French press preparation is actually one of the least expensive and least time-consuming brewing methods. Compare the cost of a French press to a pump-driven espresso machine or even quality drip-coffee.
For French press, all you need is the plunger pot itself ($20-30), plus a good blade grinder (~$50). You can use a burr grinder to get somewhat more consistent results, but it's not really necessary at all, especially if your blade grinder has a timer.
Now for espresso, the absolute cheapest cost of entry is $75-$100 for a cheap thermoblock pump machine and $100-$150 for the cheapest Chinese conical burr grinders on the market (Breville and Capresso). (Forget pods, they suck. Steam machines and blade grinders simply won't do the job)
That means $175-$250 is about the least amount of money you can get away with. And that's only been in the last couple of years or so with the advent of really cheap equipment. Before that, you needed $200 for the grinder and about $250-300 for a pump-driven espresso machine.
Funny is in the eye of the beholder. Eureka is a sitcom with some sci-fi thrown in. Fringe is a more serious show with some campiness about it. Not the same thing.
Again, you're comparing Fringe to X-Files. I personally don't think Fringe is trying to be X-Files. It's J.J. Abrams -- like the X-Files, it's very culty with an elaborate story arc, but, unlike The X-Files, way more edgy, twisted and weird. If you don't like anything from J.J. Abrams, you won't like Fringe because, well, Abrams' work is pretty unmistakable.
you are not allowed to use story as a bullet point in the positive column if the main story arc is stupid.
Why not? Where were the writers supposed to go with that? A starship lost in the Delta Quadrant. Of course every so many episodes are going pretty much have to be about some hair-brained attempt to get back home that fails miserably. The only way to get around that is to either not have a show based on this premise, or to establish, early on, that getting back home was not an option and they were just going to have to make the best of life in the Delta Quadrant. As long as there was any hint that they were going to try to get back home, the main story arch was doomed to failure.
With Voyager the only Trek show on for many years, the only thing a Trek fan could do was to suck it up and look passed the stupid story arch.
Agreed. The Ron Moore-run version of DS9 after the war broke out was by far some of the best Trek ever to hit the small screen. Very entertaining stuff and it always kept you guessing. I guess if you were a dyed-in-the-wool Gene Roddenberry fan, though, you probably wouldn't have liked it because it was also the least Roddenberry-esque Trek to ever hit the small screen.
Agreed. It's all a matter of perspective. If you're looking for every show to be as good as B5, BSG, SG-1, Star Trek or X-Files, you're setting your sites too high. Some stuff is fun because it's so campy.
Interestingly, that's what I like about TNT's new show Leverage. It's campy and fun. Kinda like a more sophisticated 'A-Team' but without the chicken wire, explosions, badly aimed gunfire or big goofy black pro-wrestler with a mohawk.
Go back to the original ST where each episode stood by itself and was written by people with good ideas that weren't interested in developing a space soap opera.
Um, but Star Trek is a space opera and there essentially was a story arch in TOS, it was just canceled by the network before it had time to fully develop. That's at least part of what the movies were about.
Other than having a bad case of Gilligan's Island Syndrome, it wasn't too bad. Look at the positives: they had a solid cast (I'd take orders from Janeway any day!), good character development and decent storylines (aside from the main arch).
Assuming Egypt actually manages to assert copyright on the Sphinx and the pyramids internationally (and I don't expect the international community to recognize such ridiculousness out of Egypt), he wouldn't hold a copyright on the Sphinx or the pyramids but he would still hold a copyright on his photo of them.
Well, instead of throwing a chair at you, I've decided to take your challenge! I had Netcraft test our Microsoft Office benchmark suite with Office 2007 running under Wine on Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit and under the latest 64-bit build of Windows 7.
Unsurprisingly, Windows 7 wins by a longshot! Ha! *throws chair* I'm gonna fscking KILL Mark Shuttleworth! Muahahahaha!
Actually, if he took a picture, any picture, he is a copyright holder according to the Berne Convention that every WIPO country has signed on to. That may sound like pedantry, but it's actually very, very relevant to the point of the story.
Anytime you create an original work, you are automatically a copyright holder the second you publish it. Putting it on your website is sufficient for publication.
Should all of the photos that everyone put on their websites, blogs, etc. today (potentially millions and millions of photos) be copyrighted until 2154? That's an awful waste of resources, isn't it?
I know many adults who can't conceive of any more than five senses.
And I know many adults who can't conceive of any more than 10 digits. The fact that there are a lot of ignorant people out there doesn't change the fact that if we tell a 5 year old about his sense of equilibrium, he probably won't know what you're talking about.
Hmmm...well, I think we tend to simplify things in early education because children have brains that are still developing and simply cannot understand some very subtle distinctions or abstract concepts. Ask the average 1st grader if his sense of pain comes from his sense of touch and he'll answer in the affirmative.
I think we all understand that we have more than 5 senses already, it's just that we've all had the 'five senses' thing beat into us since we were old enough to speak.
Well, if he's trying to review from a 'clueless user' perspective, he's certainly on track.
You don't get it, do you?
Adding a user through GST's "Users and Groups" is also the same thing as editing/etc/passwd,/etc/group and/etc/shadow. Guess which one a newbie end-user migrating from Windows is going to understand?
Vim and Gedit also do the same thing (more or less). Guess which editor newbies have an easier time understanding?
In fact, Brasero and cdrtools do the same thing. Brasero even calls cdrtools to do it's thing. How many newbie users migrating from windows are going to type 'man cdrecord'?
Big hint: if the answer to all of these questions is not obvious to you, my friend, then you are decidedly not helping 2009 -- or any other year -- be the Year of Linux on the Desktop.
IOW, since the court upheld in Re Bilski, this is another nail in the coffin for business patents.
What I'm waiting on is: What does this mean for software patents? I guess we're about to find out in the Microsoft v. TomTom case. I'm sure we all wait with bated breath.
I'm a genius - off to the patent office to patent this idea! I can't wait for my first royalty check.
In related news, Boies, Schiller, LLP, have filed a lawsuit on behalf of The SCO Group against dsginter, who is the assignee listed on a recent patent application for a lawsuit-based business.
That's arguably already true. For example, the earliest ancestors of the automobile were first created in 1771. But the first production car didn't roll off the line until 1901, and were not mass produced cheaply until 1908.

