The biggest reason people are so paranoid about using the internet is because Internet Explorer accepts Browser Helper Objects and ActiveX controls that can manipulate Windows using code from the MFC/Win32 API. As for other browsers that dont have BHO and ActiveX, plug ins for it does not grant the browser the power to manipulate an operating system. I do not think Opera could mess with the integrity of the Wii dashboard so I think its safe. At worst, a bad plug in for the browser could freeze the system, but after you restart, you should have all your data intact.
I tell everyone to just be smart and do not accept any controls that are not digitally signed. Besure to set your browser to warn you each time and do not automatically accept plugins.
Is Super Paper Mario for the Gamecube or is it for the Wii? Im getting confused now, when I placed my reservation at GameXCrazy back in August 2006 (been looking forward to it for a while), it was for Gamecube. Will it be like Twilight Princess where versions are availible for both systems? Based on the screenshots and videos I saw, I think the game is better off on a gamecube controller or a Wii Classic Controller.
I am using 1080p resolution if the movie or game supports it, but if I had a choice between 720p and 1080i, I would go with 720p since I feel football feels better to my eyes on FOX (720p) than on CBS (1080i).
I only used 10GB for the OS which is plenty for applications that I may use. I attached my external hard disk that is under NTFS format and the OS picked it up. My suggestion is that you could also setup up a Network File Share (NFS) or Samba (SMB) to access files off of other systems that have space. Then again, I was thinking about removing linux since I do not think its any better running it off the PS3 than a convential desktop PC.
If I cannot export my VC to the next Nintendo system (if there will be one), I see myself holding the Wii for a long time. As for the NES, mine is still in working condition; Inserting the cartridge all the time does seperate the pins from reading the cartridge properly as Jayson mentioned, realigning the pins (you may have to open up the system) should fix your problems.
