A great lot of those batteries, while labelled Sony, were also made in China and Malaysia.

With China's battery technology at its current state, though, you may see a lot of cars on fire on the side of the street, wouldn't you think?

Japan should send those mini satellites into geo stationary orbit above Pyongyang to and to reflect or emit light to spell out "Kim Jong Il sucks balls!" in the night sky.
Oh, and continuously beaming in the "Naval March" ("Gunkan March" as played in many Pachinko parlours in the old days)or Kimigayo in an endless loop to NK radio stations may be an added plus.

"Is this a “satellite” launch in the North Korean sense of the word?"
Naw, the Japanese have actually succeeded in keeping their satellites in orbit as opposed to NK who chucks rocks in a parabola to the Pacific....

Now only if UA would start inplementing policies for their old, surly and obese flight attendants... can't they walk down the eisle without their thunder thighs/hips smacking every head or shoulder of those sitting in aisle seats? In C class, no less... That's why I like to fly Asian carriers for trans-pacific flights...

Good move by UA. I've had my share of nighmares where the fatty next to me had to get a seat-belt extender plus he/she couldn't get the armrest down - meaning that 20% of his/her body was in my seat. Why should I be subsidizing the fatty's airfare when I paid for 100% usage of my seat?
Not only should they start measuring the width/girth by using test seats prior to boarding (or those figures like those you see at amusement rides), perhaps they should start charging surcharges for people who weigh more than, let's say 125kilos since their weight probably makes the flight heavier and thus less fuel efficient. Hell, they do that for luggage.
Thank god that recently I'm flying F or C class so there's a better border between the seats.
Regarding litigation, I think Southwest has had this system in place for a while and it has withstood any challenges. Besides, being fat is not, I believe, a protected class in the USA (nor should it be).

Every and any act is deemed an act of war by NK, so go ahead and cut any and all aid to NK.

Perhaps all of the countries, including the neighbouring countries, start a total embargo and walk away from the talks, and also immediately halting any and all traffic of aid and monies into and out of NK.
The neighbouring countries can also start increasing their military spending for defense against any future NK aggression, and such spending may be able to boost the economies of the countries by increased purchases of heavy industrial goods and high-tech products.
Meanwhile NK goes further back into the stone ages with no fuel and/or food and their starved citizens can revolt against the fat toad leader.
(well, one could wish for a simple solution such as the above...)
