    You know why some people drink Starbucks coffee, because they have no brain & have no personality, these kind of rubbish people want to be somebody like the rubbish & inculte celebrities.

  • Why do people like Starbucks?   22 hours 53 min ago

    There are some things, beyond science and math and other empirical fields, that are not opinion. At the very least, they must still be treated as such. Just ask Immanuel Kant. Because there are some people who spend their life making sure they know about things, and such people certainly exist in the coffee world.

    For those of you saying it is wrong or silly or a waste of time to have these opinions, how about this: opinions are cheap. It costs me nothing to type this up except a few minutes, and hey, I do have a life, I promise. It is not about trying to differentiate myself, I recognize that I am one among 7 billion. It's about taste, about actually paying attention to flavor and sensuality and experience. In fact, it's about deciding that my time is worth MORE than spending it drinking cheap, crappy coffee.

    When it's convenient, I'll drink gas station coffee. But the point is, Starbuck's is clearly, unanimously known to be, undoubtedly bad coffee, and that's the bottom line. Drink it if you want, what do I care. But when you have to face St. Espresso Doppio at the pearly crema-covered gates, think about what you might regret having missed every time you bought Starbuck's instead of quality coffee from a good independent coffee shop. Oh, wait, those places take a little more time and work to locate! Nevermind, don't waste those minutes. And definitely don't read "Conclusion to the Renaissance" by Walter Pater-- it will waste your time too. Hurry up, get out of here, you're wasting your time not buying cheap crap.

    I just saw this Seinfeld episode yesterday (for the 1,000th time) and now I'm craving this soup. They just make it seem so good on the show, so I must try it! It sounds delicious and your picture proves that it must have been amazing. Thanks for the recipe!

  • Charter Communications is evil   3 days 23 hours ago

    As Lazarus Long stated in the last blog, I am getting screwed by charter's inept billing department. Basically I purchased a modem from them in a separate transaction, and about 1 yr later they decide to add a lease charge to the modem I had already paid for (same store as above). My biggest mistake is cleaning out old records/receipts from years past. Now I have to prove I bought the modem from way back when while they don't have to prove anything including a lease agreement... which they don't have a record of either. I can only hope I find the receipt and set their shady business practices down. Their customer services are so beyond pathetic, if they had competition they would go under in short order! What they need a class action law suit on these crooks!

    Will you guys be attending the conference in Columbia? Also, is the conference free? I was searching the site and didn't see any prices for the two-day seminar. Your thoughts?

  • Why do people like Starbucks?   2 weeks 1 day ago

    If you think Starbucks coffee is good, you are honestly an idiot. The quality of coffee depends on the quality of beans, not machines. I would start explaining why, but your chicken brain would not comprehend it...

    CHARTER SUCKS A HEAP OF ASS THE SIZE OF MOUNT VESUVIUS. I have not been renting their lousy piece of crap modem for over 8 years, but just last week they decided they wanted to start charging me rental again so they sent me a letter notifying me that they had overlooked my failure to pay for a modem for a long time but would now generously forgive their oversight and only charge me from this day forward. I spent a couple hours on the phone getting assurances from various levels of management that this charge would not appear on my bill while they 'research' the issue. But of course the bill I received today has the charge on it. So I needed to write about this before I call the customer disservice number, because if I don't vent now my cussing is sure to make that poor lady in India's hair fall out.

    ADVICE if you buy your own modem to avoid the rental fee: SAVE YOUR PAPERWORK. FOREVER. I of course threw mine out last year with my annual cleanup of papers that are over 7 years old, so of course they now magically discover that they aren't getting rental from me.

    How can there not be any competitors taking down this piece of shit company? The biggest laugh is that I also received a goddam ADVERTISEMENT to upgrade to the bundle. So I can get screwed on phone and TV too! Where do I sign up?

  • StickyScroll - A stupidly simple jQuery plugin for fixed position elements   3 weeks 4 days ago

    Sorry, this script is outdated and isn't seeing updates anymore. The flickering started happening some time ago and I never came up with a solution to fix it. There's more info on the github page about it.

  • StickyScroll - A stupidly simple jQuery plugin for fixed position elements   3 weeks 5 days ago

    Great script!
    is there any chance to apply some easing, when the position changes?
    As far I experienced it' quite jumpy / flickering while scrolling the page.

  • Charter Communications is evil   3 weeks 6 days ago

    I've been with Charter since early 2000's. Have only paid retail once.
    Just have basic TV and supposed 8Mb internet.
    They had two 480i channels for most of the basic channels. As of yesterday, they dropped all the better resolution 480i channels leaving those channels looking like old UHF channels on CRTs. Talking to a tech today came down to them saying all will be forced to pay more for a set top box (i run cable straight to tv) and screw anyone that can't afford it. I just leave my glasses off and it looks okay. I do still get local channels in 1080i and 720p. Just a few in 1080i since most have or are downgrading from 1080i to 720p to save money and bandwidth and so I've been told by two network techs, most people can't tell the difference. I can with my now unnecessary 1080 TV. Love how these folk manipulate the masses.
    Going to save for an antenna that will get past the trees. Advertisement paid for television up until cable. No reason it still can't other than overpaid execs.

    That's pretty sweet. Why don't you give it a shot and try it in Greenville?

  • Charter Communications is evil   4 weeks 17 hours ago

    Internet with charte;r If you have HSI max 25 mgs call and downgrade now you are paying for than the HSI plus plan that is 30 mgs. The next step is 100 mgs which you dont need unless you are running a server at home. Wireless don't rent get go buy a router at any store and if you can afford it buy your own modem why pay rental on a inexpensive piece of equipment.

  • StickyScroll - A stupidly simple jQuery plugin for fixed position elements   9 weeks 2 days ago

    Hello Rick,

    I have just started to use StickyScroll (initially overlooking the warning on GitHub). Anyway, I had problems in Internet Explorer. After a bit of debugging, I realized that my problem was the call to Date.now, which is not supported by IE until version 9. I couldn't really figure out why the time was needed, so I just tried to remove the call to Date.now(). So I use:

    id = index,

    instead of

    id = Date.now() + index,

    According to my tests, this works fine in IE8, Firefox 8.01, Chrome 15.0.874.121 and Safari 5.1.2.

    If you can give me a hint about why the date/time is necessary, it would be much appreciated :-)

    Best regards,
    Lotte Mygind
