You underestimate the Power of the Gates side of the Source, my young apprentice! All your plans have been foreseen and even now this fully operational hovercraft is approaching the traffic jam to intercept your foolhardy rebels in their vain attempt to resist the Empire!
We'll cut the armed convoy off at SR-520 when they cross the floating bridge across Lake Washington and free him! I'll go rent a canoe down next to Husky Stadium and we'll rendevous at the traffic jam near the wind sculptures and set him free, then we'll transport him to the Arboretum and escape via the Museum of History and Industry parking lot in a small biodiesel VW car a friend of mine has.
Who's with me?

No, fluorescent bulbs give you a different light. Great if you want that hospital/industrial look and prefer yellow-green skin tones.
I don't think you've been paying attention recently. Modern compact flourescent bulbs have coatings that deal with what you describe. I don't mean the long tubes that flicker all the time, but the little twisty ones that are the same size and turn on almost as fast as standard bulbs.
Those have pretty much the same spectra - personally, I like to keep a reading light as a standard incandescent bulb, or in areas with excessive vibration or power fluctuations beyond certain tolerances.
unless the outside air is ridiculously hot/humid, why not point the fan out the window and put the cooling coils where the resulting in-flow to the room occurs? that way the waste heat from the fan motor is not replacing some of the heat you have dumped into the cooling water.
In fact, what he's describing sounds a lot like one of those swamp pumps that you see in a lot of homes in the south, but with the heat generating parts stuck inside where they'll heat things up even more.

Because the whole system is corrupt? Have you ever compared the X edition with the X+1 edition? They generally just move the page numbers around and change some of the chapter questions.
For many courses, you're correct. I used to use the last year's textbook and check the library reference copy for any change in the questions for assignments most of the time, with a skim of the TOC and intro to see if any chapters were substantially different - most weren't for most courses.
But then you get my new field, Bioinformatics in the genetic biochem sphere, where literally last year's text is usually WAY out of date - I cheat and put in holds for new texts coming in to the library and read them the second they get in.
So it would depend on the course. But you do have a point about textbooks.

oh, and buy the compact flourescents in four-packs at a Home Depot, they tend to sell them around $2 or $3 a bulb, so you'll still be able to make the grades for your under $25 goal.
is just to replace the standard incandescent lightbulbs in your house with compact flourescent bulbs.
this will result in you using about 1/8 the electricity to get the same light, but drop the heat output from lighting - a major contributor to household heat - to virtually nil.
I used to have a problem in my new house with having to get a fan until I realized it was mostly heat from lights that was making it hotter than a normal open window breeze could cool. Then I replaced my incandescent bulbs (well, most of them) with flourescent bulbs and suddenly it was cool enough I didn't even need a fan at all.
Now, if the external temperature is above about 98 degrees Fahrenheit (30 C, I think), you may still need to do the water evaporator you describe, but the energy used by it will still be lowered by switching to compact flourescent bulbs for lighting.
Oh, and get a flat panel LCD monitor - that will save a lot of energy usage and heat output as well.
Save the fan to cool off your computer, not your room.
I prefer to look at it as what percentage of the hardware price I have to spend on software. For Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office, that percentage has been increasing steadily and dramatically over the past ten years.
Well, you can see that as a bad thing - or in the case of people who live in Seattle, we can see that as a good thing as the money pours into our region.
But, yeah, good point.

After Spirited Away, Miyazaki can coast for miles and miles before he has to buff up his laurels for an audience that hasn't seen the film yet. And yes, the English dub is the issue. Disney has so loaded the soundtrack with Big Names making minimal contributions (or negative contributions in the case of Crystal) that the Miyazaki direction and Diana Wynne Jones story are slimed under the dreck. yes, I'm the grikdog... in the gas mask.

Good point, after all Miyazaki's latest film, Howl's Moving Castle, just won the Fool Serious Award for Best Film at the Seattle International Film Festival (largest film fest in America, with more than 500 films, runs for five weeks) just this last weekend, and placed third at the Golden Space Needle awards.
So one could say it's the Best Film period.

Ditto with Microsoft Office, which includes Word, Excel and the like. The high-end version of Office 97, which was introduced eight years ago, went for $499; the most recent Office had the same price when it came out in 2003.
And during this time, the price of Open Office dropped from an astronomical price of $0 to the rock-bottom price of $0, even though the new version includes even more open source software than the older one has.
As you can see, while MSFT has been price-resistant, Open Office has slashed their prices dramatically, to keep up with PC pricing....
ain't statistics wonderful - I can say, truthfully, that the price for OpenOffice has dropped because it has no price. But in reality, it's price can also be viewed as being stable, since it increased from $0 to $0....
All the passholders voted for most-liked and Howl's Moving Castle was WAY up there at the Seattle International Film Fest - showing to record crowds and the tickets sold out even before the festival started showing films.

So, yes, it may be a harbinger of good future things, especially if the English dubbed version isn't censored from what I saw in the Japanese version with English subtitles.

ain't statistics wonderful - I can say, truthfully, that the price for OpenOffice has dropped because it has no price. But in reality, it's price can also be viewed as being stable, since it increased from $0 to $0.
And when it's $300 it's pretty much at the low end of the pricing curve.
It's taken years for PCs to drop enough - sadly, laptops aren't quite there yet, but may be in a couple of years.
Sure, all you have to do is lobby Congress to extend copyright indefinatly. If that isn't stealing from the public domain, I don't know what is.
A very good point indeed. That is a major fault, which can directly be tied to Disney.
However, the future of the animation studies has less to do with that issue and more to do with the watered-down stories they try to feed us.
