This is about maintaining quality in ice cream. As someone else pointed out, most of the heat shock (melting/refreezing) that occurs in ice cream is on your drive home and in your freezer at home. After freezing under agitation, only about half of the water content of the ice cream base is frozen, but the number of ice nuclei is the highest it will ever be. Under second stage quiescent freezing these crystals just get larger as the percentage of liquid water approaches zero. All temperature fluctuations above about -20F contribute to the degradation of these ice crystals into larger crystals. All of the solids in the base help inhibit this process, especially stabilizers such as locust bean gum and guar gum. These anti-freeze proteins serve a similar purpose to traditional stabilizers. Ice Cream is not a high profit margin industry, and any advances in maintaining quality are good overall.
No, since we're talking about Texas, the best possible situation would be the bill just dying out; that's what happens to the majority of bills in the Texas Legislature, because of the sheer volume of legislation introduced.
Agreed. There are also three or four people sitting there waiting to help you if you have problems or questions with the ballot. If you've been voting all your life, you should know that you *can't* vote for multiple people for president, and your ballot just gets thrown out if you do.
Olivier (who is a pretty cool guy, btw) didn't reinvent the wheel with XFce...Although I don't use it regularly (not much for CDE) it's a powerful, small (last I heard the source fit on a floppy) gtk-based WM for people who like a CDE-style interface. This is by far *not* a replacement for GNOME/KDE; it's a solid wm that fills the needs of CDE-loving linux users.
Personally, I'm sitting here with a 2x4 giggling wildly. Of course, I do this all the time, but it has more of an effect tonight... At least my boss reimbursed me for the beer I brought into the office...Maybe I'll go downstairs and laugh at people (I'm in the middle of downtown Austin.)
I agree completely..I've lived here my entire life, and I hate watching the city becoming more and more cookie-cutter...I preferred Austin ten years ago...(my Dad preffered it twenty years ago.) I nearly cried when Lynn closed Desert Books...Now I'm stuck with Book People or ordering them online. The problem is, the same people that went to California early on b/c it was so great, and then subsequently drove it downhill, are now doing that to Austin...Everybody go home! I don't need any more people in line at Kerby on a Friday night...
I've found that strings works really well for getting content out of a Word Document (Of course, it's usually followed by bitching out the person who sent me a Word doc in the first place.)
Come on - he laments the fact that he can't stand around the office water cooler? Is it obvious only to me that if everyone were out of the office they'd gather for meaningless conversation in some other forum?
In our office, we've got an in internal IRC server that we use a lot when we're working from home. Of course, it only gets used by the developers, but we do tend to get a lot of communication done through it. The trick is to use the Internet as a supplementary tool. My boss knows to email me before he calls, even though I have a cell phone. (I guess he's seen me pop the battery off the back when someone I didn't want to talk to was calling.;) If I've got a question for a co-worker, I check in IRC-land before calling him/her. I could WORK for days from my apartment, sitting in front my my monitor with my cat trying to type for me, and sometimes I do. However I have no desire to re-route all of my functions through my computer.
Personally, I'd use Xvnc for this...I like to keep the same xchat session running when I leave work and go home, so I run it in a vnc session. (We have an internal IRC server for communication between the techies.)
I actually got bored with the basic black of my old Thinkpad 701CS (which I pretty much only use for checking my email while traveling) so I taped up all the orifaces, and took a can of rustoleum hammered metal finish spray paint - and now I have the only metallic 486 with a butterfly KB that I've ever seen.;)
Possibly if there was a total ban on kids going into internet cafes, I would see your point, but as it stands, it's like saying that the library is censoring access to books because it closes at the end of the day.
Although I don't know about Phillipino schools first hand, I would think that in a community chock full of internet cafes the schools would have at least moderate internet connectivity. It's unfortunate that your American public school was under-connected; mine wasn't, and it's been my experience that most aren't. But that's all beside the point; the curfew isn't about the man keeping kids away from technology; it's about kids needing to be in school during school. the fact that this curfew is targeted at internet cafes is irrelevant; it could just as easily have been video arcades...but that wouldn't have shown up on/. (As has been pointed out by other posters.)
OK, so school kids aren't allowed to go into Internet cafes around school hours due to problems with drug dealers...Is this really such a terrible thing? it seems that if kids need to use computers during these times, they could use the ones at school. If they need a computer outside of school badly enough for the two or three hours a day that the curfew and school don't overlap, get a part-time job. This isn't some human rights violation
I don't think I'd want to try a browser based office suite until Linux has a solid browser. No, Netscape isn't solid. It hasn't run Java properly since 4.08. And don't get me wrong, I download and compile Mozilla Milestones with everyone else, but they still haven't released a stable product yet. Being the only person with a linux workstation it our whole shop is great, until Netscape starts doing bizarre file caching things with pages I'm working on, and everyone snickers and tells me to view it in IE... Oh well, I still use latex+XEmacs for generating documents anyway...;)

overthrowing the government is only illegal if you fail.
Yeah, since there's no way a woman could be that wealthy herself...
Why does this remind me of the aggie joke about finding whiteout all over your monitor...

Actually, I know people from Wisconsin that say 'a boot'...which is close enough to Canada for me...

Not just sarcasm, but simple fallacy. Context (and non-sensicality) has to play a major role in refining things like that.

I think 'prior art' would be an issue at that point...
