No, straight lines are just simpler for US to understand. Many things in nature, if you take a step back from it, are based on the spiral. It's more complicated, but still ordered.
Even being charged with a felony can cause problems. I recently got a job in a different country. They REQUIRED a FBI background check. I had been arrested for minor possession of alcohol a while ago and had forgotten about it because it was dismissed in court. But that was still on the FBI record because the communication between city/state and federal branches of law enforcement are shit. Long story short, it cost me the job. They flat-out told me they would hot hire me because I did not disclose everything.
Seriously, fuck the police. And the federal state communication needs to be fixed too.
The average cost for a pack of cigarettes in Japan is about 2.50 American dollars. There is no SIN TAX here. Shit's stupid anyway. Especially in America where there is no public healthcare.
Because it is not a driver's license. Almost no one has one in Japan because we don't driver cars here. It is the glory of public transportation. Anyway, the license they are talking about is for tobacco vending machines only. They can only be received through a tobacco vendor/shop. Also, before this, the machines stopped working at 11:00.
Ok, I guess you misunderstood. She would put it on vibrate, and that was not a problem. But, if there is a kill switch that would automatically turn off her phone.... You know what, just re-read what I wrote. Apparently I can't convey a thought through writing, or you don't understand the English language. Someone looses here.
Also, you can be on the transplant list for years. You know it really pisses me off when people don't RTFA, but it pisses me off to an extreme when people don't read, or at least attempt to understand, the post they are replying to.
Ok, I can see part of your argument, but think about limiting a device rather than cutting all power to it.
For example, my grandmother was recently on the list for a lung transplant. The transplant team was to notify her via cell phone that they had a lung ready for her. Now, if she went to a movie theater where there was an "Auto-power off device" and some kid making 6 dollars an hour forgot to put up the sign saying that the device was active then she could have missed her chance to get a lung transplant because she was spending the time watching a movie, that could possibly be three hours long. What about a device that puts the phone on vibrate or something. Why is it that the Western world is so drastic?
TL;DR version, how about a "limiting switch" as opposed to "kill switch"?
Actually Sumo wrestlers are extremely fit. They may have quite a bit of fat, but under all that is an enormous amount of muscle. Their day is basically eating and training, so yes, they have more fat than most people, but their bmi is probably better than most the rest of us. They also slim down after retiring quite fast.
That aside, I'm not surprised to read that the Slashdot community is against this becoming a trend in their own country, but maybe the Slashdot community is, as we all guessed, overweight geeks behind a computer screen.
I moved to Japan about two years ago, and the diet here is completely different. There are also fast food options that are not McDonalds, Burger King, and other fatty American fast food companies. Outside every station there is it would be hard not to find a locally small locally owned curry or ramen shop. Even fast food chains', such as Yoshinoya and Matusya who specialize in gyudon (beef bowls), serve low calorie meals fast. According to Callorie King the Yoshinoya regular sized beef bowl only weighs in at 770 callories. The Large bowl, which I find almost impossible to finnish, only has 1090 callories. The large is almost 300 calories less than a BigMac and fries.
The tl;dr version. PUT DOWN YOUR FORK/SPOON/SKEWER/CHOPSTICKS/HUNTINGKNIFE and show some restraint people. I know I'm going to get modded down for this, but fat people generally disgust me. And, it is nearly impossible to reason with one about their caloric intake unless they have had a recent health problem related to it.
*Please not that this comes from someone who is 5'8" and used to weigh 250 lbs and has since slimmed down to 170 lbs after simply realizing they were disgusting.*
Wrong about the Japanese phone market. Japan doesn't care about it being small. They care about them being full of options and thin. Big screen, lots of programs, high megapixel camera, tv, mp3 player phones are all I see on the train in Tokyo, but the thing is they are thin. I mean REALLY THIN. Japan currently has the thinest flip phones in the world. I think they are DOCOMO phones. Don't feel like looking it up.
The point is that thin is what I want. I want it wide and thin. Don't care about small. Learn more about countries before you spout generalizations about a community. *The opinions of a Japanese Studies Major.*
This is where Western people REALLY don't understand Japanese business practices. Kutaragi failed BIG TIME, and when you do that in Japanese business it is considered "honorable" to step down. This is not weird to Japanese. Just unsaid rules of the system. Kind of like a code. Think of "parle" in Pirates. Kinda like that.
*Also, I have some credability being a Japanese studies major, but only a little.*
nothing to see here move along,
seriously what is with these completely useless articles on slashdot of late. this has been up on gamefaqs for HOW long now? come on, i expect more sometimes. i'm going back to 4chan, better and faster news
See this is where you are wrong. I'm living in Tokyo right now, and I go about every other day to Akihabara to try to get a Wii. For the last week the PS3's have been stacked up behind the counter, and when I say stacked I mean 4 wide square 10 high with at least 4 piles everyday. Looking at Yodobashi-Akiba (the largest electronics store in Japan) they have had the sign saying that PS3's are in stock for the last 1 and a half weeks as well as every other electronics store in Japan, but when you look above that sign it says the Wii is sold out. I have never seen that sign change. I wish it would because I want a Wii.
Hmm, this just seems a little odd to me. I was talking to my mother last weekend, and she just happens to be the head of Infection Control at my local hospital. The very odd thing is that her exact words were that this virus was only comparable to the flu of 1918, the various other facts mentioned here. Just seems a little odd that the flu of 1918 was mentioned by her. Just saying that from speaking with a medical woman with a Masters and also knowing her very well that this could be very big. I'm not running into the streets shouting the end of the world, but it is good to be informed about this. So far there is no way to stop it and that fact that the Chinese are feeding the vaccine to the chickens only makes harder to control the virus after it mutates in response to the vaccine. Now, go look for information about the 1918 flu and see a the little simmilarities. ja
Yes, but at the same time word of mouth of a good game will give it much of the promotion. There are several games that have come out that I believe to be wonderful games, but just didn't attract due to beautiful screenshots. Take Disgaea for example by Nippon Ichi software. It is a wonderful game, but I never heard a word of it till my friend told me about it.
Although IBM is a great company and makes great machines would it do much harm to get someone to actually design their computers. I mean honestly they look like shit even though the hardware is great. Gotta love'em though.
I was part of the Pilot classes used for this. I go to a "gifed and talented" school by the name of The Indiana Academy, and our entire class was used to test this procedure. The thing was taht there were so many problems with the pilot that no one, not even the person the testers sent, could get the program to work correctly. This was last year by the way. Watch out for this stuff. There are some things computers simply should not be used for.

