    Oh god Miyamoto I love you so much.

    EDIT: I just found out that particular article was derived from a roundtable Nintendo had earlier; in a more recent interview Aonuma said they were still talking it over.

    Browsers

    Let's talk internet browsers, KHV. What browser do you use? What add-ons do you have for it (if it's one that has them)?

    I've been using Chrome for several months now. Used to be a Firefoxfag. Discovered it years ago and initially fell in love with it because, unlike the version of IE that I was accustomed to, FF had multiple tabs, so I didn't have to open different windows to visit different sites, which was pretty handy. Not long afterwards this would become a standard feature for pretty much all browsers, so that was one strike against it.

    After that I pretty much stayed with it because of all the nice add-ons, which seems to be the reason why most people use it over Chrome. I dunno how many of you know this already, but Chrome's had extensions enabled since a while ago, and a lot of the good add-ons from FF have Chrome equivalents that work fine; everything else is only a matter of time.

    So, IMO, there's no reason for me to go to back to Firefox now. It's a good browser, but Chrome just runs much faster for me even with all the add-ons. It also lets me see more of the page I'm viewing, which is nice. I tried Opera for a while; it's not a bad browser either, but it doesn't have extensions like Chrome or FF, so I don't use it.

    So far I have the following extensions for Chrome:

    Pluto

    So I'm sure most of us know about Osamu Tezuka (one of the most important figures in the history of manga) and his creation, Astro Boy. The one about the little robot that blurs the lines between technology and humanity, serves as a messiah to robotkind, saves the world, etc etc.

    What I bet you didn't know is that a few years ago, a mangaka known as Naoki Urasawa took one of the arcs of Astro Boy and reinvented it as "Pluto", turning it into a suspenseful murder mystery.

    Who is this guy and why you should care?

    Naoki Urasawa is an extremely talented mangaka known for his deeply complex and very well written stories; a lot of people put his work "Monster" on a pretty high pedestal.

    What we end up with is basically Astro Boy for grown ups, and not in a ****** "add boobs and cuss words and gore" way.

    For more information:

    http://www.onemanga.com/Pluto/1/01/

    The manga's also been licensed and released in NA by Viz, if anyone is interested.

    Trust me, this manga isn't very long and it's very much worth reading, so at least give it a shot.

    An Ultimatum

    This is an interesting little thought experiment that I came across a while ago.

    Imagine the following scenario: a sizable group of people (let's say, 100,000), with representatives from just about every facet of society, is in immediate danger of coming to great harm, and most likely, death. You don't know any of these people at all, and as such are not attached to them whatsoever.

    You, due to whatever circumstances, are placed in a position where you can effectively save the lives of all these people. However, you find that there is a small but significant obstacle in your way: a misguided individual, who happens to be someone you know reasonably well and care for (a brother, a father, a mother, a longtime friend who's basically family, etc), who is, for whatever reason, preventing you from saving them.

    This scenario, give or take a few variations, is common enough in fiction; usually what happens is that, against all appearances and odds, the "hero" comes through and is able to avoid taking a life AND saves the people.

    However, let's assume that it's not like that here: you try everything possible given your means to save the people/dissuade the person trying to stop you, however it becomes clear to you that you only have two choices: kill the person, or let the people die (and for argument's sake, there is no alternative).

    What do you do?

    I'm not really a fan of online surveys, I generally don't find them to be credible.

    The one exception to this in the several years I've been dealing with them is The Political Compass Test, which I love because it takes all of your ideals into account rather than putting you somewhere on the meaningless bipolar scale that has come to define contemporary politics.

    http://www.politicalcompass.org/index < -- click it

    Post your results, discuss whether or not you got what you were expecting, etc. etc. The position of the dot on the horizontal scale represents where you stand on economics, the vertical position of your dot represents your stance on social issues.

    For refference, here you can see where some of the candidates for the 2008 US presidential elections stand on it:
