Read the article. It says the Aborigine population is down from 1 million. 22 million is the current population of Australia.

So an extra 60,000 yen for a US keyboard and an upgrade to Windows Ultimate? I'll have to pass on this deal.

Doesn't Walmart own Seiyu? When are they going to bring authentic Japanese food to Japan? I want some General Tso's Chicken.

Suraj came to Japan on a temporary visa, which expired in 15 days, in May 1988, according to Yoshida. He was arrested on suspicion of staying illegally in September 2006, and received a deportation order in November that year. The same month, his wife registered their marriage.

Yes, he came here in 1988 on a 15 day temporary visa and overstayed that visa. He got married the same month he received his initial deportation orders.
Sure, we can do that but this guy was an overstayer. He should have gotten married earlier to build a stronger case for himself if he did get caught. Apparently they were together for over 10 years. It could have helped his case if he could prove they were together that long, you know, with a marriage certificate.
They did look at the big picture. He has no kids. His wife wasn't financially dependent on him. He was residing and working illegally. His wife is too old to have children. He could have waited out his ban from Japan in Ghana and then applied for a spouse visa and legally moved to Japan. A fair punishment for his crime.
Did you bother to read BlueWitch's links? They didn't stuff the towel down his throat. They used it like a gag, with a knot behind his head. Could that have caused his death? Sure, but two autopsies failed to reveal that.

As usual, many details are missing from this article. This man was an overstayer for 22 years and he only got married after getting arrested as a last ditch effort to stay in Japan. The SRP guidelines says you can't get a visa if you got married just to avoid deportation, which is exactly what this guy did.
This was the immigration officials' second attempt to deport this man after his arrest; the first one failed because Mr. Suraj aggressively resisted. Extra restraints and the towel in the mouth were justified, imo.
If this man died of a beat-down, as his wife suggests, then there should be criminal charges brought against the officials. But there needs to be some sort of evidence. The autopsy was inconclusive. Has any of the ten officers confessed to the beat-down? How about the flight crew? I'm sure at least one of them would've seen a beat down if it happened.

How do Mac users download files from their web mail?
On my computer, I click on a link and a dialog box pops up and I click OK. I have it set up so that some files, like pdf's, will download automatically without clicking OK.
I'm just wondering what some of the differences are with Macs. Any specific examples? I never used any Apple products before.

I don't think that's the reason they took it out. I think they're trying to prevent people from selling the cheap cameras sold in Japan overseas. I don't like their decision but I still got Nikon, Canon, Pentax. Casio, Fuji, and Ricoh to choose from. I'll give my money to them.

It's because the name on the passport is not the official Japanese name. Your child's official Japanese name still only contains two names.

While I agree that married couples should be able to have two different surnames, I don't think they should allow middle names. Two names is enough.

Panasonic banned non-Japanese menus in 2010. If your model is pre-2010 then you might have English menus.

He's Korean-Japanese (ethnicity and nationality) and he's 100% Japanese (this is unrelated to ethnicity or nationality). Anybody raised in Japan is Japanese. Anybody not raised in Japan is not Japanese.

The Koreans are ridiculous. This guy is a 3rd generation Korean-Japanese. He's 100% Japanese. It doesn't matter what his nationality was/is, he was born and raised in Japan, he's Japanese.

If she wants to live in America she should be given that opportunity but I don't think she'll stay there very long. She's a young, single mother with no job or language skills. She'll be living with her in-laws in a small southern town. She'll go back to Okinawa within 18 months.

I guess I'm the only who likes the instant search. It's faster and less clicking. All the other search engines will be copying it soon enough.
