I didn't know that he is still alive :P

Yahoo!ニュース - ＋D Games - ハドソンの高橋名人、役職も正式に“名人”に

well, I try to explain briefly in order to understand what I write from now.
when I was elementary school student, a person called Takahashi Meijin (meijin means master).
what master was he?
He was a master of TV game. He was able to hit controller bottons 16 times in a second or so.
well, anyway, he was disappear from the game world one day.....
I haven't heard anything about him for a decade....
Now, he comes back again....
with his title, master........
so he is truly a master now..... :)
Takahashi master.....
well come back.

I wonder games these days are more complicated and do not require the skill he has anymore.
then what's the reason staying as a game master.....
I guess he is extremely good at games even now....

I don't think it's necessary

Read this -Calif. schools to fingerprint students - Yahoo! News
at some elementary schools in calif. plan to fingerprint students when they buy lunch.
an issue here is a privacy.
Currently, the school using a paper students who are applying governmental subsidy to sign in.
and it is inappropriate to reveal who is in the list....
Let's see from the economic point of view.
under current process, students sign their name, and then an officer record it into the computer and send it out to the governement.
I don't say the record students name into the computer is waste; however, it is pretty close.
well, yes, by adopting this system, there are some benefits such as student line might move faster.
I don't see clear reason for adopting this system. Is it necesarry for kids????
I don't think so.....
