Biggest Investment Ever
2006.01.30 7:09

If I bought gold or silver, the value of these metal would never change as time passes, therefore it's precious. Knowledge is, on the other hands, once acquired, these turn to wisdom after some time.
My largest investment went into acquiring knowledge from a book in my early twenties. I invested millions of time doing so, now it's time I got reward from them. I'm sure I will.
Personally speaking, I like silver though. I like the touch of it and its eternity. When I was reading Bible, I often encountered the description of silver, I used to watch my marriage ring again and again then imagined if part of my ring come from the same silver in biblical times.

In Search Of New Energy

I think there's a very different history, background behind what power plant we favour in Japan or Europe and USA. As was the same in the situations of other countries, Japanese government twenty years ago were very enthusiatic about building new nuclear power plants one after another. As a result of this policy, many new plants were built and planned. You see Japan is very populated in this tiny island, people were afraid of nuclear disaster as Chernobyl, and Three Miles Island. As we anticipated, a number of incidents occurred, fortunately none of them was as serious as Chernobyl, but some workers died and nuclear agency had to spend millions of tax to compensate them and clean the nuclear contamination as well.
Now governemnt as well as people are just fed up with building new facilities. That doesn't pay. Many new plans have been abandoned so far for these fifteen years.
Nuclear power was based on a revolutionary idea but nuclear power plant was based on an obsolete idea. The true nuclear power can be generated in a small chamber, not a factory. The key is 'E=MC2', one of good examples of utilising new energy is the recent development of fusion battery. We have to concentrate our wisdom on the issue.

Unmanned Weaponry
2006.01.29 8:05

This news reminds me the deployment of unmanned battle vehicle [ubergizmo.com] in Iraq one year ago. It was experimental, so the number of the machines were few.

Ordinary World

Ordinary world -this is where we live. For those who are extremely talented, it is very easy to be famous for something favourable. So naturally they started thinking of how not to be famous since it is the one that requires them to make an effort. On the other hands, some people who are less talented still feel it's paramount for them to be notorious -don't know how to achieve something meaningful, instead they think if they commit some wrondoing upon others who are famous, that makes him automatically notorious. That's the very reason why already famous people are so eager not to be in public.

Written Code & Custom Code

As to the forged document problem, has it something to do with 'the matter of deregulation'? - von_yosukeyan

Of course, not. You raised your question very appropriately.

This is not what administrative regulations being abolished or deregulated, but say ' being liberated to public sectors.'

Completely correct.

There's "no regulations to deregulate" in Japan's overall judicial system

But there are many regulations to deregulate in Japan's custom codes accumulated from empirical rules made by administrative body. So the most urgent task for us is to arrange the written law in brief.

I want to evaluate this decision as a means to govern the market. -von_yosukeyan

Very insightful, but as you let us know this decision was nothing but a mockery of fair trade. Market has to give all dealers a fair oppotunity to buy and sell their shares. Again as you suggested, we ought to expect version-up of TSE, though, I am very dubious about the future capability of the market.

Our Task

RE: Morality Of War By mercedo at 6:05 PM, January 26th, 2006 (Thursday), Comment #546
My conclusion as to the morality of war right now is that there's no morality in war. Once war started, all means would be justifiable to achieve the ends, that means the use of unmanned weaponry like this meets its demands completely. In war time the nature of morality changes. It will come to totally opposit to that of in the peace time.

War is nothing but a tragedy, we ought to make an greatest possible effort to avoid war. That's our task left for us who live in peace. ---Ancient Greek Philosophers - 18c Enlightenment Thinkers - Starport Users[Add Comment]

When Era of Tsin Dynasty, scholars from Europe demonstrated that the very complicated Chinese writing system (about 5000 ideograms) can be transliterated in the combination of only 26 characters. Chinese ruler at that time was just amazed to see them.
Technically speaking, transliteration from very complicated ideograms into simplified phonetic characters is possible, but because of the habit, custom, bad? tradition, we are still using that very clumsy writing system.
Again technically, English writing system can be transfigured into the combination of 0 and 1 as in computer. Morse signal is also based on this idea.
As to the logics of language, both English and Chinese are very logical language. That's why both find so many users.

