the *lowest* speed available was 18Mbps -- something that still doesn't even *exist* at the consumer level anywhere in the US (that I'm aware of) in 2008.
Please allow me to introduce you to Verizon FiOS. It's 20Mbit down / 2 Mbit up for $45/month (for 12 months, or $50/month monthly.) I've had it for about two years. It is nice. Limited to cities right now, but then again try getting 20Mbps in Awaji-shima Japan;)
The wii fit board has only trivial things in common with a DDR mat, such as you set both on the ground and step on both. They are, for the most part, entirely different devices with entirely different mechanisms and purposes.
Although Vimeo is superior in every way (except possibly user-base size,) if you're so inclined you may wish to vote it up on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j60x3C43Qao so push the issue and see how ugly the IOC (and China, I guess) will get.
Did someone lie to you or did you just make that up? There are no new Intel or AMD desktop CPUs in the current or next three generations that will be less than 100W, much less 20W or 10W! For example, the new Tukwila is ~130W.
Even laptop CPUs have a hard time being that efficient. Maybe you're thinking of Via or Transmeta CPUs? Embedded ARM cores?
Actually, I mean both. The IR camera is useless without the sensor bar. And since this wiimote "clone" doessn't come with a sensor bar, then it doesn't have an IR camera.
Shhh! This is Obamanation and we are Obamaniacs for Obamanomics; don't spoil the fantasy! This is time to criticize McCain. Did you hear me -- I said criticize McCain!
not just campaign swag like hats and stickers, but higher-ticket items like a ride with McCain on his campaign bus.
Huh? I'd sure rather have a hat or a sticker than ride in the same vehicle as some old guy. Have you smelled an old person? It's not pretty; like a combination of mothballs, fried bacon, a Catholic church, talcum powder, and the dust underneath the couch
(The link in your sig makes me feel embarrassed for you. "The Internet hate machine is out to get you?" Really? Chan much? Are you the little kid in his mom's basement doing "interpretive dance" or the middle-aged dude in the skirt playing DDR?)
No. Nintendo (and Microsoft) just lost a lawsuit because they had controllers with "Variable Conductance Sensors." The firms are also alleged to have breached the following patents: 6,102,802 - "Game Controller with Analog Pressure Sensor", 6,135,886, "Variable Conductance Sensor with Elastomeric Dome Cap", 6,208,271 "Remote Controller with Analog Button", 6,222,525 "Image Controller with Sheet Connected Sensors", 6,343, 991 "Game Control with Analog Pressure Sensor", 6,344,791 "Variable Sensor with Tactile Feedback", 6,347,997 "Analog Controls Housed with Electronic Displays", 6,351,205 "Variable Conductance Sensor" (a different one,) 6,400, 303 "Remote Controller with Analog Pressure Sensor" (a different one,) 6,563,415 "Analog Sensor with Snap Through Tactile Feedback", and 6,906,700 "3D Controller with Vibration".
Of course, all of that is alleged by a patent troll who was clever enough to file suit hundreds of miles away from his "office" (which is a residential house) in Marshall, TX, home of the courts that will side with plaintiffs in 99% of patent infringement cases. It's good for the local economy!
It doesn't. You just keep tilting and waving until it randomly (eventually) puts the cursor where you wanted it. Then you click! So easy! Just like a wii!
Have you tried a "Vii"? (Chinese Wii knockoff to which parent linked) I have. It's terrible and you'd have to pay me to play it again. My 3, 5, 7, and 12-year-old nephews all hated it too. Seriously, it's utter garbage, especially if you've played with a real Wii. You can almost feel the liquid-mercury tilt switches inside. There is no sensor bar (not unlike this Asus "wiimote") -- 'nuff said for those who understand accelerometer drift and error integration.
Except that, should she have children, there's a good chance she'll pass on this disease to him/her/them, and so on, and so on, which was the GP's point that you apparently missed.

I don't think so. One may absorb some light without having to reflect any.

Close. Replace "revenue" with "profit margin" and you got it.
And this is a good thing how, exactly?
Hahahahahahaha. Ehhahaahaha. +1 Funny.
Wait....you're not serious, are you?
(The link in your sig makes me feel embarrassed for you. "The Internet hate machine is out to get you?" Really? Chan much? Are you the little kid in his mom's basement doing "interpretive dance" or the middle-aged dude in the skirt playing DDR?)
You could if it came with a sensor bar. But it doesn't. So you can't. HTH!
Oh, wait...

As could the same number of "naturally healthy" humans without the expensive genetic disorder.
How about spending it on increasing the quality of life for those who are "naturally healthy?" Quality > quantity you know.

Reality is unrelated to your belief. And there's a whole lot of territory between "hideous" and "hot."
This is slashdot. Statistically speaking, some fat person always has mod points.
Gastroschisis is usually hereditary.
Speak for yourself.
Before you flame me, yes, I know gastroschisis is usually (but not always) hereditary, but the point stands.
Children of overweight parents are more likely to suffer serious health problems during infancy. Just sayin'.
