  1. I am not saying I am an expert, but as one that has been living in Japan and working in a Japanese company for about seven years now, I think perhaps you should rethink your understanding of the Japanese. In my opinion, the Japanese have a greater sense of honor than westerners. A part of that honor is taking responsibility for misdeeds. Sometimes taking responsibility can be construed as ending one's life to atone. I see it in the news all the time. High ranking government and company officials often resign to atone for scandals or mishaps within their organizations, even if they themselves had nothing personally to do with it. Whereas Americans in similar predicaments generally look for others to blame or ways to sidestep responsibility. Perhaps this is in part due to the propensity of Americans to sue everyone for anything. Lawsuits are far more rare in Japan. I can only speculate that this is because when things go wrong, companies often step up, take the blame and try to compensate people. They take a proactive approach to dealing with "uh-ohs" rather than a defensive, reactive approach. Thus, negating the need to litigate. So I believe its honor not shame. To be a hibakusha is just a classification for government benefits. As they article states, he gets nothing extra for being certified as a double survivor. Just the footnote in history as the one and only double survivor.
  2. LOL ! ( alternate step 1 is look for movie of same name and hope its basically the same as the book) [got me through high school]
  3. duct tape a fish or hamburger meat or whatever to the bottom of the desktop, behind the drawer. By the time it starts stinking, you will be long gone. Also, most offices have those tiled ceilings, slide a tile up, and put another one up there, in an airduct is better, but, your call.
  4. I know you said props, but are you sure?? An-225
  5. I would welcome someone to play Space Empires V with. google it, its an awesome 4x game, if thats your cup of tea.
  6. in a blank part of desktop right click and go to properties and there is a way to make all the icons and stuff larger. try that in combination with a higher resolution and the net effect is the icons stay the same size.
  7. I have an 8500 and had the same thing happen when I updated drivers. I rolled back to my old driver and it was perfect again.
  8. I use pest patrol myself. I have been quite happy with it. pestpatrol.com give it a shot. (no, I dont work for them or anything like that)
  9. yeah, this game is soooooo unplayable in its current 1.01 state that I don't have any fun at all playing it every single day. some of you guys need to lighten up and enjoy the wonderful game you have. It will get another patch sometime in the future, then it will be even better. Until then, enjoy the game and stop complaining. sheesh
  10. hi all, I had trouble with my PC and lost all data. so, I looked for a flag mod, but couldn't find the one I had before ( or any one ). Anybody able to send the swastika battle flag mod to me?? Please. Thanks.
  11. warmer weather now??? overheating?? CM taxes the processor hard I believe.
  12. same thing happened to me. I deleted/uninstalled the Rage 3D tweak program and reinstalled it and everything was ok. I recall somehow I had changed something by accident and couldn't change it back, but it is all ok now.
  13. They're prisoners, not day-trippers out for a bus tour of the war! </font>
  14. why cant you load a POW into a halftrack? I tried and couldn't.
  15. I have Win2K, but I have Never used sleep. Just turn off HDD after x minutes of inactivity.
  16. I see you are in Israel. I am in Japan, and if I bump the key that changes the input method from the Roman alphabet to the Japanese kana input then none of the keyboard hotkeys work. I dont have the English 101/102 keyboard that is standard issue in the US. I have a 106/109 key keyboard for Japanese. If there is a toggle key for input methods try it. I hope this helps you, good luck. JP Jones
