I “borrowed” the javascript file for the snow on the TeenSpot.com message boards.
But for some reason it only renders correctly in Internet Explorer.
Oh well.
Correction: even in IE(and Wii’s Opera client) it only renders off to the side of the main text section.
Morons need to quit editing the wikipedia article on TeenSpot with forum vanity and insignificant content.
Things such as post count are not significant to be mentioned on Wikipedia unless it has caused some sort of significant occurrence, such as a site controversy if a policy change occurred or some sort of legal action.
A number is insignificant beyond the forum itself.
I will leave the dumbass doing this nameless as to preserve their pride.
I think the problem is that people do not understand Wikipedia’s concepts such as this one.
The Nintendo Wii is definitely a neat device. It’s sort of gimmicky, kind of like a lot of the unsuccessful in the past.
The Internet Channel is… okay. It reminds me of WebTV/MSNTV, that were mediocre and not worth using.

BBC to release shows in high quality on Zudeo, Azureus’ video sharing site.
Unfortunately, they’re still going to be selling them, while still providing them for for viewing for free on their respective bbc web pages(but only for UK citizens).
This might make piracy easier; one person buys it then shares it. No encoding from TV, and no having to wait for DVD release for high quality. High quality for a simple purchase by one person online, then seeded over ThePirateBay or any other piracy torrent site.

To so many people, their computer and technological affiliations are becoming a way of life, a basis for their identity. Mac vs. PC vs. *nix/*BSD, Internet Explorer vs. Firefox vs. Opera.
It’s not about the quality of the technology, it’s about making oneself feel superior through the competition of technology. We, as individuals, don’t even have a real stake in the battle, but because of our use and affiliation with it we end up feeling compelled to defend it as to justify our own past decisions.
If you’re a ___-fanboy and identified, in one way or another, as such then it means you consider the well-being of whatever ___ as important to your own well-being and sense of worth. To defend your viewpoint, then, much to the annoyance of other people who don’t want to hear about how ___ is so great a thousand times, is for the sake of your own self-esteem.
But seriously, stop, because I’m not putting your self-esteem over my own sanity.
