I work in downtown Portland and have tried, in addition to Starbucks, six other little shops within walking distance of my work. For hot espresso drinks (double tall mocha, [Homer] hmmmmm, mocha, *drool* *drool* *drool* [/Homer]) all but two are better than Starbucks. For blended drinks though, (think Frappucino types) Starbucks is better by far. So I will continue to get them from Starbucks because I just can't rationalize giving money to someone, for something that I don't particularly like, solely because they are small. That being said I will also continue to try the little guys from time to time and if they get into the same ballpark as Starbucks, then they will certainly have my business.
In case you are interested, the best blended drink I have ever found, Portland or elswhere, is at Primo Espresso in Tigard. (At the corner of Hall and Durham, if you happen to be familiar with the area;-)
That was a pretty exciting second solo! I'm not sure what it is about the long x-country solo but I pulled a stupid also. I was flying in the Northwest. I departed Hillsboro, flew North to Chehalis, about a 54 mile flight, then south to Corvalis, about 104 miles, and then back to Hillsboro, another 50 miles (on a map they make almost a straight line North to South).
On the way back from Chehalis I was tracking the Newburg VOR but the needle was acting wierd. It would sort of stick and then make a large swing. I was focuising pretty hard on it trying to figure out if there was something wrong with it.
I heard my call sign ont he radio all of the sudden warning me of traffic at my 12 o'clock. I looked up (realizing that I hadn't been scanning, d'oh!) and saw the light dead ahead. It was no factor, but you still like to know about these things.
The stupid bit is that flight following had been trying to contact me for the fifteen minutes that I had been fooling around with the VOR! I had been so intense that I completely missed the calls! D'OH! They told me a couple more minutes and they would have scrambled "help." Which of course would be the F-15's out of PDX.
I am sooo glad that I managed to wake up when I did. Of course I learned my lesson from that and I have not drifted like that since. As for the electrical thing, something similar happened to me. I took the plane out and on run up the left magneto ran incredibly rough. I sqwaked the plane and caught some grief for a grounding a plane just because I couldn't clear the plugs. Turned out that when they checked it out there was a whole mess of problems with the plugs/ magneto and they ended up replacing all sorts of stuff.
You forgot the Grail references to the castle in the swamp;-) I'm also suprised that there haven't been any "In Soviet Russia, base buillds you!" jokes.
Although what I really want to do is to imagine a Beowulf cluster of these...
I believe the 3rd as well has been cited as part of the privacy penumbra. That soldiers cannot be stationed in your home means that you have an expectation of the gov not camping out at at your pad.
Not to point out the obvious, but I'm pretty sure that they are aware of this as well. I believe the issue had to do with the crafts attitude as it left the controlability envelope. If you enter space while already tumbling, then that's when the bad mojo happens.
Once you are in space your inertia will carry you along what ever path you started. So if you start in the proper attitude, and under control, you'll return to the atmosphere in much the same condition. If you leave the atmosphere tumbling out of control, you'll hit it out of control and you'll be far less likely to ever regain it. Indeed, at that air speed, as you drop you into thicker air out of control you are far more likely to suffer complete structural failure. That's bad.
What irritated me the most about Berman ruining the Star Trek universe was that it had so much great potential. And he just pissed it away. This could be something very, very cool. I really think that these guys, for lacking of a better description, get it.
On a serious note I could see some serious conflicts arising out of a Martian race of humans. We have a hard enough time getting along when there is a difference in gender, race, religion, and/ or politics. A new species could only lead to more conflict methinks.
I don't mind the polarity and, indeed, it can often be etertaining. The annoying bit, the part at which I was trying to poke fun, is the folks who take a polarized stance on an issue about which they know nothing. So I would say:
I love apple because of a, b, c, & d reasons.
Apple will never be more than niche computer for reasons 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Its a trick question. Just because/.ers click the link does not mean that they actually read the page. They just have to look at the page long enough to determine whether it requires them to be aggressively favorable or bitterly critical of it.
...any time terminate all the rights granted by it hereunder by not less than two(2) months' written notice to LICENSEE specifying any such breach, unless within the period of such notice all breaches specified therein shall have been remedied;...
So, by the original language, the license can only be revoked by specifying the breach. SCO has yet to specify the breach so much as point in its general direction.
The other proviso is that if the breach is fixed (ie the infringing stuff is removed) then the license can no longer be revoked. So, if the offending code in Linux is identified and removed- there is no breach.
Is it just me or are they no even bothering to hide their alterior agenda anymore?
Amen! I've found that the time of entertainment/cost ratios heavily favors reading. For the same price as the latest "Charlie's Terminator: Sinbad's Gigli Matrix" movie I can buy a half dozen used books and get a lot more entertainment. Women in skimpy clothing (typically running no less) are, of course, an added bonus;-)
I think we all know that until a second button makes it onto the Mac mouse, they will never achieve corporate recognition. x86 platforms are up to 3 sometimes even 4(!) buttons. Forget the color, its the buttons that matter!

Thanks for the story!

On second thought, this was probably unnecessary. Next time I'll get more coffee before posting.

All kidding aside, what do the folks on the other side of the pond think about our politics?

Maybe if we vary the air in the windbag driving it...
Nope. Just when I'm talking to folks like yourself who seem to need the help;-)
Ah yes, a search engine company attempting to "find" itself. Maybe they could just goo... never mind.
Thanks letter K! I honestly thought it was alterior all these years. DO'H!
