not really virus but trojans. Got my USB infected after downloading some files from an acquaintance computer. Luckily I have an antivirus which detected the trojan immediately and cleaned the USB before it can do any damage. BTW, this trojan infects all peripherals and even flash drives are being infected…

in Japan, certificates are very important. Even if you are qualified, native speaker level but without certification, you can't get a good job and a high salary.

perfect system? barely. The truth is that the hospitals are in deep trouble because of accepting these foreign workers. The hospital has to pay for their apartment, their education, living expenses, plus they have to pay somebody to translate all files, medicines, patient chart and everything into English.

the Japanese gov't hospitals can't have as much full-time doctors as they wanted because nobody wants to apply for the position of being underpaid and overworked physicians. The salary limit of less than 300,000Y per month for most doctors in Tokyo is ridiculous and its even lower in other prefectures.…

vista is actually cool, I used to hate it but once you get past the learning curve its actually better than xp except for the need for quite steep hardware requirements. A new OS? hmm actually, its just a repackaged vista less the annoying properties...can't wait for it.
