In Nagoya (i/e motortown/Japan) Porsche/BMW/Benz/Audi are the norm. You also see a lot of Hummer 2 and quite some old American Muscle (Mostly dodge Charger) I even got a dealer close to me that onlys sells factory mint Stingray Corvette. I call shenanigan on the "must change their cars" side of the story at least withour more details.
On a side note, Tokyo is definatly the place NOT to have cars.
Ok, first I must admit that I also feel with a weak stomach with this kind of camera moves.
But it add a "i'm inside this battle" feel that you don't have with clean and slick steady cam behaviours.
Like for plane fighting shots, if you see it from a chase plane angle (or better, a rudder tail cam) you really are into the fight. Not just some kind of passive observator that look at planes far away.
I'm only in IT since 7 years, but so far, the syndrom I always see is
"users are my enemies, they are touching my precious computers to break them, must kill...", not the one you talk about... But I only worked In europe and Japan, maybe your experience is better than mine.
The original post seems not to be about a structure with a byzantine like administration like you imply.
As you say each peson has a role to do, but also each device has a function to perform. To perform this function, Mac need appletalk. Saying that removal of appletalk will remove bandwith trouble is like (another analogy that you will mispresent i'm sure) saying that, in a truck company to get rid of fuel cost you must remove the trucks. Or more bound to earth said: unplug the computer, the bandwith will be back...
We are not talking about an obscur port open on a firewall. We are talking about primary use, and a consultant company that have obviously never heard of macs and offer the usual crap to justify it's pay.
Now if you reverse situation: is it the job of the it dep to defend itself against the technical inability of consultant, making the financial loss of the company double. First paying an unable consultant to screw up an audit an second loosing valuable company time to demonstrate that first the assertions are wrong and therefore, second, company money was wasted.
Company B says Appletalk is the problem generating traffic, cut it.
They are escalating a fact at the rank of a nuisance. It's the same thing as if in winter your kitchen water pipe froze and break. And the expert security company say "hey we found the problem, there's water in the pipes, remove water supply"
And this messages just add insult to... well... this joke... "Yeah, it's your fault if there is water in the pipes, just fix it or your not up to the task..."
Wrong, there is a nationnal ID card in France, established by Marechal Petain during WWII. I'm living in Japan but i'm still always carrying it. Since by the european laws, as a French citizens i'm not supposed to be obliged to show a passport to enter back in my country.
I live in Nagoya and it's either secretary uniforms to look sexy in a fetichist way or a mix of poorly tasted branded clothes. With no regard to matching the style or color. Last autumn fashion was some kind of cowgirl/mooboots shoes with fishnet stockings a tank top over a t-shirt with lace collard and wool bonnet.
AND I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP. it was everyday, everywhere.
Yes there's cool things in Japan (including schollgirls uniforms). But good taste is not part of them...
As an altrnative tgere is also the micro Vaio, big as a newton when folded. But with a regular (transetta proc) PC inside, so with a little twinking you put the OS you want. Some second hand are really cheap but no wifi... Have to search for the prices with Wifi.
Why bother with a PDA when you can have a PC of the same size... (with keyboard like the old beloved Psion)
Does someone still have the link for the picture explaining CS hand language (with things like "Finish my sandwich and reload" or "can't move my cat is sleeping"
It's because 50kph is a legal speed limit in town area. So if you set to 48 you have no risk to reach 50 and be over the limit while with 52 you are clearly over it.
Unlike if you set it to 50 where you are in a shadow zone. It' a feature, not a bug.
That's stupid. Cats have their own personallities, some can live only inside, some need to be outside. Maybe their life is shorter, but it's THEIR LIFE. Like you may die faster if you ride a motorbike. You have no right to chose for others, btw in countries were they belong (i/e: everywhere except australia/newzealand) they just act as pest control. Mine is a house tornado but she's ill at ease outside, so she stay at home. But my father's cat was a sleep at home hunt outside boy. No way to keep him inside when he was awake, but no way to let him sleep outside. YOU CAN'T JUST DECIDE FOR CATS learn this and stop nazification "in the name of god" or "for the sake of children/cats".
Please don't put "Super Etendard" anywhere near the term "modern". I was proud of this bird when it came out in the beginning of the 80. But even by then it was a full scale retard. It can score, but the technology inside was at the same level as the vintage 60' era F4 Phantom.
We (the French) are good at screwing up or beeing 10-20 years late. The Rafale is actually as good as the 91' F15c-to F15E depending on the version. But I think we need few more years to have enought money to buy a sufficient number.
So when did the USAAF disapeared... ? In 1947 at the birth of the airforce ? and why is the US army involved in the A10 training simulator ? (http://www.afrcrequirements.wpafb.af.mil/a10ig.as p)
Seems complicate storry to me (and a continuing pissing contest between Army and USAF as you said...)
I'm also in Japan, with en AU KDDI phone, bilingual, the manuals are all in japanese, you can dowload a 30 page PDF of an Engrish version.
No way to talk without deploying the 10 cm antenna (beeing from France, with GSM and the habit of antenna-less Nokia it's a pain). The phone can do everything and wathever except a correct phone (camera, pocket light, twin color display, GPS -with 600m of circular error probability, 300m precision- and if I paint the stripes it can also make aircraft carrier...) The tech support is of no help, noone speak a single word of english, same goes for Yahoo BB who for a 12Mb service give me a FREAKING 0,8Mb... They didn't even knew what an ethernet port was... (btw the technical limit for xDSL was 6Mb so I don't get how they sell 24 or 48 Mb plans...)
Japanese people are really efficient at giving fakely sincere excuses but the last to be efficient (there was an article on the time in 2002 about the myth of japanese productivity).
As for your comment on the hiring part if you're not bilingual... the japanese society beeing the most racist one in the world they won't hire you if you're not japanese, that's all... unless they are really desperate. Or need you as some kind of "value added cute guy" which works very well for the French these days, but is a definite nightmare for Brazilian or other communities.
Japan from outside is the "Phantasy Island" from inside it's the "planet of apes" (with lots of Mercedes Benz, and Ferrari, and Corvette, and BMW.)
I turn mad if i'm left alone in an office... so at my former job since technicians were often working out I was always taking my desktop comp with me in an office where there was light and people...
At first my boss found it annoying but after he saw that it was this circus or me chatting at the coffee machine all day long he gave up...
Slashdot Mirror
Yes sir, it says not for resale.
It don't forbid me to possess it and leave for another country.
They should enforce the selling part, not the viewing part.
By doing region coding they alienate the end user in order to try to conceal the sellers... As usual, customers are collateral damages...
You notice more schoolgirl 'sailor' uniforms but schoolboys wear uniforms too. Little kids have their little yellow hats.
Secretary, salarymen, parking helpers, nurses, nurses, hummm nurses... all have some.
Uniform seems to be the way for them to tells 'here i'm working' as opposite to 'here i'm on vacation/leisure/shopping spree'
only cats and crows seems to escape the uniforms trend. But cats tends not to do anything anyway...

