In whisky production in Scotland, they always keep the 'head' and 'tail' of the destilling, recycling them with the new whisky being produced. Whisky contains far more than just ethanol, but in so small amounts it's not very harmful. Last I went to Oban, north-western scotland, I was told it took years to build up the base of non-wanted spirits(heads and tails) that makes the whisky taste well.
Indeed. Just compare your normal 16YO Lagavulin with the double-matured Lagavulin (age not specified). the double-matured one is quite a bit heavier on the taste...
Take a look at http://skolelinux.org/ to see what can be done to create an elemtary school distro. It's installation friendly, somehow userfriendly (KDE 2) and has nice setups for thin-client environments.
...the biotope. Several places they've tried fiddling with nature to stop plagues, like in denmark, they spilt chemicals on small lakes to stop the mosquitos from sitting on it, drowning them instead. What happened? Small birds were dying, not having enough food. Also, in denmark, they tried to stop birds eating their apples from apple farms, pulling huge nets and shooting birds approaching, discovering the birds really didn't like apple, but the bugs inside them, resulting in a great production loss. And - also - a friend of mine is doing a lot of parachute jumping. They found out that the barn swallow living in the hangar were shitting on their chutes, and started to shoot the birds, resulting in a vast amount of flies and mosquitos etc etc etc. Perhaps not fiddle with nature after all?
I've been photographing for 15 years or so, and I still see people purchase a nice Canon EOS 1v with a shitty 28mm/2.8 or something. What's important is:
- Get a decent camera
- Purchase one good, fixed focal length lens
- DO NOT use zoom until you know how to use at least one of the following (and have used it for 6 months+ alone): 35mm, 50mm, 80mm
is it just me, or is Microsoft having their own little inflation in languages? In the 'good old days' there were fewer languages, and a developer could use time to learn them, getting good at it. with microsoft's Visual Basic, some versions differ more than Pascal and C, then comes C# and now F#? What's next? After they're done with C,C#,D,D#,E,F,F#,G,G#,A,A#,B, perhaps the arabic scale will do... I'll stick with Q-Basic
A quick google for SPEC(int|fp)2000 values for Intel P4 (http://www.aceshardware.com/SPECmine/) shows the P4 3000's SPEC numbers are around 1200. So. What's so cool about this?
Well - IBM's bladecenter servers are _not_ based on the P3 designed for blades. AFAIK, it's based on 2.4GHz P4 cpu's _not_ designed to be put in blade servers. That is - at least not 28 of them in 7U;-P
But how can they say it's 'hacker proof'? RealNetwork is just another client software app, and it can play from disk as it can from the network. I dunno what codec it uses, but it's probably quite easy to convert to - say - MPEG-4.
I guess this is fine - yes - but what about the quality? I work in a company doing video-on-demand (VoD), and VoD in less quality than 2Mbps MPEG-4 isn't a good thing.
And... I'll love to see this 'hacker-proof' format of theirs. I bet a hundered dollars it's already creacked:-)
Perhaps this could be a better solution for communicating between sites down on earth as well. Today's microwave solutions may be cheeper, but they're really speed limited...
The comparison shows a total lack of knowledge about Windows systems. The way it's been put up, it says the only possible alternative of running Windows in a student environement is by using so-called thick clients.
The use of think clients (or smart displays, or whatever), using Windows 2000 Terminal Server, is possibly a far better alternative to the thick-client perspective.
That said, I'd say the Linux alternative is far cheeper anyway, but hey - Windows still have better software for the end luser.

Chipping wine is quite common in several countries, especially Australia. I guess it's quite common everywhere except central Europe
I don't know when you asked me that question, but the site is still up....

Point me to _one_ that works, and I'll beleive you

Have anyone seen the changelog?
The only thing I can find at ftp.kernel.org
is the changelog for 2.2.19...
