DDR has multiple levels of difficulty. If you were to restrict the songs/difficulties selected to songs that people in your group can do without breaking a sweat, this should be no problem.
For example, If you find that everyone can pass 6s (1-10 scale) without breaking a sweat, you play on 6s.
Interestingly, we called McDonald's Mickey-Dees (boy, never thought I'd put that on paper!) when I was growing up.
The year? 1988. In Iowa. First heard from one of the nerdiest guys in the high school.
I know they're working the street-cred angle right now, but they can do better than a group of white Iowan high school computer nerds from the '80s.
Whew. Having gone through the pain of purchasing an HD set recently...
Visiting a store doesn't help at all.
Places like Best Buy are particularly unhelpful. It's very apparent that they are just concerned about getting SOME signal on all their monitors-- They don't care if it is the best picture that particular screen can show. They don't care that the signal has obviously degraded from end of their showroom to the other. It was obvious that many of the monitors were just improperly set-up-- they were out of focus, misaligned, etc. (To be fair, this could be due to customers messing with the settings, not with the original setup).
Do I have a solution? Not really. Going to a high-end store seems like the obvious answer, but if you are looking for something that doesn't fit their idea of what is good, they won't be useful at all. On-Line reviews are as hit or miss as anything.
What we did: We made the best selection we could with the knowledge we had. Brought it home, and found that we didn't like it. We returned it. Bought a second one, which we didn't like either. We returned that. Bought a third one. Loved it, kept it.
And that's really the only advice I can give-- buy from a place where you can return it. You have your own preferences, and your own environment. You will see the obvious flaws in some pictures, but not in others.
I didn't read the article until after I saw this snippit from the parent. I just had to verify it was in the article...
"... a fan who calls himself Obi Geewhyen..."
Folks, say it slowly, in syllables.
How about having one "article" called "best of april fools" that you post at the end of the day, instead of a million individual "isn't this funny" articles.
Yes, it's april fools day. Yes, there are some funny things out there. And yes, we actually want to see them... But do they really have to take over the whole site?
Here's the problem. The industry just heard...
blah blah blah blah blah most of them suck.
Ah, Ha! There's a need out there for a NEW BETTER memory. We need to tap this market!
Did this.
Well, actually, to be specific, I purchased a working 4th mix a long time ago (back in the 5th mix days), and then made a device to swap between "normal" DDR and stepmania.
It really isn't that difficult if you have a background in working with JAMMA-compatible arcade games.
My big restriction is that my wife would not tolerate any downtime of the DDR, nor any unreversable damage to the cabinet. It made me aim towards utilizing some premade parts for MAME and multi-arcade systems.
There are tricky issues with the start buttons, and some minor ones with the speakers, but nothing that can't be overcome with some slight modifications to the non-DDR parts.
I believe that my setup is described somewhere on the Stepmania site, but I forgot where the link is.
The biggest advantage to using Debian over Windows in a situation like this is that the people in charge of Debian keep their users informed when a problem is found.
We can not expect the same behavior from Microsoft.
Both open source and closed source will be broken into for a long time in the future. It is the behavior of the people building the software when a problem is found that determines which is the "safer" system.
Honestly, I trust my debian machines FAR more than I trust my windows boxes on the network. Both my home and lab are sprinkled with Debian, Windows, and Suse. I use Debian for servers, gateways, etc. I use windows for games, and other software that is windows-only. I use Suse for productivity. It's a nice balance.

I forgot to preview for line breaks. So shoot me.

Every set of duplicate articles must, by definition, be preceded by an article that is, at the time, unique.

Dont forget an error correction method.
My suggestion is audio. "Hey, Frank... was that 001 or 110?"
In the first days, AOL had a glitch in their system that caused all of their users to "double post".
THAT was annoying.
