Translation - English This is a brand new acronym which demonstrates SOHO's further development towards mobile SOHO.
Connectivity has already been established between the public land-line network and satellite communication network by means of wireless communication devices, and now a new business model incorporating this method of communication is about to be launched.
SOMO enables existing conventional fixed offices to create a mobile and well planned office.
Networking via wireless communications means you can fit more in. However, it limits the activities of those working for organizations. Where SOMO is to be used alongside Office Automation (OA), it is necessary to expand a person’s individual activities to provide flexibility as much as possible.
For example, external sales people may have been receiving instructions from their headquarters (hereafter referred to as ‘HQ’) and reporting back to HQ about their sales activities PHS (Personal Handy Phone) or mobile phone. (Previously they had done nothing.) However, under SOMO conditions, they would process their sales-related data and information on site or in-car (used as their mobile office) while coordinating with HQ.
This increases sales productivity. From a technical viewpoint, it is possible to communicate with remote access computers via the Internet. Employing these functions in conjunction with other in-car OA equipment turns them into a vital office space.
If you equip GPS cards with mobile information devices, this will provide an auto navigation. Moreover, this type of mobile office space can link with the base station via a network so that it will function as a remote mobile office.
English to Japanese: Anti-Spoofing General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: Computers: Systems, Networks
Source text - English Anti-Spoofing
Many network attacks rely on an attacker falsifying, or "spoofing," the source addresses of IP datagrams. Some attacks rely on spoofing to work at all, and other attacks are much harder to trace if the attacker can use somebody else's address instead of his or her own. Therefore, it's valuable for network administrators to prevent spoofing wherever feasible.
Anti-spoofing should be done at every point in the network where it's practical, but is usually both easiest and most effective at the borders between large address blocks, or between domains of network administration. It's usually impractical to do anti-spoofing on every router in a network, because of the difficulty of determining which source addresses may legitimately appear on any given interface.
If you're an Internet service provider (ISP), you may find that effective anti-spoofing, together with other effective security measures, causes expensive, annoying problem subscribers to take their business to other providers. ISPs should be especially careful to apply anti-spoofing controls at dialup pools and other end-user connection points (see also RFC 2267).
Administrators of corporate firewalls or perimeter routers sometimes install anti-spoofing measures to prevent hosts on the Internet from assuming the addresses of internal hosts, but don't take steps to prevent internal hosts from assuming the addresses of hosts on the Internet. It's a far better idea to try to prevent spoofing in both directions. There are at least three good reasons for doing anti-spoofing in both directions at an organizational firewall:
1. Internal users will be less tempted to try launching network attacks and less likely to succeed if they do try.
2. Accidentally misconfigured internal hosts will be less likely to cause trouble for remote sites (and therefore less likely to generate angry telephone calls or damage your organization's reputation).
3. Outside crackers often break into networks as launching pads for further attacks. These crackers may be less interested in a network with outgoing spoofing protection.
Japanese to English: Casino as an industry General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Games / Video Games / Gaming / Casino
Source text - Japanese 今回は、カジノについて、その起源から日本での実現性について、お話させて頂きたいと思います。ちなみに、私が英語を勉強しなければと思った理由の一つに、ラスベガスなどのカジノで会話を楽しみながら、ポーカーやブラックジャックができたら最高だろうなと思ったことがあります。
Translation - English Now, I would like to talk about casino from its origin to the possibilities to implement in Japan. By the way, one of the reasons I should study English is as if I were able to play poker and blackjack while enjoying conversing at casinos in Las Vegas.
"The history of casino"
The etymology of the casino is ‘CASA’ in Italian, which means a small house. And originally, it meant a villa owned by Lord noble for entertainment and socialization. In accordance with the changes of society, its characteristics have been changed to gaming society with amusement facilities, then after the industrial revolutions, many assembly rooms for the general public were built across Europe then they started calling them as casinos.
In the early periods, the casino is classified as "a salon of the privileged class" and “a place to gather for general public loving gambling". Afterward, each country imposed restrictions on gambling, then oppressed violators. However, when the French Revolution happened, the revolutionists took away these restrictions and showed tolerant posture for gambling surprisingly. Then they recognized casinos officially and regulated them, and finally started levying tax on the profit there. Each country’s government gradually became tolerant so that casinos became popular.
"Countries and areas where the authorized casinos exist"
Currently, over 120 countries, which account for over two thirds of the United Nations member countries, are authorizing casinos. In recent days, a casino was launched in Singapore in February. But, no casino has been authorized in Japan, which is the only country among all developed countries.
