Finally someone who actually answered the question. A daily user of PC and Mac. Well done Dims. You are the only qualified person so far to make a judgement in my opinion. Ocean I do respect your opinion and enjoy your comments etc, but you are not a current daily user so your views being historical are not relevant. Take OSX for a test drive first then please do offer your comments. As for Recall on batteries, you are talking about a hardware issue where as I thought the topic at hand was on the software???....

How many of you actually use both a Mac and Windows PC on a daily basis and would therefore be semi qualified to sate which is more stable or better than the other?

By longest memeber on SJ what exactly are you referring too?

Hold off on buying any Mac until at least the end of this Month. In particular the iMac. With the release of the Tiger slated for sometime this month there is talk of a beefed up iMac being released also to bring it up to speed for use with Tiger. (The current iMac will not be a problem, just maybe a little slower with the different video required for optimal Tiger performance.) As for the TV thingy there, I am to bgin research myself. I guess if you got a Mac Mini and used your TV as your puter screen then you could in effect say that yes you can watch TV on a Mac

Davo, you from CHCH?

If it is being used with the Livedoor matter then it is a dig at Horie to confirm with the ways of traditional Business J-land. He is not playing the game as a conformist is and the guys at the Fuji and others can't handle it cuase none of them are experts nor do they know who to approach for expert advice. Basically they are throwing all their toys out of the sandpit in a huff cause they are losing to a younger guy who should be conforming to society as they have for the last 40years of their careers. The "Otona no Chie" is a mere framework for which they are trying to shame hi

On a quick stock take I have the: Swiss Champ Explorer Escort Nomad (Except mine has a serated knife with lock) I am not a knife crazy person, just I either forget to take them on explorations with me and so I end up getting another. I carry the Escort with me all the time on my keys and has come in so handy. A legacy from my pipe smoking grandfather I guess. He used to have a similar knife that he used for cleaning out the tabacco from his pipe. The Swiss Champ is the ultimate. Not a situation it can't handle. I have to agree with miteyak on the sharpness iss

The J word would be 家庭内暴力 Katei nai bouryoku.

Think old tractor, WWF typeleather belt, some rope, a nut cracker device, leather glove protector and no groomed slopes and you have a club field. Some you can only access by walking too.

Actually I can only ski flat terrian confidently.

Thanks beanie man badmigs was on the camera and while the guy can ride a board he definitely should not be put in control of a camera!

I've been eargerly awaiting the publishing of mine too....

My Gran was made in England

But how can you make a measurement of mass by only using a measurement of area? Should this not be a m3 figure in the title? BTW, I am an arts graduate and not to up to the play with numbers and stuff

Stepchild, if my memory is correct I do beleive that Iwappara have the only superpipe in the Yuzawa area. I haven't been in a while, but I do remember that the Pipe was lift accessed in that there was a double chair running up the side of it for the length of it. Don't recall seeing any other park features though. If I am wrong on the pipe being the only one in Yuzawa, please someone do correct me.

Well that depends on what the product is really. If it were made of sheath rubber...

I have had JLPT and JETRO Level 1, Oral A, for the past 5 years and neither my current employer nor any future ones seem to give a toss. If you go to an interview anyway things pretty much speak for themselves right? I don't think here in Japan these make much difference, but if you want to join a J company overseas then you should come up top candidate with either of these plus your usual abilities. Most of getting both to these certifications is about personal satisfaction and testing onesself after completion of formal education. And perhaps brag rights...

Yeah pretty much so. Except I only speak da 標準語　& I add a few English sperlatives in between some of the J words for better effect. Oh and at 3.13% increase you have got to be kidding! I am defintely not that cheap! (Unless the Buchou is hot female in her ealry 20's and has a little more extracurricular acitivites to offer.)

Just to set the record straight, I wing it about 99% of the time and hope for the best.

Sorry, didn't mean to down the spirits... Really the basics aren't too much different to the JLPT and if you think you did well, then you won't have that much trouble. You might just surprise yourself at how much you already know but didn't realise it.

In the hope that some of the people whom have replied to interview requests of SJ are lurking on the forum, I put this poll up. (And to try and get it right this time.) Basically what is it that attracts you to choose a certain resort?

I have suits too! Don't like to wear them skiing, but am prepared to negotiate on this point if necessary.

Sorry about the flawed post. Guess it should be floored. Haw haw. I am not a US govt. employee so this was not intentional. Merely an amatuer at these thing.

You can prepare for the Oral by reading business reports etc in J and familarising yourself with the business Jargon. This of course goes for the main part of the test also. I would highly recommend spending sometime in meetings to get the flow of how J business meetings go. This will give you an understanding of the correct catch ball type conversation that will be tested on. In my test I had a role play on an HR issue; I was to be transferred out of the office to a subsidy and I had to reject due to family reasons. Bearing in mind that this does not really happen in J companies

Okay, it's flu season and oh-my-god-stop-the-world record hayfever " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> season(supposedly?!), neither of which I am happy to say that I suffer from at present, so this brings me to the Mask poll. How many of you admit to wearing one? Come on, don't be afraid to admit it! you know you want too!
