Firstly Coffee is the second most traded comodity, behind oil.
The way most coffee is decafinated these days is with a process called the "Swiss water method".
This involves soaking unroasted coffee beans in water. The water absorbs the coffee flavor and the caffine. These beans are then trown out, the water is filtered of caffine, and only caffine. To do this the water is pased through a carbon filter. The result is decaf coffee flavoured water. This water is used to soak a new batch of beans. Scince the water is super saturated with coffee flavour, it cannot abosorb any more flavour, but it can still absorb caffine. So the caffine is removed from the beans whilst keeping the flavour. The water is used for about 3 batches then the whole process starts again with new water.
The extra steps involved in decafinating coffee is what makes it a bit more expensive. So next time you have a decaf coffee, just think of all the steps involved to make it that way.
Ohh by the way, coffee needs do be 97% free of caffine to be called decaf.
If you want to know how i know all this, i help roast coffee for Gloria Jeans
I see your point, but what i feel they were trying to convey is that humans have the power of emotion. This is something which the machines will never understand or experience. And that are emotions give us the power over machines, not intelect.
I think you will find that they offer "capless" broadband. They just Prioritise others over you when you reach a certain limit usually 6-8Gb.
Its technically not "shaping" so they dont have to say they shape your packets. Dont believe me? ring up your "capless" ISP and ask.
Also in the scene with the architect, neo is given 2 choices:
One, is he goes into the source and saves the human race. This is a option is one of logic. The other is to save the one he loves at the expense of the human race. This option is one of emotion. When neo makes his choice he makes the one based on emotion, or in other words he is human.
But any ways, thats about as far as i am going to get tonight. And i must stress this is my interpretation.
Flame away people. And yes all bad grama and spelling were intended.
OSS growth is exponential. The more people who find out about it the more people who contribute(no im not saying that all people who find out contribute, im talking about mindshare of young talent). Thus with the gradual uptake of OSS by younger gens the OSS grows while Microsoft has to spend more and more money to fund their software growth.
I think OSS is the snowball rolling down a REALLY long mountain side. Once it hits critical mass, WATCH OUT MSFT.
My 2 cents, hope i made sense
your house, ok now before you turn on the flame throwers think about it for a minute. Computers are almost part of every home. In the future more houses should have computers. And with more and more pc's being left on all the time, why not put this wasted or unwanted heat to some good use. Why not use I to heat a room or 2 in your house, or uses it to heat your water for your house, kind of like killing 2 birds with one stone.
I know a big redesign of pc hardware will have to happen for this, but hey what ever happened to prototypes and proof of concept models. Yes all my assumptions are just that, assumptions.
some one could figure a way to turn this into something like one of those big chess boards you see in some public parks. They brought chess to the pc why not bring pac man into the physical world?
ICQ 2002 comes with 128 bit encrypted chat/sg sessions, though just because it is encrypted dosn't mean that the reciver will get the message. That is the bigger issuse if you ask me. There is no way of knowing if the other party has recived the IM, only by conformation msg of course.
Bleh not making much sense. Sorry i did my best.
One of the main reasons why the large distance matters has to do with military applications.
The military dosent want to send in valuable(sp) human medics, when it can send in a Medivan with the robotic setup inside it.
Surgeons woulnt have to endanger there lives on the battle field, and some say might perform better as they are not under any physical threat.
So one day training to be a medic might not involve any form of combat training.
And if the medics play their cards right, they might even be able to VPN into work (yea ok i pushed it to far on this one).
It might be a little like when someone invents an alternate combustion engine that runs on water(hydrogen from the water) and then suddenly dissappears...... what person.
I dont think that AOL will cave into the demands.
If they do cave in, people might think twice before signing up for AOL, and present users might think about jumping ship. The numbers might sound trivial, but see numbers drop ould hardly be a good thing for AOL in its current financial situation.
So how come you have been graced with this information that us lowly plebs have not been privileged to hear?
So quick to say they have no source for their info, well where is your information comming from?
Apart from bitching and complaining can someone tell me what i can do as a person.
And dont spin me this line that i shouldnt by any cd-r's. As an Australian citizen i should be able to do somthing to stop this.
Any one got any practicle idea's on stopping this?
If the law is passed which would allow the Finnish police to give out tickets based on this information, their will be some interesting claims at the courthouse as to why the phone was travelling so fast.

Just became that much easier, now all i have to do is build myself a fusion reactor.
This could also be used as a pick up line,"Hey baby, wanna come back to my house to see my nuclear fusion reactor";)
I think it is you who are blind and jealous.
I think you have some left over anger from the days of when America was trying to beat the commies to the moon. Now its just the commies are trying to remove some of their dependence on America. Scary thought that you can't keep them in check?
America has been "sticking it to" alot of countries, particularly in this time of war. What?, you don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot? How childish
Ok so China is oppressive. But that still dose not discredit the success they have had with the technical challenge that they have set before them. There isn't a nation on this earth that hasn't done terrible things to its people.
Condemning poeple for using 2 particular words in their posts, i think that is almost considered oppressive. You might find it offensive but hey, it is a free world. You Americans think that you own these words because of how your nation is run. Please!, I need a bucket.
