    Hot buttered rum. Yum!

    Interesting points about sake.

    But come on, most wine doesn't even go over 14% alcohol by volume. The difference between 14% and 18% is nearly as much as the difference between good Jack Daniels and crap.

    So how much of the rest of what you're saying's true, and how much is BS?

    I've never been to Japan, but I once ate some tuna that was slightly undercooked, so that makes me an authority on calling you out, naturally.

    Aren't most sakes of quality (i.e. expensive) supposed to be served chilled?

    When I was 11 or 12, my grandmother picked up a copy of Windows 95 for us the day it came out. She must have read about it in the paper, or something, because to this day, neither she nor my grandfather has even been able to figure out how to play Solitare, much less check email, despite my best efforts to tutor them.

    I had great fun, playing around with this pretty new interface. It was quite a step up from programming LogoWriter on our Apple IIGS (we had that computer for quite a while). But my tomfoolery didn't last too long, because I eventually made the computer do an illegal operation, which shut it down.

    I freaked out, because I thought I had broken the law and someone was going to come arrest me. Oh Windows 95, how you let me down!

    (this is just after I had gotten busted by the Man for burning down a Port-a-Potty (it was an accident, I swear), so I was a bit skittish about such things)

    I've had some interaction with Ted Kennedy, and have been rather amused by him: when he's up on stage, speaking, and being the politician, he's sharp, focused, and makes you listen to him. But before and after that, when he's not the center of attention, he's a doddering old man in orthopedic shoes who seems as though he's on the Reagan side of senility. The difference is striking.

  5. blurred areas on Google Adds Satellite Imagery to Maps · · Score: 1

    The U.S. Capitol, House, and Senate buildings are all blurred out, as though they were the naughty bits of pictures on a PG-13 site.

    All the other federal buildings in the area, including the Pentagon, aren't blurred. Has anyone noticed other things of which we're apparently not allowed to see satellite imagery? Power plants? Other federal buildings? Area 51?

    Of course, if you can get on the roof of any of a number of buildings around the Capitol, you can see everything just fine. And if you take a pair of binoculars with you, you'd get sharper resolution than any satellite pictures most of us have seen, too. Would it be illegal to publish any pictures you might take?
