Personally, I make my coffee probably as simply as Taco does - boil 300 ml of water, and pour it through a Melitta #2 filter in the appropriate simple plastic cone. I use a standard stainless steel coffee measurer from Lechter's to measure out some Eight O'Clock 100% Colombian Coffee. This either goes into a travel mug for the journey to work, or my Tux Mug.
I was wondering, I have found Border's Mocha au Lait to be something of a taste of heaven, and was wondering if there is a similar item at Starbuck's - I haven't checked. It is coffee w/Mocha, and steamed milk - accounting for the needs of sweetness and smoothness.

Of course, this problem can be solved in a simpler way - just put your bootable drive in a drive shell, and switch a Linux shell out of your computer to M$ whenever you feel the need to run Whistler/XP.
I use these at work, and find them great for switching from Win98 to Win2k to WinNT to a different setup of Win98. While I don't know where my boss got our drive shells, a quick Google search turned up this site, whose shells appear similar to ours. If you're paranoid about data security, store it on a drive in one of these shells, and put it in a safe when you're not using it.
The Palm OS 4.0 page says that your Palm can now lock automatically when you turn it off. It just amazes me that it took them this long to implement just one of the many great features of TealLock. I've been using TealLock for the last two and a half years and it has had that feature the whole time. Additionally, it can simply hide your "hidden" files automatically when you turn off your Palm - do you really need to lock your Palm each time you turn it off?
Also, TealLock lets you simply use a shortcut to hide and show records while in any application (and the same applies to locking/unlocking), so you don't have to go into Palm Prefs, goto Security, choose "Show Records," and then return to the app you were in.
It seems to me that Palm still has a ways to go before they implement this. I had been hoping that they would put this in OS 3.5, but instead they put a little "visible hidden field" feature in. With TealLock activated, a friend of mine tried this feature on his Palm IIIx, and it screwed things up to the point that he had to wipe the Palm and HotSync the data back in. Palm should license the TealLock software, as it is clearly superior to any security software they produce.
Naturally after reading this story and the associated article, I decided to go to the Startrek.com site to see if they had viciously denounced the idea of "early-Federation Star Trek," but instead received, HTTP Error 403

Wow, Slashdot has taken down the Federation - yet another shift of power has occured in the Alpha Quadrant.
Has anyone ever tried to use AIM while logged in to AOL? AOL takes all the messages, even though it has an inferior Buddy List and messaging window. I prefer to use AIM, as it contains many features that AOL doesn't contain, such as Talk, Image transmission, and File Sending. In addition, I don't have to have the junk-filled AOL window occupying my entire screen to send messages.
The only successful way for me to use AIM on my computer while logged in to AOL is to use AOL version 5.0, and an older version of AIM, with my AOL Privacy Preferences set to block all messages. This is absolutely ridiculous! I also think that it is ridiculous that AIM has ads for AOL, even when you are logged in as a paying AOL customer - why try to market your customer for something that he or she already has?
While using AOL 6, and the latest version of AIM - the only one AOL 6 allows to run - the only way to use AIM is to log in to AIM under another screen name - that's my only alternative.
So before we begin to worry about AOL opening its messaging networks to other companies and networks, I think that AOL needs to bring unity to their own software.
I have had the same problems. It is ridiculous, I have a PIII 667, w/128 MB RAM and a Rage IIC 8MB 3D video card, but the game moves at a pitiful pace. The image refreshes about once per second, making it nearly impossible to steer well. It is a great looking game, and once I get the right sound and joystick drivers, I'll try it under Linux, with the hopes that it'll be better. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this sluggishness?
