Disney does not give out that info.

Well in box office alone it's over $1.3 billion globally, so I would estimate it's at least $2.5 billion across everything.

There's not a chance in hell the box office total is more than 10% of the overall total.

You can't. Your best option is to wait for it to actually come, and then be ready to move to whatever part of your area actually gets the service installed.

Whoever owns the house? If that is you then why are you asking anyone? Or are you worried about fir risk or something?

I have seen plenty of people do it so I am sure it can be done without interfering with the fireplace chimney and such.

It's my girlfriend's place. Since she won't loving call anyone I'm doing it because I want to watch TV straight ahead, and not look to the right where she has the TV awkwardly placed on her dry bar.

I was asking from a technical standpoint, not for permission.

She will thank me for what I've done, when it's done

Are you worried about the heat from the fireplace damaging the TV? Or are you worried about somehow loving up the flue by drilling in for anchors?

Hi, I can't use my volume up/down keys (useful when playing) on my laptop (asus), because they're tied to my F11 and F12 keys. Any way to switch from the Function keys to the volume keys?

F11 puts on widescreen mode and F12 does a weird thing on the bottom of the page. I want to change them to up and down the volume (like the symbol says).

Do you not have a special keystroke to use the volume function? Laptops with dual-function keys should have keystrokes, such as [fn]+F12, for example.

What exactly is the difference between using the same password on several websites and having all passwords saved behind a single password in a password holder thingy? Shouldn't they be just as unsafe as someone just needs to break one of your passwords to access all of your stuff?

I guess it's not good if someone hacks into facebook and steals your password for your email if they're the same. Is that it?

Correct, if you use a different password for every site, then if there's a data breach it will only affect your data on that site, for one.

Also I use two-step verification for my password manager, so you would need to know my password to that AND access to my cell phone to get into that.

From a code standpoint, I have this (though the fireplace is gas if it makes a difference) and was told that it's not a problem as long as I don't have any wires running behind the fire place.

Are guys in a band paid the same or there's a hierarchy? Like the singer gets more followed by the guitarist/s then so on? Does the audience impact factor into it too, like say Chris Martin (Coldplay) gets a higher share?

Also, do you take home more money as a 2 or 3 piece group as opposed to a regular sized band since there's theoretically less money to split?

lifeiskillingme, in terms of puncturing the flue liner with the anchors, is there a brick chimneypiece, or is the chimney behind wallboard/Sheetrock? If it's the latter, and if she has a metal liner, you can probably suss out where it is with a stud finder and avoid it.

Also, if your gf doesn't know what kind of a liner she has, her chimney sweep will.

My internet stops working and I have to re-boot my cable modem. That was happening every couple weeks, but is now happening every day. It is especially likely to happen when you are doing a big upload/download. Time for a new cable modem, or do I have to call and speak to the phone jockey at the cable company?

Possibly related but I don't think so...

I'd been using CyberDuck for ftp for years. Recently I got a new iMac and installed CyberDuck again (I probably never upgraded the old version on the old mac, so it's a newer version) and it has a bunch of new features. It likes to remind me a LOT that I'm not on a secure connection to ftp. When uploading large files (this is how I sometimes deliver video to clients) it uploads the whole file, then freaks out a bit, then overwrites the file with something that is 0 bytes and errors out.

What's going on here?

It couldn't hurt to call them up and have them talk you through some troubleshooting, because it is possible that the modem is fine. It probably is the modem though.

All depends. As an example, everyone in Nirvana got an equal share when Nevermind was released ... but after a couple years, Cobain said "Hey, I do (and did) the majority of the song writing, I should get a bigger share." From what I've read, the other two members were fine with the new arrangement for future work, but Cobain wanted it to be retroactive.

There seems to be some sort of residue on the inside (you can't see it in the picture) and I have no idea how to get in there to wipe it. I've put dishwashing liquid and hot water in there and swirled it around, but that doesn't seem to have worked.

Let it sit w some solvent inside. Get a bottle brush and bend it if need be.

Depending on the residue try dry salt first, pour a bunch in and swill it around. If that (slightly abrasive) doesn't work get a bottle brush and bend it to suit.

I'll use the band Stone Roses as an example: words/music by brown/squire. Those two get a bigger percentage of profits from record sales and redistribution than the drummer and bass player, because they wrote the songs. They will almost certainly share equally any profits from gigs and merchandise. Audience impact affects number of groupies and nothing else, in most cases.

Any session musicians will be paid only for their time unless they wrote part of a song like that sax player from baker street.
