Er what? Are you saying that Pixar didn't actually make Toy Story? Is that what you are saying?
Steve Jobs taking credit for Toy Story even though he had nothing to do with project than own the company. The animators should have presented at SIGGRAPH.
Nonsense. I provided a very insightful comment (attention, mods!), a link to a book that I've personally read that is relevant, and a YouTube link with Steve Jobs at SIGGRAPH. You're not obligated to click on any of the links.
Don't you have some lusers Windows laptop to fix? I can just imagine the reactions on their faces when they realize it's creimer coming to fix their computer. They're going "oh god, not the smelly fat fuck that's full of himself. Please tell me he's not going to try to sell me his crappy book again."
1) I don't do break fix.
2) I wear Old Spice.
3) None of my coworkers know about my ebooks or websites, as they're not my intended audience.
Up until Toy Story, Pixar made its money from licensing Renderman..
Pixar burned holes in the pockets of George Lucas and Steve Jobs. IIRC, Renderman was a $30,000 computer for a niche market. Pixar even did TV commercials for a while. They weren't financially successful until Toy Story came out.
The NeXTcube was apparently so very nonviable that Tim Berners-Lee used one to invent the World Wide Web.
The NeXTcube cost $10,000. That's $7,000 more than what Steve Jobs promised the universities that were supposed to be his customers. Tim Berner-Lee worked at CERN that could afford $10,000 workstations.
When did he take credit for anything at Pixar except funding it for the initial 10 years?
According to "The Second Coming of Steve Jobs" by Alan Deutschman, when Steve Jobs presented Toy Story at SIGGRAPH 1995, an industry group that he has no affiliation with. The animators, who were affiliated with SIGGRAPH, had to watch from the backstage. Steve Jobs funded the second decade of Pixar after purchasing it from George Lucas.

Not sure where you're getting your numbers. Amazon Affiliate has a variable commission from 0% to 10%. I get eight cents on a box of crayons to $35 on a table saw.
Not quite. Steve Jobs built Apple. NeXT burned through investor's money without producing a viable product, and would have failed if Apple haven't bought the OS for Mac. Pixar was a company he bought off from George Lucas, who needed cash after his divorce, that burnt through his money until Toy Story came along, and then took credit for something he had almost nothing to do with..
According to "Hatching Twitter: A True Story of Money, Power, Friendship, and Betrayal" by Nick Bilton, Jack Dorsey did a complete Steve Jobs transformation by adopting a daily uniform (white shirts and black pants), quoting Steve Jobs and listening to the music that Steve Jobs like. While he did return to Twitter to replace the CEO who replaced him as CEO, he comes off as a douche bag. Steve Jobs was an asshole but never a douche bag.
Then I make a shit load of money cleaning up their mess.
That's the very first lesson I learned when I started working in IT Support. If you're the guy who loves to clean up messes, there's always work to be done.
My paid internship came about because my roommate's work needed an extra QA tester but didn't have any money in the budget for a full time staff member. For six months I regressed 600+ old bugs, organized the storage closet, and wrote a 250-page manual. That started my technical career 20+ years ago.
But you also said you pay for coffee with Slashdot.
I wrote that I make "coffee money," which Eli the Computer Guy defines as $300+ per month since he drinks two cups per day. That has nothing to do with my personal coffee drinking. Although a high-end expresso machine would be a legitimate business expense.

RenderMan is software. It's not a computer. Perhaps you should shut the fuck up about things you know nothing about.
What part of IIRC don't you understand?
I mean you could have at least read the damn wikipedia page about RenderMan
It was the Pixar Image Computer. Like NeXT, Pixar went from being a hardware company to a software company.
I do even though I'm not a programmer or manager. I got a great view of the roofline. :/

that hippo is not a virgin
Not sure why everyone keeps harping on the fact that I'm a virgin. I guess Slashdot has a lot of cherry poppers.

A man of your age and vast experience has used them, yes?
Nope. My work experience has always been Windows on PCs, and occasionally Macs at more enlighten companies.

And look where you are now!
I'm the highest wage earner in my blue collar family — and the last one still living in Silicon Valley.
You must be a CenturyLink customer.
Worse, a Sprint customer for 20+ years.

I don't know why you think Republicans need to have money in the Senate?
Where are the appropriation bills? The budget should have been a done deal before the Republicans slink away for a five-week vacation.
Chris, we can work together right here and fix you.
No, thanks. I got fixed a long time ago.
Trump is quite happy with his life, career and side businesses.
Have you read his tweets? Six months in office and he still can't get 50 Republicans to rub two nickels together in the Senate. Sad.
Where was Trump mentioned?
The title from the Psychology Today article: "8 Ways to Handle a Narcissist". What's the biggest problem in Washington? Narcissist in Chief Trump.
Trying to humanize the guy by understanding his mental health issues.
Not sure why you keep comparing me to Trump. I'm quite happy with my life, career and side business.