1) It shows they have the concentration to sit through several years of education, so there's less chance of them quitting within a few months.
Nice so they can safely be dead wood/office drone, they might even fit in a japanese company if they stop breathing
2) It shows they have learnt basic software engineering skills that many geeks do not learn by themselves, such as UML.
Yeah... it show they passed the test... not that they understood the questions
Ok, first I must admit that I also feel with a weak stomach with this kind of camera moves.

Let's call this "immersive"
I think the obligation lies in the fact that blog are not supposed to be disguised commercials.
If you do this, you cheat. And it might not be legal...

No it's not insightfull, it's crap...
Company A use Mac talking Appletalk
Company B says Appletalk is the problem generating traffic, cut it.

HOW IS THIS INSIGHTFULL ?
Wrong, there is a nationnal ID card in France, established by Marechal Petain during WWII. I'm living in Japan but i'm still always carrying it. Since by the european laws, as a French citizens i'm not supposed to be obliged to show a passport to enter back in my country.
I agree for the annoying parts of YuGiOh and DragonballZ... But methink they are japanese... a little...
Totally agrees. And they removed the control for the gearbox which render things less interesting when you're used to downshift for slowing down...
Too much pre-teen babling too from the speaker
Technically it's more PAT (port address translation) rather than NAT (network address translation).
On cisco it's also the "nat overload".
NAT leave you somewhat vulnerable it's a mapping address for address (many to many). Don't feel secure with NAT without firewalling.
PAT is much more closed (many to one).
It's also true that everyone say NAT when they do PAT.
Did you run windows update lately ?
can't blame you, me neither... tired of reinstalling my gaming PC... (and too lazy to make a ghost disk image)
What do you exactly mean by better ?

Can't find it anywhere...
Except the first Beetle was designed by Ferdinand Porsche...
So she's just arboring her father's name...
Japan/YahooBB here, access denied (proxy still works tho...)

Ok, just one thing...
MINUS 20 DEGREE CELSIUS IN WINTER...
need a lot of hot chicks to warm the place... me think...