This is true. This sort of thing has been around for QUITE a while. I mean it is sometimes used at music concerts. Although they try not to have them, but they do. It will sound scrambled in some spots durring a concert. It's the same general idea. Come on, I mean we were talking about this stuff in a high school physics class yesterday for god's sake. Nothing new, but it is interesting.
Damn, I clicked the wrong button and didn't get to fix my errors. Sorry for the crappy spelling and such.
(Offtopic I know, but eh, what can a poor man do....cept for a rock and roll band!)
"What would have been the problem with making the movies EXACTLY like the book. I'm talking word for word. Sure it would have been VERY VERY long, but just think of how much better it would have been."
That is what I would hope that all Tolkien fans were thinking, as was I, but people say it was impossible.
The answer is that it is a simple power issue. For the most part the changes, the changing of parts, and the adding of chracters is because people wanted to leave their mark. The head of WETA states that his favorite character is the Orc leader that was added to the movies. He simply like what he has created, as Aule did in in the books with the Dwarves.
I would have loved to have an exact copy, but people would have complained about it being 12 hrs. per movie. That and those bastards at WETA had to leave their mark.
(I hate the head of WETA and his STUPID ass voice.)
As other people have said this is completely obvious, and has been going on for a long time. The only thing that NYT has done is make it hard to do this because more people will be doing this. It's going to be a fad of sorts for a while. *LOOK A MONITeR!*(It's obvious and misspelled! I'll look on Ebay. Hmmm, I hate you NYT...)
This is a good idea, but I beleve it is implimented in the wrong way. People are not going to buy jackets that have this. Why not put this technology/idea into a backpack? You could place the solar panels on the sholders on the backpack, or even a sort of side bag that has become so popular. Woul this not be a more appealing idea? Personally I would buy a backpack that had this feature. My laptop always needs those good ol' rays of cancer.*gigle*

Ehrm.... No. Japan has only laws for producing child porn. Everything else is fair game, and that is from one of the most powerful economic countries in the world. http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/20081130TDY02303.htm

The government is doing this only for businessmen. That is it. I would say RTFA, but I'll have to revise and say WTFV (Watch the Fucking Video).
