This doesn't seem to be a big problem in Western countries as much as it is in Japan. In America I play games with my friends all the time and we're hardly 'the bottom of the barrel' but here in Japan I've yet to hear something good about people that play games, though huge amounts of people do it, just in secret. But it could also be the way Japanese society works, namely it's a very casted and stereotype producing system.
The point is not how ignorant the general public is, the point is that the government is breaking the law. Mind you, it can change the law if it wants too, but the fact is, it hasn't changed the law.
I'm having a hard time believing anyone actually read the article. They are introducting ads as an OPTIONAL feature of the site for people that want added features (more user icons, a personal photo album with 1gb of space). On peoples journals who DECIDE to participate in this, ads will be seen. But for regular free users and paid users there are still NO ADS. So if you don't want ads, don't sign up for their Sponsored+ service!
I'm not going to argue with you on the main points because I agree with you on them BUT one thing has come along with digital media that really calls for other protections for defendants to be put into place. For one, since computers do store massive amounts of data, and many stories are theoretically being worked on with this computer, shouldn't the defense have some sort of representative available while said computer is being accessed to make sure that only relevant data is accessed OR to take note of data that was accessed as to make sure that their computers are being properly confiscated and this isn't just a setup for a SLAP suit?
I'd like to say yes for the simple reason that it's the only thing Bush and the other Republicans say when you try to confront them about their Orwellian wet-dreams.
Why not? Because I want to have the warm blanket of safety around me, even if the blanket isn't real. I want to believe that my tax dollars aren't completely wasted on incompetence, so if I believe that the CIA and FBI are actually somehow protecting us, then that's something....right?
But how are they sure it's not disinformation setup by these organizations to throw people off the trail? I don't have much faith in our government, but I don't think the Intelligence Agencies are that stupid.
This might be a good thing. Since I don't live in America at the moment, the only way I can get ahold of shows that I love, like the Daily Show, is by downloading them. In America I'd pay a cable bill and watch them, so if the prices were reasonable (2 dollars a show is not IMO) I wouldn't mind subscribing. Maybe instead of 2 dollars per show or 16 dollars for 16, why not make a whole months worth of programming from a channel open for downloading for 20 bucks? I'd gladly pay something like that.
Honestly that's not the most advanced toilet I've seen while I've been here in Japan. There are some with remotes and different 'spray' options. Also, don't forget the kind that are built into the ground and you don't sit on, unlike western toilets.
Yea, but more often than not you see water cooling or some other cooling display hooked up to these modded computers. So yea, it's about the same as car modding. Wanting it to look cool (or tacky) and go faster (until it blows up).
I've been using DVORAK for about 2 years now and find that switching to QWERTY only takes about a minute to get used to. I'm sure the more often that you switch, the easier it is though.
It's true that they can say anything they want, uncensored, but at the same time they still have to maintain a standard of living so it's kinda important not to piss off the donators.
I'm not saying he was right or wrong, I'm just saying tread carefully when you're biting the hand that feeds you. Anything more than a nibble might make it slap you silly.
Even if you agree with the guy, Mozilla relies on donations from people and corporations to stay afloat. Most of that, I'm willing to bet, comes from corporations. If you disagree with the way a release is going you have a right to say something, but make it private instead of scathingly public, especially if it's against the person that pays your bills.
It's very important to note that their actual accounts were not compromised, only personal data and account numbers. While - yes, this is horrible, it's more of an "You asshole" issue than an "Shit, I better make sure all my money is there" issue.
The guy is saying don't criticize Wolfowitz just because of his connection to the Iraqi War, wait until he has actually started doing something within the bank and see what he does. He might not be evil after all, is the hope of the editor, I believe.
This might actually bring an increase in viewers, and if they keep their trend going, we'll have Spock on a feeding tube with the Klingons wanting to keep it in.
I think I might watch it!
Unless he had high powered binoculars to go with that high powered laser, I doubt the police helicopter looked any different from any other helicoptor from the ground.
Slashdot Mirror
if this has anything to do with Steven Colbert's veiled attack against Viacom on his show last night?
To be fair, the DS Lite came out a long time ago in Japan and in some places is still a pain in the ass to buy because of the high demand.
If I were running preorders I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Hey, according to this site there were at least 25, not including regional dupes. So yes, it could be tricky because you can't just flip a coin!

Isn't the real question - Why was it banned in the first place?
That flamewar honestly dosen't look that bad. I mean, it's a little snippet. I woulda flamed those girls into submission and still kept my job.
Tinyyyyy. I'd rather have the Unreal source though

Isn't electricity, or at an even deeper level, electrons to blame for this catastrophe?

It's alright. Accidents happen, wars start, it's all good.
