My parents just got broadband cable (thanks Time Warner - it's about time!) and I bought them a wireless router (D-Link). We're upgrading my wife's iBook to a 12" PowerBppl G4 and will give them her "old" one (less than 2 years). My dad uses it when he visits and loves the fact that he can sit in his undies in bed and do everything he did on his PeeCee.
Don't forget that the longer coffee beans are roasted, any coffee brewed from them will have less caffeine. Of course, darker roasted coffee tends to be more bitter and possibly more acidic (especially true of steam-brewed coffees, such as espresso). But, the tiny bit of acid and tannins in coffee is probably nothing compared to the damage done by caffeine (hey, I'm an addict - I live with it).
Crafting a nice pile of feces takes several more liters of water, both in the production of the feces (many digestive processes are hydro-based) and its removal down the sewers.
There are many interesting designs that take "unguided" tours of terrain. These include the "tumblers" like the one pictured, as well as a number of "glider" or "floater" designs. The gliders are basically "hover around over a spot and go where the winds take you" approach. They often have a *little* bit of navigation capability (but are mostly at the mercy of winds). The balloon idea is pretty smart. Basically, attach a bunch of sensors along a serpentine "spine" that is attached to a helium balloon. During the day, the balloon warms up and the rover flies to a new destination (wherever the winds take it). Sensors useful in the air (radar, atmospheric, etc.) take over. At night, the helium cools and it touches back down. Sensors useful on the ground (spectrometers, RATs, etc.) now fire up. Brilliant idea because of the simplicity and cost effectiveness.
This guy has consistently beat the crap out of Apple management over waste. Order fulfillment has never sunk to (pre-Jobs) bad levels. Their products are competitively priced, and they sure are cool. Innovation abounds. None of this would be possible if Apple were still hemorrhaging money.
This is too funny. The funny thing is that it gets \.ed. I mean, the guy is a kook. He's right about a lot of anti-goobermint stuff, but he's still a kook.
Oh, yeah. There are no RFID tags in money.
BRU is a good idea for multi-Unix sites

BRU LE for Mac OS X

BRU is one of the commonly-available utilities for various flavors of Unix. If it works for your other platforms, having your X boxes on it makes sense.
Now, what's with all the Retrospect bashing? It works great for us and has been getting better every quarter or so. It's certainly a lot easier to use than most Unixy backup/recovery utilities, even under Linux and Solaris, which we use it with.
That's why OUR sky is blue, silly!

It's obvious they used the Safari render engine. Very cool idea.
Tiny little SCO is about to get raped. This ought to be fun.
Best thing IBM could do is OWN SCO (as settlement for their legal fees), then license Unix for free...
We have a Concealed Handgun Law. Is that an iPod in my pocket, or a Desert Eagle .50?
You know, it's gotta have as bright a future as IT these days...
How many times are people going to dig up 3D as a means to reinvigorate their platforms?
The ONLY development that will bring 3D to the forefront is 3D PR0N!
Sure, we may not agree on the cost, yet. But I have yet to hear arguments for the benefit. Thus cost/benefit can never be determined, so why bother?
I want it beamed straight to my iPod, or I'm not interseted.
for all the pr0n!
Man, don't go in the bathroom! I just "extruded a house."
I sent one here.

The University of Texas has been filtering infected systems at the border routers for over a year now. It helps immeasurably.
The best filter is to eliminate Windows. Install Linux. Better yet, swap that silly Dell for a Mac!
Thank you for being pedantic.
Yes, steam is like >400F. No, that's not true steam coming out of the Mr. Espresso Jr. But, most people recognize it as such.

Any physician who would use such a list is not a physician I would ever seek a consult with. Please put me on that list...

Christ, the extended versions are painfully long. I could scarcely tolerate a longer version. Great flicks, but damn, it's gotta stop sometime...

But the minute it is no longer more fun than not, I am taking up woodworking full time for a living.
Maybe I'll rebuild/race motorcycles, too...
You better believe it. Google for something, then use MSN Search. You'll get vastly different results (always poor results on MSN).
Google is the ticket. MSN Search blows.

Good job, Fred! Good luck with retirement.
I hope they bring it back. I'll throw a few bills at 'em.
