That's exactly how I was picturing it... personalized because it adapts to your height, weight, etc - but still just a personal trainer/excercise tape type of thing at the core.
I'm sure it's been addressed, but how is this actually a game? It sounds to me like it's just a "video game version" of an excercise tape. Or something very close. Same with the screenshot.
Don't get me wrong, I can see the benefit and I think people will probably find it useful, but I don't really understand why it's on the Xbox (or PS2 later, for that matter).
Well that's kind of why I was asking, I know that the Apple version is pretty simple and basic, though I think that you can get at least a couple more of those services (than the most basic). But I wanted to be sure that it may have been that there was more to it.
Personally though, the most I need can be had with the "generic" access point - but I can definitely see the need for more control.
Access points really only get "warm" from what I've seen. Well, at least mine. I have a netgear wireless router that is on 24/7 and you dont really feel any heat coming off of it.
Though I should mention that it's enough heat to be annoying. I had a small box of mini-reese cups and had unknowingly placed it on top of my router only to find the entire box melted the next day.
So I put the box in the fridge and had a Reese's Brick.:)
Kind of like the apple airport?

Did you realize that you don't even need to spend the dough for an Access Point?
So is this like when you can share the Airport on an Apple without having an actual base station? For example, I can just open up my iBook and create an access point with my airport card (presumably to share the ethernet connection, or dialup, if you dare).
No, I realize that there are pay-per-download services. My point was that for people that want to buy CDs (which is where the RIAAs "loss" is claimed to come from), the prices are terrible.
People are downloading songs by the thousands, sure. I buy some of them myself. But most of the things people are downloading are singles or maybe a couple songs from a CD. People just generally aren't interested in buying the full CD as much as they used to be because usually there are one or two "decent" singles on a CD, surrounded by crappy filler music. That's why people don't want to buy them.
I think the problem is more like $16-$20 regularly priced CDs at places like FYE and Sam Goody and other stores. There's no reason for things that high. And I realize that it's not totally the record company setting those prices, but still. They have a part in it somewhere.
And like the OP mentioned anyways, content is a big deal. If you don't put out anything that people want to hear, then people won't buy it. It's simple.
Oh, I spent at least a decent amount of time looking for a job like that. And actually, the ones that I interviewed before the one I have now were much lower than what I ended up with, so it was a surprise to me to get this much. But I think it'll work out well. I do wish everyone that's trying to find a job luck though, I've been there.
I'm making $18/hr just doing help desk. I have a business degree though, but still, that's useless. I would at least hope that a comp sci degree would garner a little more...
Not to say at all that $20/hr would be bad, just by comparison. I'm actually quite happy with my wage.
Or, maybe putting the play buttons at the bottom of the window threw you off
I'm sure that was the idea. While LPhoto may look a lot more like it's apple counterpart, LTunes is still definitely a clone. Especially with the creepy eye for the browse button and with the song display and status.
Especially since Real is one of the big reasons that MS now owes the EU (or whoever over there) a ton of $$. I think it would be funny to see MS buy them out just for that... well, that and to get rid of Real and their crappy player/files.
I would complain more that the consumer doesn't benefit from these lower costs at all... not so much that the work goes overseas. I agree that it could be in a company's best interests to outsource it for cheaper labor. But when a company has lower costs, but keeps prices the same... that extra money sure isn't going into floor wax...

Last I checked, Slashdot was still brought to you by the letters F and U. So it must just be a NICk thing.

Actually, I would think that would speed up the /.-ing. People will just go right for the images and kill it faster.
You can probably just use the server after we're done with it... that should cook just about anything.
I think that's:
All your DVD belong to JACK.

You have to "wish upon a weinstein" ... :)
Well, if they'd open it up to other states (ahem, PA), I'd be happy to claim some money. :)
So would he rather have them all running Windows? I'm confused.

Ya, they shop at Walmart for PCs. Not that there's anything wrong with that... ;)
I need more variety than that... at least 256. Or maybe just a nice web-safe pallet.
It was only posted for 2 minutes, but I still can't get to the site already. I have a page title, but it's just sitting there... :(
Well, once you're done pissing off Microsoft, you might as well go try to piss off Apple too.

Might want to work on the mirror you have there... it's not so much a mirror, but a single page that points right back to the Angelfire site...
