If I was interested in trying out a new operating system, I'd try out linux long before I'd try out a new version of Windows.

No, never been there, but I appreciate knowing the kind of position salespeople are put it. It will be helpful when we find ourselves dealing with them.

Yodobashi is not a store. Yodobashi Camera is a store. Yodobashi Camera doesn't play the Beatles, it plays its own theme song, a pumped-up version of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, written by William Steffe in 1855. As MeanPingo pointed out, Comme ca is the store with the endless Beatles track. Comme ca store is located in the Yodobashi building in Osaka, as well as many other locations.

So, basically, it's a closed circuit television system in a mannequin that has a movable face? That doesn't appear to be much different than the robots they had at Disney World 35 years ago.

Imagine winning and getting a 1099 (US tax report) for $94,350. Income tax on that would be about $30,000 that you have to come up with on your own. "The approximate retail value (ARV) of one free standard-night stay at a Hyatt hotel is $ 190 USD. The total ARV of 365 nights is $69,350 and the ARV of 1 million frequent flyer miles is $25,000. The Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) for the Grand Prize package is $94,350 USD. Sponsor will comply with all tax reporting obligations. All applicable federal, state, provincial, and local taxes and fees, if any, are the sole responsibility of the prize winner."

It is wrong to look at this tragedy and believe that if there were no guns, that this murder/suicide would not have occurred. Mental illness was the cause of this crime.

I think we can all agree that this guy, able to kill himself and his five children was, by definition, mentally ill. Guns are not required in order to kill if someone is intent on doing so.

Though this is sad, the problem isn't guns. Take away this man's gun and he could have easily loaded his children in a car and intentionally crashed it with the same tragic result.

One in which everyone had a loaded gun, because I would realize how foolish it would be for foreign states to attack.

I don't see any change in the last 18 years in Japan. People here are taller, certainly, but not fatter.
Now, if McDonald's could just bring back the Chicken Tatsuta.

Black hair looks better. It contrasts nicely with light colored skin. Then dress in a strong color like red or blue. Celebrity Beige would act as camouflage if she walked into Starbucks.

What? McDonald's has been in Japan for 20+ years, and Japanese haven't gotten much fatter.

Increase the size of the reward, preferably by taking 20% of the salaries of the 9 incompetent police officers who let him escape in the first place.

The main benefit for me to being Premier is the extra 5 inches of legroom you get in Economy Plus. But since United is now selling Economy Plus seating for $349 per year, it's less expensive for me to travel less, let my premier status lapse and just pay for Economy Plus.
