Japan Drivers LicensePretty much the same here in France, and on top of that your license can often be cancelled because of the 'points' system... Maybe next time I will go to Japan to get my license renewed, seems a lot easier, cheaper, and faster...
Japan Optic Fiber InternetI'm a bit surprised, I thought you already had fiber ... Actually if you want to host servers you'll almost certainly need better routers than those cheap ones on the pictures, cheap routers don't hadle QOS correctly (some don't even support QOS at a...
Sony Vaio P Boot Timeharddrives spin at constant speed, furthermore mainstream hardrives are not supposed to run 24/7, it is actually more dangerous to do so than booting up once a day or so...
Laptop VS DesktopI have both a desktop and laptop and even an old laptop turned into a very small desktop by removing the screen (Thinkpad R51 with broken screen, was just too good to throw away...) They both have pros and cons you can only choose one or the other de...
Japanese care about AnimeIt may be because it's edited by french speaking algerians as wel as french people of algerian origins who can have very different opinions about colonisation, war, etc... Also those old stats show only about 2K edits for the article about Algeria wh...
Japanese care about AnimeAt least on the English and the French wikipedia, those stats have not been updated since december 2006. (updates are disabled)
Electricity in JapanActually since 2004 EDF is a regular company (one can buy shares), government still has a majority of the shares though. Nuclear energy costed a hell of a lot of money to develop over time, so i'm not really sure whether the cost of electricity is lo...
Are Anime DVDs Worth ItThe important thing is the video format not the region of the disc, US (R1) and Japan (R2) both use NTSC video so no conversion is necessary for the video stream, it would be a waste of time and a useless extra cost so the quality is probably exactly...
Japan Net CafeIf it is a mirror then the whole reflection is wrong, the Tv shoul be on the left and monitor on the right, the keyboard and mouse should be inverted as well...
Your Precious BackupsActually that study showed that for their hdds that were 3 years old or older, the annualized failure rate of drives running above 45c was 3 times higher (15% !) than those running at 30c, so temps do not do "nothing"...
The problem is also that if...
Your Precious BackupsI use Speedfan to monitor all temps including HDDs, not sure if it works over USB though (I only use eSata) If you run your drives in fanless enclosures temperature monitoring is critical since drive temp can easily rise 25 celsius above ambient (som...
Shouting School GirlThere is still quite a difference between drinking a little alcohol and drinking a lot of it, so it's not like being pregnant... Drinking just a glass of wine will not really let you experience the effects of alcohol...
Japanese EconomyActually in France it's easy to find beer or even wine cheaper than gasoline (cheap beer is around 0.6 euro/litre gasoline is around 1.5 euro/litre...)
Recycling is RubbishI don't agree with him on the 'just burn the plastics' thing, most plastics are also made out of oil , and oil is not renewable, hence we have to recycle plastics too in the end... Also the 'high tech' burners he is talking about, that would not poll...
North America VS Japanese CartoonsUlysses 31 was a Franco-Japanese anime series, so at least count 1/2 pt for Japanese cartoons side if you enjoyed it ;-)
64K for 595 USDMy 1st one was a Siclair ZX81 (didn't have too much money to spend back then) then I had a much better Amstrad CPC-464, but the one I liked most I think was my Atari 520ST... I remember playing International Karate + on it too, if i remember well the...
Sick MurderReminds me the story of Issei Sagawa who shot his girlfriend, had sex with the dead corpse, then chopped her to parts and ate her ! (he only spent 15 months in mental institution and has been free ever since, some people say it was because his father...
MeganekoI don't think glasses look so good on younger looking girls like yukorin, I think they look better on more mature looking like gocchin or ami tokito...
Anime WallpaperFrom my point of view your site is very interesting but one of the slowest, I think you are trying to display to much information (and too much information kills information) for example quite often I like to browse the web on my TV which is 1360x768...
