Comment Where did the figures come from? (Score 2, Interesting) 57

Comparing the summary, article, and official site:

Summary and article: prices range from 50 cents to $3 per song
Official site: Final pricing has yet to be determined

Summary: Artists get 30% after MTV and MS take their cut
Article: Artists get 30% of each sale
Official site: Artists get "a cut" of each sale

Where did the figures in the article and summary come from?

It's "Leggo my Eggo," not "Lego my Eggo."

(Interesting but completely off-topic side note: eggo.com is some consulting firm; leggomyeggo.com is the official site for the rounded waffle-type thing)

I do like to read source code, but I am one in a million (of programmers) and theres probably around 7 million programmers, so probably theres only another 7 dudes like me :-I

Slight correction on the math: if there are 7 million programmers, and 1 in a million enjoy reading source code, there should be 7 total. You are one of them, thus there should be 6 other dudes like you.

And I am one of those 6.

The search is on for the other 5 dudes like us.

he should start smoking

I know you're being facetious, but... I was a porker throughout my entire youth, weighing 240 by the time I graduated high school. I started smoking shortly afterwards, and within a year I lost 70 pounds. In the 12 years that have passed, I have gained back 30 of them. I'm 30 now and still smoke. If you've never smoked before, chances are that if you started you would lose weight fairly rapidly for a while ... but I do *not* recommend picking up the habit.

Tetris is SO unrealisitc

I can't figure out if you were trying to be funny or not, but Tetris (and its "opposite" Jenga) were great practice for many things to be encountered later in life:

  • Packing a box or suitcase
  • Loading a trunk or truck with items of different shapes and sizes
  • Fitting frozen goods of various shapes and sizes into a small freezer, and later, extricating one of them without having all of the others come with it
