Drumming with the Wii remote and nunchuck ala Rayman Raving Rabbids would have been fun. Is the Wii not beefy enough for their intentions or something?
Why is this modded up? The whole point is that you design your life so that exercise is part of your life. This means living in a place that helps you exercise. Does anyone else think it's a bit odd to drive 10 miles to a gym to run on a treadmill? Or if you're ambitious, run along the side of a busy road in what is basically a ditch, get cigarette butts thrown at you, and generally looked down upon? Suburbia sucks. I moved somewhere where I don't need a car for day-to-day life and I've been much happier and fitter. So who's smarter? The person who exercises 20 minutes a day and watches their diet, or the person who took the time to place themself somewhere where exercise is a part of their normal life.
The keywords there are "then it installs itself." A.app is self contained. There is no install. I don't want to run an installer. To uninstall, you get rid of the.app. No risk of deleting dependencies, no libraries floating around your system, no mess. In most cases the worst left over is a single preferences file in your user's preferences folder. On top of that, I can run that.app from a CD, a network drive, a disk image...
The main beef is that I want things to be self-contained. That doesn't mean I only download one file, that means the application for all normal purposes is one file that can be tossed around and thrown out if needed. No dependencies that might get erased, no crap. For most applications the worst left over should be a single preferences file found in one central folder for your user.
All I want is to be able to install applications on my GNU/Linux in a similar way as I do on Mac OS X. I want a self contained.app bundle type system. I don't want installer programs in the form of CNR, apt-get, portage, or "./configure && make && sudo make install". Is there a distro out there that can do that?
Looking past your political generalization... Telecommunications are public utilities that tend to be natural monopolies and therefore fall into a regulated sector.
I found this conclusion interesting: "...we project costs for biodiesel which are two times higher than current
petroleum diesel fuel costs." (Emphasis mine)
So the price of gasoline in 1998, the year the paper was written, was around $1.25 per gallon. I'll pay $2.50 a gallon for algae fuel anyday.
You need a critical eye for all information present to you. It doesn't matter who is sponsoring it. Stop spreading FUD, especially when you obviously haven't seen the show.
Wages and hours are separate issues from being passionate about developing games. I generally agree with you, but I think we just have some different connotations associated with the word "passion." One can get screwed in any job. If you feel you're getting screwed then get out as soon as you can and find a way to decrease your screwitude. Of course. If you don't like how people get hired, start your own company and hire some really apathetic people. Avoid those who were passionate about games and single handedly won game dev contests, or those weirdos who invented some totally cool new deferred particle shading system for _fun_. Send them to me. Sounds like wonderful business sense.
A gaming degree doesn't mean squat to me when I'm looking for people. What is important is what they've done and how they are as a person. Passion is the strongest dye on the planet and it stains everything that someone does. If you don't have a lot to show then you're not passionate about games and you will be left in the dust by the people who are.
This is concrete proof that the Enyclopedia Brittanica is superior. They have exactly zero revisions to their Wii page! No vandalism in sight. They really have theirprioritiesstraight.
Start reading, start googling, check out your local newspaper's website. You don't have to ponder for months. There are plenty of primary sources out there to make your decision with time to go out for ice cream all before the polls close. You don't... hate.... ice cream.... do you?

They'd be more like late term iAbortions at this stage.

In a press released issued just now, AllOfMp3.com replied, "No, AllOfMp3 agrees to shut down Russia."
....At 2x2 pixel resolution, 1 bit color, 1 fps... Where do you draw the line on video quality?

NOVA did an excellent episode about this. The theory is that pollution is greatly masking the effects of global warming.

So what happens when I hold some shrubbery up in front of me as I walk?
The funniest jokes are the ones that people react the most negative to. Troll 101, come on!

It's also an anagram for SOS MD: which predicts that Michael Douglas will have a sailing mishap sometime in the near future.
Is it just me or does Jesus have a woman resting on his lap in the Last Supper section?
Yeah buddy, I know. The context here is listening to Brittney Spears over your Space Stereo. Take a breath.
