As mentioned in some of the other replies, monitoring based on heart rate is the goal.

If you want the reasoning behind it read this book:

Spark ( http://www.amazon.com/Spark-Revolutionary-Science-Exercise-Brain/dp/0316113506 )

- Quick Summary: Exercise is f'ing awesome for the brain, and you learn better if you exercise (especially in the morning)

I wish I had been taught PE with a heart rate monitor in school.

AMD To Open ATI Specs 426

Posted by kdawson on Thursday September 06, 2007 @10:17AM from the just-what-was-asked dept.

Several readers tipped us the followup of yesterday's AMD/ATI news, the new development hinted at by Phoronix: AMD has announced they are releasing the specs for all new Radeon chipsets, and will be working with the open source community to develop a fully functional 2D and 3D graphics driver. An anonymous reader opines: "AMD appears to be following in Intel's footsteps with upcoming releases. If AMD is successful NVidia will have real competition in the GNU/Linux gaming arena. While past support by ATI was unsatisfactory the new AMD buyout appears to be having some effect."
