BMI works fairly well for evaluating large populations, because people with high BMI but low percentage body fat are statistically countered by people with low BMI but high body fact. It’s pretty deeply flawed for individuals, though.

It’s just Industrial Light and Magic at Letterman. Pixar is in Emeryville, and the rest of Lucas Film is on Skywalker Ranch.

Anyone new to 3d should stay far away from RenderMan. It's a great program if you have a very deep knowledge of rendering algorithms because it gives you very fine control, but by the same token, if you're not an expert it's extremely difficult to use well. Unless you are, or aspire to be, a lighting TD at a mid to…

I'd hesitate to call anything involving RenderMan easy. It's designed for use by dedicated rendering TDs at mid to large sized studios. It's powerful, but it's very, very fussy.

In practice, I'd imagine (for example) people are more likely to missuse a condom during their first couple years of having…

You'll definitely want more than 4 GB of RAM for Photoshop and Vegas. Beyond that, the 300 dollar machine should be usable, but you'd definitely notice the difference if you got the 600 dollar build. I'd recommend waiting.

Does anyone have any source on flossers being less effective? The American Dental Association seems to approve of them.
