Yea, maybe they can have checking accounts, but what can they do with it? They can't write checks, can't get a debit card... So it's useless. I don't see why they shouldn't give out debit cards, the kids couldn't lose more than they have, so the bank doesn't take a big risk...
Carlsen Comics", a german publisher, is bringin out more manga, translated to german, to all the german speaking countries in the area (Switzerland, Austria, etc.) As you can see from their frontpage, they're importing all the big hits in Japan to europe. I don't know if they also sell them in France, since there's deffinate interest in comics there. Carlsen also brought out a magazine, BANZAI! which is like the famous Shojen-Jump, a weekly magazine in Japan which contains many comics from different artists, and news from the scene. They have correspondents in Japan, which sign deals for new comics, and, like their Japanese counterpart, bring news about Japanese pop-culture. After the rampant success of BANZAI! they're introducing a new magazine DaiSuki for girls, which contains comics more aimed at girls. (There's a sister magazine to Shojen-Jump, which does the same, but I can't remember the name).
But now we have webcomics, which many people read daily/weekly/ or the popular M/W/F. I think with mobile computing and mobile internet access rising, it will make more sense to just read a dozen webcomic in the train, instead of going out and buying a book. And this is much friendlier to nature, no paper being thrown away by the tons. And many of these comics are free, many artists, if they have a large enough readership, bring out print books that you can order online.
The Swiss Franc is the last currency in the world baked by gold. That means they have more gold stored, than currency in circulation at any point in time.
Actually DBZ wasn't made by Akira Toriyama, the original author of the manga. It was made by the team that worked with him on the original Dragon Ball anime, but he himself wasn't involved. What he did work on was the Dragon Ball GT anime. He also drew a manga for Dragon Ball GT. (And it didn't suck, it was ok, but that doesn't matter here:)
Here's what PopSci has to say
on this. They think the big hubs will be replaced by many small local airports that will opperate in a taxi-like service..
As you pointed out, those would be the only things you'd want to watch. But I disagree with you on the news. Instead of having to listen to everything the newsperson has to say, you can select which topics you want to hear more about. (Than the short sumary which has the link to the video.) Also, I'm fairly certain they can string videos together to make longer videos. And have you ever thought of seeing who you're talking with on the phone... might be useful.
...why they built the ISS. It's to experiment how humans live in space. If we're going to go anywhere far away, we need to know how to keep our travelers healthy. The ISS helps us understand the effects of weightlesness on the human body and lets us prepare our travelers better.

*Jaw hits floor* You'd need quite the machine to serve up that kind of data. I don't think the usual "webcafe" owner will have one...

That's Quake IV or DOOM III.

Personally, the day Quake III comes out is the day I upgrade my video card.
Well, you're a couple years late, better hurry!

I'm sorry - if you're a doctor or something and have business that important, just get a beeper or use text messages or something.
A beeper? You know what they do? They BEEP! They should get a vibra...err...beeper that vibrates instead.
it's called dragon ball GT :) the sequel

Those don't look like friendly letters to me....
