Head over to alt.coffee. These guys know everything there is to know about making coffee, from the gadgets (which many of them hack for a good cup) to the beans and the soil they grow in.
I've switched over to green tea in the morning (trying to give my stomach a break), but for coffee I still prefer a good medium roast (done by a local coffee house while I wait-- I usually get a week's worth at a time.) and a standard GE drip coffee maker. It reaches the required temperature and produces a good cup, so I don't see a need to buy anything fancier.
Blosxom is pretty good for a 17k perl script. It's getting a little dated, but the next version (v3) is usable although still in the testing stages. Have a look at their Yahoo mailing list (linked from the Blosxom website) to see what's going on with it.
I use v2 of the software and have no qualms, although I wouldn't mind a larger list of plug-ins.
I think this is the better part of the article. This quote actually explains what the new technique is.
Until now, surgeons have narrowed the diameter of the valve by removing a square portion of one of the flaps. Now, by closing the gaps on each side of the prolapsing flap and cutting out the excess tissue in a V-shape, the surgeon can make the valve work properly again.
In the eyes of bloggers, my sin lay in suggesting that Google is OK at giving access to random bits of information but would be terrible at giving access to the recorded knowledge that is the substance of scholarly books. I went further and came up with the unoriginal idea that the thing to do with a scholarly book is to read it, preferably not on a screen.
I've found lots of useful knowledge through Google's book searching, although I've used it mainly to see which books were worth going to the library to check out. It's a lot easier to have a title and author in hand rather than trying to find the many places that books on flow cytometry might be found. The Dewey Decimal System and subject searches at the library are useful, but not for very specific things.
I do agree with him on some of his points-- one being that most blogs out there are quite horrendous-- but he's yelling at the wrong people to get his main ideas heard. If he wants Google to spend money funding libraries instead, talk to Google, not to a community of mostly-pissed-off bloggers.
Sygate or Kerio. Recently set the folks up with the free version of Sygate and they've been happy with it.:-) Zone Alarm's a pain in the neck to deal with.
I do this exact same thing! It drove my teachers crazy back in elementary school, but I'm glad I didn't give in. It's such a comfortable grip and doesn't cramp up nearly as fast for me as the "normal" grip.
Learning to write "correctly" was one of my worst experiences in school. If cursive falls by the wayside, at least one aspect of it will be gone.
Interestingly enough, by printing has improved considerably since I started working on computers...
Oh, terrible.:-P
In college, in every single exam I've taken we've been asked to print. In one course writing in cursive would almost garuntee the essay not to be graded. Cursive is on its way out in many places, it seems. Even when taking notes, I have always preferred printing instead of cursive. I'm much faster that way-- making my cursive legible (even to myself) is a chore. The Italic hybrid of cursive and print mentioned in the article is interesting-- that's often what my writing ends up looking like anyway.

Know what's been plaguing housecats lately? Obesity and type-2 diabetes. Just like us with our energy-dense foods.

I just used some CSS in my userContent.css file to make the font a legible one.
Conspiracy theories aside, it did prompt me to learn more about how Gecko browsers work.
Onto the article: I did feel disappointed in the responses; they didn't go very deep. I expected less glossing over and more details.

Since when has obesity had nothing to do with weight?

What CDRW's would you recommend?
eBay bought PayPal, not the other way around. You can also use other payment methods besides PayPal with eBay.
Because it's easier to tell when people who don't live near you are sleeping.
Anyway, I'm digging those hip poloshirts and huge glasses. They all are so happy to be finished; it makes me smile.
You didn't mention how the top-of-the-line RadioShack cable panned out. Did you stop testing when you tried the Monsters?

Simple definition usually is that if two organisms can't produce viable, fertile offspring then they're of different species.
Although I agree when it comes to organisms that reproduce asexually-- it's much harder to fully define the term here.
Have you tried Pegasus Mail yet? I haven't found anything better. The comp.mail.pegasus-mail.ms-windows group tends to be very helpful, as well.
I'm an idiot, Xnews is up there. Speaking of Usenet clients, anybody have any good recommendations for another Windows client?
Seconding FileZilla! It's been a godsend.
:-/
I'd love to see Xnews and QCD player up there as well. Just wish Xnews wasn't in such a stagnant state.

Somebody better mod you up as funny. :-)

My favorite's always been, "My nipples explode with delight!" as the poor hungarian is carted off from the tobacconist's. :-)
This makes perfect sense when you think about it. Give the guy some credit!
