Firefox's roots go back a while (2 years?) before that roadmap was written. The original goal was to make a minimal browser, however, people soon realized that Mozilla never really was bloated. Stripping out the "bloat" from Mozilla ended up with a negligible amount of speed & memory improvements. Then parts of the UI code were rewritten to provide features that people always wanted in Mozilla (such as customizable toolbars). In the end, Firefox ended up being a little slower and a little more memory hungry than Mozilla. Hence they made up the "right set of features" line.
Sony fucked me on the th-55 first. I died. I sent it in for repairs the fuckers at the repair shop fuck it up.
I understand that you're upset that Sony fucked up the repairs when you died, but I think the rest of us are far more interested in who ended up repairing you successfully.
Log in to my.nintendo.com and the FAQ is near the top of the page. It basically just says you can't transfer the games to someone else, and that it only tracks games purchased after the association.
It must've been in the Wii Shop account creation that the info was, but I very specifically remember reading this, and I didn't go looking for it on my own. My understanding though was that deleting your Wii Shop account permanently closed it, however, if you went to another Wii and registered your my.nintendo.com account there first, you would move the account. I remember it specifically said that if you did the transfer, the games would stop working on the old console, which would imply you were supposed to do the transfer first.
Did so after exchange, no luck. Nintendo explicitly said the games are non transferable between machines. The manual does not provide instructions for this. It is explicitly not possible and the my.nintendo.com account is more for advertising.
The problem is you tried to do it after the fact. The my.nintendo.com FAQ specifically says that games you purchase before associating your shop channel account with your my.nintendo.com account don't get registered.
If it wasn't in the manual, it was in the user agreement when you create the Wii shop channel account. They were very specific that that was the reason for associating it.
Create a my.nintendo.com account and tie it to your Wii. If you get a new Wii, you change the association on your my.nintendo.com account and the games will stop working on the old system and be available on the new one.
I don't remember the specifics of how to do it, but I believe it was all mentioned in the Wii manual. If not there, then at my.nintendo.com.
Diddy's jump and his roll both went further than Donkey did. In the DKC games, if you did a roll off the edge of a platform, you could do a jump while in mid-air. If you did that as Diddy, you went a lot further than as Donkey.
Donkey carried barrels over his head, while Diddy carried them in front of him. I'm not sure, but I think Donkey moved a little better while carrying a barrel.
The differences were enough that the harder to get secret areas were significantly easier if you picked the right character.
Oh, the other difference was with large enemies. Only Donkey could hurt the bigger enemies - Diddy just bounced off.
In Banjo Kazooie, Banjo was a bear and Kazooie was a bird sitting in his backpack. While technically they were two characters, you couldn't separate them, so it was basically just one character with a lot of abilities.
Amazon also has a habit of screwing up their warehouse deliveries and sending out your game late. For example, they got Metroid Prime 3 out about a week late.
Radio edits are only done for the singles, which is at most 3 or 4 songs off the CD. Obviously the first single is known before release, but often the follow up singles aren't chosen until later on.
Things were a little different back then. Stamping a DVD is much cheaper than burning ROMs. Nintendo doesn't produce the games for you like they used to, so even if they wanted to censor things they would have a harder time today since they aren't the gatekeeper.
Nintendo still does the game production. Nintendo will never release a system where they don't, as that's where their money and power comes from.
Seriously, the big difference between consoles and PCs is the number of people who can play on a given system, the ease of setup, and the types of games.
The big difference is console hardware is a fixed platform with VERY strict quality control on the software, whereas the PC is a complete free for all. On a console, you don't have to worry if the game will work or not. On a PC, you're almost guaranteed to have driver issues or some other incompatibility at some point.
Banjo Kazooie had a glaring flaw where you had to collect all 100 notes in a level on one life. Towards the later part of the game, that just sucked all the fun out of it, as you could waste an hour collecting notes, slip somewhere, and have to do it all again. Fix that, and it's a great game. But as is, it's extremely frustrating.
Majora's Mask was much better than Ocarina of Time though. Ocarina was way too linear.
The few times I've had to deal with Maxtor's warranty service, everything went incredibly quickly (I believe I had the replacement within a week of noticing the disk failure). They sent back a replacement drive of the exact same model, which was convenient considering the drives were being used in a RAID array.
As for warranty, all hard disk manufacturers go by the manufacture date. But they also pad it by 6 months or so - or at least Maxtor does. You can enter the serial number on Maxtor's website and check the time remaining. It's usually been a few months more than the warranty period listed on the box.
Not sure what you mean. Only things beyond the enumerated powers require amendment, and the government didn't decide it wanted to vastly exceed these until FDR. Yes, adhering to the Constitution would have significantly slowed down FDR and his successors. That was supposed to be the point of the Constitution.
