Uh, no. It _started_ at 8 screens, but expanded to ~130 at its peak. Check it out: http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/mh/boxoffice.html -- Figures for the video/DVD are hard/impossible to obtain.
Dubbed. The subtitled prints might worm their way back into the system, but probably only at art-house screens. After all, "Spirited Away" won the Oscar, not "Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi".
Yes: http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/video/sen/ -- but. . . it's released by Buena Vista Japan. Disney kicked in 10% of the film's production costs, they got a cut from the theatrical release as well as the video releases. Some of the European video releases are from third-party distributors, Disney may or may not receive funds from those sales.
The film is making it's way to the UK via Optimum in September or October. The following is a message from Optimum (posting in lynx, sorry if it's all jumbled): Thank you for your emails - I was going to come back to you once we had set a date for the film which will be September or October,
depending on the Oscar situation and the pattern for Finding Nemo.
The release will be around 50 prints, and will take in a mix of
independent and key high st sites, we are thrilled to have the film
and see it as our most important release of this year.
We will be releasing the film in both versions [Japanese and English
dubs] on DVD in 2004.
I will have our publicity department contact you with regard to
accessing the Miyazaki fans in the UK. ---- The source is a March 11, 2003 news item on Nausicaa.net.
An internal thing. Here's a column by Jack Matthews of the New York Post: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/col/story/37951p-35839c.html where he questions Richard Cook of Disney about future release plans. (It's dated November 2002) "Spirited Away" fulfilled all of the goals set by Cook so it'd look really bad for Disney not to follow through with a re-release.
Sort of, in the various documentaries that pepper the DVD (coming out on April 15) Lasseter isn't present in any of the dubbing scenes. He was more of a "spiritual guide" than a hands-on "hey, that line sucked" director. Credits and such found here: http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/sen/credits.html

Everyone complaining about Nausicaa should calm down and realize that the DVD hasn't even been released in Japan. Besides, the manga is everywhere and tells 300% more story.

Except MD Data was slow, slow, slow. 150KB/s continuous, 2.5 MB burst (from minidisc.org). I think people wanted something a little faster than a 1x CD-ROM. But hey, it makes for great security these days since almost no one can read the MDs.
Why wait? The DVD are rolling out in Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan: http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/video/release.htm l - Still waiting in the US, but it should be noted that Disney is handling the release in Japan.
Even with a webalized email option, many users, even novices, stick to PINE. I know plenty of students at the UW who you wouldn't want within 10 feet of your computer but can use PINE to read/write email. And that's the purpose of PINE, to be an easy-to-use program for people with Other Things To Do Than Configure and Tweak Mail Programs. I don't know about other Universities, but the primary method of accessing email at the UW (computer labs and such) is via SSH and PINE. There's a huge userbase at the UW because PINE is the default (suprise) MUA; I'm sure some students are using mutt (hooray for shell access) but for the majority of students PINE does the job without any hassles. Security and licensing are moot points when everything is hosted on servers run by Computing and Communications.
Adam Smith represents the District 9, which runs from Thurston County in the south to about the city limits of Seattle in the North (http://www.house.gov/adamsmith/district9/map.html ). Jim McDermott is the rep for the 7th District which covers Redmond/Bellevue/etc.
The newest entry into the MD world is NetMD, basically a USB-enabled MD recorder. The implementation is a bit shoddy, for example you can download music from PC -> MD, but you can't upload from the MD -> PC; not even material that is recorded in analog mode (say, at a concert). No doubt because Sony is slightly paranoid about keeping users in check. I still use my reliable (non-NetMD, or even MDLP) Sony MZ-R50 for recording concerts and as a portable.

Check the art house theaters this week, it's scheduled for release on April 24.
Right, it's a lot easier to put an extra audio track on a DVD (due to fan demands) than try and put another print in theaters.

Disney did contribute 10% of the production costs, so there's a bit more to the relationship than just distribution.

The entire rate increased, but the cable modem rental price dropped, in effect cutting the discountfor owning your own modem by $7.
