\\*Of Depression, Pantsu, Racism, Spouses, Sony, Stupid Videos and REVIVAL VIVA LA VIDA!!!!!*//

Tch. Not very happy........uwahhh!!!!! *cries* oh, well. nevermind. let's go. news time.

The lascivious behaviour to be undertaken by Japan’s precocious schoolgirls takes the form of an inexplicable act of schoolgirl exposure, the girl in question apparently demanding $60 for a glimpse of her precious pantsu.

The incident reportedly took place in Wakayama prefecture as a middle-aged area resident was walking about town; he was approached by what appeared to be a middle or high schoolgirl. He was shocked to find that instead of striking up a conversation, the girl instead struck up skirt, laconically telling him “5,000 yen.”

All he could get out was “What are you doing?” before the girl had trotted back to her two waiting friends and left the scene. Whether a new marketing ploy for her pantsu, a random act of exhibitionism or a half-conceived act of extortion, nobody can say. ............

Racist Japanese have bullied a Chinese Vocaloid fan into deleting his Hatsune Miku MAD, all because he had the temerity to have the virtual idol sing in Chinese.

The song in question, 月・西江, was shaping up to be quite popular prior to being deleted. After uploading to NicoNico Douga, he was subjected to the usual deluge of racist comments which await anything China or Korea related coming to the attention of 2ch or Nico.
The storm of negative comments soon discouraged the uploader, a 20-year-old student from China’s southern province of Guangxi, and he felt he had no option but to remove the video, saying in Japanese: “Thank you all for your support. But rather than preventing everyone from getting along thanks to this video, it is perhaps better I delete it.”

Of course, many Japanese were disgusted by the antics of the hyper-xenophobic fringe which constitutes much of the userbase of 2ch and NicoNico Douga – unfortunately their words of encouragement came too late

A survey of Japanese men and women reveals just what qualities it is they seek from a prospective husband or wife; the results may very well not be surprising…
For women:
1. Stable work
2. Kindness
3. Desires children
4. Health
5. Compatibility with your parents
6. Good at housework
7. Saves money
8. Is serious
9. Independent from his parents and family
10. Possesses fortitude
The survey’s wording is too polite to say “he has lots of money” (although other surveys are not so circumspect), so it is reasonable to equate this to the “stable job” requirement.
For men:
1. Kindness
2. Good at housework
3. Desires children
4. Understanding about your work
5. Understanding about your hobbies
6. Healthy
7. Compatibility with your parents
8. Calm
9. Possesses fortitude
10. Doesn’t interfere all the time
Leaving aside the desire for a reasonable personality shared by both sexes, quite a gulf between the expectations of the sexes is evident, with women rather concerned with what their partner will do for them in material terms, and men apparently more concerned with what they can avoid having done to them by their partner.

The US Air Force is less than pleased with Sony for removing the PS3’s Linux support, although unlike most Sony critics it does actually use the OtherOS feature, in a supercomputing cluster of PS3s which it complains is now doomed by a lack of replacement units. The US Air Force Research Laboratory built a 53 teraflop cluster of 336 PS3s in 2009 by way of a test, and then added a further 1,700 PS3s in early 2010 after being satisfied with the results. It claims the PS3 cluster solution is much cheaper than the conventional alternatives. The Air Force Research Laboratory now publicly laments the decision by Sony to remove Linux support, as although it does not connect to the PlayStation Network or use games, it does make it impossible to replace broken units: “This will make it difficult to replace systems that break or fail. The refurbished PS3s also have the problem that when they come back from Sony, they have the firmware (gameOS) and it will not allow Other OS, which seems wrong. We are aware of class-action lawsuits against Sony for taking away this option on systems that used to have it.” Sony’s supposed advertising of such alternative usages of the PS3 has been mentioned in the lawsuit, so the Air Force may yet find itself drawn into the fray. Sony for its part is probably happy to be rid of its research customers – console hardware is usually sold at a loss, with profits coming from software sales, so from Sony’s perspective cluster users are little better than parasites taking advantage of its subsidised Cell processors. The PR benefits of such usage may well be vastly outweighed by the cost of such subsidies. Equally, cheapskate research institutes cobbling together supercomputers from subsidised home consoles are hardly in a position to complain – on the contrary, the Air Force appears happy to suck up the loss and has no intention of stopping with the PS3: “The gaming and graphics market continues to push the state of the art and lowers the cost of High Performance Computing, FLOPS/WATTS per dollar. This is important for embedded HPC, our area of expertise. The HPC environment is rapidly changing; leveraging technology that is subsidized by large consumer markets will always have large cost advantages. This gives us the experience (lesson learned) to develop HPC with low-cost hardware, benefitting the tax payer, Air Force, Air Force Research Lab while utilizing limited DoD budgets.”
