Sounds exactly like the same stuff windows users say. I guess Mac is becoming more and more like their nemesis. Shoddy software is just the start, wait till they start showing the blue screen of death.

and would it not be too late if the operator was on vacation for a couple of days and when he came back the death threat had already taken place... one can only do so much as to delete, delete and keep deleting stuff. JT should know all about that all to much. If one was to post instructions to build a bomb depending on the time of day it probably wouldn't be removed for an hour or so. What if JT was hacked and linked to some terrorist network, should everyone be locked up for it?

maybe FujiFilm, Cannon or Nikon can make a mobile phone which actually takes reasonably good photos.

I heard Yoshinoya got 5 stars, but they turned it down because they didn't want to raise the prices.

a stronger Russia would mean what? they have enough internal problems as well as the rest of the world watching them do stupid stuff. I think they have reached a point where although they pretend they don't care how other countries view them inside they want to be the good guys. Another cold war would devastate the country especially without the rest of the Soviet Union (perhaps they will try to reunite them, haha)

some of you really need to get out of your hole a bit more, at least wonder beyond the boundaries of Shibuya-ku, Chiyoda-ku, Shinjyuku-ku, Shinagawa-ku and Minato-ku. Maybe pop down to Yokohama or a day trip to Kamakura or something to find something new for your taste-buds. Japan has always been underrated because the simplest of foods are often beyond the taste recognition of many foreigners. It is said it takes at least 5 years to become accustomed to the subtle tastes Japan has to offer for anyone used to all the unnatural flavorings used in just about everything else. Ever noticed how some foods numb your tongue by the time your finished and you can't seem to taste anything...
Anyway Michelin has always been a multitude of things including everything from cleanliness of the toilet to timed serving and probably lighting, size of the table, comfortable seats and sharp knifes, but the reality is who cares if it tastes wonderful and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Perhaps they are changing their methods of scoring since to own a nice restaurant in Tokyo you already have to be a millionaire to start with. Do they ever try out restaurants of cruise liners?

Absolutely hilarious thread, love it. Tells me a lot about the people supporting either side. Couldn't careless who wins, but a little less war would be nice. Perhaps a weaker US would do the world some good and balance out the powers. IF the US was in such a position to only worry about themselves and only themselves then maybe other countries will learn from them and follow suit. Cutting down on arms and actually thinking about their own citizens. As for the totalitarian dictatorship regimes, well they won't survive forever. Hopefully I have sparked some more nationalistic views with all this loose talking...
Now let round 2 commence!!

aha, so it's not just something that happens in Japan. Welcome to the world of the blame game... make sure nobody does anything anywhere so nobody gets sued.

DenshaDeGO> That was when Hiro just turned 12... yeah 6th graders girls do tend to overreact and cry for no real reason.
Speed was phenomenal, they changed J-Pop in it's entirety. Every other girl band since then is a tribute to them or should I say the companies behind them. Unfortunately Okinawa Actors School has become too institutionalized and lost that spark it once had during it's prime. The label Toy's Factory vanished over night. Anyway the producer Ichiji Hiromasa would be the equal if any to Komoro Tetsuya racking in just as much dough over the years.

It's a grave yard, if people have a problem dig em up and scatter them around Japan to their homeland graves is what some would say. Personally I distaste any grave yard dedicated for soldiers. The acres and acres and acres of US Army, Marines and Airforce grave yards with shooting in the air, fighter planes flying over, salutes and flags and what not... whats with that... can any of them choose not to have a grave, i.e ashes scattered along the seashore or shot up into space?
