At least you're in the country and have heard the sounds in your lifetime. I've tried working through a book-only version of learning Irish and good gravy---lenition and eclipsis, and that fraking letter "h" doing different things based on where it is in the word and the surrounding vowels. That causes a great deal of pain for this "stupid American"
My mother-in-law bought this for me when I switched from a desktop to a laptop. I thought it was ridiculous, especially since she spent 70 bucks on it. 2 years later and I hate having any other mouse in my hand. Good weight, fits well with my hand (hope you're not a lefty), plays well with Mac, doesn't eat batteries, has bindable keys, etc.
Great blog btw---Dethroner. At any rate, they did a week where they talked about coffee and all the associated bits of coffee (grinds, roasting, brewing) and I was tempted to take up drinking it after having been so well educated on the subject.
L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
O -- morally offensive.
I always enjoyed reading their view on movies, it was usually the only reason I'd pick up the Catholic Key each week. Not that it ever stopped me from viewing them, but it was nice to know what they found offensive in them. The write-ups can be rather amusing in a stuffy sort of way.

A sexual encounter, excessive sexually explicit and rough language, as well as profanity and brief strong violence. O -- morally offensive."
That reminds me of a summer job I had. I was a computer grunt at a goverment ammunitions plant and the DOD had passed a mandate that all apps must be Y2k compliant (yes, it's been a few years) so the office suite they had been using, SMART, had to be phased out in favour of MS Office. We started in the outlying offices and gradually worked our way back to building 5 where the "real" users would be. I saw some rather clever abuses of the SMART program out there and was really scared when it was time to go up into accounting because I was so worried it'd be murder. I ended up screwin' my buddy and taking a few extra people and lettin him have a guy I knew was just going to be insane with his needs. My older brother used to be an accountant there and warned me about him. Worst deal I ever made. Cortez came back down from accounting and had this look on his face. He was already done with the conversions. What, what are you talking about? It seems Les, the accounting guy, had plenty of spreadsheets. However, the crazy SOB didn't have any formulas in them. Cortez asked him something like 'what if a number changes?' Les turns away from his computer, grabs his ten key and recalculates all the numbers on the screen to reflect the change and then feeds them back in. Cortez was a wise man and kept his mouth shut.
I haven't got the exact figures, but I reckon 99% of all code written out there must be written in Imperative (sometimes pseudo OO) languages. There must be SOME reason functional languages are not so popular.
Hmmmmm
SELECT * FROM PROGRAMMING_TYPES PT WHERE PT.name NOT IN ('functional', 'imperative')
>>> DECLARATIVE (1 row(s) affected)
Yeah, I guess there's only two types of programming languages out there and clearly the previous code is only used in research/academic environments.
IIRC from the documentary, the reason corn syrup was developed as a sweetner was because the nice little island nation south of Florida where the US got their cheap sugar cane became communist. I believe they also said C&H (California and Hawaii) jacked up their prices in response to the ban on Cuban sugar and made a tidy little profit.
At any rate, corn was known to be a source of sugar, just not a particularly good one. After the coup, serious dollars were poured into researching improved refinement. Until I met my wife, I didn't realize that there is a third source for sugar based sweetners. There is also beet sugar if you've been through Scottsbluff NE or Torrington WY, you've had the pleasure of smelling Holly and Western Sugar's refinement plant. God-awful smell.
An interesting side note was that of all the pop that was converted over to High Fructose Corn Syrup, Dr. Pepper was the only one to continue using sugar cane.
'd advise you to Google for "beaver fever" but you probably wouldn't get the result I'm thinking of (SafeSearch probably won't let you search at all...) And darned if I can remember the formal name for it. Somebody else remember? Anybody? Bueller?
I'd rather see him pay a la King Louis XIV.
swiiiiisssh! thump! spurt!
Nice try but Louis XIV (of France) was the Sun King who ruled 77 years. Louis XV was a right terrible bastard who said "After me, the deluge" and he was right. France went to hell in a handbasket and Louis XVI, who was more interested in tinkering with clocks and other mechanical wonders than ruling, lost his head in the French Revolution.
And thank you Dr. Ridley for a most excellent education in French History.
I start programming with Basic and it's haunted me ever since.
Haunted? Leave it to dearly departed Edsger Dijkstra to say how it really is:

There is one in Macon, MO and another in Moberly, MO. Both are still in use. Just FYI.
Don't forget about the other side of the state! The Kansas City Metro area has 3 working drive-ins. The Twin, I-70 and the ultra swanky Boulevard Drive in. Ultra swanky because it is one of only 3 drive-in theatres with DTS sound. My wife and I caught TMR double-featured with X2 out there and I was in geek heaven.
Find your nearest drive-in or buy one from the drive in owner/operators page.

Pennies cannot be used in vending machines, and therefore are not as "spendable" as all the other coins.
Au contraire, go to your nearest US Post Office. Their vending machines accept all forms of US currency, including the penny. They also give dollar change via the Susan B or Sacajawia (sp) coins. Why other vending machines do not accept pennies is beyond me.
Well, maybe not so beyond me. During my 5.5 years at Rolla I kept two jars of change, one of pennies, one of silver. Silver was used for laundry. Pennies were simply accumulated. Final week of school I carted my bulging box of pennies to the post office and spent about 20 minutes feeding pennies to the machine. What was amusing was the gal who came in while I was scooping out the pennies that had fallen through the first time through and was sighing and shifting her weight to let me know that she was in a hurry. There were maybe 30 in my hand at the time but the evil, vindictive part of me was just eyeing the coin return button. I doubt she would have been amused had I punched it but had she pissed me off any more I would have. I can't remember what all I bought, but I know I got the ~ 30 dollar roll of stamps out of the deal and then another booklet.
