I've devised a perfect system that lets the general public decide what they hear/read:
1. Everyone reads the questionable material. 2. Who ever reads it and regrets it votes "I wish I hadn't read this." 3. Once all votes are in, they are tallied. 4. If a certain percentage of the votes were "I wish I hadn't read this," the material is censored.
Should be prepackaged with various popular plugins like Flash and Shockwave.
I've reccomended firebird to all of my windows-using, non tech-savvy friends and they love it, but they wouldn't have done it without my encouragement because it was such a pain to redownload so many plugins.
People are lazy. Lazy people buy(in the loose sense of the word, since the software's free) convenience.
High quality images are good for PR, but what I really want to know is how it extracts information from the environment, how this information is being used, and whether or not we found anything we didn't expect to find.
I phrased the conclusion to that comment badly; the comment was written in 3 minutes between classes. What I meant to say was that until the layperson understand that the advantages of linux are worth the utter pain in the ass that is adapting to a new operating system, they will continue to use the inferior OS that they're comfortable with.
That being said,
You mean, until they *are* advantages to the layperson.
Linux is ready for the desktop market, concerning speed, power, and(almost) ease of use.
The major obstacle is that people stick with what they're comfortable with. Linux's office programs are just as good(if not better) than their windows equivalents, but everyone I know who uses Word will stick with it till they die, because they know it backwards and forwards(I got my friend, an author, running linux, and he loves it, but he made me get word to work on it via Wine).
I use openoffice(I dual boot and use openoffice in both XP and Linux), but only because I didnt want to shell out for word when i got my new computer.
People are comfortable with what they've been using in the past. Until the layperson can understand the massive advantages of using linux, they will stick to windows.
The move away from 2D implies that Disney may renew their contract with Pixar(Finding Nemo was one of the last, if not the last movie in the Pixar/Disney contract).
Hopefully Pixar won't be afraid of lacking the shelter of the Disney name(I seriously doubt Finding Nemo would have pulled in so much money had it not been a 'Disney' movie) and will break off to do their own thing. They're a great company with incredible potential.
It may not be social activity, but trying to say something informative/insightful/funny in the eyes of others every time you post is definitely an exercise in understanding people, and thus an exercise in social skills.
Professional photographers and serious hobbyists alike will use film until digital images can be shot, printed flawlessly, rescanned, reprinted, ad nauseum.
It may no longer be of practical use, but for art it's still got a long career ahead of it.

The movie will most likely be nothing like the series if Hideaki Anno doesn't direct it. He is the source of a lot of the series' bizarreness.
That's not to say it won't be good. It'll just be a different work of art than the series.

My box is located in my bedroom, and I have an assload of fans.
I recently discovered that I can't sleep without the computer running. I actually find the noise pleasant.
I wouldn't shell out 1400 bucks for insomnia.

I dunno about you, but I'd prefer mine to not be broken.
There are better choices than Mars...
For example?

Shh, don't tell anyone.
This is what you should do.
It's a shame that a pure freedom-of-information legal system would never work, because this is disgusting.
Or you could chose an alternative here. Considerably more options.

I'm more like the Oracle of Fraggle Rock, only I'm male and I'm not made of garbage.
