  1. The porn doesnt hurt on No Linking To Japanese Newspaper Without Permission · · Score: 1

    "the barriers have kept circulation of print editions quite high compared to the US." I am guessing the 2 or 3 pages of pr0n in most Japanese print newspapers doesn't hurt circulation either.

  2. I know people who are doing this now. on Working from Home on a Tropical Island Paradise? · · Score: 1

    You can actually do it without telling anybody. Vonage phone #, Internet proxy service to mask you IP, a snail-mail forwarding service that looks like a regular mailing address and you're good to go. Of course, it's only really an option for the self-employed, people who make their money as webmasters, freelance programmers, etc. And you should be prepared to travel frequently, since there is still no substitute for face-to-face when working with a team, setting up deals and building trust with clients, etc.

    you don't need a real woman, just a picture of one.

  5. Re:Sexual Assault??! on CA Officials Respond To Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Hentai "games" aren't really games by most of our standards, they're more like extreme slow-motion slideshows with nudity. Or, like all the boring dialogue parts in a FF game, trying to give the characters depth by flooding us with details of their shallow motivations. The ones that make you mash the "confirm" button as you can to try to get the characters to shut up so you can go to the next town before you forget it's name.

  6. Shareware model on Solutions for When Managers Hijack Your Code? · · Score: 1

    I think it is likely that the developers are hoping to increase their importance to the company and hopefully be compensated for this either monetarily or with increased job security. It appears these aspirations may be in jepoardy if their supervisors take the credit. So it's possible this application might be legally considered company property, but who says it has to be fully functional past a specific time frame if certain conditions are not met? Or what if all the most valuable functions are only available in the "full" version? These guys may become skilled developers, but they need to develop their negotiating skills if they hope to get anywhere.
