Police took up pursuit in cyberspace after a young Norwegian posted a video of his wild car driving on the Internet. They caught him and slapped him with real life fine of 8,500 kroner (NT$44,500).
The Norwegian, identified only as a man in his early 20s, posted the video called Driving in Norway on the YouTube.com site in mid-November. The recording showed the car's speedometer hitting up to 240kph on a public highway.
"Police found the man by following the electronic trail that he left on the Internet," a police news release said.

In the video, which the driver removed from the Web site after it made national news in Norway, a voice could be heard saying: "We're touching 240. We know it will do it. This is a little nice." The car, a Skoda Octavia, hit the high speeds on the major highway E-18, about 35kms southwest of Oslo, the capital.
"It is disturbing that young people test high speeds on highways like that, and then, on top of it, use the Net to boast about the misdeed afterward," said Morten Hassel of the district police's traffic unit.
Police said they could only prove that he had driven an average of 139kph, and based the fine, which the motorist accepted, on that speed. The maximum speed limit in Norway is 100kph, but is lower on most roads. (AP)
挪威一位年輕人在網路張貼自己飆速開車的影帶後,警方在網際空間追捕。警方逮捕了這位年輕人,重罰他八千五百克朗(新台幣四萬四千五百元)罰金。
這名二十出頭的挪威年輕人十一月中旬在YouTube.com 網站張貼了「在挪威開車」的影片。影片顯示,奔馳公路的那部車子速度表飆到時速兩百四十公里。
警方一份新聞稿寫道︰「警方藉由追蹤這名男子的上網紀錄,找到了他。」
影片中可聽見一個聲音說︰「我們將達到時速兩百四十公里。我們知道它做得到。還算不錯。」這部Skoda Octavia的車子在首都奧斯陸西南方約三十五公里處的重要E-18公路高速狂飆。駕駛在影片登上挪威全國新聞後,隨即將影片從網站撤除。
地區交警單位的摩頓.哈塞爾說︰「年輕人在公路測試高速很讓人困擾。最過分的是,事後還透過『網路來吹噓自己惡行』。」
警方表示,他們只能證明那位駕駛的平均時速為一百三十九公里,罰金是依照那樣的速度,駕駛也接受了。挪威的時速上限為時速一百公里,但多數道路的速限更低。

A: Artificial intelligence technology has been causing controversy lately: a student was caught cheating with AI to win the grand prize in an art contest. B: That’s so absurd. Does this mean that AI paints better than humans? A: Maybe. Luckily, the student was later disqualified. B: And more absurdly, it’s becoming more and more popular to use AI technology to “resurrect” people. A: Yeah, some netizens even posted videos featuring the late singer CoCo Lee, who was “resurrected” by them with AI software. A: 人工智慧的爭議不斷,有學生違規使用AI參加美術展,甚至贏得首獎。 B: 真誇張,這是不是代表AI比人類還強大? A: 或許吧,幸好得獎資格被取消。 B: 還有更誇張的︰讓死者重現的「AI復活」技術越來越熱門。 A: 對啊,還有網友製作已故歌后李玟「復活」的影片呢! (By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times/台北時報張聖恩)
It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice. Japanese people have enjoyed noodles for over 1,000 years. The first noodles came from China and were introduced around 800 CE. As time passed, noodles in Japan not only became widespread but also developed some unique Japanese characteristics. The three most popular types of noodles in Japan are ramen, soba, and udon.

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
Continued from yesterday(延續自昨日) https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang As with many aspects of Japanese culture, there is etiquette to follow when you enjoy noodles. To fully experience noodles like a local on your next visit to Japan, consider these simple guidelines. First, be careful where you put your chopsticks. Don’t leave them sticking up in the broth or set them at the side of the bowl. When you have finished eating or if you’re taking a break, place them on the chopstick rest next to the bowl. Also, it is impolite to wave chopsticks around or bring them above mouth-level. Second, don’t take too
