Not really. A lot of people in chat oriented threads like this use tripcodes and names just for chat purpose, but in most other threads people use names and tripcodes only when they need to, like when seeking advice over a long period of time.
No and no. Rest assured. The power to the plant has been pretty much restored. Things will get back to normal earlier than feared. Rolling blackouts are in effect only on the far outskirts of Tokyo.

I'm thinking about going to Japan not with a school trip, and instead with one or two friends. But to pay for it, we would need to find a scholarship or financial aid or get a job in Japan or something. Any ideas?
Not being able to go and help, the only thing I can do is not to spread any false information and raise fears among people outside of Japan. That's true, but trust us, there's really nothing to worry about here right now. Foreign media coverage of the situation is too fear-mongering.
Some shed light on the ways overseas media reports situations here inaccurately.

Cough cough... I have had this bad cough for a week. My throat is really sore. And I have this bad feeling that my left ear is getting sore too. Whenever I have a cold, I've got middle ear infection. It seriously hurts!!
