On the other hand, if the RE agent suspected or knew of the nature of the information leak, then not reporting that may be illegal. At the very least the RE agents involved should be made public so that they can be avoided (and thus go out of business). You…

In my opinion, the only time a political party in Japan has run the country well, was when they left all the decisions to the experts, ie the technocracy of the post-war showa era. Politicians are generally incapable of running a country, and why shouldn't they be? The skills needed…

I just can't understand these people. Just look at the numbers, do a little math, and you'll see that even if the consumers' purchasing power could be increased temporarily, that won't automatically lead to an increase in spending. The fact is that Japanese people already can afford all they need…

LostinNagoya is right, however the Japanese are worried and would like something to be done. Just as in the US pre-WW2, an embargo will be used. It might not be rational, but that is democracy.

I have a different suggestion. We should use our relatively advanced air force to simply…

I am waiting until they take a Japanese phone and put android on it. While Japanese phones usually have superior hardware (for their price), the GUI and whole operating system are severely lacking. It's also very locked-down. The HTC Magic however, is a few years behind in all but battery…

War is good business. Don't blame the players, blame the game. From a business perspective it makes sense to wage (limited) war, it makes sense to blow billions on satellites, and it even makes sense to fingerprint foreigners. If the people in charge did not allow themselves to be corrupted…

"A sustainable growth path with price stability"? Is Japan going to abolish capitalism and look for a new solution?

Well, most war games have a very inaccurate description of the battles involved, so they can retain the 15+ rating. Therefore, I believe this game would leave out a lot of detail a movie wouldn't. Games are held to a much tighter standard than movies.

It's quite sad because the…
