    8.8 Richter earthquake hits Japan: Tsunami, nuclear meltdown, many dead

    NHK World is pretty repetitive, but I've noticed that sometimes they air dubbed NHK Japan, which is a little better.

    8.8 Richter earthquake hits Japan: Tsunami, nuclear meltdown, many dead

    Everyone makes their own decisions in life, but if they ever give a "stay indoors" warning for your area, I'd get the fuck out of dodge for awhile. Especially if I had kids or planned on having some. You've had 4 days of risks downplayed and truths hidden by the PM and TEPCO... NHK happily...

    8.8 Richter earthquake hits Japan: Tsunami, nuclear meltdown, many dead

    No guessing required, NISA confirmed it well before the explosion. See post #56. Partial meltdown (at least) is a accurate description of the state of Unit 1.

    I don't have a translation for this one. Google translate seems to suggest that estimated radiation levels in the surrounding 10km radius could be 20-50 times the maximum permitted. Anyone? source: http://www.cnic.jp/modules/news/article.php?storyid=997

    Hotfile Goes To War Against Copyright Infringers

    Where in Bakajin's posts has he backed a dog in this fight? As far as I can tell, he's just expressing his perfectly reasonable opinions on secondary liability and common law. You're confusing argument for advocacy... and getting really angry for no reason.

    Spyware Fun, Please Help Or My Week In Hell

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but noscript isn't going to protect you from anything other than annoying ads and social engineering type stuff. I'm pretty sure the majority of in-the-wild web malware is vectored through the Java and Flash plugins.

    meguIV: The Official Akiba-Online DVD Encoder (v1.0.1.1)

    If you and/or guy want to attempt a translation, I'd be very interested. The idea is to also have someone write a short "meguIV visual guide - now in Japanese!" news post linking to the new translation for our Japanese visitors. I think that would be an effective way of spreading the word.
