630,000 LED's only consume about 60,500w or 60.5kw, so using .20 yen/kWh it would be 12.1 yen/hour, and if they are on for 12hrs a day, it would be roughly 144 yen/day, so for the month of December, it should be about 4,320 yen to run those lights. (if my sources and math were correct, probably not now that I think about it, lol)

Yep, they are very aware of the results which is part of the reason they stay there without any major changes. Many here don't realize that the Japanese Gov. pays huge amounts of money extra per year to the Okinawa prefecture because of the "burder of hosting the majority of US Force in Japan". That money goes into the prefecture budget for whatever they need, like infrastructure, schools, facilities, quality of life, etc. With that incentive, many Okinawa Governors aren't so quick to fight against mass base closures even if they get elected on the "anti-base" campaign stance.

It's almost 2010, this is still an issue? Religion/religous background still seems to be the biggest factor. If you are against it because of your religous background or beliefs, then fine, but leave everyone else alone, it's their decision for them, not your imposed ideals for everyone.

COD MW2 sold $550 million in the first 5 days. 4.7 mil. copies sold in first 24 hours in the US. Last I saw were estimates of 10 mil. copies sold in the first week. They have easily sold far more than that since it's release 3 weeks ago.

I realize the difference, but it's still just not anywhere near the same level in popularity. I know there is a niche for these classics but it's just that, a small "cult" following.
Counter Strike(PC) remains one of the most popular FPS games to date. Don't forget about the HALO world too.

hmm.. $50 for the "newest" Mario Bros. or $50 for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2....... really tough choice there. They don't even remotely compare. Mario Bro's to CoD MW2 is like 70's era moped to F22 Stealth Fighter.

Mexicanish at 02:26 PM JST - 24th November Why can't they sell coffee with just milk and no sugar?
They do, right next to this coffee.
So what? I make enough so that I CAN toss away chump change for this kind of luxury and enjoy it. I also couldn't care less about some peasant "shoeless children" supposedly making coffee. It tastes good, I enjoy it, and I will keep on buying it whatever the flavor of the moment is.
