...but I would think vibration would be worse. The drive heads sit very close to the surface of the platters, like, less than the thickness of a human hair IIRC. Heat could be bad, but the level of heat you are talking about (warm to the touch) I don't think is going to hurt anything. What you really have to worry about heat-wise is if it is HOT to the touch, so you cannot comfortably hold your finger there for an extended period of time. I know that in the case of vibration, it depends on the direction of the vibration. If it is paralell to the platters, it is not as bad as perpendicular to the platters. If the vibration is enough to cause the heads to contact the platters (head crash) then it would be quite bad indeed. However, it is more likely that you simply had a defective drive, that would have failed anyway.
The way I like it depends on the coffee. If it is REALLY good coffee, I can drink it black. Otherwise, I use a small amount of cream and sugar. I don't add anything to espresso though.
The thing I really don't understand is:
WHAT THE HELL is the POINT of a decaf skim-milk latte? That is like getting a cheeseburger without beef! Its stupid. If you want no caffeine (well, not as much caffeine) don't get coffee. If you don't want fat, drink it black. Skim milk just makes coffee taste watery. If I add something to coffee, it has to have some fat in it, otherwise, it just waters it down. Skim milk doesnt smooth coffee out, it weakens it.
In turkey, there is a saying: "Coffee should be as black as hell, as strong as death, and as sweet as love" I don't quite agree with that. I don't like sweet coffee.
There goes my experience with making good coffee... Now instead of being careful and buying good coffee, grinding it themselves, brewing it properly, everyone will buy folgers and percolate it and sprinkle some pixie dust stuff into it and it will taste good. Assholes...
They give you an image of the scanned page, along with the OCR'd text. I just looked closer, and did a few pages as well. Its pretty easy. Took me about 5-10 minutes/page. I had to remove a few end-of-line hyphenations, fix an OCR-mangled word, and replace single hyphens with double hyphens for em dashes a few times.
Why not modify that in such a way as to have avaliable a scanned image of a single page of the book, along with an empty box to enter text? That way, people could work on ONE page at a time, while others work on other pages. A single book could be typed in by 547 different people, each typing up one page.
if the printers are more expensive? Id rather spend $500 on a printer, and $10 on an ink cartridge every month than $50 on a printer and $40 on an ink cartridge every month. Heck, if colour LASER printers were more affordable, I'd buy one! Inkjets arent worth it unless your printing photos. Even then, a dye-sub is better.

Probly a bit inaccurite, as it is all from memory, but thats like the few minutes or so of the episode.
Check out Moray if you are using Windows. It is a very nice modeler that integrates with POV-Ray. It has a wireframe OpenGL preview that fills in with the final rendered image when you render. Very nice.
Yes, the real use for PDF is for something that must be printed. I am working on re-doing my church's web page (changing it from frames full of converted Word 97 documents to a standerdised format using CSS and modern HTML) and they had a bunch of stuff in PDF. Right now, the only things still in PDF are the church's printed newsletter (too hard to convert to HTML every single month until I have time to write a script for it) and a couple of permission slips in the youth section. The newsletter in PDF is only until I can get a script together to update it, as I dont have time to update an HTML newsletter each month (im doing this on a volunteer basis). "Webmasters" who use PDFs or Flash for important information should be drug out into the street and... called newbies.
The Google AdWords ads are those ads in the bar to the right of the search results. Google does not allow people to pay for placement in the actual search results, only for placement in the ad bar to the right of the results. Google's page-rank system relies on the number of links to a page from various other pages. SearchKing seems to be abusing this system by creating hundreds of dummy pages with links to each other to inflate the page-rank of those pages. They then sell pages to companies, who pay a lot of money for a page with an artificially inflated page-rank. SearchKing is intentionally tricking the page-rank system for their own profit. Google has a right to reduce the page-rank of a site that is intentionally taking advantage of their system they have put in place to provide accurate results. SearchKing has no right to sell a page-rank. A page-rank is for Google to determine, not an advertising company. This case will likely be thrown out of court, or SearchKing will end up paying Google's legal fees.
It might not be free, but you still don't need to shell out LOTS of money. $50 or so for one copy, and if its GPL, or most other Open Source licences, you can install it on as many computers as you want with no restrictions. Since you only need one licence for the software, it is a LOT cheaper.
However, once the tape got recorded over a few hundred times, it would start to sound like CRAP with all the residue of previous recordings building up. You would have to use a really long tape loop to have it be reasonable sound quality after 15 minutes or so of recording and re-recording.
It may cost a large amount to make an IE-only site work properly with Mozilla, or other standards complient browsers, but that's not the point. If you make the site to work in Mozilla and other complient browsers in the first place, it might cost, lets say, $10. Then, you make the necisary changes to get it to work in IE. $0.10. Once it works in Mozilla, there isnt much you need to do to get it working in IE. IE is pretty close to the standards. It just majorly breaks them in a few key areas, and needs workarounds. IE6, btw, fixed the bugs that allowed the workarounds, but did not fix the bugs that nescesitated the workarounds. Another big problem is how IE fixes HTML errors invisibly, trying to determine what the designer wanted to do, but without telling the designer something is wrong. This makes the designer falsely belive that the page is working properly, when in fact it is not, and may render differently on a tuesday.
shoot, a fellah could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff....
lol I was about to post that myself. If anyone has not yet seen it, check out "Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb." It is one of the funniest movies I have seen, with such great quotes as "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the War Room!"
Dillo is mostly meant for embedded applications. Its not meant to be feature-rich, only to be fast and small. Tabbed browsing would be great for an embedded app though. That would be one place i dont think anyone could disagree that tabs would be good.

I think a ring is 90v AC. Don't remember the frequency, though, and I could be wrong, so don't quote me on that ;)

Yeah, as a matter of fact, I looked closer, joined, and proofread a few pages. So HA!
