I am a teacher at a junior high school in Japan, and this mindset is completely foreign to the boys here. I often see boys hugging eachother, holding hands, and sitting on eachothers laps among other things. I don't think I have lived here long enough to understand exactly why it is like this here.. but my best guess is that the Japanese don't think that any of them could possibly be gay. This is a country that isn't too open to the idea of being gay, so you would think that boys acting like this would be scrutinized. Since they assume that there are no gay Japanese people, then they don't have to worry about acting too feminine. I see boys with pink stickers all over their pencil boxes. The kind of stuff you see here would get a boy beat up in America. I am sure I don't understand it completely.. but I thought I would just share my experiences from the other side.
TV on mobiles have been 'there' in Japan for awhile now. It is pretty much a standard feature on all of the "free" phones you can get when you sign up for new service. Whether people actually watch TV on their phones is another question...
I don't know about where you live, but getting an apprenticeship is nearly impossible around here... The skilled trade of being an electrician is wanted by many around here, and the demand is far too low to find a job for the amount of people interested in it. I'd have better luck finding a programming job here than an electrician apprenticeship.
Our college is making firefox mandatory on all computer labs and on the students' laptops. In fact, in the computer labs IE can not be found on any system. ^_^
Is the drive physically larger? If not, then it would probably be less reliable. This is because when the capacity increases in hard drives, they don't make the platters bigger or anything (as the drives would have no standard). Instead they find ways to cram more data into the same physical space. If you have a ton of data in a tiny space, you are going to have a larger data loss if something like a head crash were to happen.
I used to have Dish Network for about 2 years. I live in Iowa, and we can have some very fierce weather, only a few times has the signal gone out. When the signal did go out those few times, the disruption only lasted a few minutes.
Recently I switched to cable (cableone) due to the fact that they gave me an insanely good deal to trade in my dish. I have broadband through cable, so I am getting a great price now.
I really miss Dish Network though, as the reception on my cable is far from satellite quality. Even digital cable doesnt look as good for some reason. I don't get near as many choices in programming for the price I did with Dish. Speaking of signals going out, since I got cable several months ago, I have had more disruptions in service than I ever had on Dish Network in 2 years.
I am really thinking about giving up the great deal I'm getting on cable to switch back to Dish Network. It is a great service that I highly recommend.
Onstar has had these capabilities in most GM equipped cars for quite some time now. They use the tracking abilities for catching car thieves, they use Onstar to unlock car doors if you lock your keys in the car, they also have the ability to monitor or change any of the guages in the car as well. Whether they use all of the technology or not is another question, but the technology is in the US already.
You should be able to do just that without any special hardware other than that mentioned in the article. You can find more information on programming games for the ps2 here. They have links to tons of tools and compilers and such.
The cost (according to the faq) is ~99 US dollars. It is to include all the hardware, the ebook with tons of documentation on the systems hardware and software capabilities, and a programmable cartridge. Basically everything you will need to make and play a game.
A few years after that... Somebody will release a "Back to Basics" console system with simplistic controls, quality graphics and easy to follow storylines that will take the market by storm...

I've seen these set up in one of the Country Stores playing a DVD. The quality was amazing! I would definetly get one of these over a plasma display.
Qwest did the same thing to me! They said I can not get dsl because I live "too far" away from the CO. The CO is a BLOCK away from me! They said, "..oh well you must be going through a different CO..". There resolution was for me to order a second phone line and MAYBE it will go through the CO a block from me... Yeah... sure.

The Walmart PCs may not come with component video out, but they do come with S-VIDEO out. Along with that is digital audio out. Not bad for $199 IMHO.
Why would I need to buy the distro to have up2date.. It works great for me, and I simply downloaded it. All I needed to do was fill out a couple blanks to set up up2date and voiala.. my icon in the taskbar will notify me when packages installed on my system need updating. How difficult is that?
If the initial reason for the H1B was that there was not enough talented people in the US. Then wouldn't it make sense to examine why that may be the case? One problem I am seeing with a lack of professionals in the tech field is that education is becoming more and more expensive. Wouldn't the resolution to this be more funding for students so they can afford to be educated? Over the past couple years, financial aid has been covering less and less amounts for all students. Every semester I get a notice saying that financial aid is cut by x amount of money due to budget cuts, etc. This just doesn't make sense to me...

That makes a lot of sense and I can see that playing a huge part of the mindset over here.

Try C-SPAN's website. They had permanent split screens the whole time. They also have full archives at their website.

I have not tried the A300. I do know that it runs Sharp's own proprietary OS. This OS is fairly popular over in Japan. It is no linux though...
