I'm having the same issues with update frequency. I'm getting data from midnight at my location. It's funny to see the moon on the globe where I am with a bunch of sunny days all around me.
Also, it seems that Nintendo doesn't want to patch systems without asking the users first. A good thing, if you ask me. Although, I don't see why it can't download the patch into memory and ask to install it the next time the system is turned on. On a side note, I actually didn't get the message from Nintendo until after I downloaded the update manually. Seemed a bit pointless by then.
SD can be used for game saves and downloaded Virtual Console games, along with doing things like transfering pictures to the Wii for use with its dashboard apps. It's not used as a RAM expansion or anything of that sort. I'm fairly sure that any standard SD card will work, although you should probably confirm that before you run with it.
(To GP: You're right, I worded that poorly.)
Anyway, I'm pretty sure that I saw that Canadian points will be $24 for a 2000 point card, or 1.2 cents per point.
Fractions of a penny aren't an issue, since I doubt you'll be able to buy a single point - the lowest denomination of cards that I've heard anything about is 2000. All of the Virtual Console game prices are multiples of 100. If you can buy points with a credit card directly through the console, I wouldn't be surprised if you have to buy them by the hundred.
If you sell the PS3 on eBay, it'll likely go to someone who'll be plenty willing to buy enough games to counteract whatever loss Sony takes on the console sale. Not gaining much there.
Part of the problem is that they need the original master tracks to be able to create the "keysounds" (the sounds played when you strum a note). These aren't always easily obtainable... especially at a reasonable cost. Instead, you just commission a cover group to create their own for much cheaper. (If I recall correctly, the covers on the GH games are by WaveGroup, who have also done songs for Karaoke Revolution and Beatmania.)
There's a component cable that was (for the most part) exclusively available online that plugs into that port. However, it's been discontinued and current GCN models don't even have a digital out port anymore.
I agree, Konami has fallen way behind and ITG is the premier game these days, but Konami has released SuperNova to Europe. Yes, it's already out. And yes, it really does have 300+ songs. (301 on the default songlist from what I hear.)
Most of them are probably completely unaware that Slashdot even exists, much less that this discussion is going on. They're doing a great job of complaining about the name without the outside influence. Just take a look at the Revolution/Wii board. And I don't think you have to worry about having the forums be affected by Slashdot linking to nintendo.com, either. The forums aren't hosted on a Nintendo server - they're hosted on servers run by Lithium Technologies.
The way I personally visualize this is that you could move the controller in a "scanning" motion across the field, and as you scan past a receiver, your target will "lock on" to that receiver. (This could be disabled for advanced players.) As long as you start your throwing motion while pointed somewhat near your target, it would recognize it as a throw to that player - which should make it easy enough for those without any football skill to play.

Don't worry, there's plenty of gaping holes in the kernel too.
No, because the Wii browser has no way to simulate keyboard presses.

A large chunk of the built-in memory appears to be firmware, as a fresh-out-of-the-box Wii only has about 2160 blocks available.
Game Gear was six. Utterly ridiculous for the battery life it got.
search.msn.com is giving me 806 results on a search for google and over 65 million on a search for google -asdfghjkl.
Because it's a sex offense for a 21 year old man to marry a 19 year old woman. Obviously.
I'm pretty sure that NBA Live 2007 has been completely scrapped for the PS3.
Erm. I think it's spelled correctly.
Your username really does say it all, doesn't it.

Enough said.

In the US, 1 point = 1 cent. Price necessarily varies in other regions due to currency differences.

I hope your sentence fragment was intentional.

Technically, a 666 degree angle would be a reflex angle, not an obtuse angle... But that just kills the pun, doesn't it.
At least "wonderful" (and "fantastic") are being used in an obviously sarcastic context.
From the article: "7 July 2006"
Yup... way to stay on top of things.

well... I'm not sure what to say here, other than that it's not a very obscure word.
Maybe that thesaurus would help here.
