  1. They did a study at NASA? on Baboons Learn To Identify Words · · Score: 1

    I was wondering why all those screens were set up.

  2. Re:Most beer is too cold already on Coming to an Ice Cream Shop Near You: Soft Serve Beer · · Score: 1

    Clearly you have never been to Mexico. A place where the local climate is not an unending variation of cloudy with showers.

  3. Re:Kirin's not bad on Coming to an Ice Cream Shop Near You: Soft Serve Beer · · Score: 2

    I used the one on Homebrew Chef (halved the recipe... what would I do with 10 gallons of 120m other than eventually get arrested?), substituted my wife's hops for the Amarillo.... also I own the cheapest oxygenation kit I could find.

    www.homebrewchef.com/120minuteIPArecipe.html

    I think it is going to be awesome. Warning this recipe is a commitment, and by far the most advanced I have yet attempted. There are some nice (and easier!) 90 minute clones out there as well. Also over at Hopville there is a nice all grain (Great Divide Brewing Company) Titan clone I am itching to try.

    Long live the hops!

  4. Re:"....but what about real beer" on Coming to an Ice Cream Shop Near You: Soft Serve Beer · · Score: 1

    Any beer that didn't originate in North America I would suspect (but then again Samuel Adams has fairly decent offerings).

  5. This doesn't stand a chance on Coming to an Ice Cream Shop Near You: Soft Serve Beer · · Score: 1

    Against my horde of snobby homebrew buddies.

  6. Re:Guiness on Coming to an Ice Cream Shop Near You: Soft Serve Beer · · Score: 1

    Well when I crossed to pond and visted the Guiness Storehouse (a vast marketing ploy, very little actual brewing) at the Sky Bar they served Guinees "Extra Cold" served at 33 degrees F (curious why they used F).

    So it would appear the Guiness doesn't always agree with you,

  7. Re:Kirin's not bad on Coming to an Ice Cream Shop Near You: Soft Serve Beer · · Score: 2

    At about $10 for a 12 OZ bottle, you would be a fool to freeze your 120 minute.

    I love Dogfish, but that this just a bit ridiculous.

    As an avid homebrewer, I have a 120 minute clone that is about to go into secondary (I used some of my wife's home grown hops!) I suspect it will be much better.

  8. Do what you love and to hell w/ these aholes on Ask Slashdot: Advice For Budding Scientist? · · Score: 1

    Seriously.

    >> You realize that murder has a legal meaning right?

    I would suspect that was the entire reason for the parent post.

  10. Re:Error My Ass on NBC Apologizes For Editing Zimmerman 911 Call · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In pre-fat ass America, that size was considered on the thin side of normal.

  11. Basically a battery on Generating Alcohol Fuels From Electrical Current and CO2 · · Score: 1, Informative

    That is light, easier to manufacture, easier to transport.

  12. Re:ProxyCommand is teh awesome on Getting the Most Out of SSH · · Score: 1

    Much nicer than a reverse ssh tunnel!

  13. Re:What about people who don't have Facebook accou on Facebook: Legal Action Against Employers Asking For Your Password · · Score: 1

    How the fuck all is this modded as Off Topic?

    I don;t have a FB acct either... and I have NEVER seen this question answered in more than an off the cuff "they'll think your lying and/or antisocial" manner.

  14. Re:National Security Exception on Facebook: Legal Action Against Employers Asking For Your Password · · Score: 1

    If you have or need a security clearance, having a Facebook account at all seems like a huge liability.

    And THAT is why he was fired.

    Probably the US, even extrapolating current economic trends.

    However when you throw in the impending collapse of the Chinese real estate bubble....

  21. I (honestly) do not have a Facebook account on Why Making Facebook Private Won't Protect You · · Score: 0

    Just Linked In. Do I not get a job?

    (Seems that if you are over 30 and have a Facebook account, it calls into question your maturity anyway, no need to actually look at your profile.)

    Without the bomb, WWIII would have certainly resulted in the USSR's utter destruction.

    The bomb saved the USSR.

    "Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand" is incredible.
