Yes. And I still did, right up until you posted that.

Ye gads. Geo-cities. Now those bizarre scaling methods actually make sense!

(I kid, I kid.)

Hahahaha. Good God. Yeah, it's super low. It's because Japanese Agriculture is in-effing-sane.

I have Long Term Residency in Japan; I also have two dogs. I did exponentially more paperwork to bring my American pups to Japan than I did to obtain a three year work visa. (Not that they don't have their reasons, but still.)

They can read some things. Japanese uses two phonetic alphabets as well as ideograms, so Chinese speakers can't understand verb/adjective conjugations, suffixes, particles or other parts of speech, but they can understand some nouns and so forth.

I dare you to try and win with random moves even on a 9 by 9 Go board and a four handicap. Even an uncertain 20k player will swamp your randomized moves every time. There are indeed many levels of mastery to Go, but the game has nothing to do with random moves. :)

I started sharing an email account with my step-father when I was six, and within three or four months I had my own account. My knowledge of computers was very basic, but I could clear the cache, cookies, browser history, install and uninstall programs, etc. I turned out okay. :) Relax, guys. I had no idea what the alt.sex people were talking about until I was ready to know what was going on. Porn was moderately alarming, but something I was going to be exposed to eventually no matter what. The Internet is a big wide place, but they'll find their peers--What are you afraid of? That they'll become enamored with a different distribution of Linux than you? :) You raised them well. Tell them not to give out personal, physical world information, and let them go.
