It's sad that The Onion has had to let all their proofreaders go.

And born black. And ~~a Muslim~~ ~~a Hindoo~~ ~~an Indian~~ brown.

My point is not about how case is meant to be used my point is that it is very easy to make a mistake that is difficult to spot. I think it makes a lot more sense to the case insensitive, and force different names to be used.

I feel the same way about programming languages. There is no way that "User" and "user" should refer to different variables. How many times has that screwed people up, especially in a weekly typed language?

One of the many things that I feel modern versions of Pascal got right.

Famous people take out those kinds of insurance policies, or say that they have taken them out, in order to get attention.

The Japanese government wants people to choose citizenship by the end of their 20th year, because 20 is the age of majority in Japan. But if you don't say anything, they won't ask, and you can keep renewing your Japanese passport along with your other nationality's.

I'm a Canadian, and I was married to a Japanese woman. She was on the family registry, and our children were, but I was a comment. Way to show a commitment to treating all people equally, Japan!

I would imagine that it also has to do with the family registry. If a woman marries a man, she is taken from her own Family Registry and entered in her husband's. I would imagine that upon the husband's death nothing changes for the wife, but she has the option of returning to her own family registry.

I'm not 100% sure that this is how it works, or the reason for this termination, but it seems like a valid one.

Claiming to be a spiritual descendant of two established TV shows that have rabid followings but completely different styles, strengths, and weaknesses is rather suspect in my books. It will have to earn those comparisons, and I don't think it's very likely.

That sounds like a writer's pitch: "Yeah, Mr. DeMille, it's'Star Trek' meets 'Battlestar Galactica'".

The "Mission" paragraph above the highlighted text is even more ludicrous!
