Trivial Tuesday #4
A little late thanks to my internet connection...
Week 4:
1. Last week, Disney announced that they were buying Pixar. What was Pixar's first animated short, and where did it premiere?
2. Mozart's 250th Birthday was the 27th of January. What's his full name?
3. President Bush is going to ruin TV tonight. When was the first State of the Union Address given?
4. My broadband internet is extremely slow, making this entry painful to complete. How can I fix this?
5. The NFL recently decided to contribute $20 million to help repair the Louisiana Superdome. FEMA is providing $6.3 million to remove water damaged items. Estimated repair costs are $140 million, btw. Where did the New Orleans Saints play before the Superdome was opened in 1975?

1. Don't know the name, but I'd bet a dollar that it premiered at SIGGRAPH.
2. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
4. Kinda pricey, but you could order up some fiber or move. Alternatively, you could piggyback on your neighbor-of-choice's connection with a Pringles can antenna.

I won't take that bet becuase I want to keep my dollar.
Your answer for question 2 is an acceptable translation for 3/5 of his name. What's the rest? :)
When I hit the lottery, right after I start playing, perhaps I'll move AND get fiber. I'm not sure how much a cantenna would help me currently. Driving around the neighborhood didn't give me any wireless access points close to me. They are all in the front of the neighborhood. There is one close enough, but it's secured--I'll leave it at that.
