They didn't even need to buy On2 to get VP9. They could have used one of the open-source codecs that already exists. You know, like Vorbis, which is perfectly fine for most videos and not as resource-hungry.
You pronounce someone's name how they want it pronounced, assuming they don't have some strange sound that you can't reproduce, then you just try your best.
Tell that to every English and French speaker pronouncing a foreign name. They don't even try.
Gun ban legislation will only do one thing: spark civil war. The 'Joe Sixpacks' with their blue tick hounds are plenty pissed about the Patriot Act, NDAA, and all that other crap. Don't let the stupid media stereotypes fool you! They like the first amendment too. A gun ban will push them over the edge (last box). It will not work. Simply because a lot of people will not let it work. Good for them, I say.
All the more reason to introduce gun ban legislation, then. It would mean that people would finally get off their lazy ass and do something instead of complaining.
YOU are the only person who has said this or claimed that anyone else has said it. Everyone else is saying that they want parents to be more involved in their children's education because it's the largest single determining factor in the child's success.
Actually, the post did say this:
The parents of children in the top tier school are more involved, but only as a hindrance to the teachers' job( threatening lawsuits or to call politicians to have a teacher fire because their little Johnny sparkle shit has discipline problems).
Of course, Karmashock took it the wrong way. It's good to have parents involved, but not in a "DON'T TOUCH MY SNOWFLAKE OR I SUE/FIRE YOUR ASS".
But then we would have people whining that it's running 720p Wii games on a console that is designed around 1080p... Not to mention that today's TVs are all built around 1080p and 2160p and the picture would be scaled to hell with disastrous results.
If the Wii U had a motion control system consumers considered to be an improvement over the Wii, I suspect that Wii U would be at least outselling the Wii.
The Wii already had that, and it was called the MotionPlus. It didn't work out too well because by that time most third-party developers had jumped ship. Given that, I don't think a Wii 2 would have worked out much better.
Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga --- I really like RPGs, and there's not much to choose from for the Wii....
You enjoyed that? I've heard nothing but bad things about it.
I think the Wii has a solid selection of RPGs. This generation hasn't been too kind to the genre on home consoles in the first place. Xenoblade Chronicles makes up for it, easily.
Have you tried Arc Rise Fantasia?
How about Dragon Quest Swords? You could justify that one as a workout regimen.
Lots of people forget about Opoona. I haven't played it yet, but supposedly it's very charming.
Tried Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World? Lots of people turn up their nose at it, but I liked it a lot, especially the characters. It also helped that its narrative was far better structured than its prequel.
Not really an RPG, but try Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon. It's an accessible rogue-like that's lots of fun.

Ah, yes, I meant Theora. Vorbis is the audio codec.

I find the abbreviation, MARTA, cute. Reminds me of a certain video game character.
You're doing it wrong.

Good luck with the HTTP part if you use Server-Side Includes (SSI)... :(
Not a gun nut here, but I believe "minimal" means "as little as possible", which could be anywhere from zero to some percentage above it.

Please, don't abuse the apostrophe. :(
I was going to ask the same question. What's more, to Belgians it's insulting to be associated with The Netherlands.

I far prefer a Wii Remote and Nunchuck combo for an FPS. It's 1:1 input and gives me analogue movement.
I used to think this, but it's not because of things like rounding errors.
A lossless JPEG format specification exists, but never gained widespread adoption.

Windows 95, completely insecure? As a business workstation, sure, but as a home OS?
America is sitting on tons of debt and Britain isn't doing all that hot either. Europe isn't worse off at all.
Someone didn't study their history. It's because banks keep printing money that we get economic crises.
True. That's what I meant, actually.
By the way, please don't abuse the apostrophe. :(
Why is that? You said you enjoy RPGs, and the ones you listed don't use either of them. I don't understand.

Nit-pick: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening was a Game Boy game (that got re-released as a DX edition on Game Boy Color years later).
The Wii already had that, and it was called the MotionPlus. It didn't work out too well because by that time most third-party developers had jumped ship. Given that, I don't think a Wii 2 would have worked out much better.
The Wii and the Wii U don't use emulators for backwards compatibility. The hardware supports the games natively.
