Can the shape of a glass really effect a beer's flavor?

Whether or not the glass directs beer to the tip of your tongue or not is entirely irrelevant as the idea of different areas of the tongue detecting different tastes is absolute nonsense. Every part of your tongue can taste every kind of taste.

What to do with an old, redundant, unsellable white MacBook?

Server sounds like a decent idea, and I like the idea of being able to access it via remote desktop. Thanks for the suggestions!

What to do with an old, redundant, unsellable white MacBook?

I have a knackered old MacBook which has serious issues but somehow still works - see this thread for details! I'm trying to decide what to do with it, other than throw it in the bin and run away before it explodes. I saw one guy online who turned his MacBook into a wall mounted display in...

Just heard some horrendous news

Thanks for all the messages of support, I know it'd cheer my mum up to show her this thread if it wasn't for all the idiotic comments throughout. Anyone who thinks that you have to invest money to look after a horse is a good enough excuse to find it amusing that two intelligent, emotionally...

EDIT: But I wasn't looking for sympathy, it's not my loss, it's my parents'. Just felt the need to share it. Not sure why.

Absolutely no idea. It's been my mum's dream since she was a kid, I think they've only recently been able to consider it in the last few years.

I suspected I wouldn't get a complete array of sincere responses from ATOT!

I can't believe I'm actually turning to ATOT to share my horrible news but it's late in the UK and I don't want to bother friends and have been told there is no point in phoning home as my mum is beside herself. But I need to share and reflect on it. After enjoying a few days off work at my...

Climbing six mountains in six regions of the British Isles in 72 hours!

My diet isn't unhealthy, but isn't particularly optimised for any general purpose. Generally lunch is a healthy sandwich, salad or jacket potato and dinner will be something cooked at home, usually chicken or fish with vegetables/salad and potatoes/rice/noodles etc. Occasionally make stir...

MSI Wind is basically 100% compatible for Hackintoshes now

Alright guys! I've been running OSX on my MSI Wind for some time though, but as I've (finally) gotten my 24" iMac I'm moving all my files over and think I may as well give the Wind a refresh! I haven't been keeping track of developments in the Wind Hackintosh community... could someone...

New Mac Stuff! Whoohoo!

Well I've ordered a 2.66GHz 24" iMac, the only upgrade to the default spec being AppleCare. It's a shame about the 9400M graphics, especially with OpenCL on the horizon as Jack Flash pointed out, but at the end of the day I'm not going to spend an extra £180 (it'd be an extra £300 without my...
