Gordie the Chicken Whisperer is planning to sell eggs at the Bloss farmers' market on Saturdays. He gets 20-30 eggs a day from the chicken coops at the office. Organic, free range.

Why does a salad cost more than a Big Mac?



drew - 05/19/10 14:00
Amazing.
metalpeter - 05/18/10 19:36
I admit I don't really get how all the works. But my answer was going to be cause salad stuff doens't freeze right and Beef does so the beef is cheeper since it doesn't go bad. But there is another factor that makes things more complex you have to feed the cows. Somethings about supply and demand I find strange. I get it that the less that their is of something the more value it has, and the higher the profit margin is. But what I don't get is when the diary farmers produced to much milk and they dumped it, how they could then charge more for it........

EEEPC help?
Category: tech
I've had my Asus eee pc model 900 running a random Linux distro since Sept. '08 and it still works fine. I like using it for taking notes at school, and i'd use it more at home, but I can't figure out how to upgrade essential software like FIREFOX! Can't watch Hulu without an updated flash installation. Google docs is protesting the old firefox. I'm open to switching to a different OS, but I like having this one non-M$ machine. Can anyone help me?
heidi - 04/12/10 22:42
Thanks for the recommendations & thanks for the reminder, (e:uncutsaniflush). I'm okay with unstable & quirky for the eeepc. I don't keep any docs on it, it really functions as a netbook and is completely noncritical to my work. I can't wait to try out that browserlinux. Sounds perfect.

tinypliny - 04/12/10 22:21
That's good advice. Thanks, (e:uncutsaniflush). I am a HUGE wimp when it comes to switching. My lack of will shows is just how long I have managed to hang on from the strained and unraveling WinXP strands. :/
uncutsaniflush - 04/12/10 22:04
(e:tinypliny) and (e:heidi) I feel moved to say that y'all should be careful with development builds - some are amazing and unstable all at the same time. Sometimes it is impossible to upgrade a system without a complete reinstall. And I won't even mention the possibility of annoying bugs.

That being said, there is little risk of running a development build as a live system or off a usb drive as long as you trust the source.
tinypliny - 04/12/10 21:28
Or you could give this ChromeOS build a test-drive.

((e:Zobar) linked this on his blog recently.)
uncutsaniflush - 04/12/10 21:04
I'm using moblin 2.1 :::link::: on my eee 901. I'm using both Chromium and Firefox 3.5.3 and Flash Player 10 on it. The interface is more like a smart phone than a standard desktop. I like it. I've used others like easypeasy and pupeee but I prefer moblin for the nonce.

You may want to check out :::link::: for good overview of the distros for the eee. The site includes screenshots and video. The browser linux mentioned looks interesting. I might give it a try myself.
