not really though.
film is very expensive.
film must be taken very good care of .
and no you cannot " build a machine to project film out of junk". do you know how much film projectors cost? (hint a good lens alone, is over $5000,00.
also film, can mean a lot : 16mm, 35 mm, imax, which one are you talking about? which aspect ratio, which emulsion?
also, kodak announced they will stop producing film after 2010 (that limit may slide a bit). so no, no deal.
also "you can scan it if you want a digital image and when you have a better scanner (e.g. a higher DMax), you can just scan it again" everytime you convert from analog to digital or the other way you loose quality.
is the slideshow refresh speed suppoused to remind us how quickly these companies disappeared?

RCHI is suppoused to be an os.
using python. doesnt that sounds like a good break?
a "new" proigramming language for an os that wants to change everything... sweet
plenty of people giving you technical advice.
I assume you are not talking about web development, but web design, so her it goes:
webdesign is still design, so study to master the basics elements of design:
a) composition : creating balanced, interesting , beautiful layouts. study the grid system in depth and be aware of the latest trends (vector arrows and three million lines packed into a small screen). 'less is more': study minimalist.
b) typography: most content on the web is text .
learning how to make text look good (readable) is essential. get to know typefaces, their uses, combinations.
c) form: you dont have to draw, but the better you do, the less resctricted you will be on you designs.
d) color: color is paramount. there are tons of good materials on color. the best source is probably painting, painters know all about color. if you are willing to get your hands dirty, painting will give a great start into colors.
also, you will probably be working a lot with photography: dive into it. take a lot of pictures. learn darkroom techiques. the better photographer you are, at least you will be able to choose your photo material/ work more closely with photographers.
the best way to achieve all this is probably to study graphic design in general. there will be tweaks and differences from the web, but these are much easier to pick up once you have got a solid foundation. also , most webdesign study material is very poor on designs basic elements, so they are not a good source.
the things you can mostly ignore from graphic design is technical information regarding output and 'art closing' like pantone color matching, duotone printers, offset setting and stuff like that.
thats the static part, then study interactivity: acessibility, navigation, ui and you if you are feelling artistic all of john maedas work.

dont print, they puch cards...
sure. but you forget that, according to many /.ers microsoft is about to collapse, and who maitain it?

make their report available on a format other than a '.doc' file. it is known to change a lot and therefore not suitable for long term storage.

not really, even though it is an open format. some time ago there was an openlgx project that was suppoused to be an open source engine and ide:

but it didnt come through...
I do use a great open source actionscript ide written in python:

icq + neural interface == telepathy
think about it.
I can already hear that dreadfull sound when your buddy log..thinks in. gee
