Just because mountaineers needed permission to enter tibet does not mean tibet was an internationally recognised sovereign nation.
If you read the wikipedia article on tibet, you will see that Britain, France and Russia recognised China's sovereignty of tibet in 1907. The governments of China have never withdrawn their claim since then.
I hate what China is doing in Tibet (and the rest of the country) like everyone else, but historically, Tibet was never recognised as a sovereign nation. There are lots of arguments against Chinese possesion of Tibet, but that isnt a valid one.
Why does every American remake of a Japanese movie/series have to replace the Japanese names with anglo ones?
Its like some insecurity complex.
America is not the centre of the world. Get over it.
"Instead, this seems to just be a mod to sell for profit."
The materials the mods are made from are all sold for profit by large corporations, so what is the difference with normal people selling mod'ed equipment they enjoy making? Im sure people would like to buy this, since anything is an improvement over the horrible, horrible aesthetics of the M$ machine.
Oh yes! I have been waiting for some closure to the story for years! I cant belive it was so short, when half of it was sequences with bad bad music and no action.
You dont know what you are talking about.
This will hardly affect computer sales in Japan. The costs are insignificant and this is an excellant way for the government to control the way in which these old computers are destroyed.
I dont see how 28 bucks is going to stop someone buying that 4000 buck VAIO
Yoga is great, but when its used as just another tool of the management to increase profits the employees just see through it and nothing is achieved. Its pretty disheartening and annoying to be drafted into something "For your own good" (the company)... Oh well, I wouldnt mind doing yoga at work.. It beats making money for somebody else:P
Damn straight. Employees will only work to their full potential if they actually benefit from their own labours. Amasingly cheap arse salaries are not enough. These are the people who make the money, dont they deserve to have a piece of the profit? Sure they might get stock options or something, but that wont make up for the huge differance between the average workers salary and what upper admin gets.
The loss of family time especially is a huge factor in productivity in this age of ever increasing overtime. If they only could start from the basics instead of experimenting with various fashionable new-age techniques... we would have higher productivity and a more stable society.

Now we can be seven minutes to nuclear midnight where ever we go.
Well I dont think it would save the lives of the soliders on the other side of the wall, thats for sure
Just because they rebelled against China, doesnt make them a sovereign nation.
No other country recognised Tibet's sovereignty.

No country in the world recognised Tibet as a sovereign nation before it was taken over by China.
A sequal? Shouldnt he be working on a god damn ending for ghost in the shell?

In this case, it was a just a joke anyway!

Its only 51% government owned, soon to be sold off.
