BurakuminDes - true that. I see another good Origin series win by the Maroons a week or 2 ago. NSW might beat them in a few years time but at the moment they are probably just lacking in a little Origin experience.

He got hit by a liner? I was praying for it to be an ocean liner while swimming or something. Would have made for a much better story.

Of course. Every operating system includes patches to remove bugs and security vulnerabilities that are found after its release. That's the reason updates machines are more secure. Problem is a lot of people don't see anyone but Microsoft patching their systems.

Good for them. Was reading one report from the BBC website last week about an expected surge in Mac viruses in 2010 as the systems slowly become more popular.
More people using the computer means more people looking for exploits. Use Workbench 1.3 and you'll probably not get infected either.

He's irritated, so that's a completely acceptable form of behaviour then. Just as long as he says sorry and bows for a few cameras, I'm sure all will be forgiven and he can go back to hitting his kid.

What is the obsession with putting "team" before team names? People know they are a team by the sheer nature that we are talking about sport. Are we going to start talking about Team Manchester United take on Team Birmingham City next season?

The story says he was quoted as saying this, but then never quotes him saying he's assaulted over 100 young girls. Not saying he hasn't, but might be worth checking out what exactly has or hasn't been said as we know how Kyodo News/JT can get a little ahead of the game sometimes with their stories.

So as long as you're having fun, say you won't do it again, and are (a possibly cute, young) female, you can get away with robbery? Nice one!

No surprises though as it's been done before. Hire people to queue outside your store for an opening/new product. Local media come down and lap it all up, forgetting about the previous times when people were hired and believing it's all genuine. People who see it on TV and in newspapers do the same, and everyone believes the little lie so as not to rock the boat.

In karate anyone can potentially beat anyone. Cricket, darts, cominoes too...
