Abe said he wanted to revise the U.S.- imposed, pacifist Constitution that formed the basis for Japan's postwar development. He also wants to revise quickly the other legal document of the postwar American occupation, the Fundamental Law of Education, and stress moral values, patriotism and tradition in schools.

"How was Japan's postwar era?" Abe said in his campaign book, "Toward a Beautiful Country," in which he describes himself as a "fighting politician."

"By entrusting our national security to another country and putting a priority on economic development, we were indeed able to make great material gains. But what we lost spiritually - that was also great."

The emergence of a prime minister with no personal experience of the war is considered a significant turning point in Japan, where the absence of a national consensus on the war continues to trouble relations with the rest of Asia.

Looks like anime as reality is one step nearer? The future seems more interesting, if not brighter, with a high tech woop ass japanese defense force.

Introduction

IPMItool is a utility for managing and configuring devices that support the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) version 1.5 and version 2.0 specifications. IPMI is an open standard for monitoring, logging, recovery, inventory, and control of hardware that is implemented independent of the main CPU, BIOS, and OS. The service processor (or Baseboard Management Controller, BMC) is the brain behind platform management and its primary purpose is to handle the autonomous sensor monitoring and event logging features.

The ipmitool program provides a simple command-line interface to this BMC. It features the ability to read the sensor data repository (SDR) and print sensor values, display the contents of the System Event Log (SEL), print Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventory information, read and set LAN configuration parameters, and perform remote chassis power control.

It was originally written to take advantage of IPMI-over-LAN interfaces but is also capable of using a system interface as provided by a kernel device driver such as OpenIPMI on Linux and BMC on Solaris 10 or the new OpenIPMI-compatible driver in FreeBSD.

Synopsis: Factotum

Based on the novel by (and the life of) Charles Bukowski, 'Factotum' follows Henry Chinaski (Matt Dillon), whose fondness for booze, gambling and sex keeps him perpetually adrift. Henry occasionally attempts to work on his writing career, but his haphazard efforts yield him little but rejection letters from publishers. Somewhere along the way he falls into a relationship with Jan (Lili Taylor), a fellow lost soul who shares his taste for living on the edge.

This is playing at the Tara in Atlanta. WOOT! Go Chinaski!

Sun’s vision is to make Solaris on Opteron an industry leader. Unlike IBM and HP, which treat Opteron like a second-source Xeon, Sun invested in unique engineering that leverages Opteron’s superior performance and power utilization characteristics while meeting enterprise expectations. Sun’s Opteron systems are not the vendor’s cheap seats reserved for those who can’t afford RISC. Sun is as serious about AMD64 as it is about Sparc.

Sun also stretched its neck out -- way out -- by daring to differ with the seemingly universal consensus that Linux is the path paved with gold. Is there a compelling reason to abandon Unix? Maybe the qualities that made Unix an enterprise mainstay still exist. Linux faithful mock Solaris with the adolescent nickname “Slowaris,” but I challenge critics to find one instance among the innumerable huge-scale Solaris deployments where decision makers are considering a switch to Linux for speed’s sake. The only intelligent argument in favor of taking Unix down was that it was closed source. So Sun took the bold step of open sourcing its crown jewel, Solaris, to take the “proprietary” millstone from around its neck. Now Solaris is the only one of the Big Three Unixes that is open source.

Sun kicks ass.

''When you look at the numbers, there is a tremendous amount of data that supports the supposition of election fraud,'' concludes Freeman. ''The discrepancies are higher in battleground states, higher where there were Republican governors, higher in states with greater proportions of African-American communities and higher in states where there were the most Election Day complaints. All these are strong indicators of fraud -- and yet this supposition has been utterly ignored by the press and, oddly, by the Democratic Party.''

Flashing a RAZR to enable OBEX.

HowardForums: Your Mobile Phone Community & Resource - V3M Seem Edits (Questions)

This wiki was started so we could put together a basic, step by step tutorial for taking an untouched Verizon Razr, flashing it and then restoring all the things lost in the flashing process. A lot of what is in this tutorial will be taken word for word from pages and posts. No one is looking to take credit so if you see your own words, please be thankful that you are helping out your fellow modders and not mad that someone copied and pasted your stuff. This was figured out by lots of people and to thanks to all those who put the time and effort into doing that. The only problem is that for a person to mod and then fix their phone, they would have to sift through hundreds and hundreds of posts over lots of pages. If you are a noob then it becomes a bit daunting. That is where this wiki comes in. This is a collaborative effort so please add your knowledge base to this and improve it where it is needed! Please make your additions as "noob friendly" as possible! This needs your help…all your help!
