Tandy/Radio Shack introduces a line of affordable home computers, and debuts a family-friendly operating system called TRS-DOS with such Rated-M-for-Mature commands as KILL. Other companies' versions of DOS substitute the less menacing DEL command, for Delete.
I think the analogy is entirely apt. Well prepared coffee contains many notes of flavor, blending with each other into a seamless whole. Sanka simplifies the flavor into one or two notes.
Now, if you don't like tasting the individual notes in your coffee and coffee is simply a source of caffeine, then Sanka's your beverage.
French press is probably the cheapest way to extract the flavorful oils in coffee, but it can result in a sludgy or gritty brew.
Controlled Environment? Pshaw. The best way to audition speakers is from across the store, with the volume turned up to "Maximum Quality". If a speaker starts dancing to its own music, and shaking its mount, then you know it's a good speaker.
CQ or Cadit Quaestio means "the spelling (or the simple fact) has been checked and double checked", so there's no need to check it again. As it was editorial markup, it should not have appeared in the published version of the story.
If something you mark as CQ later turns out to be wrong (because you haven't bothered to check), well that's egg on your face, isn't it?

14) By the law of the twelve tables at Rome, libels, which affected the reputation of another, were made a capital offense: but, before the reign of Augustus, the punishment became corporal only. Under the emperor Valentinian (364--375 CE) it was again made capital, not only to write, but to publish, or even to omit destroying them. Our law, in this and many other respects, corresponds rather with the middle age of Roman jurisprudence, when liberty, learning, and humanity, were in their full vigour, than with the cruel edicts that were established in the dark and tyrannical ages of the antient decemviri, or the later emperors.
The Nvidia Tesla offers IEEE 754 double precision floating point. It's essentially a headless graphics card programmed with CUDA. My guess is that the latest GeForce and Quadra do as well, but I'm too lazy to dig around. Today's shaders are a lot more sophisticated than the ones on the GeForce 3.

But I had to go beyond the product literature, beyond what amazon offered me to find this little figure-- which might be high, it might be low.
Multiply this research process by 20 or 30 models and a customer starts to question their "responsibility" to the environment-- which means that the aggregate effect of "environmentally responsible television buyers" becomes rather small.
Is it really? Does anyone actually look at wattage when selecting a TV? I'd think it would secondary to size, features, resolution, color fidelity, contrast ratio, brand name, ergonomics and maybe audio quality.
Perhaps the pointed kitchen knife has a culinary purpose that we have failed to appreciate? We contacted 10 chefs in the UK who are well known from their media activities and chefs working in the kitchens of five leading London restaurants. Some commented that a point is useful in the fine preparation of some meat and vegetables, but that this could be done with a short pointed knife (less than 5 cm in length). None gave a reason why the long pointed knife was essential. Domestic knife manufacturers (Harrison-Fisher Knife Company, England, personal communication, 2005) admit that their designs are based on traditional shapes and could give no functional reason why long pointed knives are needed. The average life of a kitchen knife is estimated to be about 10 years.
I'm not enough an artist with the knife to judge whether my ten inch chef's knife really needs that point. However, the point on my five inch boning knife has come in handy, and I suppose it could work as an improvised weapon.
I strongly suggest that you stop trying to understand English from the outside and instead embrace and enjoy the language for what it is. Put down your computer and curl up with a book. Perhaps Twelfth Night?
I'm not sure that McDonalds and Coca Cola are that interested in one-time customers. I haven't bought a Coke or eaten at a McDonalds in quite some time.
Amazon's reputation is based on the illusion of choice. Customers believe that there's a chance that their local bookseller will not have an items, and so they go to amazon, and buy bestsellers from them. If Amazon were to strip down the inventory to match that of an airport bookstore, they might be able to sell to a sizable majority of its customer base without problems. But the remainder of its customers would probably be able to spread, through word of mouth that amazon should no longer be the bookseller of first resort.
Suppose you needed to do home repairs. If the Sears Hardware ad the Home Despot were both equally close, which store would you patronize?

It's just a word. Deal with it.
For some reason, I thought it was instant. Apparently, one can even get whole bean sanka, these days.

People should be used to hearing live music, but modern concerts don't even guarantee that.

Why, yes, yes it does. The Gramer Knotzees [cq] won't be bother me any moore [cq]!
I believe [sic] is more appropriate in this context.

It should be equally reasonable. After all, the state hasn't proven anything.
Is the effectiveness of conservative opinion substantially diminished by the mere presence of dissent?
I assume that by "safe" they mean no phishing, no viruses, no botnets, no trojan horses...
A proper DRM system would obtain date and time information from a known valid source.

Then it's settled. The scientists should find a US based journal in their field, and resubmit the paper.

Now if only they'd develop BOTH sugar-free and fat-free products. Oh well. One step at a time.
You could learn to cook.
here is a link to a Sony Bravia 32 inch TV on Amazon I don't know if it's a good TV, I don't know if it's a bad TV. It's a TV, chosen somewhat at random
The technical description is as follows:
16:9 HD 720p Resolution (1366 x 768 ) LCD Panel /NTSC tuner with QAM
HDMI Input
HD Component Input
PC Input
ATSC
If you expand the technical details, you'll find
Power
Power Requirements: AC 120V 60Hz
Power Consumption (in Standby): Less than 1W
AC Stay Off: Yes
Regulation and Standard Compliance:
Energy Star® Compliant: Yes
VESA® Hole Spacing Compatible: Yes
VESA® Hole Pitch: 200 x 200 mm
How much power is consumed during operation? I don't know.
The manual, however offers a clue
Power consumption in use: 155 W.

Sounds like the plot of a Fringe episode.
Of course it will. But can you receive those stations digitally now? Are you in their market area?
Those look like analogue stations. In 2009, they'll disappear, whiteband or no whiteband.
