Imagine the fun if someone in the office confuses the serial numbers of the laptop lost and the one his colleague is working with.

By the way, some clever server administrators have used a comparable idea years ago: Using a pager, and connecting the output to the reset of a server. In case the server has crashed and is not reachable via network, it can easily reset by making the right phone call (plus secret code).

Let's see it another way round:
Make a special call by phone to this card, and the computer is rendered useless, while the politician sitting in front of it will wonder, why his favorite AV movie has stopped.

Actually, the oldest man (or woman) can never die. Even if he (she) apparently does so, there is another one to fill the gap.

This is why I have a back-camera at my wagon-style car. The standard mirrors don't give enough information when going backwards.

The smart might fall into the category, if the engine displacement is reduced to the 660 cc limit in Japan.

These children look like primary school. Probably to early to talk seriously about drugs.

As long as Mariko Ishihara is not divorced, there should be no marriage between Mariko Ishihara and Koji Tamaki. I think HE should get angry about her not having made a clear cut. Maybe he should just dump her, before the marriage is legally accepted in Japan. Might be cheaper than another divorce later.

I saw an ad recently in Tokyo Gaimusho (Foreign Ministry), where Aki Hoshino was telling people not to forget to have their Passports with them, when traveling in foreign countries. Seems she does not follow what she wants to teach to others.

PepinGalarga:
What you are describing makes perfect sense in a working environment known and expected in Western countries, for example in Europe.
Combined with "non-competition" is usually that the company has to pay some money, in the order of half of the normal salary for the non-competition period. Here in the article, it does not say that she received money.
I expect that she was somehow "hard-pressed" to sign the mentioned agreement - for example, something "unwanted" might happen to family members. Or, in old Al Capone style, she received an offer she could not decline.

Maybe she has Olympic sex.
Does it mean, it is so good? No.
It happens only every 4 years, and on this occasion it's 5 times a day.

I was talking of the dish dryer function of the dish-washer. With domestic models, as the one displayed here, the water from the wet dishes is basically send as some kind of steam into the room.
Now, in the import models, this wet air hits a cooled pipe, and then the water is collected and goes to the kitchen sink, not into the room.
More explanation found at:

For details you can look at (for example):
Ascenta Dishwashers SHX3AM05UC
and then click on the link named "Condensation Drying".

Cleo: You don't need to give up your dishwasher. My family also has one. And, yes, we use night mode. Still, I do not understand, why a Panasonic dish-washer in night mode has to tell with loud 6 beeps that it is ready. At day time, when it is noisy, OK. At night it should be as quiet as possible.
Back to the topic: the problem is that these dishwashers and dryers send the hot and humid air into the room. Would be better to send the hot and wet air outside. Same with dryers for clothes: Would be better to have a hose to send it outside. Is this difficult? No!
German maker clothes dryer models (Miele or Bosch) have such hoses to send the hot humid air to the outside. And the dish-washer (same companies) has a condensation function, so that the water taken from the dishes is send where it belongs: into the kitchen sink.
I don't want to take away your beloved kitchen item. I just want to point out, that there exist even better models - but not made in Japan. One can get as import model.

Cleo, sometimes in summer, also outside it is hot and humid. Then opening a window will not help.

Actually, dishwasher or dish-dryer, both increase heat and humidity in the house. So when using this gimmick in summer, it is necessary to use the air conditioner more often to remove the humidity and the hot air created by this device. So, the efficiency goes down the drain.

Maybe she was talking about the weekend. 3 times on Saturday evening before sleeping, maybe it is already after midnight, and then another 2 times on Sunday morning. This would make sense.
