Wii fit is effective, and results do show (look at any of the extended reviews).
It is not anything that couldn't been done without it (probably even more effectively), but is does elevate heart rate, which means calories are being burnt vs sitting on your ass.
The Yoga part is actually quite awesome, and is something that is clearly enhanced by the balance board (some of the strength training greatly benefits too, but not as much).
If I feel muscle ache the next day, and it raises my heart rate while I do it, how is it not a workout?
A company using gmail for its email is likely not too serious.
On the other hand, a company using google applications for your domain is probably pretty intelligent. I actually think the killer app is the spreadsheet for than the email though.
I use at work pdumpfs daily at work. I can keep 2 weeks worth, and have a non-writable share called "BACKUPS" for people to get files from an accidental rm -rf.
And something such as timevault or flyback could be used to also provide hourly backups (though you will need some GUI software on your server to set them up).
I'm sure a real administrator could come up with a script on their own too.
rdiff-backup is real nice too, but does not allow for a browsable structure to recover older files, so I went with pdumpfs.
We payed half what I pay not in Philadelphia, AND the city was able to profit some, leading to essentially non-existent taxes (in Philly I pay a large wage tax, and 1% sales tax).
It may not be earth shattering, but they do, IMHO, a great job with their interface.
With things fluidly moving from place to place, and a great sidebar that captures what I think is the best of ribbons. You can turn them all into toolbars, a tabbed sidebar, or floating tool windows. All by dragging, no obscure menus.
And it uses a frames style page editing, which though not innovative, and kind of annoying for small documents is quite useful in longer more complex ones.
For simple type documents I really like Abiword. It is like that 5% of Word that people who don't need real wordproccessors think is all there is to one.
I would go as far as to say that if he believes current copyright law is good and reasonable he is a hypocrite.
His statements imply he does not think swapping MP3s is a big deal, but under current law what he did (cracking and trading software) is a serious thing. To treat is as no big deal, and then support laws that make it such is hypocrisy.
If you can fill in a gap on that table it would be great, since the best they have any AMD doing is a lower (half) bitrate 1080p. If a 4600+ can do better, it is info worth knowing.
I am sure that in mature markets where everybody is struggling to make thin profit margins taxes are passed right along.
But in markets with few players and high cost for entry (petroleum for example) the price is determined by demand when supplies are low. Not by the cost of production (which is where taxes would fall (sort of)).
Exxon's price is based on the low supply of crude, and the low refining capacity in the US. Coupled with the fact that adding to either is a multi-year bullion dollar project. If taxes went up people wouldn't be willing to spend more on fuel, and prices wouldn't go up. If this weren't true profits would be flat as prices went up, but they are not.
I would say that once one gets to the point you are at, the specific Distro is fairly irrelevant.
Since I assume you are comfortable finding guides on the internet, seeking out packages, and typing.config && make&&make install you will have available pretty much any open source package.
I like Ubuntu because of it's up to date and abundant repositories, but from what I can tell that is fairly common now amongst Distros. YMMV.
What do you feel is missing from the "transitional" distros?
I can't find a way to easily sort users by what account I have them on. I have to mouse over and read if I want to look.
I would like the ability to collapse my work list and only have my friends show while at home. and visa versa at work.
These are separate logins, but I cannot find a way to group by them. I admit to not spending too much time, but I did try to google for it, and I read the name and scimmed the descriptions of every plugin I had.
I actually think the resizing text input is brilliant, though I don't see why it they didn't add an option if people are really pissed by it. I guess option creep is as big a risk as feature creep though.
I really liked the dragging down of a corner to peek behind a maximized window in earlier versions of the wobbly windows. I can't seem to make that happen anymore though, but it was useful.
Now I just set my move transparency quite high and click the titlebar to see through, but it is much less intuitive, and harder to read.
Very minor example, but the Tomato firmware for the Linksys WRG-54L (Linux capable one) has a real nice real-time bandwidth graph in SVG. It is similar to the google analytics flash graphs, with AJAX and real time updating.
Here is a link to a screenshot of an older version. It dynamically adjusts the y axis and the new version lets you set a smoothing and update interval. It all slowly slides left as new data comes in. It is really quite awesome, and uses SVG.
according to this page you could have aptituded it on January 11th (less than 24 hours later). Similar was available with RC1 and RC2, though as the page mentions, you would have to have unisntalled them if you had them installed first.
I d admit to somtimes having to find a package on the internet or some third party repository or even a seperate.deb file, to get the latest and greatest features (KDE4 or Compiz Fuzion for example). At one point the new release of devede had a kiler feature that the ubuntu copy was missing (menu authoring), there is more DVD authoring software in general at getdeb.net than in the distro, but all of this is easy enough to install and ends up in synaptic with no compiling. In fact the only thing I can think of that I would need to compile that I personally want is the KDE 4.1 alpha that came out today.

This is not like Open Source or Free Software.
It is closer to some level of Shared Source (though not early as insidious).
No,
for that price you can almost get a single quad core (go to the build page and remove on of the CPUs to save $500 and be left with $2300

Even 750 KB/s is pretty fast.
I'm willing to bet it was closed to 75.0KB/s, or the wireless in England is awesome compared to what I have seen in the states (generally 50-150 KB/s)
My old city (19711) did this (buy in bulk).
We payed half what I pay not in Philadelphia, AND the city was able to profit some, leading to essentially non-existent taxes (in Philly I pay a large wage tax, and 1% sales tax).
Is it there?
I have seen signs at the bank where there were only 2 pixels of height for the letters.
It was not a matter of distance, or size. There were no letters at all. Does that really count as the text existing?
Try to read the small text on a SD TV.
I don't think there is enough pixel resolution to display the smalltext, and I am not convinced it is vocalized in every add.
I have the same problem with digital billboards and screens at banks.
The small text is never rendered with enough detail to be legible in any circumstances, and I wish someone would start to sue the people advertising.
I think the article mentions it is more money than it is worth.
Look at kword2

This still supports that taxes have very little to do with the price set.
They want to go as high as possible on profits. Cost has little to do with it.
If $2.00/gallon tax were added the price would most likely increase by some number $2.00.
Your specs are considerably lower than the lowest I have seen playing bluray 1080p on Linux.

Didn't the (semi) open spectrum cost billions less than the closed spectrum?
Taking that discount and not following through is what sounds like a sucker punch to me.

Have you used Kword 2?
They use a ribbonish interface on the right edge, and I love it.
It also lets my page look like a page.
Can't you install the Windows theme, and then go back and change the decorations, icons, etc. but leave the fonts?
Then save this as your new theme?
This assumes that those other solutions have indeed it on the right setup.

What is it in Ubuntu that you want more up to date?
I find it a very up-to-date distro, but maybe I am missing something.
