Open Source Software

I have been doing a lot of research about open source software because it is one of the things I need to do an article for my boss in two weeks. I enjoyed reading and learning about it, a first in my job. Open source software are programs developed by developers which source codes can be viewed, edited, altered and enhanced by members of the community who use it (Of course, restrictions apply). Users can distribute the program, modified or not, without any copyright infringements (again, certain rules apply).

You might be surprised how we use open source software programs everyday – Firefox, Media Player, FileZilla and XVid converters are great examples.

Here are a few more:
1. MPlayer
- It is a a movie player which runs on many systems, you can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5, WMV and even H.264 movies

2. Notepad ++
- It has more enhancements over the WordPad, a basic tool for programmers and encoders. Some of these are drag-and-drop, multiple clipboard availability, split screen editing, spell checker, find and replace multiple documents, and file comparison.

Why A Bunn Home Coffee Maker Brews Better Coffee

If you are looking for a coffee brewer that brews coffee better, you should get a bunn home coffee maker. One might say that a good coffee depends on the beans, and while it is true, coffee brewers play a huge role in ensuring that these coffee beans are brewed to its precision to extract the best possible taste!

Here are the reasons why BUNN coffee makers brew coffee better!

1. With a typical coffee brewer, coffee brews at an inconsistent temperature. When this happens, the flavor of the coffee suffers. It the water gets too cold, the flavor gets left behind. If the water gets too hot, the taste of the coffee can become bitter. With BUNN brewers, the water-to-coffee contact is timed precisely so that your coffee is not over-extracted and never bitter!

2. When you use a typical coffee maker, the water is heated DURING the brew cycle, dripping it slowly to the beans. It makes the brew cycle longer so your coffee eventually tastes bitter. BUNN brewers ensure that water is consistently brewing at the temperature of 200F, the optimal brewing temperature.

3. When water is dripped slowly over the coffee beans, it doesn’t wet all the beans evenly, overextracting some of the beans. This will result in bitter coffee. With BUNN, water is quickly released all at one to create the needed mixing action to extract evenly the flavor from the coffee grounds!

Gold Bullion Fun Facts

If you aren’t familiar with gold bullion coins, here are some fun facts:

1. The U.S. Mint Began Minting Bullion Coins in 1986

Most new investors don’t know that any American bullion available prior to 1986 was in the form of bullion bars or traditional coins. This tended to make it hard for the average person to invest in metals, because bars tend to be heavy and large, and older coins have a higher value as collectibles.

2: Some Native American Tribes Make Their Own Bullion

Legally, most of the recognized Native American tribes are listed as sovereign nations, so they have the right to mint their own coinage. Tribes such as the Shawnee Nation have issued collectible silver coins in one-ounce silver.

3: Bullion Is Legal Currency

Most of us are aware that US bullion rounds have denominations. The Silver Eagle, for example, has a denomination of $1, while the Gold Eagle coins range from $1-$50, and the Platinum Eagles top the cake with values from $10-$100.
