-Official Support- nVidia has no direct control over the Nouveau drivers. As such, they can make no guarantee to their customers that they will even work, regardless of the quality of work by the Nouveau developers. At best, they could say, "Oh you want to actually use our hardware? Well don't talk to us about it, talk to those guys who are under no obligation to actually make it work." And to a lot of businesses, a guarantee that something will work supersedes whether or not it actually does. Spending the extra cash on internally developed drivers to be able to make that claim actually does help them bring in revenue.
I went to school in Michigan from grades k-12. They could barely get millages passed for semi-odd proposals; there's no way this one's going to pass, especially if it's state wide. I can assume that the North (Let's say anything north of Bay City) will be against it. I can't make any assumption about the South.
Either way, I'm just imagining all the requests for new ipods because the kid dropped it in the Au Sable river while canoeing. Man does that suck when a canoe trip turns into an underwater scavenging hunt for car keys.
I've never noticed this until watching some current footage of the game. I couldn't even sit through the whole thing; something just looks wrong with a right-handed link.
I'm glad this was posted; I wanted to get the wii version (I dont have a cube) but I wouldn't be able to play five minutes of that. It's just too awkward.

But there would be a point:

Considering Linux PS3 is missing a 3D accelerated video driver. What are they coming out with next, an LCD without a backlight?
OH NOES, he made a few muslim jokes! /sarcasm>

People who can't handle jokes at their expense are the shining example of everything wrong with the world... that and Canadians.
(Quick thanks to all fellow Canadians who laughed at that and proved my point

Wait, so are you putting the ipod and gp2x in the same catagory? If that's the case, my HP zv5000 laptop schools the gp2x.
This should be a slashdot poll, and these could be the response:
No
No!!!
Hell No!!!
OH FUCK THAT!!!
Wait, that adware isn't suppose to be their?
The game should be based on part III so that way the fewest number of people will care about them ruining the movie.
