Coffee or Coca Cola

Why not black teas? gives you a less peaky, more steady flow of caffeine. For the addicts, I'd recommend a good Assam, broken leaf, 3..4 minutes. For the weaklings a Darjeeling, or for the daring s pure Ceylon. Just avoid atrocities like Fannings/Dust (like in tea bags), or a Ceylon/Assam mixtures (Lipton!), though this one's not bad for iced tea. There are many ways and gadgets for making tea, but important is just: - boiling water - the leaves need some room to expand If you think these things dull, you can very well try black tea w/ Aroma. there are hundes of mixtures available, though I tend to tone them down 1:1 with plain black tea.

Don't know for sure, I've always heard that tea had less caffeine and less bad crap in it than coffee. Personally, I like the taste better simply because it seems *lighter* than coffee. BTW, did you ever get the Dynamic view to work for you again? I have the same problem now. I'm guess it has something to do with a program called SpywareBlaster that I installed, but I don't know for sure. Jeremy Falcon

Some study came out recently that said coffee was actually good for you. I remember my wife reading it in the paper and telling me I might not die in a few years after all :)

Jeremy Falcon wrote: I've always heard that tea had less caffeine and less bad crap in it than coffee. Yes, there's less caffeine in it. And IIRC, the caffeine molecules in tea are slightly different than what you find in coffee. Like an atom or three difference. :) And yes, it is lighter. And it doesn't give you a bad breathe like coffee does. Jeremy Falcon wrote: did you ever get the Dynamic view to work for you again? I have the same problem now.

Apparently it modified some IE registry keys, which affected the UserAgent string. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the path to the keys. However, if you load http://www.codeproject.com/script/misc/browsercheck.asp[^] you'll see your UserAgent string. Search the registry for anything in the string which you feel doesn't belong there (mine looks like this: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)). You'll see if the key/value is deletable or not - it's under HK{LM,CU}\...\IE Something\UserAgent or something like that. -- Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein.

Hot damn it worked! Looks like I owe you a :beer:. The catch is I uninstalled Avant a long time ago and this only recently started to happen. Looks like Chris M. and Co. needs to do some more debugging on their browser detection. Jeremy Falcon

Yeah, but Coke helps US corporations to take over the world. So, who do you choose ? Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder

I mix them. You gotta do it with correct coffee though, otherwise you get lotsa ugly foam. And both have to be cold. Tomaz

Coffee is definitely better for you. I drank 6 - 8 pots a day for years without any stomach upset, but a few Cokes will drive me up a wall. Tea is a good alternative, but contains a lot more acid to upset your stomach lining - it's the same compound used to transform soft skin into shoe leather. Two small cups of tea are enough to send me back to bed so nauseous that I can't stand up. Beer, on the other hand, has none of these nasty side effects, and makes the day go by so pleasantly. Plus, you get a lot of healthful exercise, dashing for the restroom every 20 minutes or so; that helps to limit the number of meetings you get invited to, also.:-D Heard in Bullhead City - "You haven't lost your girl -
you've just lost your turn..." [sigh] So true... -
Coke has got to be worse. Why not have a poll ? Vote 1 for coffee being worse, 5 for coke being worse. And FWIW, I believe that a poll like this can be skewed by putting your preferred option at 5, a lot of people will just like the post and vote 5 for it.

When I was a kid, I remember my grandfather telling me that you could put a nail in Coke and given enough time it would dissolve it. If true, that doesn't seem like a very good sign.

You drink catnip? Wow, the things I am learning about my new coworkers :) At Microsoft they call it "drinking the Koolaid", maybe the CodeProject thing should be "drinking the catnip"... Marcie

snopes says no[^] Coca-Cola does contain small amounts of citric acid and phosphoric acid; however, all the insinuations about the dangers these acids might pose to people who drink Coca-Cola ignore a simple concept familiar to any first-year chemistry student: concentration. Coca-Cola contains less citric acid than orange juice does, and the concentration of phosphoric acid in Coke is far too small (a mere 11 to 13 grams per gallon of syrup, or about 0.20 to 0.30 per cent of the total formula) to dissolve a steak, a tooth, or a nail overnight. (Much of the item will dissolve eventually, but after a day or two you'll still have most of the tooth, a whole nail, and one very soggy t-bone.) “Our solar system is Jupiter and a bunch of junk” - Charley Lineweaver 2002

Ah, Koolaid, is fruity drink (sold in powder form) generally given to children (in the U.S. anyway) because it's cheap, tasty, and high in sugar. Marcie
