  1. It's real. I worked there at the time. on A Look At the Rare Hybrid Console Built By Sony and Nintendo · · Score: 1

    It's looks real. I haven't seen that device since it was sitting in the design center in Tokyo. Last time I saw it, it was in the Aoyama Twin Building on the 15 floor where we shared offices with Epic Sony which became Sony Music Entertainment). BTW, in the video the guy has since posted, there is a mark on the back that he says looks like a Z or a 5. It7s neither. It's the Japanese character often used as a quality control signoff.

  2. 11 year old son's non existing email address slurp on LinkedIn Accused of Hacking Customers' E-Mails To Slurp Up Contacts · · Score: 1

    I purchased my domain name 10 years ago the same day .jp became available. (mylastname.jp) At that time, I hosted it on a florida based ISP then moved to GoDaddy and finally last year to GoogleApps. I created email addresses for my immediate family from day 1. Myself, my wife and my two boys aged 1 and 0 at the time. The boy's accounts where never logged into although there was a secure password set. When I move the domain to GoDaddy, the email accounts did not come over and all data on the old ISP was deleted. Again when moving to GoogleApps the addresses of the boys did not get created. The addresses are, however, in my address book. Which is hosted to my mylastname.jp account on GoogleApps. So you'll understand my surprise when my son's name and email address turns up as a 'Person you may know' on Linkedin. How did they get the address? It hasn't existing in a system for over 7 years, and as far as I know, only resides in my address book. Sure his last name is the same as mine and the email address is mylastname.jp, so there might be a connection there. But the point is, where did they get the address from in the first place? There has never once been an email send from that address. The other concern is that his name and the full email address was clearly shown on screen. What's with that?

  3. Do a 'Chargeback" with you credit card issuer on Recourse For Poor Customer Service? · · Score: 1

    The proper procedure is to call you credit card company (the financial institution that issued the card to you) and have them start a chargeback for "goods not recieved". That will take the money away from Dell and most likely get their attention and more than likely to have them contact you.

  4. Godzilla Statue in Tokyo on The Real Monsters Behind Godzilla · · Score: 2, Informative

    for those interested. The Godzilla statue is located in Hibiya, Tokyo. Directly infront of the original Toho theater. Now known as the Toho Hibiya Building. (the orange building under the cross. The indicator is the location of the statue)

  5. And the US wonders why Japan and S.Korea on Appeals Court Rules US Can Block Mad Cow Testing · · Score: 1

    And the US beef industry and Gov. wonder why Japan and S. Korean consumers don't buy their beef products! Living in Japan, I NEVER buy US beef. It can not be trusted and until the US Gov. allows 100% testing, it should not be allowed to be exported.

  6. But japan has an Tabacco ID card? on Magazine Photos Fool Age-verification Cameras · · Score: 1

    It's called the TASPO. http://www.taspo.jp/english/taspo/index.html Tokyo starts tomorrow!!

  7. Plug and Play NAS on Best Home Network NAS · · Score: 1

    I have a 2TB Buffalo TeraStation. 2TB in RAID 5 config. It's so simple. Plug it in and away you go. The only bad think about it is that it only can create Windows or FTP mount points. But then, I just use Sampa client to mount them.
    Costs around UAD600 in Japan (where I am).

  8. Re:wifi on LinuxWorld Response to 'How to Kill Linux' · · Score: 1

    But I don't want to buy NEW hardware. I want a driver for my existing 2 year old wifi card!! Is that too much to ask for. Obviously.

  9. Buffalo WiFi Cards, pinnacle DV500 on LinuxWorld Response to 'How to Kill Linux' · · Score: 0, Troll

    Ok then, if this is not a problem, why is there no drivers for these two devices. They work on Windows 95/98/2000/XP? Please someone point me to the drivers. If there packages for FC3, even better.
    Hey and you know, MS has one installation method, how about Linux?

  10. V 2 V ?? on New Intel Trademark Filed · · Score: 1

    What happens if you think about it interms of e-commerce. It might be V2V. A new e-commerce app their going to throw at us.?? Vehicle 2 Vehicle? Volts 2 Volts? Or with a russian accent... failure 2 fabulous

  11. And not making a brass ra zoo on Meet The Co-Creator of Firefox · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just think, If every 19 year old did and internship and produced something of this quality by the time they were 19 and still being driven to work by mum and not colecting royalties. Someday, bloody someday.

  12. Hey Osama on FCC to Allow Wireless Access on Planes · · Score: 2

    I got onboard OK. Are the others ready?

  13. Bullet Train on The Japanese/American Tech Deficit · · Score: 1

    and after 25 years, America still does not have a high speed train between any two major cities.
    Tokyo City center --> Osaka city center (552.6km/343.369721 miles) in 2.5 hours. Envy Factor: 5

  14. http://weatherpixie.com/ on Weather Data Available in XML · · Score: 1

    This has to be one of the best weather sites out there for non technical people. It's simple to view, easy to read and even non /.ers can put it on their own web page without coding (it's provided for you).

  15. Japan is even worse on Network Scheduling to Mess with Tivo · · Score: 1

    The most popular news program starts at 9:54. 3 minute before the other channels dramas finish. And 10 million people switch at 9:54!! Something must be working there.

  16. Re:What about the bookstores? on Amazon Japan Offers Barcode Purchases via Camera Phone · · Score: 1

    Funny, I turned the sound off on my Vodafone SH801 with a 2.2 meg digi cam built.

  17. Guilty or not on Internet Hunting · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So if you kill someone while on-line are you guilty? And how are they going to get you if you're in some far off country. This is a dangerous idea that could (most likely will) get way out of hand.
