I hadn't heard of it.... but I have to say I wouldn't put too much stock in it (and I'd be wary of any company that used it for hiring )
I might think more of it if the allowed answers were a bigger range and the questions didn't raise more questions. Half the questions lacked enough information to form a quick or easy answer. More questionable is that it scored me Primary=artistic and secondary=social. Seriously offbase analysis ... considering most of my life has been happily engaged in science and engineering. The big problem with the questions are -- I would mark "like" for activities that involved solving problems. I like to solve problems, its why I do science and engineering. The test skewed "problem solving" off into occupational areas I have zero interest in (social work, movie production, etc).

please please somebody tell me i have just finished watching the anime called "claymore" but i am not sure whether it has a second series or not because the last episode i watched was the final but it seemed to me that things remained hanging up in the air. If anyone knows please tell me so that i can find and watch it to the end.

Sometimes anime series when based on manga series have an open ending with which they try and persuade the reader to continue reading the manga (cause the anime ended but the manga still continues, they persuade you to read on in the comics what happens next). Some receive an adjusted ending which is not in the manga, but for a series as Claymore the manga continues where as the anime has ended. More or less that way of making anime makes me think it is nothing more but a long, long, long commercial to buy the manga |

First chapter of probability : because tied scores do not dictate any outcomes. Since the sign test is used to determine yes/no occurences only (for any basic statistical method for that matter), it omits tied scores.
To calculate tied scores, use multi-value logic (like fuzzy) instead of probabilistic logic. Tied scores are considered multi-value as there is more than one truth/lie value. On the other hand, it might not work since tied scores could also mean zero value - there is neither true nor false in the definition. Question : Does importing pneumatic nailguns count as arms trafficking?

Okay, so, I am studying Japanese and French in my spare time for my own edification, but I'm thinking I might pick up a third one. What I'm wondering is if anyone has recommendations for languages that sound pleasing.
Keep in mind that I already have Latin firmly in hand, and having studied German have no wish to delve into it to that extent. I know some Spanish, but pursuing it to fluency is up for consideration. So what else can people recommend to me?

Well, I find that there's an inherent beauty in the way languages are constructed, and I suppose it is a reaffirming thing to see that despite our many conflicts, human beings can cooperate so extensively as to create so many functional solutions to the problem of communication.
So I'm hearing Spanish and Mandarin. Any other recommendations? Remember that I'm mainly looking to hear about languages that you find pleasing to listen to. Practicality is certainly a bonus, but first and foremost I want something that feels and sounds good coming off the tongue.

The manga sites are being discussed in the manga subforum in a sticky thread if you want more information about events surrounding the various scanlation sites. I suspect this new stance from manga companies will only succeed if they provide better synchronization of english translation releases than they have. Otherwise, people will simply continue to scanlate and release via other internet protocols -- people want to read a manga within a reasonable time from its japanese release, not years later. People don't want to invest in a manga series only to have a jackass company like T*ky*p*p drop it into limbo with no explanation (e.g. ARIA, T. Moon Phase). One of the worst things in Japanese culture is to be considered unreliable, so certain US/western manga distributors should be on notice that this new game only works if they perform.

So time for a rather odd question on cosplaying, I am wondering why is that a girl cosplaying a male character is so generally accepted, while the guy cosplaying a female character isn't?
Also I mean ignoring the awful ones that are so very wrong for reasons besides gender thing, you know the ones xD. Edit: Made this post before I saw this in silly news, so maybe it's just non-japan then?

btw I highly doubt that this thinking is absent from Japan, in response to the post you referenced. |
