As I teach a web design class at the Cleveland Institute of Art, I know what you're saying is nonesense. There are plenty of "Institute of Art" schools who teach web design to n00bs based on good industry practice.
You just need to check out the class before hand and talk to the instructor. Part of the problem the institutes have is that the pay is low compaired to doing actual design for the same amount of hours. If you want a class that's about clean and usable design tell the school, they always take potential student feedback into consideration when creating new classes and filling teaching positions.
It was a buffer overflow that allowed the hack that was exploited to unlock the phone in the first place. If Apple didn't fix it, people would be complaining Apple had lax security.
Why is anyone surprised Congress would be hushing this up? If the companies get sued for huge sums, then where will they get money to bribe congressmen?
Sounds great, but what are the odds that the average citizens in Ache or any of the other poor areas affected by the tsunami could afford the bottle.
On the other hand, it sounds great for places like in Tokyo where you'll need a water cleaning kit for the big one. People will still have plenty of access to water in the form of Tokyo Bay and the rivers, but nothing clean enough to normally drink. It would have to be better than the current stratergy of leaving filled bottles of water outside houses and in local parks.
If you could actually find a company to release movies in that format you might have a good plan. If they really want to sell this thing they'd make it play HD-DVD and Blueray.
If you used a megaphone it's most likely the cops would arrast you for interfering with someone else's right to free speech. At least that's what they threatened to do to me when I yelled "shut up" at them.
Now, if you're talking about the right-winger's black vans, the police would just laugh at you as the right-wingers beat the crap out of you.
Oh, great so what are we going to do when all of the illegal Transformers from Cybertron come over the boarder looking for farm work? This is just swapping one illegal for another.
I'd just like to point out as an American living in China I've never been required to tell the government where I plan to travel other than to tell them where I work, but that was only to get my visa. When I want to go on trips I just take off. I've never had a waiting period to buy plane or train tickets.
Premiere? Well first off, it is available for the Mac, secondly Adobe stopped making it for the Mac for a while because Premeire has always been a low-end program for prosumers and multimedia professionals.
Only low end shops use Final Cut? So do you consider:
The BBC
CNN
David Fincher
The Washington Post
Pixar
Weta
ILM
small shops? Cold Mountain and Lost in Translation were cut solely on Final Cut Pro, and for compositing tools don't forget Shake is what Weta used to make the Lord of the Rings movies and King Kong.
Assuming you're talking about Japan and Korea, the reality of not getting into a good university there is very different from not getting into a good university in North America or Europe. While in the west it's possible to work your way up the corporate ladder it's virturally impossible in Japan unless you go to Tokyo U, Waseada, or Keio universites. In South Korea it's the University of Seoul. If you can't graduate from one of these you'll be stuck in middle management hell all of your life.
These countries have very strong seniority based promotion systems which means the rung you start out on will determin how far up you can go. Parents are desperate to give their children any advantage so they send kids to these cram schools even though the kids never learn much of practical value. Try communicating with a Japanese or Korean in English. No problem if you're reading and writing, but try having a conversation and all you'll get is blank stares. Why? Because these cram schools only teach written English that will be on enterance exames.
Cram schools sound nice, but provide little in the way of actual education. I used to teach in one so I know.
Yesterday I was watching the Saturday morning talk shows here in Tokyo and they were talking about it. One of the commentators actually said, "In English that word means piss, why didn't they just name it kuso("shit" in Japanese)?!" All the other hosts laughed and agreed.
I understand you didn't ask for it, but without QuickTime you can't have iTunes. iTunes is just a pretty XML based interface for QT. All the music and videos are played via QT.
You can play AIFF files and get yourself a good pair of Sennheiser headphones. That's about as good as you're going to get if you want to listen to music on the go.
You guys must have some really crappy navi systems in the US if this is a problem. I've rented plenty of cars in Tokyo, had no idea how to get where I was going, but the navi got me safe and sound, and no going the wrong way down a one-way street. Almost all new cars in Tokyo come with a navi system because it's almost impossible to find where you need to be on a map.
Here the maps are even updated in realtime to show you where construction is that day, where gas stations and eateries are. I hope when I get back something as good as what I can get in Japan is available.
What we need is scantron! Just require everyone bring their #2 pencils. As long as we can keep candidates and issues down to a maxium of four possible choices per question everything will work out. You've never seen the SAT people worrying about receipts or hanging chads.

So then you're saying Mexicans will go through Belgum to get to America??? That doesn't sound efficient.........

Sure, I can see the NFL doing this, but are cops really going to go to churches and bust people for it?
Yes, you will and you'll have to stand in the foreigner line instead of going through the Japanese citizens' line.
Yes, it'll be released in 6 months and come in a 2 pack with Duke Nuke'em Forever

Pdeople are probably too embarrassed to use them in public.

Interesting, but Tolkien in many places, says he hates allegory so I don't know how that stacks up.
Were .mp4 files around back in 1997?

In the US maybe. In Japan the DS is still more popular and has a much wider varity of games than the PSP.
