You're going to take the word of a government employee over that of your father?!

Darker TASTES better. And it doesn't burn off that much caffeine. Besides, if you do it right, you can double the caffeine per pot.

See, and they say the NSA monitoring is a detriment to society. That agent monitoring your conversation was quite helpful. I say wiretaps for all!

NSA agents rule!
I just got a bitchin' recipe for chipolte sauce!!!

Gotta love the spies...

i hate coffee, but it is good to see that the tappers are out to help people every now and then.

NSA people know a whole lot

Several years ago I picked up a case of caffeinated bottled water and used it to make coffee. I don't know if you can still score the water, but if so, give it a shot. The resulting coffee has given me eternal life. (at least that's what the data indicate thus far)

When I was in the Navy, some shipmates of mine thought that if the filter is "this big", that is surely the amount of coffee you should use. That makes for some STRONG coffee.

Please, please, please Frank J. do something! I have a cable connection and a new computer, and IMAO nearly makes my computer crash when I visit these days because it so slow loading. What do the poor dial-up people do?

Mountain Mama, they probably commit hari-kari.

Not to be confused with Hairy Kerry, which is something far too horrible to contemplate and will lead to even more hari-kari.

Hate to comment on a tangent, but Mountain Momma is right, I have high speed internet and 2 Gigs of RAM so I couldn't care less, but the IEXPLORE.EXE process is using over 365MB of memory when IMAO is loaded compared to 18MB when Google is loaded. If you're a geek like I am, look into the XMLHttpRequest object. Very cool.

You ALWAYS make strong coffee, especially for a group. And then you have hot water available to water it down to taste for the wusses.
But the lighter the roast, the more flavor and the more caffiene. The darker you get the more... charcoal you get in your coffee. Thats all...

I have only 256 MB RAM on my laptop. When I load IMAO, I get the "out of virtual memory" error in WIN XP. Something in the left sidebar is absolutely killing the site.

I don't know what on the sidebars could cause the problems unless its Pajamas Media. My guess was that RWD picture post last Wednesday was the problem (I don't have a problem myself at home or work), but tell me if you still have trouble tomorrow after RWD's last Wednesday post drops off the mainpage.

Last time i tried black coffee it attacked my balls and stole my wallet (ITS TRUE!)

I seem to be on a roll with black jokes today... but this one is true: the coffee spilled on my dick cause my dog went spaz, and then i jumped up my wallet flew out of my pocked and landed perfectly in the cup...

Thank goodness those agents are doing something constructive to earn those paychecks!!

You can get tons of Caffeinated products, water included, from ThinkGeek.com. Just a note for the Caffein water comment fella.

Additionally, that helpful NSA agent could also tell you whether Juan Valdez had harvested your beans, and the name of the donkey he used to get them to market!
Then he could tell you the name of the illegal immigrant that roasted the beans ...
It would help immensely to personalize that coffee!

God Bless the NSA. Actually, I rather think the recipe for brownies they gave me was worth he invasion of my privacy. Even if Zawahiri and I were having a heart-to-heart.

no problem launching from home or work. Both are high speed dsl. Never aquired the coffee habit myself. Had a friend who used to add a caffiene additive to his though. Looked kind of like those little non dairy creamer packets. Then he would spend the morning snacking on chocolate covered feeze dried coffee beans. I've never met anyone as fun to sneek up on. By lunch you could make him jump almost three feet in the air from a seated position.

Thanks for the tip. I was lost this morning so I picked up my phone, called my answering machine and asked if there was an NSA agent listening. She said, "Yes" and luckily she was stationed in the DC area so she could give me directions. Cool.

I also got a date with her. It's funny, she knew my favorite restaurant and when I get off work. Weird.

My computer has been freezing up whenever I go to IMAO for the last 4 days. Today it seems normal and I'm so relieved! Life can go on!

I surfed your achives and confirmed that the problem is limited to the post with all the RWD cartoons. But the total of all of the jpgs is somewhere around 4 MB or so... nothing I can find on that individual page appears on the surface to be taking up the 300 or so MB that is killing people's computers. Very odd. I am sure Puppy Blender is to blame somehow. Or maybe Halliburton.

That is true. Stronger darker taste does not mean it has more caffeine. Taste and aroma add to the experience though and if that is what you like the effects are not imagined. Just as a clean glass of water can be refreshing.

You can actually fall into a trap with the milder roasted beans though. If you make Kona too strong you are fooled by the consistent flavor and have to go by feel like the jitters, shakes and heart palpatations.

you want the best coffee? go to www.tradewindscoffee.com and order a pound of the costa rica la minita. make it ONLY in a press after freshly grinding the beans on a slightly coarse setting. use roughly 2 level scoops for every 3 cups of water.

btw... did you also know that coffee is measured in 6oz cups rather than the standard 8oz?

Only problem with NSA was Debbie,who kept joining in phone sex ummmmmm expolits but then we met and got married.yay.NSA spies are just lonely peeps out for a good time.Have never had a loading prob at IAMO.Maybe some basic speed up stuff (delete temp int. files etc.)would help.

I like my coffee like I like my women......

Cold and bitter.
