Intel Announces New, Slower, Chip

kshkval writes "According to Business Week, Intel is marketing the Centrino, a 1.6 Ghz chip that is slower than previous laptop processors from Intel, but does more. Hey, isn't that what Apple and AMD have gotten so much guff about? The worm turns..."

It looks like the impression that would be left if someone pressed their nekkid butt against a glass door. Does that kind of thing happen a lot in Oregon or something?

Uh-huh. So how, exactly, have the principles of fermentation changed over the past few thousand years?

Fermentation has changed as much--well, more, actually--as politics, language, or religion has changed.

Sure, the fundamentals are same--we all speak using groups of phenomes, we all have some of us making decisions for the rest of us, and we all wonder about what's out there--but there's a heck of a difference between Romulus and Remus and George W. Bush.

Oh, and incidentally, go and look up "zythum" somewhere. Roman beer (well ale, technically, but I don't expect a USian to be able to tell the difference).

It's American, Eurotrash. (Hey, you get to malign my country, I get to malign your free market.)

You respond to my posting of "wine and beer have changed" with a quip about the difference between Beer and Ale? Do I even need to respond to that?

Interchangeable parts, thermometers, and refrigeration have changed beer and wine as much as any other aspect of society.

Oddly enough, all the grand Age of Reason did to my religion was slap it back to where it was just after The Man died. "Beer and Wine don't change" indeed.

You've not answered my question. In what way has the basic idea of letting grape juicy go foosty and ferment changed? Have grapes changed? Has yeast changed? Is either fructose or ethanol different?

Ummmm... small problem. The oldest piece of human writing we have is a cuineiform tablet... with a recipe for beer on it. The Egyptian hieroglyph for "food" is a representation of two loaves of bread, and a pot of beer.

Beer was "heard of" way more than 2000 years ago. The recipe has changed quite a bit (hops were unheard of back then) but a fermented malt beverage has been a staple through most of human history.
