  Hokkaidoguy - I doubt all Germany did towards reconciliation was due to the Cold War going on. Cold War ended 20 years ago but their policies towards war remain the same. Try going to Germany and protest against the apology approach they have - it will surely bring you in…

  nisegaijin, although I'm not German I have the chance to work with many German colleagues. I'm telling you, their culture, education and lifestyle is one of apology. Since being perhaps three years old, Germans start learning about the horrible things done by their country and the fact that it should…

  fatloser - same question from me.. Why always become the Americans' pet when they could ask European countries with a history of preservation far longer than the entire history of America... Japanese people's lack of intelligence with regards of preservation (cities change face every 20-30 years or so, and it's…

  Japan, which in the past has faced criticism for keeping prisoners on death row for decades before their executions, has increased the pace of hangings in recent years.

  blvtzpk - You're right and I was about to make the same comment. More important as her role as a piece of entertainment (mostly for the media, I should say) the princess is just a normal child. By using "debut" the media continues to focus on her disregarding who she…

  Ah yaa - Robert Walters - these guys tried to convince me I'm worth far less than what offers I already got by having interviews directly with the employers. Now they come trying to convince everybody it's far better to work as a contractor and have them as intermediators (so…

  MythTV... MythTV... MYTHTV (Are there any bigger letters here than bold? :) ) It does everything better than TiVo and it's free and open-source. Just try MythDORA or other quick install distributions. It works in Japan and with a huge variety of tuners (last time I tried it with Plextor's…

  ogie - a very good pointless point :). The main reason it was pulled out was because it was not fitting the the general atmosphere of the festival - just imagine having a horror splatter movie at a "Children's Anime Festival" - now how would this fit in? - the…
