But you're only looking at nerd in one context, which is a hobby one. A nerd can be defined as an overly intelligent person as well, they're just less socially skilled.
Japan has very legitimate reason not to accept the word otaku in a positive light since several rather gruesome crimes...

Actually not all otaku want to learn Japanese either. I know plenty that just like a bunch of Japanese stuff, but have no interest in the language in general and still call themselves otaku. They may like a few terms, but don't take it further than that.
You're being myopic again. One doesn't need to work in a certain country to learn another language for it to be useful. I took the language because we DEAL with other countries, genius. It's good to learn another language that isn't Latin based or one of the "romantic" languages, not because...
They need their porn. But seriously, the front page says they're ordering a NEW SERVER. If someone is ordering a new server, it's probably a good idea to WAIT until the transfer is done since it's obviously telling you the site is inadequate right now.
