    If two blocks from Ground Zero is too close, how far is enough?

    Stoning was a punishment in Judaism until around 30 A.D. However some countries still practice it under Islamic Law - despite not being in the Qur'an. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoning

    Back to the article, it's their law - however terrible the punishment is. Let's just hope that the trial was a real one and that the punishment changes.

    Try looking at it this way... 空手 literally means "empty hand." Kung-fu and a bunch of other martial arts are similar in the sense that they do not use weapons - empty hands. So in a certain point of view the movie is still passable as "Karate Kid." Although personally "Kung-Fu Kid" is more appropriate.

    Bad choices for clothes overwhelms the pretty faces. Potentially good picture gone to waste.

    In these cases, what does the SECOM "real time" surveillance does? Just saw a sticker in a nearby McDonald's.

    If the car knocked her down without running her over, it would have been moving rather fast and she should have either gone over the hood and hit the windshield (if she were tall) or flew a few feet forward after impact. Either way, she should have been at least dazed, if not unconscious. If what she said is accurate, she may have heard a man talking to her, which may or may not be the driver who may or may not have taken her bag. The driver possibly just escaped - which isn't uncommon. It's not far-fetched that someone from the meeting was involved in the "operation." Time to do your jobs, cops.

    I hope the girl is not too hurt and not involved.

    With regards to crime Japan is relatively safe. I'm not afraid to wear my Oakley sunglasses here unlike in my home country. Although the recent rise in knife attacks is getting a bit scary.

    Nice. Better than a lot of taxis idling while waiting for passengers. But I wonder how will the batteries perform when climate control is factored in?

    Isn't the counter between the clerk and the customer pretty wide? Unless the clerk was held captive there's a pretty big gap between them that will enable the clerks to escape. Maybe they need to train their staff to deal with these situations.

    Still pretty at 30 despite the outdated 3D glasses. Maybe I should start watching this.

    With regards to the convenience store shelf coffee, Mt. Rainier came before Starbucks, I believe.

    I don't watch South Park as I don't find it funny. Maybe I'm just one of those uptight people who have a complex sense of humor, but as I said in my comment in the previous article it's all about responsibility. Say something and it is bound to be disagreeable with someone. If you'll be afraid of anything that results with what you say, don't say it. Bleeping is a bit inelegant though.

    I wonder if the Muslim population get offended with parodies of Jesus... As far as I know Jesus is a figure in Islam as well.

    How can someone take a joyride on a motorcycle with no key in the ignition? Did he ride it down a hill?

    A little more info sharing might have prevented this. But as malware is improving its stealth methods I guess it was just a matter of time before this happened.

    Regarding non-Windows OS, if for instance less people use Windows and more people use Mac OS, Mac OS may have the malware directed at it. That may not be too far behind though.

    A quick Google can get more info on this. I wish they didn't just copy-paste the info from the website though. And the running time would have been useful. In any case, it is rated to run for 1.1 hours at full load using two canisters specified by Honda. I wonder if Daiso canisters will be excluded...

    If people would respect the sensitivities of others then this won't happen at all. Borrowing from the overused line, freedom is a great power, and with it great responsibility.

    Japanese airsoft can be modded into real guns without much trouble.

    Took the liberty of editing it.

    With regards to the statement, based on my knowledge of airsoft guns and limited theoretical knowledge of firearms, I must say it's false. Airsoft guns are made of either plastic or light metals like brass and aluminum which cannot withstand the forces acting inside a real gun by themselves. If you can actually make it shoot a bullet without blowing up on your face - which requires heavy modification to begin with, it will not be able to fire another round because there isn't any system in place that is remotely similar to the reloading system in semi-automatic firearms. Not to mention the compromised structural integrity. Reminds me of the Cassiopeia issue recently. If you said "airsoft guns can be modded to fire a bullet" I may be inclined to agree.

    Back on topic, even airsoft guns operating on the legal limit CAN wound. It may not penetrate your skin but it can draw blood. So the statement in the article is ambiguous at best with regards to the application of the law.

    But the worst is a law enforcer not knowing what the law is.

    Banned books?

    Thanks for a new to-read list. LOL. But I'll pass on "Twilight." Couldn't get past the first book. Too much teenage insecurity. Maybe a good read for aspiring shrinks?

    Kudos to the man who intervened. The quote from the stabber is scary though. Makes me think thrice of passing through the fields on my bike at night.
