Dokdo

Dokdo 03/19/2005 02:50 AM

Dokdo is a small Korean islet which Japan continues to argue ownership over.  This week Shimane Prefecture assembly passed a bill claiming Takeshima (Japanese name for Dokdo) as a part of Shimane Prefecture.

Shimane Prefecture officials and assemblymen made a grave mistake.  If their intention was to bring more attention to fishing rights problem, they certainly got it in the worst way possible.

Japanese government also made the stupid mistake of underestimating how intensely Koreans feel about Dokdo.  While most Japanese are ambivalent about Dokdo, 99% of Koreans feel very strongly about Dokdo.

If you find it difficult to understand why Koreans are so upset over a pointless bill passed by Japanese prefacture over a pile of rocks, just ask the person next to you to kick you between the legs and then ask yourself why you are rolling on the ground.

Dokdo according to China

Dokdo according to China 03/28/2005 03:55 PM

Xinhua, China's state run news agency makes it clear what China's position in the dispute is.  Here is an excerpt from Chosun newspaper (couldn't find an english version of the Xinhua article):

When we look at history, Dokdo has been recorded as Korean territory since 512 A.D., while Japan began considering it Japanese territory from 1905... - Xinhua News Agency

While China has their own territorial dispute with Japan and the current Chinese government has been accused of rewriting history just like Japan, my own bias tells me they are being truthful here.

Dokdo and Kunibiki Legend

Dokdo and Kunibiki Legend 03/22/2005 04:58 PM

It turns out that Shimane Prefecture has a legend called Tale of Kunibiki according to which gods created Japan by pulling lands from far over the sea.  So Japan was created out of scraps stolen from other countries?  This shameless legend is interesting from engineering point of view but also offers a glimpse of the mentality behind Shimane assemblymen who, no doubt, grew up with the lengend.

I better alert Homeland Security Department to watch out for ropes around Hawaiian islands.

Dokdo and Kurile Islands

Dokdo and Kurile Islands 03/22/2005 04:58 PM

An interesting Russian news article about Dokdo.  Also, Korean fighter jets had to scramble to warn a Japanese military jet away from Dokdo on the day Japan's Shimane prefecture passed the Takeshima bill.  Apparently, Japan's ultra-conservatives are keeping themselves busy fighting not only Korea but also China and Russia.

I forgot to mention that 2005 is the Japan-Korea Friendship Year.  As the popular saying goes, who needs enemies when you have friends like this?

Fire GL Mod 06/17/2004 10:42 PM
Do you have an ATI Radeon video card? If so, Adrian's Rojak Pot has a story up that shows you how to convert your Radeon based video card into a Fire GL card, with no physical modification through a process which modifies the video BIOS. The difference primarily between a normal Radeon video card and a Fi re GL card is (drum roll.....) $120+ dollars, and enhancements designed for CAD and rendering programs. (entire list of certified programs that take advantage of Fire GL are in this PDF, including Adobe Premier) Video BIOS images are available here. Of course, modding your video card is certainly nothing new, as hacking ones BIOS can be an easy (if not somewhat dangerous) way to get more power from your investment. (Note: Although you can save a bad flash, the process is somewhat difficult. Attempt mod at your own risk.)
