  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    WinXP on an Intel Mac - official

    All in all, it's probably a good move for Apple and will no doubt attract some of the fence-sitters who were holding off on switching to a Mac because of a few Windows apps that they need to use. Personally though, I don't play PC games nor do I have a need to use any Windows specific software...

    The Contest - Windows XP on an Intel Mac, $11,908 so far...

    It seems that a similar site just got shut down by Apple's lawyers. http://www.macworld.com/news/2006/02/17/osx86/index.php The whole thing seems like a waste of time to me, but to each his own...

    OS X Users: 10.4.5 is out

    I found the Macworld article to be rather amusing: Wow, what are the chances that an anti-virus software maker would want to claim it's a virus? :doh: I'm reminded of Symantec's dubious report on the state of Mac security, which was released a few months ago in an obvious attempt to stir up...

    OS X Users: 10.4.5 is out

    I just downloaded it this morning. Size-wise it's one of the smallest updates that Apple has released in a long time, so I imagine it's just a few minor fixes.

    Like I said, Taito-ku, near the park. Yeah, but the transportation system is great here, so I've never bothered with getting a license.

    Saitama is the poor man's Tokyo. ;) It's a big park, probably one of the largest in Tokyo.

    Taito-ku, not too far from Ueno Kouen and the zoo.

    ESL in Asia

    If you were only denied being able to view "a couple" of apartments, you definitely got lucky. I've been through the house search three times, and have been turned down up front for being a foreigner on at least 20 - 30 occasions...it happened so often, I've actually lost count. One real estate...

    ESL in Asia

    How old are your students? All of the Koreans I've ever met have no problem writing their names in Chinese characters.

    Good luck to you! Whereabouts in Tokyo?

    ESL in Asia

    Quite true, I think. It's strange though that many Japanese don't seem to reciprocate the same dislike toward Koreans. In fact, for the past couple of years Japan has been experiencing a "Korean boom" of sorts, with dozens of Korean dramas on TV, and Korean movies and musical acts doing quite...

    ESL in Asia

    Chinese characters are still used for writing names in Korean. I think this topic was covered in another thread here, but I'm too lazy to search for it.
