I don't read Japanese, so I couldn't tell you how to pronounce it, let alone translate it, but here [http://vmd.jvcmusic.co.jp/-/TrackDownload/VICL-36284/1.html] is the song you're looking for. And this [http://www.jvcmusic.co.jp/chiaki/] is the artist's homepage. I found it by recording a few...

I've got no ethical problem with the scenario you describe, but I'd be really hesitant to do it. Not only do you risk being accused of breaking the law (a relatively slim chance) you also run the risk of downloading a copy that has a virus or other malware embedded in it (a much more likely threat).

I'm pretty sure "twenty ten" is incorrect grammar (at least in America- I can't speak to other dialects around the world). Two hundred years ago, people would have said "eighteen hundred and ten". As a shorthand, they eventually dropped the "hundred and" and just said "nineteen ten". So...

One thing that trips me up is when a guy is posting a really angry rant, but his avatar is a cartoon character with a *huge*, stupid grin. Intellectually I know that his avatar has absolutely *nothing* to do with what he's saying at the time, but the juxtaposition of the two just makes it...

Musical dialog? You mean like this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-9my0tsutw]? Heck yeah.

Hopefully this means Escapist is finally upgrading their video quality. Only time will tell...

This. What really irks me is that badges are showing up for shows that I watched a couple episodes of and hated. I don't want other people to know I watched that crap! :) Seriously though, it would make a lot more sense if there were badges for watching every episode of a given series...

How about we all pretend that women can and often do cook and that men can be and often are scientists and stop being so touchy. Newsflash: the women's rights movement won over 30 years ago. Can we please just grow up and move on, now? Not everything that happens to align with old stereotypes is...

The problem is, when people talk about 'modern gaming' they usually mean games made in the last 3-5 years. Gaming has been around for about 40 years now. If you look at all the games released in those 40 years and compare it to the ones released in the last 4, of *course* there's going to be a...

I wonder what the reaction of all those trekkies who had traveled to the birthplace of Kirk for the screening was when they finally saw it and realized, five minutes in, that the movie changed the continuity so Kirk wasn't even born on Earth- let alone Iowa. :)

There seems to be some disagreement on that point. This site [http://www.trekmania.net/diplomatic/federation.htm] says that the President keeps his residence in Paris but conducts business from San Francisco. Wikipedia cites Star Trek IV as establishing the legislative branch of the Federation...

Be aware that if you've got a fairly recent computer, you may end up jumping through hoops to get KotOR working on it. I got it working on mine, but I had to edit configuration files by hand and tweak game specific settings in the graphics card drivers. If you don't want to deal with the hassle...

If you had bothered to ask WA it's release date you would know it was only just released on May 15- not 'ages' ago. You would also know that May 15 was 3 months 19 days ago 15 weeks 6 days ago 111 days ago 79 weekdays ago 0.3041 years ago 135th day of the year 20th week of the year...

Commodore 128. Great computer- it could run all the C64 games but it could also handle software designed to take advantage of the extra processor power and memory. It even had an optional *gasp* 80-column display mode you could turn on by pushing a toggle switch on the keyboard before...

You usually don't see it on consoles - but when you do you're much worse off. For instance, I have a copy of Jak X that is riddled with bugs and freezes every other time it goes to save data. It's nearly completely unplayable as a result. If it was a PC game, there'd be a good chance that I...
