  1. pyddr or Stepmania ? by tempmpi · · Score: 1 · on Long Computer Sessions Could Cause Blood Clots

    A round of pyddr or Stepmania each two hours should be enough to prevent DVT and it is also a lot of fun. (Well, you probably won't want to do that in your office, but I think it should be ok at home.)
    But you shouldn't do that when you already sat down for 10 hours, then you would maybe even trigger the DVT with that.

    The women working the show are your average marketing department types.

    Certainly not the type to read Slashdot... Oops.
    Sorry about my lack of spandex at Xiph's booth, but I prefer my black jeans and tee.
    There were some cute women out there, and most of the ones I took the time to talk to actually had something intelligent to say. Perhaps you should have hung out at the icculus booth and watched the chicks playing pyDDR. If you don't find bouncing female breasts attractive (and many of the girls I saw even had cute faces to match), then it's quite possible there is no hope for you.

    For non-Windows users, try PyDDR.

    Why not integrate PyDDR with GDB?

  5. Fast DDR background by Wingchild · · Score: 5, Informative · on Video Games in Gym Class - DDR 101?
    DDR is an excellent dancing game produced by Konami, longtime makers of Contra and Castlevania. It's a craze that started out in Japan and has since migrated stateside.

    The principles are easy; you pick a dance track to listen to, and as the song plays, steps scroll up from the bottom of the screen. Your controller is actually a gigantic platform with four directional arrows on it, which you step on in time to the music. All you have to do is match the right arrow to the one scrolling by on screen. Easy, right? I mean, come on, we've all got incredible hand/eye coordination due to all our years of video gaming! No problem.

    ..heh. The game's physically intense and a great workout, in addition to being far more fun than it has any right to be.

    Here's the mandatory link to DDR Freak, which has some basic information on the game. And for the Python friendly out there, check out pyDDR, a DDR clone for Python.