Under the current system in the Internet, if you have $10, you can buy up to $100 worthy of shares. If the stock you bought rose up to $2000, that is 20 times as much as you invested, you can get $2000. As opposed to this success example, if you lost $100, you would end up owing $100 in debt.
He succeeded this money game. He came to be very rich through making the most of this strange system. This speculative game might have produced millions of fortunes, only in figure. Still many business people believe figure is everything. Probably figure (flow economy) reflects part of the truth but not all. What percent? Depending on who you are.
After Mr Horie was arrested, the share of his company is skydiving. He's never returned any part of his huge profit to his 20,000 shareholders, mostly individual ones who dreamed a high return. The heart of the investers were broken twice.

Morality Of War

War means killing each other. There must be no morality in it. But in fact there is a morality of war. First thing. War has to be a last resort. War has to be started after all possible peaceful means turned to be useless. So first, diplomacy, then eventually after ultimatum was not accepted, only war starts.

War has to be held between militaries. No civilians ought to be hurt from the battle, however, it is just an ideal of war act. How about using unmanned battle vehicles like this or using a radicon helicopter like this. Yesterday motor and piano company Yamaha was raided from police whether their shipment of this product to China is violating a law to prohibit exporting weaponry.

If the aim of war is to minimise the damage of our side and maximise the damage of their side, unmanned weaponry meets these demands, but they are against the morality of war. Here's the related article from BBC.

I agree any language is based on some grammatical order. Of course there's a grammer. I am saying English and Chinses are much more based upon gramatically logical order than Japanese. For example, in English you say 'This is not a pen'. Probably the most logical order must be 'This not is a pen.', since 'is' has to be negated beforehand.
In Japanese we say 'This a pen is not.' This verbal expression is against our logical order of conception. 'A', 'pen', 'is' have to be negated beforehand. Gramatically speaking many order of words are possible, but logics is based on a natural sequence of order of things or objects, incidents. So I said ther's no room for anyone to raise doubt in them.
English is easy to learn for non-native speakers like me because it is more simple and fundamental than other languages like Japanese, German, French, etc. Latin languages leave many paradigm changes in which English has already lost most of all. Thus I said English is no more reflexive (I mean inflexive), English is more analytical means there's no distinguished paradigm change in it, which is very similar to analytical language like Chinese. For non-native speakers the distinction of is/am/are/ doesn't matter, I be/You be/ He be/ all are fine.

A Shape Of Heart

A Shape Of Heart
2006.01.21 6:09

While I was cooking a fish, I noticed that the shape of heart in fish is so similar to that of pyramid. Was pyramid built resembled to the heart of fish or other animals? If so, there the wish to immortality was put in it.

Tutu

Tutu refers to a very short skirt ballerina wear but also means the way she dance with two toes and walks in a very short step. As a matter of fact, what muscle she uses most is her sphincter -muscles around her bottom.

Ballerina is not only girls, there are many boys as well. But some are not exactly boys but effeminate man -some might use the term fag/faggot for them, but others might think them offensive.

When I was teaching English more than ten years ago, I made friends with other English teachers. One of them was a man in gender, but his sexual preference is toward the same sex. He's a fag as such, he himself claimed that he is a fag so I use this term here. He revealed that his pleasure spot is not in his genital organ, but around his sphincter. So he played a role of female when he has relation with a man.

Freud wrote in his book 'Three Vicissitudes of Sexually Pleasurable Spots' or something that there are three stages of vicissitudes. The first stage is mouth period, which had been largely performed by babies. The second was anal period. This was through defecation, kids older than babies sure to have their pleasuse. But these two periods are relatively short and soon the sexually pleasurable spot of almost all people would go into genital organs.

Probably fag people were unable to transmit his period successfully and stayed in the stage of anal period.

In fact, his favorite dance in a disco was 'tutu'. Apparently he looked like a old man -he was 7 years older than me, but dancing tutu, people around him laughed at him.

Probably he was just pursuing what he feels good. It was his fate to do so.

Apart from the superficial resemblance in lots of loan words from China, Korean and Japanese languages are different in their basic terms, but happened to be similar in syntax -how to order the words, both languages would be agglutinative, not reflexive. They both use post position instead of preposition, so when it comes to superficial syntax, the similarlity of two languages are apparent.
But that similarlity doesn't tell at all that two languages have one common parent language long long ago.
As to the superficial similarity in syntax, English and Chinese are astonishingly similar. But nobody claims that two languages are derived from one common parent language. Two languages -English &Chinese happened to acquire similar syntax because their syntax is based on more logical order than others. The more the number of the speaker of the languages increase, the more they are likely to acquire more logical syntax. Logic is based on mathematics, inclusion within a concept, exclusion from the concept are strictly followed by mathematical order, there's no room for others to raise doubt in them.
Latin is more inflective than English, English is more like Chinese analytic, yet Latin and English have two common parent language. Despite many similarities, Korean and Japanese are two different, isolated languages as Basque or Ainu, proposed Altaic language family is illusory.

Actually what's really toxic is the partial pressure of O2. This is the reason why divers can't dive below 85 feet (If I recall correctly) on Nitrox II. It's also the reason why pilots need pressure suits and full face masks even if they're breathing pure oxygen above Flight Level 350 or so. If you can't get the ambient air to a pressure of at least 20 percent of an atmosphere, then you'll slowly go hypoxic as your body attempts to breath in sufficient oxygen.

Mike, go home. Mike goes home. Since there are two meanings here, we need to define verbs, one is for order, and the other is for ordinary.
But how about these, -He goes home, since 'he' is used as the third person, we don't have to use -es to define as ordinary sentence. He go home/He goes home both means the same.
We use "isn't/ aren't/ don't/ doesn't/ hasn't/ haven't" according to the subject we used, but "ain't" can replace all these negations, is "ain't" enough to use instead? If you think "ain't" is a bad word, just 'not' will be replaced for this.
You see the most logical word order might be like 'He not go to the zoo.', the negation word 'not' has to be placed before verb so like 'I not have written journals for two days since I was busy.'

Single Dominant vs Diversified Scarce
2006.01.20 9:45
Remember the role of bacteria is different from that of plants and animals. Main role of bacteria is to decompose corpse of those lives, so in order to decompose as quickly as possible, they don't need to diversify the kinds of their species, but they need a semi-single large quantity of bacteria. So in an area like the Amazon, single dominant species tend to flourish.
In an area like desert, the plants and animals are so adjusting to particular environment specifically, and their corpses are so hard to be decomposed under such severe circumstances. The kinds of bacteria tend to diversify according to the particular body they work, but the number of bacteria remains to be tremendously lower.
Rememer they are talking about the number of the kinds, not the entire quantity. Obviously the number of bacteria is by far exceeding in the Amazon than in desert. Whether it's relevant to talking about pH is questionable. I'm afraid that's a result, not a cause.

Cancer Is A Natural Result
2006.01.19 10:16

Cancer is formed from the consistent accumulation of carcinogen in parts of their body. Any carcinogen is so toxic to humans, unless it is formed later as cancer, it might directly cause their immediate death. Instead of their instant death, they will be formed to cancer and kill them whichever.
Cancer is a natural result of maximum resistance of their body to accumulate and concentrate venoms in parts of their body.

Human Map
2006.01.19 9:15
We thought about the cases of fauna of plants, animals and bacteria in both the Amazon and deserts. We can assume similar conclusion on human fauna here.
Chinese, Americans are semi-single dominant language group or people in the world, occupying large plain in the continent, which is suitable for living by a large number of people.
Geographically complex areas like Caucasus, Balkan, Central Asia and a rim of Russia are occupied by many peoples with small population each.
In talking about language group, the distinction is more apparent. Indo-European and Chinese are two major language groups with huge population, there are so many other languages with as many peoples.

Cancer Is A Natural Result

Cancer Is A Natural Result
2006.01.19 10:16

Cancer is formed from the consistent accumulation of carcinogen in parts of their body. Any carcinogen is so toxic to humans, unless it is formed later as cancer, it might directly cause their immediate death. Instead of their instant death, they will be formed to cancer and kill them whichever.
Cancer is a natural result of maximum resistance of their body to accumulate and concentrate venoms in parts of their body.

We thought about the cases of fauna of plants, animals and bacteria in both the Amazon and deserts. We can assume similar conclusion on human fauna here.
Chinese, Americans are semi-single dominant language group or people in the world, occupying large plain in the continent, which is suitable for living by a large number of people.
Geographically complex areas like Caucasus, Balkan, Central Asia and a rim of Russia are occupied by many peoples with small population each.
In talking about language group, the distinction is more apparent. Indo-European and Chinese are two major language groups with huge population, there are so many other languages with as many peoples.

Remember the role of bacteria is different from that of plants and animals. Main role of bacteria is to decompose corpse of those lives, so in order to decompose as quickly as possible, they don't need to diversify the kinds of their species, but they need a semi-single large quantity of bacteria. So in an area like the Amazon, single dominant species tend to flourish.
In an area like desert, the plants and animals are so adjusting to particular environment specifically, and their corpses are so hard to be decomposed under such severe circumstances. The kinds of bacteria tend to diversify according to the particular body they work, but the number of bacteria remains to be tremendously lower.
Rememer they are talking about the number of the kinds, not the entire quantity. Obviously the number of bacteria is by far exceeding in the Amazon than in desert. Whether it's relevant to talking about pH is questionable. I'm afraid that's a result, not a cause.--

Money can only fulfill our short-term demand. If we were in desert, we would spend a lot of money to acquire a drop of water. But if we had a lot of rain, we would spend a lot of money just for a ray of sunshine. Water, sunshine cannot value their importance of their own. Only money can tell their relative value under particular circumstances.
I just wonder how we spend money just for fulfilling our short-time demand. Before we eat dinner, we spend some money for it, but after we ate it, we wouldn't spend the same money for it.
Also the value of same amount of money differs between haves and have-nots. In one dollar, some can buy only one beer, while others can buy ten beers, depending on where-which country you live.
In general, money means nothing, let alone it's nothing to with truth, justice, freedom.

Nihilism Of Europe
2006.01.13 8:49

'Those who rule Europe will rule the world. It is undoubted, but I don't think Hitler is trying to do so. ' -Stalin
As a matter of fact, two world wars were fought along with the border of Europe, at that time everybody had admitted that Europe was the centre of the world. But after the World War II, the Cold War, USA emerged as the No.1 country in the world. Now USA is the only Super Power. It is not a matter of hegemony, though, as long as USA keeps on exporting freedom and democracy, the liberation of knowledge will continue to be spread every nook and cranny. People in other region will try to develop another search engine inevitably.
Hitler was trying to prevail nihilism in Europe. The attempt was completely failed, though, the tradition of nihilism still remains strongly everywhere in Europe, they will show another alternative especially when they overcome its nihilism in the near future.
USA is superior to any other country in many respects, but not everything, USA is not the same as the world, and vice versa. There are many countries and regions other than USA. We ourselves have to form common knowledge not just from USA, EU, or any other region. The world doesn't need a centre of something. The world ought to be from unilateral image to multilateral one.

This material helps make us all minus-ionised (a little bit mystic though). Russian scholar Dr Kieton, professor at the University of St. Petersburg named it.

Serious Crime, No Punishment
2006.01.08 22:50

We've got tens of serious crimes out there and it was strange to find that the serious crime pays and less serious crime doesn't pay.

If criminals had a piece of conscience, he would be likely to be caught much more than the cases determined criminals who committed serious crimes with no feeling of regret, remorse, mercy. As a matter of fact, criminals who were caught were much more the ones those who committed it accidentally, with no particular intentions to do it, without convictions to do it, etc. By and large the criminals who were caught are the ones thought to be the offenders of less serious crimes.

The crimals who had a slightest of conscience are likely to be caught and punishable by very strict crimal codes as opposed to the criminals who didn't have the slightest of conscience, who had a full of malicious intent. As long as they are at large, they might be laughing behind the scenes or are they suffering from the pain of conscience for good?

Recently I've got curious about such eruptions. Whatever the direct cause might be, natural gases like methane ought not to erupt in the coal mine shaft. I wonder whether the incident might have something to do with activities inside the Earth.

If there is enough methane in the shaft, a simple spark is enough to set it off. Generating sparks in a mine shaft doesn't require much effort. If I had to guess, I would say it was likely a gas pocket that was ignited.

2006.01.04 3:21

By the end of the last year, I had lost all two loves. One was Japanese in August, the other was a foreigner in December. At the beginning of new year 2006, I managed to find a new girlfriend, which itself was a lucky thing.
The woman was once failed to pass my test, and I had alrady forgotten when I got a phone call from her twice 17:10 & 17:30 in my cellular. She left no message.
I called her back soon and it seemed she was asking for my help urgently.
Since I didn't hold any party with anyone in Christmas Eve, I wanted to spend my private time with some woman. She just came in on the nick of time in a vacant room of my mind.
We had dinner at 8 and later, we stayed in a hotel. In a lecture before we order wine, I taught her generally French wine is the best. She accepted. Evaluation +1. And she had recognised the importance of English as a way to communicate with people overseas, as a matter of fact she gave up learning French any more through seeing with Dutch guy for six months last year. He didn't speak French. They had already separated in last October. Evaluation +1. In a room we stayed she smoked three times in our bed room. Evaluation -3. After I complained about her smoking in my presence strongly, she promised not to smoke. She was smoking in a rest room three times. Evaluation +3. Then the last test took place on the bed. Evaluation +2. Full score in a bed is 5 so I need to examine in other points her again. My test on her is pending. I asked her to love me one time out of ten times I love her. She said yes. She passed my examination.

New Year Wreath

New Year Wreath
2006.01.02 5:56

This is literally 'Rope For Killing Animals'. In Japanese it's - See this article.
We had been decorating with this 'rope for killing animals' in front of the door of our house from the first to fifteenth of January every year traditionally. This is similar to Christmas wreath in shape. We used to decorate it in front of every car, now it disappeared completely. I noticed this year about a half households already ceased to do it in their house this season of the year. Amazing. I hope this society is not only changing its shape superficially but substansially. This is a good example how our society is changing.

that you want to hold onto such a tradition but would rather be speaking english ;)but yes japan has been changing a lot, it's due largely to western influence... cultural exchange leads to movements for people to change to do what they feel is most acceptable for them...can you imagine children and women taking up knives to fight invading soldiers in modern day japan? it was not long ago that that type of self sacrafice and pride in your nationality existed... change is happening faster and faster... and frankly it's not jsut the japanese culture that is changing either, american culture is shifting, european culture is changing, even the chinese culture with over 5,000 years of history is changing rapidly.where it will all lead is of course up to people to decide, and right now the most popular thing is to just let everyone create their own values and thoughts and beliefs... everyone 'says' that is good, and if people can 'choose' they can still 'choose' some prepackaged belief structure from someone... but i wonder if maybe some people aren't spending too much productive time considering their own beleif structure because of the 'vaccume' of 'make your own decisions' line of thought...

More than 2000 years ago, we didn't have characters to literate our national language, and later when Chinese characters were introduced people started adopting them to transliterate our language. The atttempt never succeeded, and later it was succeeded partialy when we invented two phonetic characters.
Roman alphabet was introduced 16 century. I must say still it is very difficult to transliterate our language all in Roman alphabet, but definitely a lot of adaptations of phonetic words from English has been in progress.
I must say it will take another 30 years to replace majority of vocaburary in our language into English words, and by then public language in Japan is likely to be English.

Hi Mercedo! I'm well thanks. I have been meaning to mail you. My situation has changed since we last met, and I really can't continue to meet you like we did before. I would like to remain friends if you want, but that's all I can offer you. I hope things work out well for you. Have a lovely New Year, and take care.

Gone with the wind. But before she has gone, my soul was already gone with the wind.
My struggle with loneliness continue.

She was the fourth girl who's accompanied with me since I started having romantic relations with any woman for the first time at age 30. Before 30, I just kept on failing to have any physical relations with any woman. I mean my chastity kept on till age 30. I mean I was unable to break out the cocoon of my own realm till age 30. So throughout my 20s, I had been always alone, spending all day &night long only either in my study or in library reading tens of thousands of books exactly literally.
So I think I just got back to what I used to be 20 years ago.
It was spring 2000 when I separated with my third love, I met my fourth one in summer 2003 so for more than 3 full years I hadn't have a girl friend, and I hardly remember what I was doing during these three years. Regardless of whether we have a girl friend or not, we are just unable to have a meaningful life in either case. I think as long as we seek for truth in women, we were unable to find solutions. Solution to life's located somewhere other than in girls.
Nevertheless I seek for girls, therefore life is meaningful.

do you mean that girls make life meaningful, or that searching for girls makes life meaningful?

The last sentence was rather ambiguous. I meant a girl makes my life meaningful. It is of no use spending our precious time in searching for girls. In other words, who to get along with doesn't make a lot of sense, but it is meaningful for us to get along with a woman whoever she is even if we happen to have such relations with the woman. I mean 'with who' doesn't matter, but 'how' to get along with a woman whoever she is, that matters.
I don't have girlfriend, that is the question. As long as I have human relations with a woman, it doesn't matter whoever my girlfriend is.
Lack of my love, that matters. As long as I go with a girl, no matter who she is. Of course I love pretty, young, intelligent woman, but that's another matter.

Technocrat.net

If I were not in Slashdot, probably I am in Technocrat.net.

'Atchan Bouy'

'People prefer believe in nothing rather than not to believe.' - From 'The Genealogy Of Morals', Nietszche.

'Blackjack' is a backstreet surgeon who has not qualified as a doctor and demands tens of millions of dollars for him to ask surgery, he is a well known character created by Osamu Tezuka, anime writer, who was also a medical doctor himself.

He(Blackjack) lives with a girl whose name I can't recall, I must confirm that he is not a paedophile, he just chose to live a girl with whom he is unable to have relations in the first place.

Her cliche is 'Atchan Bouy'. Bouy might be 'V'. In Japanese sounds, 'V' and 'Bouy' doesn't make difference, anyway, that doesn't change in essence the phrase is meaningless. She says many times this phrase instead of saying something meaninful. -Atchan Bouy!

Not only this anime but also others as well along with other cases of comedians, cliche is often used to call for laughing. I recall Nietszche's remark on the essence of religion I raised above. In the age of nihilism after the World War II, we all were caught by an apathy of something, these kinds of repetition of phrases might be the largest resistance general publics were able to make in public.

The Sponsor

When I started posting journals and comments on Technocrat.net in December, last year, I was unable to find an advertisement at the upper part of the site. Soon after when I found the advertisement, I still remember I was glad to see it.
I have no idea how much cost it takes to maintain the site like this - non-profit and based on a benevolence and conscience with the aim of spreading knowledge and enlightening, it takes money to mantain it but nobody's willing to pay for because of only the reason this site is such a nice site.
There must be several ways to bring money to the site. Subscription, Fundraising, Advertisement. We can't expect too much on subscription. We want to use it without paying basically, besides sharing knowledge, interest, hobby ought to be run in an exchangeable base - I was able to know it through your journals, comments, submissions and I will contribute them in exchange, thus both sides are beneficial.
Wikipedia- type fundraising is one of the best ways to collect fund from unspecified users and it is completely based on freewill of the users, it's not compulsory, it is based on voluntary, but still very motivated from the user's intention -Eager to maintain the site, but it's a little bit difficult to demand such campaign in such a small community like this. Fundraising campaign would only invite similar to semi-compulsory subscription. -If you can't contribute some fund, you would not be allowed to use the site any more. - That's opposite to the spirit of the liberation of knowlegde firstly aimed at at the beginning of the foundation of the site.
In the end, we end up resorting to the help of sponsors who're willing to pay and show their advertisement and expecting to gain more profit and advantage by paying money and showing their advertisement at the site.
The most successful example is of course 'Slashdot', since this site attracts tens of millions of users, it can find more and more sponsors who are willing to pay for it. The solution for us to find more sponsors is to try to make this site more and more attractive by contributing lots of interesting journals, comments, submissions.
Simple but it's difficult, that is the question.

I don't know it's bad or wrong, though, it is certainly difficult to assess the evaluations other moderator already did. When we were nominated as a moderator, we just spend many hours to mod, since it depends on our evaluations too. When it comes to meta-moderations, we've got too many things that we cannot judge from what we just see from someone's comment and its moderation.
