Especially if you do not use the "liquid" malt kits as you mentioned.
The combination of malt, water, hops and yeast is all that is really needed to create beer. It just happens that alcohol is a "by product" of the process. Not that there's anything wrong with that:-)
You'll also note that in trying to create stronger beers, they usually turn out tasting only "so so" if you're lucky. Beer is meant to be somewhere in the range of 4%-6% alcohol maximum.
If you want something even more like "food" try brewing meade. Honey is yummy.
Why do I get the feeling that Disney's been watching re-runs of "The Simpsons" and have decided that the best episode involves "Itchy And Scratchy Land"???
I don't recall any Nikon Digital SLR camera with a full 24x36mm sensor.
From the D1 through to the D100 and now the D2H the sensor size has been 23.7x15.5mm therefore you will need to adjust your lens collection accordingly.
Also keep in mind that not everyone that shoots a camera is shooting "action" shots or birds/animals in the distance. Wide angle lenses, along with tilt/shift lenses are important for architecture and landscape photographers.
So yes, the multiplication factor does indeed matter.
Let's remember that this will be Nikon's flagship camera.
The Canon 10D, while worthy (as I'm a Canon man as well) is not the flagship. The D2H should be somewhat similar to Nikon as the Canon 1Ds is to Canon. The Canon, however, is a full frame sensor while the D2H is not.
Agreed that people will spend wads of coin on whatever their hearts desire as long as they can afford to do so (and some, when they can't afford to do so) but it's still a pricey game to play for those of us without enough cash to pony up for a body alone.:-) Therefore, I would suggest a wait till it comes down a couple grand..then again, I'm still using a PIII 733mhz
Someone up there ^^^^ mentioned costs of digital cameras. I'm not sure how many here have followed these DSLRs but they're not cheap by a long shot.
This Nikon will probably arrive at a street price of around $3000 USD for the body alone. Add to that the fact that your lenses will have to be adjusted (if you own Nikon equipment already) as there is a multiplying factor that has to be taken into account for the size of the sensor; I believe with Nikon cameras it's 1.5x. This is due to the fact that the sensor is not a full 24x36mm (i.e. full frame film).
Unless your a professional photographer or an advanced amateur that's spending his/her weekends shooting weddings in 35mm or you're independently wealthy; you're probably going to have to wait a few years before the price of these puppies comes down to the "consumer" level.
This may be redundant and a little late in coming but I personally did receive a copy of the virus from (surprise surprise)a Hotmail account which, if by your logic, the virus should not affect.
Just some info..
My solution.. just be vigilant and don't execute files.. especially ones that look like *.doc.bat
The Article states:
A sales representative for Best Buy in Houston said several Hewlett-Packard computers with the 1.4GHz Pentium 4 chip inside had been on display, but were suddenly pulled from the shelves because "they were running too fast."
Did anyone notice that PC World (at least this Aussie site) is sponsored by Compaq who also have P4 systems on the market.
Coincidence or a potential grab at market share ?
Leave it to the media hounds to create a story about a "Battle" against Napster that really should be more about a band known for their light hearted nature and their off the wall approach to music.
The BareNaked Ladies themselves see this more as an opportunity rather than a "Battle" per se. To quote the CNN Story:
Terry McBride, manager of Barenaked Ladies, said the band resorted to the measure "because we knew that tracks were going to end up on Napster, so why not have some fun with it?"
"We give you a big enough chunk so that if you like it, hopefully you'll go out and buy it," McBride said.
And that is an excellent approach that most other bands SHOULD follow (are you listening Metallica, Dr Dre et al ?) rather than resorting to the typical, demeaning, and unprofitable "sue- the-pants-off-of-them-and-that-will-teach-them" approach that they tend to pursue. Why not take a negative and turn it into a positive as BNL has done.
More power to them for being ingenios once again !
I don't think I would ever want to become a permanent resident of the U.S.A. After reading through a number of the posts, and trying to understand the whole concept of the H1B, I think congress has the right idea.
After 6 years are up, head back home.
I mean really, would anyone want to stay in a country that, while claiming itself the "melting pot", holds you in disdain and sneers down at you because you:
"took" a job that could have been done by a U.S. citizen
identifies the color of your skin or the shape of your eyes as those of a "scab" worker and hence the brunt of scorn of those who are supposed to be your "peers"
If it were I that was working in the US on an H1B, I'd be happy to turn tail and RUN after my time was up based on those items alone, not to mention other contributing factors (i.e. crime, loose gun laws, non-socialized health care etc. etc. etc. )
MP3Board is itself fighting a lawsuit filed against it by the Recording Industry Association of America, arguing that MP3Board violates copyright laws by assisting consumers in the location of online MP3 music files
**GUFFAW**
Sounds to me like MP3board.com is covering their ass in suing AOL.
It looks like this silliness has no end to it in sight and one after another, any number of peer-to-peer file sharing networks will have problems in the end. As I've said before, the US Judicial system is not equipped to handle the "new" technology ("new" as in "new to them") and the cases that may be brought forth because if it.
I have a sneaking suspiscion that most companies that DO know the technology will be more than happy to tie up the court system and get as much "moolah boolah" as possible from those that were too lax to comprehend.
This issue, and the others surrounding it (re: Napster vs RIAA) seem to have uncovered some inherent problems in the U.S. legal/justice system(I'm up in The Great White North.. so pardon me if I infer something that may not necessarily apply).
1) The Judges and prosecutors, but more so the Judges don't seem to have a good grasp of the technological issues surrounding these trials. It would be tantamount to having a programmer sit as a trial judge on a contractual law case. It seems that potentially, all electronic rights will go on being violated until either Judges educate themselves with the technology of particular cases or they assign a technological "advisor" (for the lack of a better word) to cases such as these to properly de-brief the Judge and if necessary, the jury. Someone with as little bias as possible.
2) The failure to see that Hackers DO provide a benefit to companies/corporations seems to be a loss of insight on the part of the court (at least this court in particular). Without the ability to point out security flaws (and that's exactly what 2600 did), much more damage could have been done to the MPAA's precious CSS.
3) The old addage "If guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns" comes to mind. This information was publicly available. I used to be able to pick up the 2600 at my local bookstore. Now, it's difficult to find a copy. Now, the ultimate concern for MPAA and RIAA and others should be that information such as DeCSS will go underground and disappear into the ether. There will be bigger problems around the bend for such institutions if this occurs.
IPO Bait.. it's probably IPO Bait..
Weird that Transmeta "are about to announce" a relationship with AMD just before they plan to IPO on Thursday.
Price of their IPO should go up because of this.. then.. after the IPO.. watch them announce that the deal never went through.. but by that time, the large brokerage firms that back the IPO will already have gotten rid of their share of Transmeta stock....
It MAY work.. if it's done a la X-Men fashion.. that seemed to work... but perhaps the jury is still out.
If they really want to make it work in a Live Action format... perhaps they should retain the services of Patrick Stewart as Homer... God knows he's got the hairline for the part....

This is indeed true.
