It's actually not cured meat, but Falukorv.

But in all seriousness, I wouldn't just dick around with Jose... sure he blows a lot of hot air, but if he does sue you a court will not look favourably on your unauthorized access, whether you did anything wrong with it or not. There is a reason why people were moving to get out of 8bc, and it was because Jose was becoming unstable and liable to throw an almighty legal hissy fit.

As e.s.c. pointed out, I'm from Sweden. I don't think anyone is untouchable just because they're out of jurisdiction, but I do think he'd have to come up with something more extraordinary in order to prosecute over the borders. I take my chances and I think I'm pretty safe. I think the only real risk I would be facing if the case actually goes through is to be a registered criminal in USA and possibly be denied entry if I were to travel there.

8bc wins hand down on quantity, but we win on quality.

That's an infromative post, Note! Thank you. Of course, the challenge to actually learn any reading and/or meaning for any useful number of kanji still remains. tongue

This is a question for anyone who can answer it, but I suspect Note! might have a clue. (Or Yano-san himself?)
Most kanji do, as you know, have a kunyomi (Japanese) and an onyomi (Chinese) reading. But is there any way, or rule of thumb, as to which reading is the appropriate one in a certain instance? Can you make it out from the position in a sentence or other factors?

Take Rei Yano's song title for example...
懐かしい都市
natsu-kashii toshi
The first kanji is natsu(ku) in kunyomi. Then follows the kashii suffix in hiragana. (Speaking of which, what does the suffix mean?)
Then follows, in onyomi, to and shi both meaning city in slightly different ways. I somehow get the feeling that it's rather Chinese to form words by joining similar signs in that way. Is that a useful rule of thumb?

Thanks for your time. smile

Great for the down-and-dirty piggger,eh...

Nope, Swedish Falukorv

Just to hijack this thread a little... Nijuu is obviously Japanese for twenty. But is that a reference to something or just a pretty randomly chosen name?

I switched my Shitwave avatar for a pink/black bass avatar. If I can do it, so can you!

OH SHI-!

Try to get an old network card to one your OPL computers. You should be able to get eg a 3c589 PCMCIA card for cheap from eBay. They are from that time so they're well supported in DOS.
