@HaveBlogWillTravel: Having to remove apps doesn't make any sense... Is it because you're forced to have an icon for it on your desktop?

@Grimwolf: ...that's actually what lingua franca means.

@InsidiousTuna: That it's a bizarre, bastard lovechild of many other source languages is one of my favorite aspects of English. There are so many ways to say things, to say nothing of it's tolerance to all sorts of accents.

@Grimwolf: If we get down to sheer numbers, it might actually be Chinese.

@MrGOH: Actually, Japan was originally modeled on the German parliamentary system to allow a place for their figurehead emperor.

@Scazza: Because the Razr is the device in this relationship. It would be like plugging a mouse into a mouse.

If it turns out to be something resembling a fully-fledged computer (something my Droid is already tantalizingly close to being) I'll be happy.

Bravo.

@SINNED: I was. In high school. Many moons ago.

Maybe someday I'll be sick of Western games the way I'm sick of Japanese games. Having consumed enough of them as a hardcore otaku in high school, I know enough about them to know tropes when I seem 'em.

@Sonira: JASOOOON: Nothing wrong with that- I'm sure most of us would agree with a broad definition.

@nukee: User interaction is something a lot of people bring up as the kryptonite to the "games as art" argument, but in fact, I think that's somewhat contrived.

Now if only the reverse existed- I hate having to use iTunes to get things on an iPhone!

@DharmaLab: I've heard wine also works well in pans. Something to do with the alcohol.

I believe it's Media Player Classic that has the option to shut down Windows after finishing playback of a movie. Likewise, I think uTorrent has a similar feature built-in.

@citaro: Actually, thinking about it some more- your friends could be like legends in your game. You always hear about them as great heroes (or horrible villains- this is a Bioware game) by other inhabitants. You couldn't use gamertags directly I suppose, but something like Fable's nickname system.

I imagine this information incorporated in a really cool way- like a notice on a town message board extolling the virtues of someone on your friends list, or perhaps a bard singing songs about their adventures. It'd be like you're in the same world, but you occupy it in different times.
