Try both, I'm sure that either yeast would taste fine. Considering the use of lager malt and münsner malt (Munich malt?), I'm guessing that they intend this to be a lager. Of course, that 4kg of sugar throws me right off. Maybe you should use a high-gravity Belgian yeast? I'd take a hydrometer reading and then decide from there.
Other obvious problems-- mashing isn't always as simple as just putting grain in water at a certain temperature (this is called a "simple infusion mash"), sparging isn't as simple as just "filtering".
But someone who has experience brewing, this is more than enough to go on. Half the fun of brewing is seeing how different two brews that have the same ingredients can be. Change the mash to a step infusion or decoction mash, try a different sparging setup, age the beer, whatever. Obviously, the other fun half is drinking your creation:)
No, he calls it a European beer because it uses European ingredients, like:
pilsner malt
münsner malt (Munich malt?)
lager malt
Tetnang hops
Hallertauer (the only American-style beer that I am aware of of that uses this is Sam Adams)
Furthermore, the use of copious amounts of [candi, probably not table] sugar (4 kg!), would probably make it resemble a Belgian beer.
Common American beers (what Papazian calls "North American lagers") are brewed mostly with corn or rice, with enough barley added to comply with US brewing laws. If I'm not mistaken, the maximum number of adjuncts allowable by US law is something like 60! So the poster is quite correct-- this is very much a European-style beer.
It is also simply FACT that you can taste more flavors when a beer is warmer. I was of the impression that American beers were served chilled because they contained more off-flavors do to being brewed with inferior ingredients, and due to the rigours of transport (shaking, temperature variation, exposure to UV light). BTW, the characteristic "flavor" of Corona beer is achieved by exposing it to UV light in the factory, and then by shipping it in clear containers. The lime is there to cover up off-flavors.
Maybe you should know what you're taking about before you call bullshit. Of course Guinness and Stella Artois taste different. No one said that there was only one kind of European beer!
...if only our intranet apps would run on OSX. Isn't that ironic? Our web based applications won't run in another web browser. Hell, they won't run on Windows XP SP2! Where's the value? Whenever I use this line of reasoning with anyone around here, all I get is angry looks. This sh*t would have been more portable if it had been written in C!
But I would love to switch our regular desktop users over to OSX, especially remote users. We could get rid of that totally cruddy and barely functional POS that is is Checkpoint, and switch to the simpler and easier-to-understand SSL tunnels. Once you see the beauty that is timed startups & shutdowns + radmind, you'd never want to go back to Windows...
As for linux... Yeah, linux is fun and all, but it ain't ready for regular people. I'd much sooner roll out a BSD than linux -- and this is why I ditched linux myself -- I am sick and tired of dealing with dependency hell. Even my 'easy' Gentoo box sucked days of my life from me...
There's also the fact that certain kinds of music ONLY come out on vinyl. If you want to hear the latest techno, jungle, etc., you ain't gonna find it on CD.
There are numerous other greylisting implementations out there on this same webpage. The OpenBSD folks have been putting a lot of effort into their own lately-- if I'm not mistaken, you can get spamd to rewrite pf rules on the fly. This guy has a writeup.
Also check out Vipul's Razor and DCC, which are distributed. I currently use both of these with SpamAssassin when evaluating scores for email.
PS. If you're wondering about load-- we get about 85k email messages a day, and between two dual Xeons (2.something GHz) in a round-robin config, we rarely crack more than 95% idle.
My father's graduate physics advisor swore up and down that clock speeds past 100MHz were impossible. We are definitely seeing diminishing returns at the moment, but a lot of people have been surprised over the last 20 years.
Why not try a BSD? If you already use a UNIX-like system, making the switch won't be hard. OpenBSD has great Sparc support, mostly because some key developers love the platform.
I've come across many cases of code that relies on the endianness of the x86 and breaks on PPC. Sure, it'll run fine on x86 now, but what if there's a shift in architecture in the future? Look at all the once-big architectures that are dead now: VAX, Alpha, Motorola 680x0... Why write the same code again?
Porting reveals bugs. Shouldn't we spend time finding bugs? It's not like the BSDs are lagging behind in features...
How does one even begin to measure this? Extrapolate from those convicted of software piracy? The article doesn't bother to mention any of IDC's methods.
Yes. We download one copy and then distribute that to about 500 desktops. The 'downloads' number doesn't adequately relfect this. It is my experience that corporate software rollouts always work like this, so the 'downloads' figure won't show what might be substantial growth right now in the corporate sector.
This is the case where I work. We've had FF in my fiefdom for a year now (about 100 machines), but after some prodding I finally got our parent company to roll it out to all of its subsidiaries.
Worked for me. I'm a network admin for a large publishing company. Funny, they hired me because they wanted someone with "humanities experience". Since I think there's probably only one of those in the world (me), things worked out perfectly.
Of course, I'm still working toward going back to school for CS. There are a lot of interesting things to do in IT, but IMHO none as interesting as computer science.
I just took one of our mailservers offline a minute ago to do a block-level copy, so this would be fantastic. I develop images for our machines, e.g., mailserver, etc, and then dd them onto other drives. When I update one machine, I then go around and update the others with the new image. This saves me tons of time, and we do a similar thing with desktops and Norton Ghost (although, if I'm not mistaken, this actually a file level copy).
And since we're running OpenBSD on those machines, porting this should be fairly straightforward... although now that I look at it, he adds some patches for sockets... eugh...
Quite true. But then they shouldn't care when I block their ads, either, since I'm not going to buy their shit anyway.
Ad-blocking works for both of us. Saves me bandwidth on ads I don't want to see. Saves them bandwidth on a person who won't buy their stuff. It's like self-selecting target marketing.

