I'm pretty sure I captured that when I talked about wine you like and wine you don't like.
As far as Vodka, tastes will indeed vary among people who enjoy paint thinner, but beyond that, it isn't particularly subjective as subjective experiences go.
There are high voltage DC power lines all over the place. "Power electronics" solved a lot of the voltage problems that existed in Edison's day (or rather, mitigated the high voltage advantage that simple AC transformers gave AC power by making it efficient to switch DC power up to high voltages).
A big plus of a DC power line is that you don't need to keep the grids on either end of it in phase with each other, so you reduce the chances of huge cascade failures when there is a problem in one area.
Huge swaths of people have absolutely no problem trespassing. They are the folks that shoot out locks on gates, shit on gates, snowmobile over tree seedlings, snowmobile on land simply because there are tracks, hunt and trap illegally, road hunt turkeys at what are major road intersections for a rural area, litter wantonly, throw their empties out the window to avoid open container problems, etc.
That's an oversimplification right? I mean, the hemoglobin in the beef is broken down into its constituent parts during digestion, and then synthesized in the body into human hemoglobin, right?
Poking around, it appears that it would be more correct to call beef an excellent source of myoglobin (or just protein in general) and iron.
I agree with what you are saying about having devices take the same inputs.
That said, part of the reason it even makes sense to take you laptop to your friend's house is that you can plug the power adapter into the wall. If there was an adapter standard, you could just plug your laptop into your friend's adapter and take either his or your smaller, portable adapter for your cell phone.
I'm pretty sure there is a decay function. A $3 bottle generally isn't going to be as good as a $10 bottle, but even though a $10 bottle that you like is a better experience than a $25 you don't like, people need to feel like that $15 bought something, so they 'prefer' the $25 bottle.
It works for spirits too, I'm pretty sure that $13 Smirnoff is more than 40% as good as $29 absolut or $35 Goose. Probably like 85%. 5 O'clock is probably about 5% as good.
So a $100 DVD player may actually be quite a lot better than a $25 DVD player (perhaps the menus are sane, or it is more reliable), but the only difference between the $100 DVD player and a $500 DVD player is about $400 of profit.
Different thing. The post I replied to was talking about dumping methanol in the main gas tank in order to dry it out (the alcohol pulls the water into solution with the gasoline). In places where ethanol is mixed into fuel as an oxidizer, this basically isn't necessary anymore.
Short Microsoft, you stand to make $30 for every share that you are short. If it takes Microsoft 10 years to vanish into nothing (this will *not* happen), you will have made $30 per share in ten years.
Investing $30 in municipal bonds (which are generally a good credit risk. They have a much lower downside than being short Microsoft), you would make ~$18.87, with essentially zero risk.
It's a good thing you are talking out your ass, being short Microsoft is a horrible investment.
There might be a decent trade being short Microsoft, but you are looking at a 10% upside, with pretty bad downside risk (what if Vista sales numbers aren't hollow? Microsoft goes to $40...you lose 30%).
The methanol part probably isn't necessary. Most gasoline is E5 or so at this point, so every ten gallons of fuel contains about half a gallon of ethanol.
I have 500+ links on delicious. Everybody has to make up their own minds, but my estimate of how likely they are to significantly degrade their service multiplied by the amount of effort it would take to work around that event is much lower than my estimate of how much work it would be to even come close to the feature list.
That doesn't mean that they won't change something down the line (though I don't think they will...), but it makes it pretty easy not to be left in the lurch, just pull down all your data at comfortable intervals.
If you don't want other people to have access, never mind the solution that uses a bookmark sharing service.

What are you talking about, there is no Usenet.
Also, try to remember the first rule.
Not in my experience. But then, I don't drink a lot of the expensive stuff.
Wikipedia says that it is somewhat more varied than that:

Oh, it's been used for a long ass time (1992):

I just happen to agree with the commenter there:
If they give me my address back, I'll give them their idea back.
"Lappy" isn't a word.
I store them in gold lined boxes to prevent space radiation from degrading them.
Also, they are manufactured in harmony with the orbit of the moon, so the lunar cycle does not impact the quality of audio fed over them.
Finally, the meteoric metal mixed into the alloy used for the cables gives them the power of the universe, preventing them from aging.

You could always start selling cables that cost $599.
How could they *not* be better?
Was the stew good?

Not the worst place to start:

I think it divides, so that you end up multiplying your argument by the identity, but people wonder why you stuck in that extra step.
Which fallacy is linking to fallacies on wikipedia?

I college science class, they explain about how you get less energy out than you put in.

Some of the dealing with is already done:

If you end up making your own system, maybe consider supporting an interchange format as similar as possible to the xml delicious spits out...
How worried are you about control (i.e., is your concern that you have continued access, or is your concern that others not have access)?
If you are only concerned about continued/full access to your data, delicious has what I find to be a very acceptable statue quo:

You won't be so amused after the cow uprising.
Or do you think it is an accident that beef is both delicious and bad for you?
I thought the standard practice was to just ignore anything that you didn't want to believe, not to 'deal with' it.
