    Are you serious? MS-IME is sophisticated?

    It's still quite damn sutipid conversion engine which can be written by animal. I guess MS is employing monkeys to develop it. Using MS-IME is like pounding your nail with a hammer.

    I use it just because MS-IME comes with my office PC.

    It's the reason why I like to write docoments in English rather than in Japanese although my native language is Japanese, I have never lived outside of Japan.

  5. I have recently switched to 3G. on A Detailed Review Of A 3G Phone And Network · · Score: 1

    The reasoson is NTT Docomo has started to support GSM cmpatible USIM card on 3G phone(it's called FOMA Card). Just inserting FOMA card into GSM phone enables to connect to telephone network. Motion picture, higher data taransfer speed were not enough to persuade me.

    I have sufferd enough from dis-compatiblity between PDC(Japan's 2G service) and GSM.

    Just new FOMA card has justified cost of transer(approx $230), shorter battery life(40% of before), heavier terminal weight.

    Yes, that's right.

    Given memory price range, it's not difficutlt to set up database avoiding disk access in most cases. As for Oracle, majority of tuning tips are used to keep required data on RAM from more than ten years ago the first time I used.

    The first step to tune it up is always to check buffer cache hit ratio.

  8. Not Well-Know fact re Fujitsu. on RedHat, Fujitsu Enter Into Marketing Agreement · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Fujitsu has 128 Sparc compatible cpu / Solaris server in its line up. Hopefully, Joint effort between Fujitsu and RedHat would improve Linux capability on that front (I mean the capability to harness more CPU).
    Here is a news release to announce that they will update server line-up with new SPARC compatible 1.35 GHz CPU in an attempt to take back No1 spot of TPC-C benchmark.

    Fujitsu's CEO Mr. Akikusa has recently predicted that every chip will finally implement Linux.

    The bad thing is Fujitsu is another Japanese company struggling to come back to be profitable.

  9. I personally imagine. on Sun May Use Opteron Chips · · Score: 1

    I personally imagine, SUN will produce Intel or AMD
    based web-application server board(PCI or something else) which can be plugged into SUN/Solaris box.

    Given the fact that application server is extremely CPU power hungry and most component are made by platform independent Java, designing PCI board to run
    web application server does make sense and reduce
    H/W cost.

    Looking at Oracle's Application server, only part, which is platform dependent, is Apache itself. All others are Java. Just developing mechanism to load Intel/Linux/Apache code to designated board may be enough.

    Solaris/SPARC didn't loose edge against Intel/PC as DB server. But considering price disparity, Solaris/SPARC as web application server platform does not have bright future

  10. Isn't ENGLISH a complex language? on Complex Language Support for PDA's? · · Score: 1

    I'm Japanese. English is just second langugage for me and it's complicated enough for me.

    BTW, I'm using Palm, actually IBM's workpad. It supports Japanes language well and came with english/japanese and japanese/english dictionary. But, it's very small and seems not to fit study purpose.

    Palm OS machine sold in Japan has some HW enhance
    ment to make input Japanese compfatable. Missing them could make experience painful. I have used old Palm machine sold by US robotics w/o such a enhancement. It was still usable but far less than what I have.

    My vote will go to Sharp's Linux, I have never seriouly used it though. Linux is Linux, anyway.I have used for almost 8 years. Since the first day, I can input/edit Japanese without any problem.

    It's simply misunderstood. interpol has no substantial troops. Zenigata is dispatched by Japanese Police to investigate Lupin under the cover of interpol. His ID cards are issued by Tokyo Met. Police "è¦è¦-å". So it does make sense than it looks.

    # The not well-knows fact is Area of Tokyo Met. includes most desolated islands in pacific ocean. be careful.

    Some DSL provider are servicing VOIP phone service with very discount rate to call US(1.5$ per hour to call US in my case).

    The problem is to get service by English. Every DSL provider is very domestic. The very recommendable first step is to look for Japanese speaking friend knowing ADSL.

    ADSL is very popular in Japan. Most of my friend has moved from dial up/ISDN to ADSL. but it depends on segment and industory.

    New standards are introuduced just recently. I don't follow up these detail. but they are called Annex.C and Annex.A.ex. They could be HDSL or VDSL although I don't what they exactly are. Everybody calls 12Mbps service as ADSL. As for service range, provider are claiming 12 Mbps service range is almost same as 8Mbps. I'm just a mile away from POC, so I don't care much about service range. There is a diagram between linespeed and distance from POC here. Sorry for poor information.
