The first season was great - some of the better television I've seen in recent years. The second was OK but was cut short (only 11 of a planned 24 episode season) by the writer's strike. Things went waaaaaaay downhill when it finally returned with gimmicky plot twists and whiny characters...

I'm a big Tom Robbins fan, and just learned that his next book comes out in a couple weeks. It's a children's book about beer for grown-ups??!?!? Sounds like something only he could write! Amazon.com: B Is for Beer: Tom Robbins: Books Amazon.com Review Book Description A...

Paid $1.41 yesterday in St. Louis. Same station is $1.39 today...

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm....

Assuming you have a PC named "Familyroom", and it's on the same network, and everyone's part of the same group and sharing, that shouldn't be an issue. The problem could be that your one PC isn't recognizing the other by name. What I did at home, as mentioned above, is to connect them to...

Correct: Right-click My Computer Select Properties Go to the Computer Name tab Click Change The Workgroup field will be on the bottom of the 'Computer Name Changes' window that opens. You'll need to reboot after joining.

I set up static IP addresses for each device behind my router. Then on each computer I shared any folders I might want to access from another machine. On the other PCs I'd just map a drive to: \\192.168.1.x\sharedfoldername Voila! I hook my printer up locally to one of the desktops, then...

About 6 weeks ago I brewed a hoppy brown ale which I'm turning into three beers: a brown ale, a braggot, and a holiday-spiced ale. The braggot will have to wait until T-giving 2009, but I'll be serving up the other two next week.

On to the second page and no mention of "Super Size Me"? I don't eat fast food any more - not that the movie had anything to do with it. I'd rather take a little more time and pay a little more to enjoy food made by a non-chain. It helps that I don't have kids!

The Storm does all those things. I attended a Verizon/RIM 'First Look, First Touch' launch party last week and saw all of those features in use. Watched the "Iron Man" trailer and it looked great. Comes with an 8GB microSD card for loading up your favorite a/v files. Visual voicemail is...

Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man. Dude :D That's probably my "favorite" of all time to watch, but the "best" movie I've ever seen is Once Upon A Time In The West. Directed by Sergio Leone, score by Ennio Morricone, and starring Fonda, Bronson, Robards... On...

We live in the woods and consequently have all sorts of critters hanging around. The squirrels chewed through a rubbermaid trash can to get at our bird feed so I invested in a few galvanized trash bins for the grain. I keep big sacks in their original bags but put specialty grains in gallon...

My roggenbier was the worst stuck sparge I've ever encountered, but the end result was worth all the hassle! We used the yeast cake from a pale ale (S-04, IIRC). That recipe had rye as 60% of the grain bill. I believe style guidelines call for a minimum of 50%. Use some rice hulls! I also...

At a recent beer festival, it was recommended to me to blend a barleywine with a robust porter.... DELICIOUS! The barleywine eased some of the porter's burnt notes, while the porter cut some of the barleywine's sweetness. Too bad I don't have any of either variety on hand right now. Sounds...

Work: We buy all our PCs from Dell with a three year warranty. Once the hardware is no longer covered it's time to consider a replacement. Home: Take an old PC and beef it up with as much RAM as you can and then assign it a purpose. I've got one for editing audio (I record live concerts)...

I haven't used mini-kegs for over ten years, but just recently picked up a few that I will fill this weekend. In preparation for that I was doing some research and found some documents that will answer your questions: http://www.brew-winemaking.com/ProductPDF/4900.pdf...

It depends to a certain extent on the weather - cold and wind will cause you to burn more gas. Generally, I'll do four 5 gallon batches with my turkey fryer before starting to worry about it - five out of tank is not unheard of at all. You just don't want to run out in the middle of the...

As everyone else has said - you do not have sufficient RAM to do, well, much of anything! I do desktop support at a university and we are hesitant to load XP on any computer with only 256MB of RAM knowing there will be performance issues. RAM might be cheap for you, though there are some...

I've got a 26 mile drive each way - about half on the highway and half on winding country roads. About 18 months ago, the university gave everyone free passes to ride public transportation which totally rocks! Right now I drive 20 miles to the train station then ride 25 minutes to a stop one...

Nice article about the local homebrewer who was selected to brew a beer on a large scale for this festival. I believe they made 15 barrels of his Rye Pale Ale. I had some last weekend and it's delicious...