Seagate offers a 5-year warranty on its drives. We use Seagate U320 drives in our servers here at work, and they run fast and reliably. And we have about 100 desktops, all with Seagate Barracuda EIDE drives. But we even have some old machines with 8+ year-old Seagate SCSI drives that are still running, and have been running for nearly 8 years non-stop. If I'm not mistaken, we've only had to rebuild one array in this time.
In my personal experience, I have two 2GB Seagate drives (old!) in my router at home. They've been running non-stop for about three years, and they were recycled from even older desktop machines. To put that in perspective, I've lost 2 out of the four Western Digital drives I've bought within two years, and I've lost more IBM drives than I can count. So I can't recommend Seagate drives highly enough.
On April Fool's Day the idea is that you tell people stuff that isn't true so that they are fooled into believing it and we get to laugh at them.
Here's the way it's always worked for me... My mom calls me at some dreadfully early hour, when my brain is barely grasping at consciousness, and says "Happy Birthday!". She's so clever.
It works especially well on me because my birthday is actually a few days from now, so it sounds about right, and I get all excited, and... oh... damn you, Mom! Next year I drink a bunch of Google Gulp and we'll see who's fooled then!!!
The few times I've seen Leonard Nimoy in roles other than Spock I identified him as spock just as much because he acted like spock as because he looks like him. This leads me to believe he is probably not a very versatile actor.
Yes, case in point: the Big Dig here in Boston. At the moment, because of shoddy work, we have tunnels leaking water. Going for the lowest bidder in this case resulted in having a contractor that not only grossly underestimated their costs (and thus had major cost overruns), but cut every corner that they could to stay profitable. Combine that with the stubborn fool that ran the government's oversight office, and you have our current situation.
Who knows, maybe if we had gone with the most qualified contractor in the beginning, we wouldn't be in this mess...

My phone has the option to turn off the locator beacon except for E911 calls. Or maybe that option is just there to give me a warm, fuzzy feeling :)

Unless you mean that take issue with some of the non-Reinheitsgebot ingredients in Guiness, in which case you are just an elitist ass.

Right, because Truth should always take the bureaucratic route. Tell that to this guy.
Follow -current or upgrade to 3.7 and you'll be happy. It's really not that hard.
3.7 comes with 1.0.2 if I'm not mistaken.