Even a good quality drip pot will cost over $100.

It could have been worse. Look at Enterprise. ;)
Your wpa_supplicant.conf should look something this:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="YOURSSID"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=TTLS
anonymous_identity="anonymous"
identity="USERNAME"
password="YOURSECRET"
priority=2
phase2="auth=PAP"
}
(The ctrl_interface path might be different on the Android, so YMMV)

but when I started, we didn't have all these libraries to link to. When we wanted a function to happen, we wrote it.
Functions? Back when I started, we didn't have functions. We had jump instructions.
You kids and your newfangled 'functions' and 'libraries'. Now get off my lawn!
Well, if it isn't Italian leather and made by Gucci, they certainly got ripped off.

Oh, damn it! I've never seen Star Wars! Now you've gone and ruined it for me! Now I'll never understand references like "That's no moon!"
Huh? I hoard monsters. You can't believe what I can get for those things on the black market!

A lot of the stuff for security purposes actually is for security purposes when items are sold retail.
Most people shop retail.
That's arguably already true. For example, the earliest ancestors of the automobile were first created in 1771. But the first production car didn't roll off the line until 1901, and were not mass produced cheaply until 1908.
Bought some HP photo paper later, huh? ;)
No, seriously, far too many things already use egregious amounts of packaging material, much of it ostensibly used for 'security' purposes.
Go buy a USB thumb drive and see what kind of package it comes in.
