    First, What do you mean by ferment on top of the dishwasher? Unless you have a magical dishwasher that has an aura that keeps the air 45f I'm missing how that works.


    Second, 80F for Ales you are a brave man, or you really like a lot of esters. I get scared if my wort gets over 75.

  6. Re:I hate beer snobs on Keeping Your Keg Cool Sans Ice · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Serving beers at or near freezing and serving beers at lagering tempature is a big difference. If you get a pilsner that it brewed for flavor and not for profit margin, you will find that they should be served at lagering tempatures, around 45F.

    As for the initial comment of 32-35 degrees for the blanket, I'm sure it would have a temperature control to choose your desired tempature. Who will this be marked to? The Frat boys who want to swill lots of cheap beer and tempature is secondary, or the beer snobs who want to keep their kegs at the proper tempature?

    I think the point is that it CAN keep beer as cold as 32 degrees. So when I'm cooling my Rogue I2PA or Great Lakes Edmund Fitgerald Porter I can dial it in at 56 or 45 and have it at it's optimal temperature.

  13. Spirit is indeed a software problem on A First Look At Meridiani Planum · · Score: 5, Informative
    After some more diagnostics, the flash memory is ok, and it's looking to be a software problem.

    2106 GMT (4:06 p.m. EST)
    "Spirit is still serious but we are moving toward guarded condition now," rover project manager Pete Theisinger reports. "I think we got a patient well on the way to recovery." In the past day, engineers have determined that Spirit's flash memory hardware is OK. A leading theory today is that a portion of the rover's software simply couldn't cope with all that was happening on Wednesday when the trouble began.

    The key to getting them to play on set top players is the booktype.


    There is a bit on the dvd that tells the software what kind of media it is. and naturally dvd+r's will say 'dvd+r' but you can override that with 'dvd-rom' and finicky dvd players will play the discs in blissful ignorance.

  20. Re:personal OS choice? on Ask Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik · · Score: 1

    I've been to the redhat offices and most everything is Linux, They said had some windows or mac around for Print/Layout stuff, and prehaps a few other job positions that simply didn't have software under linux.

    They said they would switch as soon as they could do their jobs on Linux.

  21. What do you say to the Big little users? on Ask Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik · · Score: 1
    RHEL is priced to compete with Solaris, etc. It's not realistic for companies who need a litte better linux to upgrade from RHL. In talking with a Sale Rep, it would of cost my company $13,000 a year to switch to RHEL. When last year we spent a total of $700 on RHN entitlements, it's not something that my company was prepared to pay.


    Fedora-core is less of an option than RHL (8,9,10) for several reasons; it will have an even shorter life (~9 months), and it's feature over stability focus.


    What do you say to companies and Sys Admins like me trying to define the future of our systems?

    Trying to say what is outside of the universe is just about the same as trying to say what happened before the big bang, it simply doesn't exist, at least as far as we (members of the universe) can observe.

  23. Re:Backwards compatibility on Progeny Ports Red Hat's Anaconda To Debian · · Score: 1
    If anything, Redhat should be making it easier to have debs and rpms live side by side on their machines. In fact, Redhat's whole Fedora thing just seems like an attempt to recreate Debian. Why bother?.

    Fedora-Core is Redhat's attempt to have a RHL test bed that they don't have to spend any resources on in technical support. They devlop it, the community devlops it, they take the good stuff and put it in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Profit!!!

    It's debian like, but will be leaning towards cutting edge fast development as opposed to stable and tested.