"The types of casino"
(1) “Compound model casino" being represented by Las Vegas
Large-scale institutions where casinos and compound entertainment facilities; this type of casinos is in the main stream. It is called as ‘Casino Resort’, too. Las Vegas, Macao and Singapore fall under this category.
As for the characteristic of the compound model casino, the gaming floors account only 3% of the whole buildings, and the rest 97% is used for other purposes like hotels, entertaining facilities. There are various types of casinos, for example, one established with theme parks like Universal Studio in Singapore, those with large theatres like cirque de soleil, those with art galleries, museums and etc., because the government mandates casinos to accompany them with other facilities other than casinos as a precondition to license casino management rights.
(2) "House type casinos" remarkable in Europe
The small prestigious restaurants where you can enjoy light meals and drinks co-exist with casinos.
In Europe’s long time history, casinos have been developed as the socializing place for nobles. Grand casino of Monaco or Casino Baden of Austria fall under this category, and it is called as ‘House type casino’. In these days, those are used as “The place to socialize for adults” so that you cannot use them unless you have the membership with local societies, no matter how much money you have.
(3) "The Cruise casino" in luxurious passenger liners
Many of long-haul large-sized cruise passenger boats have casinos. The passengers cursing boats registered as Japanese also have facilities in the name of the casino, however, Japanese laws are applicable even when those ships are out of Japanese territorial waters so that you cannot do the casino original plays and you have to do something imitations. In case of the ships registered as foreign nationalities, you can start gambling after getting out of Japanese territorial waters.
“Giant Casino”
There are many casinos with wider areas in the United Sates. However, the Casino with the world largest area in these days is Venetian Macao Resort of Macao. Macao surpassed Las Vegas in the casino profit of 2006, then became No.1
• The world largest casino - Venetian Macao Resort (app. 51,000 m²) ※ Equivalent to Tokyo Dome.
• The world second largest casino - Texas Station Casino (app. 25,000 m²)
• The world third largest casino – Fox Woods (app. 18,000 m²)
• The world fourth largest casino - The MGM Grand（app. 16,000 m²）
“What are high rollers and comp?"
In casinos, best customers using a large amount of bets are called as high rollers. There are many casinos making the clients’ drinking and meals, the lodging fee at hotels located with the casinos free of charge (or to give huge discounts to them) , or to give upgrade of the rooms. Those are called as ("comp", as abbreviation of “complimentary”. Even some casinos pay the full cost of the transportation to the casino locations. Also, the services enable the clients to see the shows which have so many people on the waiting lists over years, with no reservations, the services like fast-check-in/out, exchanging at “VIP Only” counter desk without joining the lines are included in ‘comp’.
“Casino Games”
The game performed in the casino is called "casino game" , and the number of casino games exceeds 100 on the globe.
The casino games are grossly classified into 3 categories as follows.
(1) Table Games
Games to perform on the tables such as roulette or playing card. The games using dice are included as well. It is common that there is a dealer at a table. This is the field with many kinds of games.
(2) Gaming Machines
The casino games such as a slot machine or video pokers are classified as a gaming machine. It generally refers casino games to perform with machines by individuals. Generally speaking, no casino employee is attending at the machines.
(3) Random Game
Tickets and cards put on the tables in the casino become the games. Keno and bingo games fall under this category.
“Casino Plan of Japan”
There have been movements to aim at authorizing the casinos to seek tax revenue generations and economic impacts resulting from casinos in some local prefecture and municipal governments, and the past remarks by the governor of Tokyo Shintaro Ishihara’s actions are well known. Recently, the governor of Osaka Mr. Hashimoto has spoken “to bring casinos to Japan” so that it has become talkative. In February, he made survey trips to Singapore and Vietnam for economic exchanges, and visited the compound casino resort in Singapore so that his motivation has grown up towards building casinos in Japan.
However, it takes time to make casinos open in Japan because of uneasy elements with building casinos like aggravating the peace and order, and negative influence on younger people.
You can enjoy gambling casino games as long as you are careful not to become too hot. For example, the higher amount of the admission tax (100 S Dollars for one day/2,000 S Dollars for one year) is charged to its own citizens and foreigners with permanent residency rights in Singapore.
Personally, it does not make sense to ban slot machines in the country where pachinko and pinball-style slot machines are authorized. For example, the amount to be spent per one game of pachinko is 15,000 to 19,000 Yens. On the other hand, the unit price per customer with slot machine at Las Vegas is app. 5,000 Yens.
The casino is expected as a gold mine in prospect of inviting the foreign tourists, and the large amount of tax revenue generations so that we would like the authorities concerned to surely make progress to realize.
