Too lazy? Too LAZY? Vocabulary lesson: Being so ungodly nerdy, even for slashdot, that you actually took the time to look that up is not the same as "lazy".
Big Karma bonus for the governors of NV though, 41-0 on passing laws to nail the perpetrators AND finig them $500 for each successful plaintif in court.
Once again, Nevada takes the moral high road, leaving the rest of the nation to follow.
I hope that makes sense, I've been up all night drinking 'cause I lost my paycheck at the craps table.
Good suggestions, but the reason I suggest avoiding Linux is that though it may be fine for specific apps, the craft requires such a broad range of skills, you have more options in Windows. Same thing with Macs. I wish it wasn't this way, but you have to be realistic.
There are three categories of knowledge you need to develop to do this successfully. 1. Static image creation / editing. 2. 3D modeling / animation. 3. Video compositing / editing.
Don't, don't, don't neglect any of these categories. Specifics within the categories are not as important as the categories themselves.
However...
1. Static image creation / editing:
Photoshop is the 800 pound gorilla. If you don't photoshop (yes, I used it as a verb) you're starting with a disadvantage. If you want, though, you can use CorelDraw / PhotoPaint or even PaintShop Pro if you're feeling stingy.
2. 3D modeling / animation
Two entirely different skills that often use the same software. 3D Studio Max or Lightwave are the biggies here. SoftImage is good but expensive. Don't even think about character animation at this stage. By the time she's ready for it, she'll know what to do. The cheap products in this category aren't worth considering.
3. Video compositing, editing
Adobe AfterEffects for compositing / 2D animation is the heavy hitter in this category. Video editing software has really opened up lately, so it doesn't matter so much what you use now. Different people have different preferences. Premiere, VegasVideo, etc. will work just fine.
Since men have a both an X and a Y chromosome, men are better at phYsiX. Lacking this, women are better at phXsiX, which isn't a real science (in America anyway).
Here's how to set it. Keep pushing the resolution higher and higher until you can see the breast-enlargement scars. Then shift back one.

if it's so easy to lift one foot, raise one arm, reeeeaaaaaaal slow, why does it seem so hard for me to get a human student to do it without falling right over?
Is this a riddle? I know! Because you only teach one-legged students.
Ok, of all the things you can get a robot to do.. tai chi? Geez, Loueez that's lame! What are they thinking? "Let's make a robot that moves reeeeaaaaal slow."
Lift one foot.
Raise an arm.
Even when I was a kid I had a toy robot that had machine guns shoot from its chest. Now that's a robot! At least make it a girl robot and have it do yoga or backbends or something.
Hey, is that a mini Linux-distribution, small enough to fit on a CD-ROM that has been cut, pressed, or molded to the size and shape of a business card in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

The word you're looking for is "normal".
You stupid hillbillies!

I know the name of my logical fallacy. It's called "lame joke".
I gotta say, this is one of the dumbest names ever.
Here we are folks, watch Animatrix starring.... the Animaniacs! Or maybe The Matrix sequel should have been called Cinematrix.
this is just cheeeeezy
All of these are part of the design of the system, not missing features.
ha ha ha - That's what I tell my boss too. No undo button? Yeah, mmmm, that's part of the system. Yeah, that's the ticket!

From the article:
A federal court has ordered Microsoft to produce more than 300 boxes of evidence to support its claims in a trademark suit
Shouldn't be too hard. I, myself, probably have 300 boxes of Windows sitting around.
After I get all excited doing this, where can I ... ahem ... insert myself?
I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you! To find bad grammar at /. indeed!
Agreed, this is pointless.
Anyone that's ever been buggered knows that you can never be debuggered.

A--You can unscrew a lightbulb.
