"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me, and you can't get fooled again." Bonus points for the speaker of those infamous words.

Foot patrol cops please! Its a very small section of the city where this is a problem, and getting the cops out of the koban would do the trick. A sign isn't going to do it.

I think it is highly likely that NK picks a small naval battle with some country in the region. They won't shoot off a nuke, but they certainly won't hesitate to get into a conventional skirmish. And that could be costly to all involved.

actually, I think its a great article. It points out a different approach to what "gogogo" is mentioning. Some companies are actively encouraging the bicycle commuting, and articles like these will raise awareness amoung other people which will help put pressure on companies who are not being reasonable. Why would we want reporting that just falls in line with norms?

I think its great that people who shouldn't have kids, dress up dogs instead. What a wonderful outlet! If only the rest of the world could encourage the same...think of the improvement in children's lives.

Reminds me of the other day when I saw a guy walking around near the local station, with his pants undone and his equipment in hand, and a big smile on his face. No one bothered to arrest him. What would the point have been? He was just doing his bit to add some color to an otherwise bleak landscape. :)

There is no law stopping me from walking around on the street and taking photos. So what's the problem? Maybe some people don't like having their photo taken, but it still isn't illegal. Maybe this is simply a PR move by Google.

Trying to find a way to commute without going by train. Maybe I'll have the added benefit of getting more fit at the same time.

Seems to me that the koseki documentation system, for Japanese nationals, is even more painful to participate in than this gaigin card proposal.
I vigorously protect my personal information and privacy. However, I just don't see this ID card as being an invasion, as it has been proposed so far.
Anyone ever notice that the re-entry visa line at the immigration check in Narita is the fastest line? :) Its an advantage! :)

"My laptop is 2 yrs old, but it's way more powerful than the specs described (dual core 2.0GHz ~= 4.0GHz?, 2GB RAM, etc.)"
Was your laptop under 80,000 yen, and under 1kg? This little laptop is intended to be light, cheap, and functional. Quoting XX GHz doesn't mean much anymore.
I'm not promoting buying the thing...just pointing out that its got a different marketing strategy.

I find it very odd that Aso is ruling the country without any mandate what-so-ever. He wasn't elected to the post by the people. He wasn't even elected by his own party...he was simply the last man standing.
I'd like to see the Japanese public wake up and pay attention to their political system, and stop the oligarchy. Don't just replace Aso with another LDP elder. Replace the LDP entirely.
