Yes, sincere so that they could flood the "market" with fake files, among other things.
I got the impression they'd be selling it as a more controlled form of P2P, that would have copyright filters and such in place to prevent the need for those kind of tactics. Whether they could actually provide that is another question entirely, of course.
In any case, would you trust any sort of service coming from these jackals?
Probably not. But it wouldn't be because of those mails. The mails made it seem a lot less malicious than what my first impression of it was.
Go download the torrent and read them all yourself.
See, that's exactly what I did, and what I saw in there was nothing about any entrapment. Every mail about Miivi made it sound like they were sincere about making a real, workable P2P system.
Once again, if you want to claim otherwise, post some proof of that. If you don't want to post the mail itself, just post enough headers to find it.
Actually, from actually reading those leaked emails, it seemed they were completely sincere about launching Miivi as a P2P service. There was a single instance where somebody suggested bundling their attack software with it, which was promptly shot down.
Of course, that doesn't sound as exciting to the blogosphere, so people just made stuff up instead.
Christ, none of that has anything at all to do with the argument. The argument was that you said this:
We -> (wa)(i[small])(-) -> Wii
Now since you seem to think you were still right about that, let's see a single link to a page that contains "(wa)(i[small])(-)" in reference to the Wii.
Because the original poster, who you were trying to "correct", was using waapuro, in which the Japanese spelling of "Wii" is correctly romanized "uii"!
Do you even have any idea what we are talking about any longer?
I'm going to take a guess that you were typing "Uii" on the keyboard and getting (u)([small]i)(i) to come out.
I did not, and I have no idea why you would assume that, other than perhaps that you are trying to think up ways that I am stupid. I'd appreciate it if you would stop that, and actually make the effort to consider that I know what I am talking about.
Your google links lead to (u)([small]i)(-), not "ui-" which goes directly against your point. The i is small.
If you would scroll up and read my original post, you would see that I specifically said "(u)(small i)(-)". Once again, please make the effort to actually listen to what I am saying. Go back and re-read what I said, and try replying to that, instead.
Also, it'd be polite of you if you were to admit that "Wii" is not written "(wa)(i[small])(-)", as you claimed in this post.
Look, to start off, how about you drop the "I'm smarter than everyone else and can dismiss everything they say without considering it" attitude? It's really not doing you any favours. Other people than you know stuff too, you know.
Are you talking about romanization or typing?
I am talking about romanization, which is why I said "romanization". Specifically, waapuro romanization. You can find an article about that on Wikipedia, too. Go read it.
Just because people write 1337 on the internet doesn't mean that is how it's spelled.
You know, there are many romanization systems for Japanese. None of them are the "right" one. Just because someone is using a different system does not mean they are wrong, either. You'd do well to actually learn more about how people really write japanese in real life, as it'd prevent you from getting into stupid arguments like this one.
If you don't under stand why when romanized uii is three sylable's instead of two, the conversation ends here.
Do you even know what waapuro romanization is? Yes, I know it's three syllables in Hepburn, but once again, nobody uses Hepburn on the internet.
You haven't studied Japanese and we are talking on two totally different levels. Learn about syllables. I've been doing this stuff for 7 years.
That's nice, but you were still completely wrong about the romanization. Quibbling about the number of syllables is pretty silly when you mixed up "wa" and "u".
Notice how I wrote absolutely nothing about the "S"
You wrote about "DS". Stop trying to backpedal and just admit you messed up.
The point is, no, it would not, not to the degree you are thinking of. Look, we do know what a galaxy is! We know there's a lot of mass in there! And it's easy to calculate the time dilation it causes, and it is negligable.
No. The gravitational forces required for time dilation to be that strong are many orders of magnitude stronger than what you'll find on the galactic scale.

HD Wii By 2011?

Uhm. I hate to tell you this, but pretty much everything you just said is just plain wrong.
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii lists the pronounciation as "(u)(small i)(-)", which would be romanized as "uii" in the informal waapuro romanization popular on the net (nobody uses Hepburn, because nobody knows how to type macrons).
"(wa)(small i)(-)" is not a letter combination that is ever used except by people trying to be cute when spelling "wai".
I don't even know what you mean by "DS can be pronounced correctly in Japanese.". It's prounced "(de)(small i)(-)(e)(su)", which certainly doesn't match the English pronounciation perfectly by any means.

All right, so dig out one of those supposedly incriminating mails and show us!

This has nothing to do with what I typed. That is simply not what this discussion is about!
The point was that you claimed it's spelled with a "wa", and for some reason you refuse to back off this claim.
Let's see that link that supports what you said, then.
(PS: "I know you are but what am I" is a debate tactic kids use in kindergarten, not one for adults.)
Was it that hard to click the goddamn link I already gave you?
It's becoming pretty obvious that you are not interested at all in having an honest discussion, though.
Christ, none of that has anything at all to do with the argument. The argument was that you said this:
We -> (wa)(i[small])(-) -> Wii
Now since you seem to think you were still right about that, let's see a single link to a page that contains "(wa)(i[small])(-)" in reference to the Wii.
HOW does a Google search for "(u)(small i)(-)" that gets Nintendo's Wii site as a first hit prove that it is actually written with a "wa"?
No, "uii" and "wii" are BOTH valid informal waapuro romanizations of that word.
Please, please, please actually read my posts! I provided Google links that clearly showed that "wa" is wrong.
He said Wii is uii in romanji which really isn't write on many levels.
He never said the word "romanji".
From my side, it is still "wii" in waapuro, too.
Sure. Unusual waapuro, but it is. What's the relevance?
You're posts weren't any real help either.
Well, they won't be much help if you don't actually read them!
Because the original poster, who you were trying to "correct", was using waapuro, in which the Japanese spelling of "Wii" is correctly romanized "uii"!

I'm pretty sure he got it from "Apple is facing a mass exodus of phone developers" and "The cellphone industry is rapidly moving to Android".
I can't really answer any questions about your computer. All I is that the entire world writes "Wii" as "ui-".

PS1 was only 32-bit but still trumped the faster N64.
"32-bit" is a completely meaningless term in this context, just so you know.
