No. The word 入力 is much older than the computer and data processing. Its original meaning is "to put the power on" a machine.

"to iu koto" refers to the begining of the sentence, "Rin to tomodachi ni naru to iu koto" you could translate it by "what I mean about become friend with Rin is ..." or "the fact to become friend with Rin" or something like that.

I'm not a good teacher sorry ^^
@SianaRei: T'inquietes pas! J'ai maintenant compris~ hehe merci. =) ♥

And thanks so much for the effort. For the most part, I understand~ so I appreciate it, hun. <3

@Masaegu: We were kinda talking about me, being boring LOL. And also his friends. :/
I forget exactly what was said, but it doesn't matter I guess. I understand what it does now, so.
That's all that matters in the long run. =) Thanks to you too, for the reply.

J'ai étudié le japonais 5 ans à la fac et j'ai vécu 1 an à Tokyo. Je suis rentré il y a 3 mois. J'attends de pouvoir repartir...
mais je ne suis pas super douée en Japonais (pas trop le temps de réviser et de pratiquer)

Tu vis au Japon? Où as tu appris le français?

Je me demande si c'est une influence anglaise d'ajouter le 'p' à oui et non. Et ah cela explique ta compétence japonaise. J'spère que tu peux retourner ici bientôt.
Eh oui, je vis près de Shinjuku. J'ai appris le français deux ans à l'université mais j'ai oublié beaucoup parce que je n'emploie ici jamais le français.

Peut-être nous avons déraillé trop de la matière. J'espère te revoir sur JF.

(Sorry guys! No more chatting, I promise. )

Again, can someone tell me the meanings of the words in red? I've looked up the words in dictionary, but I'm still not really sure.

1. カッと目を見開き、覚醒したサクラはへっぽこ発言の撤回を激しく求める

2. 二人の間に、微妙な空気が流れる

3. 優等生の姿を演じ、担任に取り入り、教室の中で自らの居場所を作り出すその手段に安易に 皆騙されていましたが、わたくしだけは違いましたわ

My guess is that 微妙 means "awkward", 担任に取り入り means "gaining the homeroom teacher's favor", and へっぽこ looks like "impudent" to me.

微妙な is really hard to translate. Awkward is one way, but it could also mean like 'complicated' or a delicate situation, or even 'so such and such it can't be described in words'. It's really ambiguous. ^^' I've even seen it translated in some situations as a sort of 'eh, didn't quite do it for me, but it wasn't bad/good per se' sentiment. So really you need to look at the surrounding context and try and feel out what fits.

I'm not sure but へっぽこ+N could be more like 'untrained X' or 'roughX'. like へっぽこ医者 is something like a quack doctor. Or like someone who likes and does something, but unprofessionally and without the full kit, or perhaps just plain isn't very good at it.

You have got #2 and #3 correct.

へっぽこ means "good-for-nothing". However, what is more important is the structure of 「へっぽこ発言」. This is NOT "adjective + noun". 
It means "someone's remark of calling her dumb".

Thanks again for the explanation So へっぽこ means the same as ダメ after all.

O2 1st ALBUM "STAY TRUE" PV曲「街道14」 - YouTube

I tried to look online for lyrics to this song, but I can't find it no matter where I look. So I tried to write the lyrics by myself. There's a lot I can't understand and errors everywhere. Can a native person correct what I wrote?

Thanks

Jesus that was hard. I know a lot of what I wrote didn't make a lick of sense. Hopefully someone can correct the mistakes. Thanks a lot!
