Miller asked Google... to disclose if Google was contacted by the city, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S. Geological Survey or any other government entity about changing the imagery.
FEMA certainly has nothing to gain from the post-Katrina imagery being visible, so if they 'asked' Google to change things, maybe that should receive public scrutiny.
The winter shopping season starts earlier in the US (Black Friday) than in Japan (where Xmas isn't a holiday per se, you tend to get a big chunk of New Year's off, and the kids get gifts/money on New Year's Day.) That's why you'd launch the Wii in the US before Japan.
If Nintendo sold all the consoles they could, they could take over the #1 installed base crown from the Xbox 360, which would force developers to support the Wii, which would lead to future profitability, both from increased console sales (since they'd be the most desirable console due to all the games) and licensing revenue (since Nintendo gets a cut of all the game sales for their console). In this case, short-term sales lead to long-term sales, making it stupid to hold back stock.
The key thing here is Judicial Estoppel. Anything Viacom says in court in their case against YouTube, they cannot contradict when they are the defendant in someone else's suit against Ifilm.
My point (especially with the latter case) was that as a company, Nintendo needs to avoid the appearance of making children vulnerable to online predators, or for that matter any content a parent might find objectionable. If your kid hears his friend swear online, that's the friend's fault, but if the kid hears a stranger swear online, that's Nintendo's fault. Also, creating games where it's expected that you talk to strangers defeats the otherwise good advice, "Don't talk to strangers," and also, "Don't talk to strange people on the phone." Of course the child isn't going to volunteer their address at first, but isn't the whole trick with online predators that they gradually build trust?
I doubt they'd get away with Wii Sports Online if it was just the same 5 sports. Now, if it had 5 new sports (Curling!), plus online-enabled versions of the original 5, that wouldn't upset people too much.
That's because you're not at risk of being the victim of a sexual predator, or at risk of being sued by the parent of a child who was the victim of a sexual predator.
I don't see how there's a way to add someone to your friends list without some kind of unique identifier. There can only be one bob, at which point every other bob ever is disappointed by being stuck with a name like bob19942. I say keep the friend code as the unique ID and call your friends by the name you want to use, which is the way it currently works.
GameSpy provides the network for the DS online games, which have friend codes a-plenty. I don't mind having one system-wide friend code, since if I want to play with someone I probably have a way of contacting them outside of the Wii. It's per-game friend codes that are a nuisance.
A used 767-200 outfitted to suit costs about half as much as a new Gulfstream G550, and in the 50 seat swank config is more fuel efficient per passenger mile.
Miyamoto was prevented from making forward looking statements because Nintendo recently asked the Japanese government to sell their Nintendo holdings on the open market, requiring a quiet period similar to those around other stock offerings.
The touch screen would be great for controlling a game like this, and the DS's limited 3D capabilities would be plenty for showing 3D aircraft fuselages in flight. (Or hand painting your aircraft livery!) Of course, it would need to be several orders of magnitude more complicated than the SNES one to stand up nowadays. (ie. way more airports, aircraft types, seating config/quality customization, fare customization)

Kyle: Yes, yes I am.
Stan: Yeah, at least one fourth.
Kyle: Let's do a test sample. There are four of us here, and you're a retard. That's one fourth.

Barrator?
The term you're looking for is Barratry.
As long as it doesn't last as long as a real test match. Three days isn't what I call 'pick up and play gaming'.
Seems like a Bluetooth headset would be the obvious choice, since the Wiimote is already a bluetooth device.

That's silly--if you already have Bob in your system's address book, why would you have to enter him in a specific game?

The problem with that is that Zipf's law applies to nicknames--in other words, the majority of people will want names that are taken.

A better question is why does ./'s CSS make I tags display:block? Why not just use blockquote?

Considering how litigation-happy that particular church is, you might have considered posting that anonymously.
