    It was not an original Idea when I did it. Also, XMLHttpRequest makes it much nicer (can post back XML, etc)

    Remote scripting has been around since before 1997, when I wrote an app that used a frame to fetch data (in the form of javascript) from the server.

    If you think the ichi ryu is not about developing intuition to see the connection in all pursuits, and practicing your craft until you can perform without thought, you have not understood the Book of Five Rings.

    I just figgured it was for the boneheaded ISPs where you have to "register" your MAC via a web based interface. So you register the MAC of a PC inside your LAN, then clone it for the router.

    Starbucks espresso roast is burnt. Espresso roast should have the natural sugars carmalized, not burnt. If straight espresso tastes of burnt sugar it is burnt. A properly done espresso should be sweet, not bitter; bitter espresso is burnt, run too long, or both. Also a properly done cappuccino should be equal parts milk, espresso, and foam, in layers, served in a clear glass mug. A macciato is espresso with one espresso spoon of foam dropped on top (not stirred in)

    Yes, I did work in a really snobby coffee shop for a while... you should have seen what we had to do to serve tea.

    Most of the coffee shops here will make an Americano (run it VERY long... to fill the cup) if you order an espresso. The annoying thing is if you make it long the bitterness comes out.

    No, the jumper is on the hard drive and the lock is on the computer case, not the keyboard. My first Linux box was set up this way, but 120MB is too small for a root partition these days, and most cases don't come with a "keyboard lock" anymore.

    You used to be able to get hard drives with a read-only jumper. Too bad they don't seem to make them anymore. It'd be cool to have that jumper hooked up to a keyed lock.
