Random thought: It could have been the business phone of an escort. You wouldn't expect to find a home number. And a lot of times the contacts are used to store the phone numbers of creeps they don't want to hear from again, hence the expletives.

That sounds quite plausible. But I'm curious, how did you come about this information?

Yikes, they even admit it they are invested in both industries.
I guess all we have to do is prove they know it causes cancer and once the first victims come around they'll have a good lawsuit. Or I suppose an American regulator can put a stop to this (stop laughing). Isn't there some department in the USA that is supposed to investigate this kind of thing?

T-Mobile also operates a UMTS IV (AWS) aka wcdma2000 network. Here in Vancouver (and other parts of Canada), we have two carriers that use this network; WInd and Mobilicity. They also operate the only network that doesn't have what I call, "rape my asshole till it bleeds" data rates. On the GSM providers, $45/month minimum and you get 100MB of data : On the AWS guys, $35/month for unlimited talk/text/data from Mobilicity and $29 from Wind (though after 10GB with them your speed goes down to 256Kbit). On a related personal note, I just grabbed a wcdma Nexus One and this is really fucking annoying. I hate Canadian cell phone networks!

Disagree, I prefer the Wiimote to analog stick AND KB / mouse and all I had to do was "learn to close the drapes" when I play

The advantage of the Wiimote is that your targetting reticle isn't always dead center of the screen like it is with a mouse. However, in my opinion, that doesn't make up for the turning speed problem.

It seems that you've already turned down the dead zone, so that's a good start. Now jack up the sensitivity for the x axis (many games have this option, but as long as it's something to the effect of "turning speed") and you're gold!

It works fine if you set it up correctly:

1. Make sure you're not too far away, play with the distances.
2. If the sensor bar is above your tv or below, make sure the right option is set in the options menu of the Wii OS.
3. Make sure the sensor bar is dead centre.

Note that excessively bright lights can interfere, so try different things out that work for you. I had to move my couch closer to the TV as it's regular position wouldn't give me accuracy I desire.
