Cartoons are almost always dubbed for foreign markets because they are targeted for children who cannot read well, if at all. Many children are against having to read subtitles, even if they can read.
What is wrong with emailing the guy next to you? I always make people email me, even if I'm talking with them in real-life or on the phone. I won't remember things unless it is in my inbox.
Samsung looks cheap, but you will get a much better deal with the Brother HL-5040. The toner is much cheaper (get the high-capacity toner), it has more memory, and it supports Postscript.
Finally. The horrible ide-scsi driver was one of the reasons I decided to put my CD-RW (now a DVD+RW) drive into an external firewire chassis - firewire drives are seen to Linux as SCSI.
The other things I got from the change was being able to turn the drive off (saving electricity), it became portable, and I can use it from multiple machines without having to kill my network.
There is no game called "Duke Quake'em 3-D" FPS. Anyway, Duke Nukem 3D is playable under Linux and the others should play fine in DOSbox/DOSemu.
Every game of the title Quake runs under Linux. Infact, the original Quake was the second commercially successful game to be ported to Linux - the first was Doom.
My old HP CD-RW drive would crash (along with my system) if I tried using scsi-emulation for reading anything larger than a megabyte from the drive. It was fine for burning though. I had to move to the ide-cd driver whenever I wished to use it for reading.
Once I bought a firewire enclosure and realized it still happened, infact worse than before, I decided to ditch it and bought a sub-$100 dvd+rw drive.
Use -k to keep the settings for your drive - the drive should remember the settings and they should remain active while using scsi-emulation (which is only limited to whatever IDE settings you're using)
Yaboot will let you boot between Linux, MacOS, MacOSX, etc. I'm sure there would be a way to add BSD operating systems as well, perhaps chained to a separate boot-loader?
You can have a completely silent computer and not have to worry about "not having a harddrive" via the following options:
1) Use a solid-state harddrive, very expensive but possible. No noise. 2) Don't use a harddrive, use a fileserver. The fileserver would make noise but can be installed in a well-ventilated closet or even off-site if you have the bandwidth. 3) Boot from a regular harddisk, copy necessary files to a ramdisk (shmfs in Linux is great for this) and then remount the harddrive read-only and spin it down (hdparm -y/dev/..). This is essentially the same as #1 but doesn't require any additional purchases and more likely to result in data-loss. I use this technique on my router/fax-machine/voicemail system.
I'm not sure what their site was made in, but Unix software is certainly capable of being used to create webpages and other media just as well as Windows based applications.
As far as 3d applications go for Unix you have Blender, SoftImage, Lightwave, Maya, Alias/Wavefront, PovRay, Renderman, and more. Note that Lightwave doesn't run under Linux, but is ported to SGI's Irix - a Unix based OS.
There are 2d applications as well: the GIMP, Photogenics, even Photoshop if you count MacOS X - or version 3 which was ported to Solaris and Irix.
For editting of the pages themselves, there are various editors but I personally wouldn't do without VIM (advanced vi clone), others prefer Emacs. There are editors specifically designed for HTML/CSS work - but like Dreamweaver or Frontpage, real webmasters probably wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole.
HTML/CSS specific editors include but are not limited to Bluefish, Scream, Netscape, and Mozilla (Netscape and Mozilla have built-in WYSIWYG editors).
Or don't want to have yet another noisy box sitting in their room when they can just pop it into Vmware. I've given up on buying new hardware as anything but a replacement - running more than one machine is simply too loud.
I know you're looking for an analog camera, but the Canon A40 is a great camera for about $200 or less these days (I got mine for $240 a year ago + a free 32meg cf disk).
At the time it was the only digital camera with SLR-like functionality available in the price range. There are only 3 lenses available (closeup, telephoto, wide-angle), but they are fairly inexpensive. There is also water-submersion kit available.
It has 3 modes: Automatic, Program, and Manual - where program is something in-between the difficult of Automatic and Manual.
I bought a sub-$100 BenQ DVD+RW drive and it rocks. I've made about 10 dvds and 10 cdr's and haven't had a coaster yet - and I'm using it over firewire/w a cheap enclosure I grabbed on ebay.
Rsync is, in many ways, a better tool.. but also a worse tool, for some reasons as well. The problem with rsync is that it will not use RCS like CVS does to manage file revisions.
There are many other solutions too, including Freevo and Matchbox. Matchbox is a window manager, but is excellent for kiosks and televisions with a WinCE like interface with it's included mbdesktop - just run 'mbsession'.
You can play Sorenson files with mplayer, or - even QuickTime itself with Wine (works perfectly with Crossover Plugin, although slow)
These days, for cheap, hotswapable raid solutions you have: 1. External USB2 or Firewire enclosures with cheap IDE disks 2. SATA drives with SATA drive caddies
Yes, but how many systems will reach the magic 60fps ? It might bring the system from 30fps to 32fps.

All you had to do was play the tutorial levels, they explained skiing. If you don't play the tutorials or read the manual, expect to suck.
NTFS on your display? Interesting, most people use it on their harddrive as a filesystem. Maybe you meant NTSC?

I don't know what crappy rubber-membrane keyboards you're using - but my Model:M with buckling string is considerably louder than my mouse.

Worse.. I bought it 2 months ago, installed it into a vmware virtual machine and then got too busy on a new project to actually use it ;)

They already have prior art, they don't need to patent it.

Try stunnel. This will let you access https sites without http by tunneling it to a local (non-encrypted) port.
You can do this for other services as well.
And I thought token sucking sounded nasty :)
Only the section regarding being required to give the first born child would be unenforcable. The rest of the contract would still be enforcable.

Combine the above with software raid.
