Took Nintendo around three days to receive and reship my repaired Wii. The invoice inside the package said components had been repaired/replaced. However it did not fix the fact that all the third party games for the Wii suck really bad. So I traded it in and bought a PS3.

THIS IS HOW POLICE SHOULD HANDLE THINGS!
THESE ARE YOUR RIGHTS!
Q. Can my free speech rights be restricted because of what I want to say – even if it’s controversial?
A. No. The First Amendment prohibits restrictions based on the content of speech. However, this does not mean that the Constitution completely protects all types of free speech activity in every circumstance. Police and government officials are allowed to place certain non-discriminatory and narrowly drawn “time, place and manner” restrictions on the exercise of First Amendment rights.
Q. Where can I engage in free speech activity?
A. Generally, all types of expression are constitutionally protected in traditional “public forums” such as streets, sidewalks and parks. In addition, your speech activity may be permitted to take place at other public locations which the government has opened up to similar speech activities, such as the plazas in front of government buildings.
THIS IS HOW NEW YORK HANDLES YOUR RIGHTS.
This is sick..
The footage was shot at a free Tibet peaceful assembly in New York on the 14th of March.
The officers:
“Serano” – Badge #10894
“Delgado”, “Serano” have horribly assaulted peoples rights. This is disgusting.
“Serano” is caught threatening to kill two protesters as the cameraman passes. He later admits to the threat.
People are beat with batons for walking the streets.. Its nice to know that in America you will be beat and verbally assaulted for peacefully protesting.
Please blog and report this video. Use the officers name and badge number so that people know what these men are doing.
BTW please tell Raymond W. Kelly, with the NYPD’s Complaint form
The Onion’s latest video segment — a newscast from a future where humans are subservient to robots — is not only uproariously funny, it’s also a damned fine, top-notch piece of science fiction. More like this, please.
Michio investigates claims of time dilation under the influence of Adrenaline and other drugs.
Good old Albert said that time existed just like you and I. So what Michio is really looking at here is the mind not time. Our bodys cannot control time. Normally our brain cannot handle all that our eyes see, or keep track of time. So what these experiments are really testing is if drugs and biological chemicals such as adrenaline can induce a more focused brain, or hyper active brain state.
Fun video, enjoy!
While maybe not a long term solution, and might not end up being much better for our planet. Its a start.
“J.C. Bell, an agricultural researcher and CEO of Bell Bio-Energy, Inc., says he’s isolated and modified specific bacteria that will, on a very large scale, naturally change plant material – including the leftovers from food – into hydrocarbons to fuel cars and trucks.”

I have a strong feeling that the United States is currently intensively seeking new fuel resources. To publicize such information might cause our current oil suppliers to strike the price down dramatically and cause our attention to shift to other issues, only to reap the price back up. I would love to see such solutions like the one above to work, throw a name at me that can make this happen and I’ll vote.

DARPA and Boston Dynamics are developing a quadruped robot, named BigDog. This robot seems to almost perfectly simulate a quadruped animal. Its amazing to watch this robot simulate organic movement. BigDog can handle ice, climbing up, down hills, over rubble even counter trying to be kicked over. DARPA is developing this robot to act as a mule for troops who have to carry large amounts of equipment over long distances.
I bet the complexity and software in this bad dog is probably in the hundreds of thousands. I highly doubt DARPA wants this thing to carry ammunition. Also, if you fast forward to towards the end you can see that BigDog can almost gallop and jump obstacles in mid run. Attach a camera maybe even some weapons?
Another blogger pointed out a similar robot.. The AT-AT.
Oh were on to you DARPA, next were going to see lasers that can blow up planets.. DUN DUN DUN!

A vagabond is a (generally impoverished) itinerant person. Such people may be called tramps, rogues, or hobos. A vagabond is characterized by traveling, lacking a fixed home, abode, or residence. Vagabonds are not bums, as bums are not known for traveling.
I love to play with the ideal of being completely free, hence broke as well. Vagrant is another word for somebody that wanders!

I have setup this page to detail my journey on getting my new Nintendo Wii repaired. I just happen to be part of the “very small percentage” of wii consoles suffering from a hardware problem.
“The Game Disc could not be read. Please read the Wii operations Manual for more information.”
This relentless error message will occur randomly while playing the new Super Smash Bros. Brawl game from Nintendo. Nintendo of America has announced that those suffering from the problem, which is most likely due to a dirty lens inside the machine, will be able to send their consoles in to be cleaned, and has set up a web page detailing the specifics of the situation.
“Super Smash Bros. Brawl utilizes a double-layer disc which has a large memory capacity. A very small percentage of Wii consoles may have trouble consistently reading data off this large capacity disc if there is some contamination on the lens of the disc drive.”
I hope this article will help you get your Wii fixed and get it back in a speeder fashion! I will also be reporting the time and solution taken to repair my Wii.
Repair Instructions:
First report the problem with Nintendo and fill out this form Wii Repair Form
– I lacked a printer so i opted to have my shipping label, well shipped to me.
Received my UPS shipping label in exactly two days time.
With the label I received shipping instructions on how to ship my Wii back to be repaired. They will explain shipping container, drop off location etc..
” Because of the nature of this issue, you must send in your Wii Console in addition to your Super Smash Bros. Brawl disc. Please ensure the disc is NOT inside the system. Place your Super Smash Bros. Brawl disc in the game disc case it came in as this will protect the game during shipping.”
I was curious as to why Nintendo needs your Brawls disc?
I’ll update this page with info on how my repair went, currently have not shipped the Wii.
Well my Wii has been shipped
I got some bubble wrap from work, cause I went to Target and they wanted to charge me about four dollars down here in the south. Which I thought was pretty sad. I have been pondering the thought that if bubble wrap is such an expensive commodity that itself should be wrapped in bubble wrap to ensure that none of its bubbles are popped.
Anyway I called UPS to have them pick it up, and they were more than willing to do so. They even offered to have a local driving come that day to pick the box up. Nintendo had sent me a free of charge 2nd DAY AIR prepaid return label. So everything so far has been great service.

Some other readers feedback on the issue!
I sent mine in this weekend. It was just received today (Didn’t ship until Monday). I’m in New England, yet my Wii went to Redmond, WA. After doing a little research on the Nintendo site, I found out that there is a New York (as well as a California) repair location for the US. WTF? If it went to NY, I’d have it by tomorrow (Friday), instead I’ll be waiting for this “expedited” repair process. *NATCH*
