Since music is a collaborative art, and you are going to want to share music, aren't you better off using what people in your "scene" are using, whether that's your school program or online forum or in the performance venues you frequent? I'd expect that would trump whatever software might look "best" if you were working alone.
Once you get used to working virtualized with remote desktop access you'll never go back. Fire up a new "machine" for every work-profile. You can tune the number of processors and memory per VM so that big compile or video render won't step on something that needs to be interactive. After seeing http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/p/apple-mac-mini-resources.html I went out and grabbed a mac mini and a thunderbolt ethernet adapter (for dual ports), and downloaded the free vmware esxi package. It makes everything very easy.
Don't worry. Your metric friends to the North with big coats, ice tires and electric block heaters generally laugh at people in the US complaining about the "cold" weather.
The program was called Cell Biotechnology. This was from a genetics professor. I also recall lectures and discussions of ethics as part of an embryology course (use of human stem cells) and as part of a human genetics course (gene therapy, elective abortion after Amniocentesis, etc.). It would sadden me to think practical ethics issues are not discussed as part of any course of study.
It has nothing to do with "don't even try". The gist was this: Make whatever you want in a contained lab. Just don't let it out because you won't be able to contain it again. So, if you want a software analogy, it would kind of be like writing a self replicating computer virus that fixes some known bug and then releasing it onto the Internet. Sounds great at first but often doesn't end well.
When I was studying genetics in the late 80's/early 90's, we were taught that releasing GMOs into the environment was immoral. It had nothing to do with whether or not food products were safe, and everything to do with the impossibility of understanding what effect such new organisms would have on the incredibly complex wild environment. When I heard that Monsanto's GMO crops had become superweeds, causing major problems for farmers not growing Monsanto crops, it seemed that what I was taught was correct.
From the article, it seems that most of Hawaii's concern is protecting their ecosystems.
6 months ago, I think I paid $230 Canadian for my Acer with 2GB RAM, 300GB HD (not SSD), and the short life battery. Models with more RAM, SSD storage, and bigger battery are more. Yes, posted US and Canadian prices always exclude sales tax.
I used to try to keep organized using electronic tools, from the old Newton 120 to Ecco Pro to One Note. I found myself fiddling with software way too much. Now I use black lab books (as above) for work tasks, and pocketable moleskine-style books for personal stuff. If I get really busy with multiple tasks, I keep them in a stack of paper on my desk, and sort by priority every morning. If you need more than this, you might be spending too much time on the process of "keeping organized".
Bought my Acer Chromebook with the intention of running Linux on it for use as an on-site network diagnostics machine I didn't need to fear getting stolen. I have found myself using it much more in the chrome side of the dual boot. Web browsing, checking mail, and even the occasional netflix movie. Basically what other people use tablets for, except it has a physical keyboard. It's a great little machine.
I know a 70 year old woman who really hadn't used computers much until her recent purchase of an iPhone. She loves it. Facetime, sending pics via sms, email, and google at her fingertips have really enhanced her life. She has become the go-to expert for all her friends and even her daughters on how to use the technology to its fullest.
Clearly text input with one hand and mouse input with the other is a better input paradigm, but it is still not in use much today.
I can't imagine that keeping my right hand idle for the once a minute or so I use the mouse is very efficient. I suspect the reason that it hasn't caught on is that heavy use of key-binds so that both hands can stay on the keyboard is the true "better input paradigm".
The "expert" isn't very clear on what he's saying, but to someone who was in the Canadian military just before the end of the cold war, I read his statement like this: Concentrating on fighting against a large-scale land-based invasion of the North is cold war thinking. Development budgets should be spent on fighting current threats.
BTW, I always looked forward to winter exercises.
Anybody who really cares about good photos and video is going to use a dedicated camera with interchangeable lenses, a larger sensor, reduced rolling shutter and RAW. For everyone else, the current phone cameras are "good enough."
I suspect Matthew built a rifle because making a plastic pistol in Canada would get him into very serious trouble. The laws governing Hunting "long-guns" are significantly more relaxed.
We're not talking about releasing a vulnerability that will compromise someone's e-mail. We're talking about a high risk vulnerability that could cost some random person their life.
The same thing could be said of many security flaws in industrial control systems. Out-of-control dams, water treatment plants, and nuclear reactors can all kill a lot more people. Until manufacturers are scared a few times by liability from high-profile exploits, they won't do anything about securing their products.
I'm not so sure about that. I've noticed on a couple occasions when receiving friendly hugs from attractive first cousins that they smell like my parents. I'd imagine that's a total turn-off for most.
So open a window or turn on a vent fan when you use a 3d printer. Good to know. Those of us with existing respiratory issues actually do appreciate hearing about unexpected sources of crap in the air.

My dad is a bit of a hoarder. I tell him to "store" his broken toaster collection at Goodwill. They will have one when he needs one.

While this is usually the cause of garage fires, I'll bet it is less likely in garages that store vehicles that use neither oil nor gasoline.

AFAIK, documents are classified until they are formally declassified.
