You have the correct answer. I'm explaining why that is before it is asked why. I tend to find the people who aren't listening or don't care by doing this.
Try doing all those things on a Mac. You get a similar experience I bet. It's called software incompatibility. There has to be an explanation that using foreign software from other OSes are unsupported and can not work or will take a lot of work to work.
Yes it's a computer but that doesn't mean it can run Windows software.
Try putting Toyota engine in a Ford car, chances are it won't work. Same reasons, not compatible.
Someone needs to explain this to people installing and buying computers with Linux.
Mechanic: "Well the battery wire came loose." (or something simple like that.)
Do you expect all consumers to know computers as well as we do? Because if I was as good with cars as I am with computers I'd save a load on car repairs.
Does a Mac play Bioshock? You need the Mac specific version, if one exists at all. Or you can run Wine in the Mac, and you aren't supported or have your hand held.
You can either hope a Linux version exists (there are commercial Linux games, see Penumbra, World of Goo, etc.) which it usually doesn't or emulate the API or a VM, which could not work. Just like on the Mac.
The correct answer is "No, but you can try using other software on it and maybe it can work."
Yes. Cell phones already have that functionality, whereby the initiating talks to the other expecting the other line to listen. You can easily skip the making the call part by leaving only voice messages.
Yes, the user is wary of everything that is going on when they install something and browse the web. This is why antivirus software profits are dying, because the user wised up for once.
Nintendo products are quite rugged in general. The only hardware issues that people have sited a lot are the DS lite hinge cracking (which is only cosmetic) and the Wiimote strap.
Googling turns a number between less than 1% to 2.7%.
Actually the code is serious and it does work. And no it won't clear the cache. It just won't use any cached items from February 19th, 2003 or before which is effectively forcing it to redownload everything.
I seriously wish they would implement this already, even if it is only a configuration thing you can enable like you can to always use HQ when available.

I.E, YOU.
Sure, just purchase the Linux version of AutoCad.
Oh it doesn't exist? Not even for a Mac? I wonder why that is... hmmm...

Car analogy time:

Because it should be much cheaper, like a lot of their hardware?

Ever heard the saying too many chiefs and not enough indians...?
Yeah, that's what you'd be. An indian trying to be a chief. And chances are you are gonna get fired a lot.
Have fun :)

I call it Instant Voice Messaging or IVM*.

UK already did that.

Why don't they try to sue bittorrent too? Or mirroring websites. Or Google for having a hundreds of servers to share the load of loading a website.
Too broad a patent.
I already claimed a 1 to infinite recursion of the patent patenting patenting .... patent.
Sorry buddy.
(Oh, I also claimed the infinity + 1 recursive patent)
((I also claimed the grammar nazi patent. "a 1" is correct because you don't use "an won", for won is a homophone to one))

Install the Compiz effects thing and mess with that plug-in highlighted.
