my highschool had suh poar security on teachers computers not to mention the hole network. nothing like letting the kids play with their grades or poking fun at others.
Is anyone else thinking that this guy could have had one of his IT people build a laptop/desktop with linux based stuff (free and open) for this? Without shelling out top dollar for an Apple laptop?
I'm figuring he has better things to do with his time than download ISOs and configure a machine (which apparently has to be a laptop) and hope that he'll be able to do Powerpoint presentations with it.
Grammatically, your statement is incorrect. You say "Think different" since different is modifing your verb, you should use the adverb form, differently.
Historically, his statement is correct. 'Think Different' was the phrase used in Apple's advertising campaign a few years ago. The object is implied: Think different things. Just as if I'd asked you for a big box, you asked "How big?" and I said "Think large."
Remember kids, friends don't let friends use improper grammar.

I know this is heresey, but I don't think that The Castle of Cagliostro stands up with Miyazaki's best work.
I agree with you here. You can tell that this was a Miyazaki episode of Lupin, but that he may not have put as much of his heart into it as he would have one of his original stories.
For me the definitive Miyazaki scene is in Tonari no Totoro, when they're at the bus stop, and Totoro shows up. That moment when they're standing there in the rain, and she loans him her umbrella. There's so much that's good in that moment -- wonder, kindness, etc. -- and it all fits together perfectly.
For me the definitive Miyazaki scene is in Nausicaa when she is first given Teto. Teto bit into Nausicaa's finger out of fear and she remained calm, calming Teto in the process and proving to Teto that she could be trusted absolutely.
Film Gimp (now SinePaint) has been used in tons of major motions pictures, such as the following:
Scooby-Doo, Harry Potter, Cats & Dogs, Dr. Dolittle 2, Little Nicky, Grinch, Sixth Day, Stuart Little, Planet of the Apes, Showtime, Blue Crush, and The Fast and the Furious II.
Absolutely. I've lost count of how many times I've heard a pit orchestra repeat an intro or phrase while the soloist 'caught up.' That's what makes live events worth attending. Otherwise, I'll watch a highly edited performance in my own home.
ball-shaped musical toys which are covered with 'a patented thread containing sensors that react to the way the child handles them. The child manipulates a preprogrammed "little seed" of music and helps it "grow" by the way he or she shapes it.
I'm glad the words 'child' and 'musical' are in that statement, otherwise it would be really NSFW.
Sure, they make a living sometimes, but most of the time they don't.
Band's tour for two reasons: They love to play music, and they want to promote the sales of their albums.
Tickets cost $200 sometimes because people are willing to pay it. If you can sellout a show at $20/ticket, then why not charge $30 (etc. etc.) and it grows from their. The money just gets spent making the show bigger, brighter, and louder.
The costs for putting on a concert are staggering. Just the local labor alone can be as much as $10,000 (or more) for an event. It costs $2/mile/truck to send the show down the road. Each truck. Each bus.
Why do you think some bands accept corporate sponsorship for their tours? Many (well-known) bands would lose money trying to tour if they didn't have the sponsorship money.
Merchandising? By the time the venue gets their 20%; the sales company gets their cut; the designers, manufacturers, etc. get their cut, there isn't much left for the band.
Touring and playing live where most musicians really make their money.
No it isn't. Do you know hom much it cost to put on a concert? Do you realize how many people not associated with the band (local stagehands, the venue, local advertising, the sound, lighting, etc.) have their fingers in the pie?
Unsigned bands probably make more money from live events, in the long run, as they keep production costs down to a minimum.
Why is the negotiating position of these bands so weak that they end up with such a shitty deal?
Because they are living in their car/van/truck.
Because they are playing local clubs for $200/night (divided amongst all the band members, crew, and music store where they bought the gear on credit.)
Because they see nothing but dollar signs when some guy in a suit comes to see them play.
Because they'll do anything to get away from that day job at Burger King.
Because they don't know that a lawyer's advice can be a valuable thing sometimes.
If someone's waving the temptation of fame&fortune in front of you, would you be able to think straight?
But I was pondering the "Here are his questions and here are your answers" and was just still wondering who's answers and who's questions was it again?
The questions were given to him. The answers have been given to us. Yes, I'm a smartass.
I won't go into the GPL ramifications of the QnA transaction at this time.

Hey, you're right! Much better that is.
Every piece of hardware (computer, automobile, etc.) ever created has stories like this attached to it.
Ah, nevermind.
Women think that way too, BTW.

Okay, I'm just being pedantic. It's a good point.

Impressive though, I suppose.
I think I'll go shower now.

Sorry to hear they couldn't make it.
