Yeti, angels and ley lines are at best, implausible. The idea of other intelligent life forms "out there" somewhere is at least *plausible* and therefore not the waste of time you seem to believe it to be. The degree to which energy/money is spent looking for it can be argued, but you can't say "never." It happened here, so it follows that it could happen elsewhere.
Funny thing is, I live in Des Moines, Iowa and Pyramid was only recently made available here. I've had it a few times while travelling, but not much, so I bought a six of the pale ale tonight. Having one now, in fact, and its not too bad, if a little oxidized. Do you know how to figure the fill date based on the "Enjoy By" date or the code (tank and julian date?) beneath it?
...and a CAP usually means DMS. I never was a fan of creamed corn, myself... Budweiser and its ilk may be technically prefect, and that takes a lot of skill, but I think there was a lot of marketing and competition-purchasing behind the success of the Classic American Pilsner as it stands today. Malt is time-consuming and expensive to produce, so if you can derive your sugars from cheaper grains like rice and corn, then the profit value rises--especially if you can convince everyone to drink it. Oh yeah, and why bother with hops? Just wave a handful over the kettle a few times. =D
Of course, that's not to say there isn't a place for such a thirst-quenching style of beer. After working hard in the yard on a hot Summer's day, a Schaeffer's or Grain Belt go down pretty damn good!
The dorm I stayed in freshman year at Miami of Ohio tended to lock the door that lead to the vending machines. That was a killer when you had the midnight munchies. Fortunately, one of my friends had a homemade lockpick set and was able to get us in there whenever we needed. It also helped whenever anyone in the hall locked themselves out of their room.

Wow! With that kind of thorough research, it's sure to succeed!
Unfortunately, the companies putting out the WinCE and PocketPC devices had an established PC base at the time--not to mention the backing of Microsoft--and could afford a few early mistakes. If Sharp can't sell the Zaurus now, I question whether it will continue to finance and develop the thing. Kind of like what happened to the Agenda's VR3.
Right! It's the same thing around here--especially since they stopped showing reruns of Monty Python... All we get now is programmes like Chef! and Antiques Roadshow. Bloody awful.
In my day, we were lucky to find an open machine in the computer center! No high-falutin world-wide-web for us! We traded pirate copies of SimCity for the Mac! If we wanted porno, we scurried into the sex shop in the middle of the night and bought sleazy magazines! And we LIKED IT!

Seriously, I can't imagine how much MORE time would have been wasted with today's bandwidth! Bonghits, beer, acid, etc. was plenty to keep me occupied and away from my studies. If I had access to the endless streams of info, games and other distractions on the Internet today, I might not have graduated at all, let alone in four years.
Agreed. But then again, they never should have written/shot the scenes with the "illicit" content in the first place. "Catching it in post [production]" makes the movie look sloppy.
And I'll have to agree with FooGoo when he(?) says sometimes the situation simply calls for a "What he fuck?!?" or "Holy shit!!!" So that type of content--in some cases--does add to the film. "Golly gee!" and "Holy smokes!" just doesn't cut it.
I realize that the production company and/or movie studio wanted to market this movie to all ages, but it bugs me when actors' lines get dubbed over. There is a particular scene that I'm thinking of where Sigourney Weaver's character says "fuck" but we instead hear "crap," or some other tame expression. There were one or two others besides that. It also appeared to me that the Tony Shalhoub character was your basic stoner but they cut any references to drugs. Witness his spaced-out reaction to problems in engineering, his mellow attitude when they are flying in the shuttlecraft, and his almost incessant munching on chips, etc. And just what was in the greasy paper bag he was carrying around everywhere? Of course, this is only speculation, but I have this friend that knows about these things. (Yeah, that's it... A friend...)
Otherwise, a pretty goofy movie that was worth wasting a couple hours and a few bucks on a Sunday afternoon--just like Trekkies last Spring(?).
I didn't think this was worthy of Ask Slashdot, but I figured at least it's pertinent to this topic....
We're looking at using an mp3 player for our phone system's hold music, but the ones I've looked at don't come with AC adaptors--which would be critical. The phone system is actually on a PC, and we currently just jack a portable CD player into it, but that thing is wearing out. (The PC is really owned by our phone services provider, so I can't hack it--at least I'm not supposed to.) The area where this equipment is housed doesn't really lend itself to hooking up a full-blown CD player or second PC.
Anyone know who makes an mp3 player that can take an AC adaptor?
To "beg the question" is a logical fallacy with an unfortunate name.
According to whom? The two phrases are essentially identical. "To beg" is (in this case) to entreat. There is an Idea that is presented that (in some given context) is open to debate and so the Idea is "asking" the question.
Anyway, I think the meaning of the phrase is understood by most people, plus it is in general use, so we can communicate effectively without splitting hairs.
Now, you must excuse me, I have to leave work for a Moscow Mule.

My worry is that SuSE will be stong-armed into dropping OpeneXchange Server in favor of Novell's own groupware suite....

How about SO, then?
hop extract?!? Yikes! I think I'll steer clear of it on ethical grounds alone!

It sounds like you're still brewing professionally. Whereabouts?

Sorry, Taco, but anime is overrated. Sure, the animation is (sometimes) done very well, but the story lines are usually pretty cheesy.

A little subversiveness is a very healthy thing!

If you're under 25, Rob, you shouldn't be in such a hurry!
Now the engineers need to feed an instruction set that will generate The Crushinator and win the Battlebots championship!
But I found I was able to post replies to articles that haven't yet loaded on beta.slashdot. I entered this URL: http://beta.sl ashdot.org/article.pl?sid=00/04/27/1030206&mode=th read and got the elusive First Post!

As much I like the 'Net as a reference tool, it's great to have a nice tree-killing book that I can carry into the bathroom or into bed!

We drove through Missouri Valley once, but I sneezed and missed it!
Of course, we live in Dead Moines, so it's not much better. Maybe we should hold it halfway--like in Casey or Adair. I'll bring the homebrew!
