    It was something about evil, do .... Do evil now?

  2. Re:Why explicitly war zone? on Ask Slashdot: Working As an IT Contractor In a War Zone? · · Score: 1

    While it is for sure still possible to find work in the IT sector in Tokyo with only English, it is getting increasingly difficult. Almost all job advertisements require some level of Japanese, and increasingly wants Business level or higher. Tokyo is also damned expensive to live in, and there isn't any relaxed atmosphere either. So all in all, I think there are other places in Asia ( suggested by parent, that will serve you better).

    I almost modded you down just for bringing nightmarish memories of Tivoli back into my conscious mind. Do you know how long it has taken me to successfully repress those memories? Nevertheless I will refrain from down-modding and instead I will send you the bill from my shrink.

  7. Re:Toads and earthquakes? on Using Toads to Predict Earthquakes · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I live in Japan, and it has long been an old-wife's tale here that Toads and frogs will go quiet and disappear before big earth quakes. And that has been documented to happen in connection with the 3/11 earth quake. Some scientists have suggested that large amounts of Radon is released when pressure builds up before a quake, and that the toads are able to detect this. Another old-wifes tale is that eels also are able to predict earth quakes ( I have yet to understand exactly how they then communicate this to humans) And lastly there were many news articles connecting the fore and after shocks of 3/11 to group dolphin stranding on the affected coasts. There are also stories about wells in Japanese Temples, that are usually murky but turns clear before major earth quakes. Finally it is also said here that temperatures ( or perceived temperature) raise before a quake. All though I have actually found this to be true on several occasions I still believe it is coincidental (or maybe due to selective memory processes).

    This can easily be mitigated by adding new labor laws that prevent meteorites from ever going on strike.

    Big ones?

    Not so likely. The same was said for very high tsunamis in the Fukushima area. The problems is that when it does occur the consequences are great.

    More worrying was the fact that the article(and even summary) mention that they where not safe for off site power loss, and flooding.

    ..what they are saying is that we remember more than we remember that we remember?

    Or in other words, we have memories that we forgot we had?
