cuddles was joking, but I have seen costume changes in front of the audience. You just wear one over the other, naturally.

Personally I would prefer a niconico application before Flash. And I would prefer SVG+JS before Flash too. And Java. And background apps (once they figure out the battery issues.)

It would make a lot more sense (to me, anyway) to point out that having a conversation with another person on the train is OK, while talking on the phone isn't. Wait a second...... but when you're talking to another person on the train, doesn't that double the number of people talking?
Personally I think it speaks for the notion that people are okay with conversations as long as they can understand it. They get irritated if the other contact is on the other end of a phone call, or if the conversation is in a foreign language.

This game is pretty old news. Isn't it a bit late to be kicking up a stink about it, America?

I'm sure no NEETs will buy this one. Depends on how well it charges solely from the light of an LCD.

The phenomenon of leftover food in Japanese restaurants isn't exactly a new concept. It was mentioned in Oishinbo right back near the beginning.

Actually to post what I really want to post:
You can buy books about rape without an ID card.
They still make movies with rape in them from time to time, and they may get high ratings but they don't tend to get banned.
Why is the game industry the only one ever shafted in this sort of situation? Any sex in a game and bam, can't release it. Rapelay in itself is a pretty boring game, but that's not really the point. Thanks to this idiocy on the grand scale, plenty of good games (primarily visual novels, many of which have a relatively small number of sex scenes) never reach us except through excruciating fan translations.

I'm sure if it were actually possible to ask a murder victim, they would disagree with you.

And if each of your two parents had dual citizenship and none of the countries overlapped, you should be allowed to have quadruple citizenship! And so on until you have someone who is a CITIZEN OF THE WORRRRRLD.

It should, and at least when I was in school it was.

Of course I meant "except for". I should hit myself right about now.

Japanese is all easy instead of kanji. I found keigo easy too. Kanji is simply hard because it's rote learning, and I've never been good at that. Plus, it feels like an unnecessary part of the language.

I suppose one reason Google might not work effectively is that so many Japanese sites block connections from outside Japan.

Indeed. The ability to hack devices is considered a "good thing", normally. They're just undoing all the damage to the functionality which Apple have done by locking it down.

If people have an issue with it not being bright at the end of the work day, then they should start and end work one hour earlier instead of changing time for all the people who don't give a damn.
If you ask me, daylight savings is the wrong way around. We need more light at the end of the day in winter, not in summer.

I want to know how they work too. Until I know, I am calling bullsh*t until I see the technology.
