Is it really so difficult to remove the sleeve, Chad?

Is it really so necessary to keep on there?  It adds nothing.

I took ours off when I got a rechargeable station and haven't touched them sense.  Except to move them from shelf to shelf....

We had a Wiimote incident early on where one of my children let the Wiimote fly while playing baseball.   It had the sleeve on and it hit the wall.   With the velocity it hit, I can't imagine the sleeve would have helped had it hit the TV.

We ditched ours when we got the charger too.

I think it's more comfy with it, so I use it. I think it's especially better feeling when playing sideways (NSMB style).

I also ditched the strap once I got a Perfect Shot gun shell.

We ditched the straps too.  Nobody used them anyway.

Oh no!  Not Wind Waker!  That's the worst out of all the non-handhelds, in my opinion.  Let me know what you think after you're sick of sailing.

Same here.  I hated those things.  Quite the nuisance to get to the batteries.  I'm interested to heart about the induction chargers and how long they take to charge.  I did keep the sleeves for a over a year, but threw them away just a few weeks ago.  Worthless.

I have kept the straps, though.  Some people using those things just scare the hell out of me when it's concerning my 52".

Really? What's it say when you try?

Same problem I've been having. Only happens at work, not at home.

"An Error Has Occurred!
Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again."

Which doesn't work.

Oddly enough, I edited THIS post (during the allotted time to keep the time stamp off), but I still can't edit the other.

Are you using Internet Explorer 8?

[ChadTower]

That sounds like a cookie issue.

[Ginsu Victim]

Are you using Internet Explorer 8?

IE 7, actually. I keep meaning to install Firefox here, but haven't gotten around to it. Since it's a work computer, I try not to do too much to it, but I'll make changing browsers a priority.

[ChadTower]

Firefox portable runs very well from a flash drive.  No install, no trace left on the machine.  Get a 4gb flash and have at it!

[Ginsu Victim]

Meh, I'll just install it.

[Hoopz]

Not that it matters, but I believe the time stamp showing that someone has edited their post only shows up if the edit is done after someone else has read the post.  If you edit it before someone else reads it, the stamp doesn't show.

[ChadTower]

I thought it was that AND there is a short time limit on it?  90 seconds or such.

[saint]

It's just a time limit I believe.

[Hoopz]

It's just a time limit I believe.

Oops, I was wrong. 

How much time do we have?  Couple minutes?

[ChadTower]

Now I remember!  That's how we evolved the ethical standard here of marking a thread EDITED even if the forum marked it.  I remember getting into hyperspeed arguments with Mr C where he would make a post, I'd quote it and reply, and in parallel he'd edit his post so it was different than what I had replied to and quoted.  After a while it became obvious we needed to start self policing so that couldn't be exploited intentionally.  It only gets used occasionally now but that was a big thing for a year or two.

[Hoopz]

Duh.  This is normal behavior around here and especially in EE.

The Wind Waker is one of my favorite games of all time and one of the best Zeldas ever made, IMO.  Much better than Majora's Mask or Twilight Princess (both of which are good games).  The art direction is stunningly beautiful.  And, unlike most people, I absolutely loved the sailing.  To each his own, I guess.

Does anyone know of a place where I can get a bluetooth dongle that will plug directly into a USB header on my motherboard? I'd rather not have the dongle for this thing sticking out of the back of my HTPC enclosure, and I don't have enough PCI slots to install a bluetooth card.

I've not seen any that plug into a header, but I have seen BT receivers that basically just stick out a tiny bit from the USB port.  Like this one:

[shmokes]

This would let you more or less plug a dongle directly into the USB header.  I mean, it technically would be indirect, but it would accomplish what you want at any rate.

nice find - I'm going to order a couple to have around!
