None of which is why I listen to music. I realize that a lot of people like their soap opera or "terebi dorama" mixed with their music, but I do not. IMHO, all that crap is useful for is to sell records when the music won't. I watch FujiTerebi for my drama, and I buy CDs for my music, and I CAN'T STAND being bombarded with crap noises intended to make me buy something through sheer "unforgettability", which is not nearly the same thing as memorability. Watching the sun rise from atop Fuji-San is memorable, whereas the God-Damned Yamada Denki tune is merely unforgettable.
If these guys need to "typify" something, then by all means, they should do it. I wish them good luck, and all that. But DO IT THROUGH THE MUSIC.
And I don't care much for their style of music, anyway. Fine, that's just my opinion. But you can see why I get tired of them very quickly. They're not my friends, and I don't want their advice on TV telling me what to buy.
That's a certain kind of SPAM, which I say we should call SMAP.
I'm assuming that you're American, and I have no clue what level of Japanese you speak, but: I suspect that American celebrities sound pretty smart and interesting if English is not your first language. Same for Japanese?

Anatomy of a Hack

· Score: 0, Troll
Sorry to bust taboo, but I can't believe anybody modded my post "informative". So I certainly agree with the "overrated" mods, but "troll"? Perhaps modding would improve around here if every mod contained the Mod's username.
I live in Japan, and you can NOT get away from the boy-band SMAP. So, it would seem an oddly appropriate typo. Perhaps we should stipulate that AUDIO spam is "SMAP". Different from simple noise pollution, this is audio viral marketing, annoying lodge-in-your-brain-and-fester ad jingles (Yamada Denki, anybody?), and heavy rotation TV and radio promotion of otherwise unplayable music.
It also has a semi-circle of LED lights facing the roach, so when it's about to hit an obstacle an LED will shine on the creature from the direction of the barrier, hopefully causing it to run in the other direction.
I live in Japan. My wife's car beeps when you put it into reverse. Not outside the car, mind you, where it might warn a luckless pedestrian (tm). INSIDE THE CAR ONLY. Perhaps the roach's semi-sircle of LEDs could be added to my wif's car, and we could give the roach a backing beeper.
We'll submit it to the IEEE then post on/. to celebrate our standards-based convergence.
Old Man #1: Tomonaga-san, can you spare 1,000,000,000 yen? Old man #2: Matsuda-san, you need only ask; I am a loan officer in the developed world's most poorly regulated banking system!
Young people are just the ugly face of New Japan. The real crime here is grey.
Note: I don't hate Japan or Japanese. But there are some things I don't much care for--bovine complacency in the face of incompetence, and the "styles" the young folks are wearing.
I live in Japan. I shop in Japan. I would not be surprised to hear that half of the people "working" here are actually robots. They bow mechanically and emit a series of programmed sentences which *will* be completed regardless of whether your shirt is on fire or not. They genuinely try to help you to the best of their abilities. But if you confront them with something they are not expecting ("where are the bean sprouts?"--and it turns out the bean sprouts have been moved), they freeze. As the moments stretch out to minutes, you try to discern a human presence behind the impenetrable facade, but all you will get is a hand clasped to the back of the neck, and the famous sound of sucking wind.
That said, however, the other half (remember, I'm only complaining about half of the workers) will make your day better and your troubles go away. You know--like a *good* robot would.
But driving over here--the machines *have* taken over...
You mindless troll, this research was only into how ice melts, not how it might undergo some sort of "unmelting" process. Please try to keep your comments on-topic--if you want to posit outlandish crankful theories, go somewhere else. Yes! Yes!
It's pretty steady on the first graph; about a 2.1:1 ratio of hostnames to "active" (sites, servers?). I suspect this goes beyond simply registering foo.org and foo.com while only running foo.com. Any suggestions?
...with the first four words of your post. And the last two. As for the lack of a tinfoil-hat, you can download one from http://www.move-on.orgy/ and I recommend you do so soon. You have indeed been pwned; when your hat comes in, fire up foilwall, and go through your brain registry (or.brainrc file), and look for the entry keyed "AlFranken12345BillSocialistMoyers". There's your culprit.
ObOnTopic: click the link above to interact with a REAL LIVE Root DNS Server!...or at least cause one to flinch...
So I actually agree with all of your points, but quibble about timeline. When space travel is a normal mundane thing, and the benign world government takes the global helm, why then we will gladly let them run the Root DNS Servers. But none of that is going to hppen if the system isn't running in the meantime, so we'll hang on to it for now, thank you. No sense letting the League of Nations fudge it all up.
Okay, I apologize for the excessive punctuation. Salary caps? Non-profit? Distributed throughout the world? Only fence you're on is between Moscow and South Moscow.
But hey, just between us, Comrade, be careful. Big Brother watches also the internyet.

Huh? Whatever, sign me up for two.

Actually, Quite happily married American living in Japan. Now-a-days, typing with one hand implies holding a sleeping baby in the other.
But I couldn't resist the dig at this stunning headline.
...but I was too busy counting my girlfriends.

Wouldn't that be an atmotorus?
Yeah, yeah -1 Pedant...
..Just declare it part of the metric system. Or is that the other way round?
Not so fast; here in Japan, I have noticed the low level of English fluency too. What' s this world coming to?
Extra Point!

I don't know that, and at the rate you're proving it, I might never.
