Lain's script had to be edited to avoid legal harassment from MS. The first section of the original text was:
