'No censorship of any kind shall be upheld'.
JAPAN ROCKS! If I wasn't in America, I'd definately want to be in Japan!!! just one problem: I'd probably be considered VERY RUDE because, well, I have terrible 'respect language'. I wouldn't know when to be formal, informal, or know about all the social status stuff, ect. I hope you know what I mean. You know, on Sesame Street, an American kids shoe, there is a guy named bert on it. :-) As far as the censorship, I don't really mind about naked cartoons--as long as it's not hentai. Hentai is just too weird and perverted for me. But, if it's something that will enhance he anime, then I like it, I guess. Don't get me wrong, or anything, I don't get off by seeing naked anime. I find the censorship deeply offensive. Most censorship that happens in America is totally unnecessary. Like, in Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon, America tears it to shreds. The pretty much KILL ALL THE JAPANESE CULTURE IN IT! I watch anime so that I can get a glimpse into Japanese culture, not so I can see it destroied and Americanized. Exapmle: Rei NEVER, NOT ONCE, says 'Serena(Usagi in the Japanese version), that's da bomb!' in the Japanese version. It's stuff like this that just makes me mad to no end. I guess what I'm saying is: I HATE CENSORSHIP AND WANT NO PART OF IT AT ALL!!!!!! Sorry to dissappoint you. I WILL put up with lots of Linux questions. Just, I can't answer them, because, well, I kinda know NOTHING AT ALL about Linux. I mean, if you want to ask me about 'what is Linux', or something easy like that, then I'll be glad to respond, but other than that, I don't know too much. Sorry! And also, thanks for putting up with all my questions. I'm just curious about Japan because it looks like one of the greatest places on earth! I tell ya, if I knew all the culture stuff, like respect language, and how to behave in social situations, I'd probably even move there someday, but I don't, so I have to remain in America for a while. I probably speak terrible Japanese, too. Still, I think I can write it pretty good. Do you know of any good websites to learn Japanese? I probably couldn't install and run a Japanese OS because I'd screw up the comptuer! If I had a spare, then I'd do it. But, I don't, so I cant. Thanks! I hope all is good it Tokyo! Oh, got a question, if you don't mind. When did 'Iron Chef' go off the air in Japan? I tried to go to the website, but it was closed. Believe it or not, there are still 'new' episodes comming out in America. Was that show rigged? I mean, was it pre-set, or was it not planned? Thanks. What exactly do you do at the DoCoMo building? I'd like to know :-) Have you ever been to America? ...Um, that's all the questions... THANKS AGAIN! (you'd think I'm getting burned out on all the thanks, but I'm not.) *****Colonel Panic***** |
relating to japanese linux apps
I couldn't help but notice this thread evolving into a conversation around Japan. I have lived in Osaka-fu for about 1 year, studying class Japanese lit at Osaka Gaidai in Mino-shi (in the northern part of the prefecture)...
I use Japanese word processing on a daily basis, currently working as translator/interpreter for a auto parts maker in Georgia. Just recently I've had a growing interest in computers and growing disgust with Micros$ft's make-shift software releases and foul business practices - not to mention the win32 and win2000/NT GUIs have no redeeming aesthetics... Anyhow, I've just gotten into the world of Linux, and after 2 weeks of struggling, I successfully installed Mandrake 8.0 on my new Dell, setting up a multiboot system with WinMe, 2000, and Linux. One of the core reasons I still need Windows is for Japanese and Chinese word processing. Upon installation of Mandrake, I did go ahead and specify Japanese, Chinese and Korean language support in the advanced options dialog. How about wp, though?? Are there any open-source apps for japanese and or chinese word processing. Like I said, I'm new to Linux, only a day in the making, actually. If you guys know any software I could use, please let me know.... Onegai-shimasu. |
What's up guys? I just started following this thread and wanted to add my 2 cents about Japanese culture and ppl. I love you guys! I know virtually nothing save the amount I've been able to pull from my study of martial arts and some History, and what my friends have been to Japan tell me. Still I am impressed with the people in general and wish that America had more of your culture. I love Anime also, but being from a big hick town, haven't gotten much exposure to it.
Best wishes with Linux. It is the bomb OS and a great learning aid; tinkering with Linux has shown me more about computers than I have ever learned in Windoze, simple becuase windows assumes you are a dumb user and masks the complexities. Linux forces you to think and learn, something I value. Anyway, take care. |
Japanese language on Linux
OK, sloptaco you need kon (kanji console) which gives you a Japanese language command line. This comes with what's called a kanji henkoh shisutemu, much like the one from them. From kon you can run emacs or gedit from this console. I think it's available from the Red Hat ftp site because I'm running RH7J using it.
I might not be able to help you much with setting it up but the installation guide should be in English. Personally, I retain Windo$e to run a few games which wine won't run (yet) and because the rest of Japan doesn't necessarily speak Linux (it's a cross we have to bear). Colonel - Sorry for not getting back. I don't watch much TV, so I'm not sure about iron chef. I used to be called cubed on this site but a glitch in the Redhat 7.1 installer made the upgrade crash not before writing my partitions and erasing all trace of an operating system! These things are set to test us. I chose the name Bert precisely because of the character in Sesame Street - you rumbled me.:D |
Hey Bert:
Haven't been able to get on here a while. Anyway, you might not remember 'Iron Chef', because from what I understand, it was on TV in Japan a LONG time ago (six years, I believe...). Still, I'm excited about it. In fact, it's comming on in a couple hours on "Food Network" ^_^ I'll find an Iron Chef webpage and post it, so you might get your memory refreshed. Sorry about your partitions getting erased! *****Colonel Panic***** |
Sorry for taking SO long! Anyway, maybe you didn't remember because of a 'bad' translation. Does 'Ryori no tetsujin' ring a bell? Roughly translated into English, it means 'cooking iron man' (but I know you knew that because your a translator. You have great English, from what I can tell!)
Sorrry for taking so long. If you want to see 'Iron Chef', go to the following website: http://www.ironchef.com I hope this sparks a memory! *****Colonel Panic***** |
Oh, and it's in English. I hope that's not a problem!

kanji on Dreamcast?
I heard there was some sort of bootlegged accessory which one could attach to the Dreamcast to convert romanized characters to various kanji...as far as I'm concerned, it soulds like the most blatant total nonsense, but I'm wondering if it has roots in anything truthful, since it's a rumor I've heard from quite a few people.
As for my 2 cents...I can't stand Tokyo. Crowded, superpaved, and an overt focus on 2-second pop culture which I can't abide. My father's family reside on the outskirts of Sapporo, which I love. I'm very fond of Hokkaido in general, despite the climate. |
Are you from Japan? Always wanted to go there...looks so nice.
Don't know about that Kanji stuff. Someone had to put A LOT of time and effort into doing it, if it exists. I don't think it exists, for the sole purpose of how much work it would require. *****Colonel Panic***** |
Hello Sancho5,
I do agree with you in one respect.. Linux does show you how and why a computer works. But I dont always agree that it is a good thing. For example, do you really think some little old lady around 65 or so really cares about why a computer works? No, they want to jump on, and have it do most everything. I am somewhat the same way, while I am much MUCH younger than that, Linux is awesome, dont get me wrong. BUT, it is somewhat tedious at times, and is not always pleasent unless I am out to learn something. Otherwise it is simply fustrating. |
Yeah, true. I agree with you in that respect; Linux has it's place, and not everyone would want it. But at the same time, this 65 year old lady is going to have a lot of the same problems using Windoze. After the installation, what is different between the two OSes? You can boot to a GUI, and double click the programs that you want to use, email, chat, browser, etc.
I think what it comes down to is whether people want to put forth effort to learn something. Windows tries to give the impression that you can use the OS without knowing anything about computers, like AOL - It's so easy, no wonder it's number one! The problem is, you can only mask things for so long, and then the false sense of security that folks have fades - what do you do when the OS breaks (which Windows inevitably does?) You panic, and you either pay 100 dollars for a tech to fix it, or you get on the internet, look up the answer, and do it yourself. Same with anything in life. You own a car, you better learn how to drive it, or you'll have problems. When it breaks, do you automatically send it to the shop, or do you figure out what it is? I think Linux is an OS that anyone *can* learn to use, if they want to put a little effort into learning it. This goes for Windows too; you're undoubtably going to have to learn things to get windows running right, and use your appz. The difference is, Linux is much more rewarding to learn than windows, as well as much more rewarding to use. Not to mention it's free. |
OMG! this thread has got to b the funniest off-subject job I've seen lol

Re: Linux and Playstation

Thanks for putting up with the questions. Fortunately for me, I can now watch some Japanese TV shows because of a San Fransisco TV station. Do you know of any good Japanese Linux distros out there? I was thinking about LASER5, (I think it's called that...), but am not sure. Also, how would I hexedit it so that it will display the english text? I don't care about the sentance structure, because I like the Japanese sentance structure better than the English structure! If I was to hexedit it, what will happen to the particles? subject_object_verb is my way to go. Thanks! Oh, and I can put up with some Linux questions now. I'm not a :newbie: anymore!
