Reading Nielsen's quotes used to make me curse, but I really see him as a pundit whose era passed him by.
Most of his pronouncements in this article show a shocking resistance to the current directions of the web. His 82% of user are unaware of RSS almost directly correlates with a MSFT browser share - and it being unable to handle it. You've got a massive population frustrated by the lack of tools to monitor fresh web content, including blogs, that will suddenly tune into the infinite channel network of the web, because they can do it without wasting their time visiting sites serially. So in a year or so when Vista and a new Explorer are launched watch that RSS/Atom, etc penetration explode.
"Dust" is likely the result of a low quality release print process, with dirt in the contact printer. With a film like Star Wars they run out enormous numbers of release prints (like 3,000+) and there will be some prints that are worse than others. Horizontal scratching is more commonly found in platter systems when film that is wound poorly and slips side to side, scratching the base or emulsion.
The "building" you mention is the process of taking films off their 20 minute reels and assembling them into one continuous piece. This change was made to save money on projectionists with the advent of the cineplex (a Canadian invention).
In days of yor the projectionist had to manually synchronize reel changes every 20 minutes. You still often see the reel change signals (a white oval or X in the corner of the frame) preceeding the change. Chaining the platters through multiple projectors is another cost saver for the theatre owners.
Watch out for dim projection. The bulbs are quite expensive and often after the initial run of a big film they will turn down the output of a bulb to make them last longer. Best to see a film in the first few days of release if you can bear the crowds.
My advice - look for digital projection - available in some cities.
As the world's tallest midgets, and honest-to-goodness pioneers of self-promotion what do you hope you can establish for yourself (and perhaps other indies) with your continued embrace of the internet? Do you think it offers a future (and dignified retirement) for those artists consciously working outside of the mainstream? Is there potential to smash the corporate controlled distribution system (or at least saw it off at the knees) and redistribute that staggering wealth in a way that produces less vapid müzak?
Or is it just a whole lot more funny to work in relative obscurity for a lifetime realizing success just as you're ready to retire and/or starve to death?
Should we be glad the Blue Man Group sold out? Will singing into your guitar pickup bring the onset of embarrassing lip warts? Will Britney ever get to sing "her' songs, her way?

Firewire 6 pin cables carry power to your peripheral, 4 pin do not...
Seems to me that it meet be a safety measure, to avoid running DC to your other device.
46 pin cables are widely available

Ooh, sesh-ual that.
Apparently, roughly $80.

Uh...no. You may be thinking of relative pitch.
There's no rush cause we've got something to sell!

Psst Pops - "absolute pitch" and "perfect pitch" are the same thing...no need to make a distinction.

Modern LCD displays are typically rated with a MTBF of 100,000 hours. However, the backlight units are not...and as always your mileage may vary.