It's just that you've personally decided that FDR is a sticking point for you.
I think that if you interpret the Constitution as strictly as you seem to want to, then almost everything done by Congress in the past hundred years or so are unconstitutional. Probably further back than that even.
You've got a general list of powers and some specific stuff spelled out that's based on a society where travel is done by horse or boat, travel to another state is an uncommon occurrence, letters carried by horse are state of the art communication, and motors aren't invented yet. Amendments would need to be a very common thing to keep up.
Check the Caldera vs Microsoft antitrust case. Caldera was claiming that MS-DOS 7 and Windows 95 were really separate products, combined only to get around the legal restrictions placed on Microsoft bundling DOS and Windows together.
Caldera Win95 and/or DR-DOS so that Win95 would think that DR-DOS was MS-DOS 7 (the version included with Win95). They added in code to log calls to DOS functionality and found that Win95 was making calls to DOS far more often than even they expected.
The last Smash Bros game was near impossible to find if you didn't pre-order it. I waited a little bit to get it and had to check about 10 stores to find a copy.
Remember, Manufacturing DVDs still takes time. Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft manufacture ALL the games made for their systems. There's a huge demand to get games manufactured at Christmas. They're not going to make more copies of a game than they think they can sell as it would take away from their ability to manufacture 3rd party games. Remember, a first party game makes Nintendo money when it's sold, but a 3rd party game makes them money when it's manufactured.
Given this, it would complete undermine the purpose of enumerated powers if they had made one of them "to provide for the general welfare." That could include ANYTHING. And they didn't.
But it doesn't include ANYTHING, as the rest of the Constitution narrows things down rather substantially.
If you interpret it as strictly as you want to, anything beyond life as usual in the 1700's would require an amendment, which would just slow down the government over time until it came to a complete halt. I can't see that being the intention.
If I read it from an extremely pedantic stance, I can see how you can come to that conclusion, but it's an awkward way of getting there.
To me, it's always meant that "to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States" is the end goal, with the power to collect taxes being the means of getting there. Your view is more that collecting taxes is the goal, then giving a justification for it, which just seems to be the wrong way of looking at things.
And again, looking at it your way, I can see that you'd conclude that the list given is an absolute, whereas if you look at it the other way, the list just seems to be things felt to be particularly important.
NO, that's a lie. I gave my reasons already, you just seemed to have decided you wanted to forget them, because you can't refute them.
I'm sorry, you did give reasons. First you claimed I was talking about the preamble, at which point I corrected you. Since then, you've repeatedly said that I have no comprehension skills, yet have refused to give an alternate meaning. If you don't give an alternate meaning, there's nothing for me to refute.
Like I said, your reading comprehension apparently sucks. Get that handled before you start lying about what people are saying again.
I've given reason to show that your reading comprehension sucks, to which you keep saying "No, your comprehension sucks." It's like arguing with Pee Wee Herman...
You must be speaking a different language than the rest of us.
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"
Let's simplify that. Congress has power to collect money to pay debt and provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States.
Are you trying to suggest that the "general welfare of the United States" is referring to the land itself? Or that the government is supposed to be concerned with itself rather than the people?
All you're doing here is saying "You're wrong!" over and over without giving any reason why, despite you being presented with very clear English taken directly from the Constitution that says otherwise.
If you're going to suggest that Congress having the ability to collect taxes to provide for the welfare of the United States doesn't mean they can create social programs, at least give some support.
Most people would consider "That line of the Constitution should be ignored because I don't like it" to mean you're an idiot, not that you're right, but you can go ahead thinking how you like while the rest of the country ignores you.

Remember, digital does not imply HD. You can transmit HD over analogue and SD over digital.

How can you say that a hard disk with 3 platters or 820 cylinders is "in base 2 natively"?
Those 820 cylinders are made up of 512 byte sectors, which are the addressable units of the disk.
The few times I've had to deal with Maxtor's warranty service, everything went incredibly quickly (I believe I had the replacement within a week of noticing the disk failure). They sent back a replacement drive of the exact same model, which was convenient considering the drives were being used in a RAID array.

Bush certainly can provide a wiretapping program using that, however, the 4th amendment restricts the ability to actually use it pretty heavily.
Again, Article 1, Section 8. Gives Congress the power to collect taxes to provide for the general welfare of the United States.
I'm talking about Article 1, Section 8. Try reading the actual constitution.
