BOSS commercials are indeed genius strikes. The long running series with TLJ is as successful as ever, and there is no reason to stop it. The marketing people starting and supporting it did they homework well..

Title should probably read: "...thanks to the pullout from Japan."

I'm not sure what you mean... After the quake the US forces did a very good job at helping and cleaning, basically free of charge. I still remember that old Japanese lady, who after having her first bath in two weeks at an American facility in Sendai, complained about the US presence in Japan.
I'm sure that if given the chance, they would do a fair job at protecting Japan from intruding neighbours. Let's hope they are not given that chance. It's a give and take relationship, and both parties must compromise a bit. At least the whole of Okinawa is not a USA territory any longer.

Absolutely nothing wrong.
If you want wrong, look at all the countries from Easter Europe, losing not only money but millions of people to russian communism after losing the war and being incorporated in the soviets. Japan got away easy (I'm strictly talking about the situation after the war, not about the war deaths, far too many on the Japan's side as well). Instead of being thankful for this turn of history, people still complain, always the victims... Open your eyes and look around this world to see how others got.

Absolutely Yes. Everything started with that, and the later relationship between Japan and USA did not changed much in this aspect. Politicians Blah Blah does not count,even a little bit. Not seeing this means someone needs to open their eyes. Alternative to the current situation would have been that the entire Japan would speak Russian and/or be a part of the ex-USSR now. YOU voiceofokinawa, wouldn't like that, would you? I know this from personal experience, coming from behind the Iron Curtain.
Like I said, if one does not like losing wars, one should not start any. It's nasty, but sometimes the truth must be thrown to some people's faces...

Well, every problem here is more or less directly generated by Japan losing the war.
Well, here's the rub, as rough as it sounds: If you don't like loosing wars, don't start any.
There's no talk of democracy in (ex)occupied regions. While those directly involved might be uncomfortable with so much American presence in the neighbourhood, the alternative of speaking Russian or Chinese is surely way more uncomfortable.

this might be the biggest announcement in physics in the past 100 or so years (since Einstein's famous 1907 papers). Stay tuned for more, as it might be historical...

Renho Murata was (is) a very arrogant woman with an extremely limited IQ... Her ranting, (not only against the supercomputer) but against other science projects while she was responsible for the financial reform were among the most disgusting moments in Japan's politics... She was NEVER number one, so it's only natural for her to ask "what's wrong with being number two" .. Here's the answer - everything is wrong... We don't need leaders who are content with being number two - weaklings with no ambition...

I haven't use Windows since XP SP2 was all the rage... Fedora 15 has all the software to support any business, office PC. LibreOffice runs laps around Microsoft Office in terms of stability and speed... I can't understand people who, after they pirated the OS they start pirating Microsoft Office(easily replaced by LibreOffice), Adobe Photoshop (mostly replaced now by GIMP, some professionals prefer GIMP), Visual C++ (Eclipse is so much better in so many details it would take a small book to describe it completely) and so on.

Gogogo, please read what Joe has written...Now, did that told you anything?
What I meant to was that even if jt would have listed the processor type, less than 1 person in 10000 understands what it means in terms of specs, performance and price. This tablet (including it's processor) was announced many months ago, and it destroys the ipad 2 in almost every aspect.that's why the nazi apple wants it out of the market..

Even if they'd tell you, it would probably still not mean much now, isn't it? ;) If you are into this topic, you should already know what the CPU is..

smith - there is a typo - I meant 20yo not 30 :) too bad we can't re-edit our own messages... I think there are fair chances that a 15 yo can be mistaken for being 20 and vice-versa, especially in Asia. It does make a big difference, because there are statutory rape charges in Japan. If he knew about the girl being a minor, he will do a much longer prison term (but this has to be proved). If he didn't know, or the girl just lied to him to begin with, he will get away with a much lighter punishment.
Well this teacher's career is for sure over now...

Hire Mitnick if you haven't already... I bet social engineering played a huge role in this attack. No computer system is safe if a dumb user just tells away his password or access right...

Well some 30 y/o womes strive to look like a15 year old girl, and it can be easy to make a mistake... I doubth the teacher asked for her divers license to check her age...
My guess is that he is lying anyway - especially a teacher would know the difference between a 15 year old person and a 18-20 year old person (male or female)...

ALso, Kan should really write his memoirs - it would be really interesting to know more about how he handled arguably the biggest (un)natural disaster any leader has ever faced...
