Ooop! the party that has strong backing in Nagoya is DPJ, not LDP - sorry to the few people who actually read it!

Badreligion, yes, that is correct. The rule of the same surname refers only to the "normal people" where both of the m have the Japanese citizenship. In the case of my family, several other families I know and your friends, if the wife is Japanese she is now obliged to…

Weasel, have you heard the expression "you get what you pay for"? Well, if you are satisfied with Windows there is absolutely no reason to buy a Mac, and the same goes to anybody else, get and use what you are satisfied with. I find the price of Macs satisfying…

It's interesting, several of the "new features" in Windows 7 I've been using for several years on my Mac.

The…

Thundercat, actually a year or two years ago there was a forest fire caused by a girl from that school who went for a smoke there. This action (setting up smoking rooms in the dorms) was an attempt to solve a bigger problem - how to deal with kids with…

During the news conference he admitted to cheating on Norika "several times." He avoided, however, the question whether that was several times with one partner or several partners, saying that "there is somebody else involved and I don't want to divulge that information."

However, when sk4ek says "he won't be…
