Hi netters,

I know this is not appropriate news group, but I will
start from here.
I am looking for how Programable VCRs work.
I mean these days each TV program has its own code number
so we can use the code number when we record them using
VCR.  I need to know how to encode and decode the code 
numbers.  It seems like there is international standard
for coding, but I don't know where to find it.  I will
be really appreciated if you can tell me where to find it.

The above statement raises an extremely important philosophical
question -- to choose between bread or rice.  One can easily
exasperate mentally, especially at a bustling steak house in Korea
while your obedient waitress/waiter anxiously waits the answer to the
internal struggle between your rice-addicted stomach and
etiquette-filled brain.
   But more importantly, before anyone jump in to hastly conclusion,
the question is an answer in itself.

It's already pain on my ass to go thru that slow, far, mutil-hops

keep trying login & new to register themselves which leaves people

	It's quite difficult to talk about his work without being
commented about his personality, what it appears to be bold and
arrogant style of writing and speaking, and many other attributions
that he may or may not deserve.  Putting that a side for the sake of
narrowing down the topic of discussion, I would like to hear from
people who are interested in his Ki philosophy.  I'll post another
article for the criticism and admiration of this provocative
philosopher.
	Ki chul-hahk (or philosophy of ch'i for following chinese
pronunciation) is pretty well known phrase among Koreans who are
intersted in such, yet many are asking "what is it really?" I am one
of them, and I have very vague idea, or only a remote portion of this
philosophy. I'll shortly and simply state what I think it is.
	Ki philosophy is biological (re)interpretation of nature.  We
live in a world where physics dominated the scientific forum, and
still do, while biological science only took its foot off the ground
not more than 70-80 years ago.(Reason for this may be found when
looking at western philosophy and how western colonialism mutually
affected its philosop, and I mean maybe)e) Ki philosophy is to
revolutionize the understanding of nature in biological (vs. physical)
manner in which Kim believes that it will give more accurate definitions
and understanding to the nature surrounding us.
	I think this is good enough start.  Again, this is my own
understanding of Ki philosophy, thus your contributions would be
appreciated.

Come now...what I want to know is why anyone cares at all.
I mean, what's with all the analysis of the Korean male,
dating preferences, etc?  

My parents keep telling me to date Korean females, and they
expressed their wishes of wanting me to (in the end) marrying
a Korean woman.  Then I would usually reply with a "why?"
Then they go off on how it would be easier on the whole family,
how I should keep my heritage, blah blah blah blah.

I grew up in a predominantly Jewish/Caucasion suburban neighborhood,
and was treated no differently.  I know this is not the case,
(going to school in nyc).  Anyway, having read this article,
I notice that none of it really ties in with anything....so
back to my original question of why anyone cares so much in
analyzing the dating situation.

Later and may the culness quotient be with you.

It might be easier to look for them around you, though, of course, I am
willing to send copies by myself. For example, you can find (with
"Gopher") at Boston University a book which seems to be one of the
sources of maps I mentioned to in my previous post.

I am afraid that I could not figure out your point fully. Let me answer
to you in such a way that I would not miss what you really meant:

If you are saying that the sea had never been called 'Sea of Japan'
"Before the 19th century",

 then, refer to maps by Matteo Ricci or by other people.

Or, if you mean that even though some people have ever called it 'Sea of
Japan', the other name - 'Sea of Korea' - had been more popular ("the
name had been naturally accepted and widely used" in the world)

till "the name was 'forced' to be changed" "after the war against Russia",

 then, please show me something that can assure me that Japan really did
 that kind of thing.

till the trend changed, and you want to get back former popularity,

 I don't know what to say about that. Maybe it would be a good idea to
 ask Europeans, because, after all, it  was them (or not?) who started
 calling it with such names.

I was reading all messages posted regarding military duty in Korea. Before I
express my opinion about the topic, I would like to appreciate those who served
the military duty in Korea. I once discussed about the military duty which my
Jewish friends had to do in Israel. (They had to serve for three years.)
Surpisingly enough, they also divided into three groups, from people who are
proud of serving their country to the military should be avoided.
The reason I am mentioning about my Jewish friends is that both their and our
culture involves a very long, complicated historic background, so that it is not that easy to say it is just right or wrong about the military system, rather 
one feels more strong about the duty, meanwhile others don't.
My opinion and suggestion about the topic would be we should give credits to
those who spend their valuable time to serve our nation, meanwhile, we also
listen to one's opinion and take it as it is, but not trying to judge whether
it is just right or wrong. If we listen to each other's concern and opinion in
his/her point of view, we can possibly avoid many world's trouble.

	Somehow, U.S. Navy has been pretty strong in the air; check out

	Also, the fact that U.S. can bombard the land of Japan played

Yes.  I always wondered how frequent cases of kidnapping and the human
slave trade (inshin maemae) really are.  People were certainly worried
about it and talked about it a lot, but the evidence I heard about it was
largely anecdotal. One can see very easily how something like that is ripe
for sensationalization by the media; similar stories get attention in the
U.S. far out of proportion to the frequency with which they occur.  

No question that prostitution is rampant, but the lack of economic
opportunity for women seems a much greater culprit than actual kidnapping. 
Does anybody have any well-documented statistics on the prevalence of
kidnapping in Korea?
