Since when is JavaScript a Microsoft trademark?  On a banner ad for IE9, I saw “The New Microsoft JavaScript (TM).”  WTF?

There are two full pots of decaf coffee.  This is a logical impossibility:  There are two pots.  The machine brews as soon as you pour water into it.  This means that one pot must always be empty for filling the machine.  How did they get two pots full of coffee?  Other than using a cup or something to fill the machine but…
