There's plenty of image hosting sites on the internet, but I don't think this is the point here.
I was also surprised why you'd draw such a conclusion from the guys choice of attire.

However, I do admit that I never understood why is it so hard not to take nude photos of oneself, and definitely not to trust the internet with them.

I don't disagree, but ultimately it's the taxpayer that pays,and those responsible... We don't even know who they are.
Since that money is nobody's, I don't think any sum would make anyone reconsider their tactics in the justice system.

Posted in: 3 people stabbed near Nagano Station; 1 dead See in context
I don't know if reading "this makes news so Japan is safe" under the daily stabbing article inspires much confidence.
Something IS going in the wrong direction. Where I am from, unless you specifically cross someone's path, you're not very likely to get stabbed if they don't have any beef with you.
In here, it's randoms being targeted, which means you cannot prevent it, therefore for me personally the chance of being stabbed is likely higher here... Still very low, sure, but worryingly rising it seems.

To be fair, with heating / cooling the air gets dry and sometimes people will cough especially when boarding a train from more humid environment.

Yeah, DDoS nowadays overloads whole AD, does not target some puny single or a couple of IPs. And if Akamai couldn't survive this, and they started as a DDoS protection company, then good luck. There's a certain budget companies are willing to spend on prevention, too.
But "spoofed IPs" is pushing it a bit, two decades too late. ;-)

@Albert,
The market doesn't seem to welcome price increases either, as statistics show.
I know nothing about the 年賀状 price hike (apart from the amount stated in the article), but it wasn't a smart move from the business perspective.

Not that easy, watch some stuff on that famous scammer girl who was doing it to get money for host clubs. The way those operate is that they basically trap you. I mean, sure, just say no and leave, but then again if everyone was able to do so, then scams would never happen.
