Trust me, I know they serve Guinness in cans and bottles (I have a home nitro set up, so I just buy kegs), but Guinness is better tasting and more closely resembles keg Guinness when it is server out of the can into the glass. The bottles taste somewhat different, or have a different mouth feel. When not within reach of my Guinness keg, I choose cans because they more closely resemble true American Guinness Draught.
That being said, the "true" Guinness that was spoken of above, resembles (but is not exactly) Guinness Extra Stout that we can get in the US. It is slighly more sour, and not creamy like our normal Guinness, as it is not server with a nitrogen gas mix.
If you put razor blades or the like in brownies, that would have the potential to be bad.
First you make delicious brownies.
Then, you add things such as chocolate chips or sprinkles.
Then, you get a bit daring and start adding toothepaste.
Next thing you know, you're adding razor blades and glass shards, the dog's missing, your girlfriend is pregnant, and you find a bloody machete under the seat in your car..
you are correct. many disk array vendors have been doing this for years. they have huge amounts of ram cache that is backed up by largish batteries, with redundancy of course. This is really nothing new. Even a low or mid-end disk array that scales perhaps up to around 10 terabytes has this involved.
Are you aware of how they figure out the horsepower of an engine? They measure the torque. Then they run that torque figure through an equation to calculate horsepower. You can't have one without the other, but you can have not enough torque when you need it. Torque is what you feel when you are driving, not horsepower. More specificall, in a truck you would want torque in the low end of the the rpm-band, that's where it is helpful.
it's already being done, just not on cheap printers. color laserjets have had sensors for years to auto calibrate the CMYK color mixing and such, as well as sensors to correct paper scew. it's just like anything else... you want features you have to pay for them...
Did you have a point? CO2 is not "nicer" simply because it mixes better. The 2 gases simply have different qualities. Nitrogen also has a sweeter taste, CO2 has a more bitter tasts. You can't simply say one gas is better than the other - they server different purposes. For Guinness, most people prefer it poured with a Nitro tap, as St. James Gate says it should be poured. It is true that CO2 is more disolvable, but the whole purpose of the Guinness-style stout nozzle is to get the nitrogen out of the liquid to form the creamy Guinness-style head.
I have a Guinness tap I made at home, and you need more than the special stout/restrictor plate nozzle. The other half of the mix is a nitrogen/CO2 mix (usually 75%/25%). It is what gives Guinness it's creaminess look, as well as the cascading shower of bubbles when poured just right. The setup is probably another $150 beyond what it would cost for a normal beer tap (I have both).
Also, nitrogen tanks are thicker because they are filled to much higher pressue, and thus are more expensive for the tank, as well as the gas mix.
Still, nothing beats having Guinness on tap at home. Haven't met anyone yet who isn't impressed, especially when I am serving my own brewed beer through it on one spout, and Guinness on the other...
I agree. I also have been working with.Net 2003 Server Beta and will take my lovely big iron unix boxes and small iron linux workstations any day of the week. Even on Sundays.
you are not correct saying that "a 2-stroke engine of any size is very damaging to the air quality."
Perhaps you haven't noticed, but there are many new two strokes that run cleaner than 4 strokes. Go look at new outboard boat motors... a 2 stroke doesn't have to be dirty.
uhhh... do you know much about engines? This is what two strokes are made for.
Why isn't it a 4-stroke? Weight. Size. Power. 2 cycles like this one will produce gobs more power with smaller weight than 4 strokes. Plus they are simpler, easy to rebuild, and can be mounted in different positions because they don't have an oil sump.
Actually, yes they do. While your trip to Home Depot may only show 4 cycle lawn mowers, most of the pros use 2-cycle lawn mower engines. And you can still buy them.
I'm sure you know the answer, and I would love higher quality phone service.
But bottom line is money. They already have an existing infrstructure that works. It took a long ass time to install it, and it will take a long ass time to replace it. When fiber is run to every home (and utilized), is when we will get better quality. That will probably be around 2020, because that is a number I pulled out of my ass.
There will be early adopters. And kludges, etc - to get good quality out of copper (like ISDN, etc). But they are jsut extending the life of copper until fiber is in place.
And the customer will gradually pay for all this transition. maybe.
Unless cell phones completely dominate phone companies even more than they already do...
I'm not sure, but my point is it still is not an easy task to graduate from Yale with a degree, or get an MBA from harvard, no matter how you got in. I am in college right now, and even if my dad got me accepted, I still have to take the tests, go to class, study, and pass classes.
Maybe you didn't take american government in high school, or maybe you aren't in high school yet, but the electoral votes decide the presidency. Whether that is the right or wrong way to do it, is up to debate, but this is not the first time that the electoral vote has been difference from the popular vote.
if you want that system changed, then do something about it. but that's the current system, and that's how it works right now.
When you have gotten your degree from Yale, been a figther pilot, Governor of a state, partial owner of a baseball team, and president of the most powerful nation in the world, let me know.
Vocabulary may not be his (or my) strongpoint, but one can't be a dumbass and have a pretty good list of accomplishments that you will never obtain.

A very slippery slope

Acutally, a big B is Byte, a small b is bit.
MB = MegaBytes
Mb = Megabits
GB = GigaBytes
Gb = GigaBits
So which is it?

nice bias you have there. As someone who has run gentoo, debian on pa-risc, redhat, mandrake, and slack, I think you should be more careful.
I like different distros for different reasons, but at home I run mandrake. It works and is good for everyone.
statically linked libraries, dude.
Thanks for the link buddy!

Here, here. I got a new Kimber Custom 1911 and love the 1911 design. A true piece of art and functionality.
You should be nice to your fellow slashdotters and provide a link. It is really easy.

If it wasn't 900MHz, it was, almost without a doubt, 46-49 MHz.
Actually, it's both. Pr0n.
