I don't see why anyone wants Cell, period. Compare the PS3 to my current T5550 Laptop - running Assassin's Creed on the PS3 using an old standard-def TV would give me framerate issues - sometimes the game ran too fast, other times there were framerate drops like mad. On the laptop, at max everything, no framerate issues, no speed-up, and it looked better. I still have the same issues with AC running in HD on the PS3 now that I've switched to a 32" LCD.
In fact, most of the games I've played both on PS3 and PC for comparison, the PC beat the console hands-down.
And like most any borrowed word, they'll add -su or -un to it., and while the JLPTs are usually held in Dec. you can take the pre-test classes. JLPT3 when dealing with Kanji is way horrible (I failed my first time and this second time) and in reality JLPT3 is higher level, it's just using simpler words in a more complex social situation in a more complex way. Think like Latin's declensions and genitives.
"Plus the Metroid Prime gameplay has now been through 3 iterations with almost no changes (or significant graphical uplifts) and is now feeling very, very dated."
Well, there's only so many ways you can render Samus and keep it faithful...
If you have access to the EAX controls in Vista x64 then you should be able to directly access the FX setup and use that natively. My only complaint is that I can't actually apply the effects while recording, they only affect live playback. I'd have to run a line out to another computer to record it as it's being processed.
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.
It's wrong?
You're going to fail your JPT2 if that's all you know about Japanese.
Off to go take my JPT3 (The worst part, actual written Japanese, which I will most likely fail)
Ahh, but NIGR (that's a BAD acronym right there,) has LAG, even with ASIO. My SBLive! does guitar FX in hardware without lag. I use the sound card particularly for its pitch-shifter, which beats out every dedicated guitar pedal I've ever owned or tried. For amp modeling, my Digitech comes with two outputs - straight to amp, and straight to mixer (Amp Emulated) and it does pretty well.
Basically, NIGR is too much money for software when I could pay the same for a piece of hardware to plug in and do it all natively.
MIDI does all you need - you just need GOOD SAMPLES. I've recorded my Jackson distorted and used sound forge to put loop tags in the right spot. I replayed a few songs using my electric guitar soundfont and it made worlds of difference.
Ever hear of design patents? All I need is a DETAILED DRAWING.
I highly suggest you re-read what patents one can obtain and what they entail, because you're obviously missing a lot of stuff. And as a patent holder, I can easily say you're DEAD WRONG - you do not need an actual product. You can atent a METHOD of making something - you don't need the actual end-product to obtain the patent on the manufacturing process of said product.
May I ask what a former mechanic would know about fluid dynamics or electrorheostatic properties of diesel fuel? That's an entirely different field of expertise from part-swapping.
You tell that to my Campagna T-Rex - there's no such thing as a tune up - you sir, know jack about cars - or at least the ones coming out THIS MILLENIUM. There's almost NO ELECTRONICS in it. That means you do pretty much everything (including tightening the drive chain) to keep the vehicle in proper working order (since the T-Rex is chain driven like a motorcycle.)
... but it won't be how the devs see it. MUGEN pretty much takes up my time when it comes to fighting games. Seriously, it's everything versus everything.
No, you do not. You can file against a company in any state or city as long as you're a citizen of the USA.
On top of that, guess where EA's HQ is located? California, where some of the toughest consumer protection laws exist. EA just got itself into a nice tangle, one they're not going to easily get out of, with the class-action suit. Let the class-action suit go thru and win, then have those who didn't do the class action suit file in a small claims court and then press for federal computer fraud charges (EA does not have the authority to usurp my Administrative privileges, which the included SecuROM DRM does.)
A class action is not the way to go - everyone filing against EA individually in small claims would SEVERELY damage them, as most small claims courts don't allow lawyers, which levels the playing field, and it also puts them at a severe manpower disadvantage - since most lawyers are disallowed the company's going to have a hard time representing itself in many of those court cases, which will end up default judgements and the plaintiffs will win simply because there's not enough manpower to handle every case in every state.

On a tripod, of course. No, not *THAT* kind of tripod!

Actually my first thought with a video camera was to record the girl next-door. Then to immediately record me killing a black widow with a stun gun.

Funny. Try to launch a plane, or a satellite, or set up a radio transmitter. See how quickly you get caged or shot.
Turn in your geek card and go away if you can't figure out what the poster was referring to.
actually, Japan has other standards, some going well over 1080p resolutions. It's no surprise they're upgrading network connections.

you forgot the downside of lossy conversion from one lossy format to another lossy format. Never again will I do a direct shift from WMA to MP3.
Except in California, where EULAs are on some very shaky legal ground.
It's problematic on Windows XP as well, and I doubt it'll work in Vista without some sort of modification to the code.
It's called an MXM slot, and HP laptops have had them for a couple years, now. Their business notebooks like the nx9420 had upgradable graphics cards.

And every other game company will sue his ass for any libel or slander he happens to spew, so even better!

Add federal hacking charges in as well - SecuROM usurps your Admin privileges and creates files and folders that you cannot delete even in super-root.
File your own individual suit - class actions are useless.
Specifically, file suit for SecuROM usurping your Administrator privileges - there's plenty of federal protection from that sort of behavior.
It's different because SecuROM installs shit on my computer THEN STRIPS AWAY MY ADMINISTRATOR PRIVILEGES WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.
We have laws concerning this very damned thing - it's about time they got enforced.
