Not sure about the use of dollys but I always love seeing "Doctor Yellow" speeding past. It measures track and cable conditions.

When I see "bullet train" I think "Shinkansen". The current ones are conventionally wheeled. I've travelled on the Shanghai airport Maglev train and the much slower Linimo in Aichi, but I don't consider either a bullet train. Interesting to see what other people think when they read/hear "bullet train" - living in…

"Like other bullet trains, the L0 relies on magnetic levitation"

One of my oldest friends is one of the bright minds who worked on this, it sounded very interesting. I think it was developed to try and increase obesity/profits in the Indian market. Oddly, she is also an Oompa Loompa so your theory is correct.

I'm not a fan of the "I'm the only foreigner in the village" types. It's fun to laugh and joke about shared experiences, there's no need to pretend you're something special and act like an asshole to others.

If that's the case, then I'm sold.

No cheesy, unrelated background videos? No sale.

It's a Peugeot 306.

Ukyo Katayama. Murray Walker said so and he was never wrong. Never.

Dominos in Japan is so ridiculously expensive that you're probably still better off after buying a dorky T-shirt and claiming your 25% discount.

Have to admit... one drunken night a few years ago when McDonalds in Japan were doing Big Macs for 200yen (and the exchange rate was significantly better) a few friends and I did order 25 of them. It was not a night I am proud of.

I've just built myself a mini ITX gaming/HTPC machine, but I went with the Fractal Node 304 case instead. Looks might be questionable but for me the BitFenix is too big for an ITX case.
