Well posts like that usually get me marked a troll or offtopic (honestly, no respect). So as to my intentions I wouldn't say that I was in any way whoring votes out of moderators. As opposed to the post you've linked to in which I get miffed over 80s-sub-Steve-Martin-esque humour and the shoving jokes down a drowning man's throat.
I couldn't give two hoots what any of my posts get.
(I mean what the fuck is with all these "jokes". I take these as Karma Whoring if the attempts weren't so half-assed. Oh no wait. I get it now. A ha ha. Ha. Ho. Haa.)
The course (bar two papers, I believe) could be done soley by tests. Of course, the tests weren't just ones regular students would do - they covered much more.
But with your reputation, Sir, perhaps they'd consider international study.
Goodness knows if I ever AC'd I wouldn't bother signing my name as the responses would be wanting proof and proclaiming the lad a lying festering troll.
Aside from that it's been nice weather here in India, I must admit. Now for the trans-siberian express.
But regardless, the thing all these spam phone gits fear is bad publicity. So lie. Your brother is a columnist at the New York Times. Your sister works at the mayors office. Your Daddy (who's daddy?) owns CBS. A user on your site is the actual King of the World (ph33r me!).
Anyway, they're messing with someone pretty powerful and they should just go away if they know what's best for them. Get the business name out of them, the caller's name, and makes threats. Don't be angry, be firm, and it's fun and you get to watch ants scamper.
Well, as the King of the World I regularly travel to Japan and I know the answer to your question, peasant.
Your example of button configuration doesn't fit the idea of a testing ground as they don't sample the local market much, don't do surveys, don't track habits or use of products. They do heavy R&D but don't let much out the door much like most places. There is lots of high-tech-wank about, but that's only as it's made there.
When it's testing market they want they tend to go for Australia, New Zealand. NZ especially due to the variety of cultures*1 and terrain. They've been testing some uber-neato highspeed internet/cellphone things in Wellington, NZ - but they had problems with hills. Somewhat like the digital TV standards having problems if you don't have line-of-sight with the receiver.
It's not really my thing but when I was in Japan recently I was looking at some digital audio toys. They ran QNX with a 10gig drive, small 5" LCD, and they have ogg/mp3/real/wav/aiff/asf/mpeg already and it's make a refreshing change from being stuck with a lousy and lossy format.

Daniel son. Here, here and here.
Oh, and cellphones. Don't forget cellphones.

The university I went to as a lad had a fast-track, exam after exam, version of the entire computer course.
Tis lovely.

By jove, he's got it!
Yes. But you don't actually have a point now do you?
If it's thin enough anyone can bend it. We have some wafer-thin titanium at work (in the courtyard) that's rather malleble.
Hey, can you imagine a world without zinc.
You see I'd just say it has to do with their breeding.
keh?
Oh, and yes. They only had couples. I'm not sure of the sexuality, though.
If there's anything else I can do for you, just whistle.
Wasn't it The Human Animal (animal!) or something? or am I thinking of another brit tripe documentary like "trouble at the top"
I (hereby) disagree.
As Spacemoose says: "If it's not extreme, fuck you".
You wonder dog, you.

I (hereby) agree.
