    No, but if you have an Intel Mac you can dual boot Windows (or run something like Parallels), which will then let you run Share. Nope. However there are many files originally found on Share that are redistributed via bittorrent. But in using uTorrent, you cannot download directly from the Share...

    why do censored movies have much more beautiful actresses?

    But that's not the case anymore. It's just simply economics. It's cheaper to produce and sell videos domestically (ie: within Japan) than it is to spend extra money in order to export it outside of Japan (overseas business legal fees, registration, billing fees, etc). Accordingly: 1) The vast...

    Japan Fact Of The... Week

    Along this line, there are some cities where kei-cars (cars with tiny 660cc engines) are exempt from parking registration. Which is also partly why you see so many kei-cars (identified by their yellow license plates).

    Alternative?

    The de-facto JAV forum used to be JAVTalk, which closed down recently. Most of its contributers have now moved to javforum.net, and while it's not quite as extensive as JAVTalk was, the torrent section is very active.

    Senseless Search Failure

    Works fine for me. "Search this thread" for the term "thread" and I got two results. Now it should be three, including this post. Remember, search terms are character-specific, so a search for "MIDD273" would not match any post that contains "MIDD-273" or "MIDD 273", and vice versa. And since...

    What is the average pay that a Japanese brings home a week...?

    Sadly, in many industries it isn't even because that particular industry is suffering. Many companies are slashing salaries just to keep the wages at parity. Meaning companies are still making money, at the expense of its employees. But this is hardly anything unique to Japan, and in many cases...

    Former U15 idols who now do hardcore?

    Mizui Maki has already done AV (at least starring in two scenes I'm aware of). They were really obscure AVs, but it was unmistakeably Maki. I think she did not enjoy that experience and has since returned to chaku-ero, willing to settle for nudity and sexual situations so long as no actual...

    Share FAQ

    There are actually three systems: hiragana, katakana, and kanji -- and Japanese do in fact also use the western (English) alphabet. Additionally, katakana and alphabet (英数/ei-suu) can be written (on computers) as either half-width or full-width characters, each with their unique Unicode (or...

    Agreed. Additionally, while you can sometimes find out what drive is inside, manufactures will change their warranty terms simply because of how the drives are pre-packaged. Case in point: Western Digital MyBook (3.5") and Passport (2.5") pre-packaged external drives, which use WD Caviar and...

    Share doesn't need to find all the pieces, it just needs to find peers that are still sharing/uploading pieces of the file.

    Yes. Just copy the HF, RS, etc links and JDownloader will automatically download the files.

    It's not really "experience", it's just having common sense. If you were to pay someone ¥6000/hr for Japanese lessons, you would expect there to be some goal at the end of your lessons (whether it be passing JLPT, being able to read some book, having completed a specific text, etc), and that...
