Talks about and swears by the constitution. Thinks that free markets and true freedom will lead to prosperity. So do I, and lots and lots of other people.
Fuck Romney, McCain, Huckabee. More government is bad, mmkay? Can't you see this...?
Ron Paul is who I'm voting for, and you should be ashamed of yourself for excluding his name. You're as bad as Fox News and CNN.
Die in a fire.
Well, being absolutely, 100% honest, it's also not fair to expect ME, as the CUSTOMER to simply do nothing (or buy another Wii here in the USA) because Nintendo made a poor marketing decision when they decided to region lock their console.
You said it. I had a Wiikey installed into my Wii about a month ago, and now I can buy games again!
I bought my Wii in Japan with 5 games, 2 Wiimotes/Nunchucks/Classic Controllers, and probably a dozen games on Virtual Console.
And now that I changed jobs, I'm back in the USA (now with my chipped Wii), and I've bought 3 new games here. Total loss to Nintendo: -$150? That's right. Because of the Wiikey, I was able to give Nintendo $150 more in sales.
Seems like someone at Nintendo is missing something to me...
I just recently moved over 20,000 files from one drive to another, both drives are SATA drives (using Vista Enterprise, Japanese version) and I didn't have a problem...I assume that this bug was found on English Vista.....anyone else using another region's Vista have this problem?
The "motivation" for mod chips kind of depends on the person, wouldn't you say?
I bought a Nintendo Wii on launch day when I was living in Japan, and bought 4 or 5 games for it while I was living there. I just returned to the USA about a week ago, and now I want to buy more games, but I can't, thanks to region locking. The only options I have are 1.) Buy another Wii (not really an option, as I've sunk money into the Virtual Console games), or 2.) Install a modchip. The games I want to play on my Wii are indeed published by an official publisher, just from a different region.
Does this mean I should be raided / arrested / tried in court?
I realize that a lot of people who use modchips are only out to copy everything in sight, but hasn't this kind of thing been covered in the past (Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc.)?

Bogus question indeed, sirs.
