I see what you mean in that the same games as on the other 2 won't be released on the Wii because the hardware just can't handle it. This is fine.

However this really should not be a problem in itself for the Wii. In other industries suppliers usually adapt to the major market players even when they need to design more basic products. Take the Korean car manufacturers for example. We don't see them having shortages of features like gas tanks or cup holders because Toyota, Honda and Renault have higher quality requirements than they do. Why is this such an issue in the console market? Why can't the software designers make custom software for the Wii when they know they'd have a good chance of selling millions of copies?

Can't keep up in what respect? Graphical power? That's definitely not the main factor anymore in the success of games.

The Wii has been outpacing the competition in console sales, which should be enough for third party software makers. They're not in business to make the most powerful games, they're in this business to sell games and the Wii would allow them to do just that.

They also decided to support openSuse 10.3 for some reason. Opensuse 11.1 was released today, two releases and 14 months after 10.3.

Seems like Linux is on top of the list of priorities at Adobe!

Who's more likely not to respect the law? Drunken idiots or smart, innocent people?

This particular drunken idiot already was idiotic enough that he broke the current drunk-driving law. What makes you think he would have respected the alcohol prohibition law? We know how easy to find illegal drugs are now. Alcohol would be the same.

Perhaps you meant liberal?

You say that like the goal of government is to generate revenue. Of course they could nominally collect more in taxes with legalization, but the individuals in government would lose the considerable power and influence the prohibition gives them now.

Plus, as has been made very clear in the current financial crisis, taxation is no longer the preferred mode of generating revenue for the government. Inflation is far more controllable and subtle.

Ctrl+F works just fine, in addition to "." and "/".

Why create regulation at all in the first place? Because they can?

Lower air pollution? This thing runs on air! Imagine all this air released into the air. *Shivers*
