I'd shoot the people. Each one of them you take down - and I bet they're easier to take down than a robot pony - is 200 lbs more the squad has to carry, reduces the carrying capacity by 100 lbs, reduces their firepower, costs the enemy more money and personnel, and damages morale a hell of a lot more than the loss of a robot.

The UK government really does now own several banks.

> No, the stock price is relatively high because a relatively large number of shares have been purchased recently. Stock price has nothing to do with the company's profitability.

The high demand for Apple's shares has absolutely nothing to do with their staggering profitability. Not at all. Totally unrelated. People would be willing to pay just as much for Apple shares if they were losing $13bn a quarter rather than making $13bn.

The cost of the people who built the factory, made the parts, mined the raw materials, drove the trucks... There is a hell of lot of labour that happens before you get to the person who clips the screen into the case.

Yes trolling, yes FUD, no it did not happen. There was a distorted image, but the judgement was not made based on that image. You are factually incorrect and none of those links support your claim.

I hope you're spoofing your MAC address. Not that it's very likely random open networks will keep the log for very long, if at all, but if you really care you'd want to be sure.

I'm evidently cleverer than you if you think the Wii could be, let alone is, capable of light-gun-like pointing without any real calibration (top or bottom is not enough) and without knowing the size of the TV.

I've tried all sorts of things. It just doesn't offer a light-gun-style aim-down-sights 1:1 mapping - which it could, approximately, with a little calibration. I know where something I am holding is actually pointing, so the Wii is horrible to use for FPS because it doesn't work the way you expect. Physically it appears to work one way - as a direct pointing device - but actually it's more like a mouse. A dirty, low DPI ball mouse. There is no calibration beyond saying it's above of below the TV. You can't even tell it how big your TV is so it just doesn't have enough information to know where on the screen the Wiimote is actually pointing.

The PS3 does 3D already.

The Wii would be good for FPS if the fucking cursor actually pointed where the Wiimote is pointing and it had sufficient precision. Alas, neither of those things are true. It's just a big, clumsy, imprecise floating mouse. For FPS it's worse than an analogue stick, let alone a mouse.
