If roast beef has sat out on a table too long can it be reheated to reduce possibility of food poisoning?

That all depends what you mean by "too long".
Potentially hazardous food, such as roast beef, should not be left out more than 2 hours. or one hour if the ambient temperature is around 90°F. At that time, the food should be refrigerated or re-heated - which would destroy vegetative cells.
Technically, you could heat the food to a temperature hot enough to kill any organisms, but this (called thermal death point) would also destroy the food. It is many, many times hotter than cooking temperature.
But just killing organisms isn't always the answer either - if the food has been left out "too long". Some bacteria and molds produce toxins that cannot be destroyed with normal heating methods. So the vegetative cells would be gone, but the toxin that could make someone sick would remain.

To what internal temperature do you reheat leftovers and for how long do you reheat them?
The answer depends entirely on the sort of leftover to be reheated. Leftover pizza would be reheated quite differently than leftover pot roast or soup.

How do you cook a roast beef ahead of time?
Cook it until about 15 minutes before fully cooked. Refrigerate or freeze until required then finish off the 15 mintues in the oven. Or fully cook ahead of time and simply warm up in the oven until hot again ensuring that you have kept the juices produced the first cooking time round in order to baste the meat to save it drying out. Make sure meat is reheated to a hot temperature to avoid food poisoning.

Can a roast that was fully cooked but left out too long be reheated enough to be safe to eat?
Roast or any other cooked meat needs to be refrigerated after it is cooled down to lessen the chances of bacteria forming. So it depends how long it has been left out. If its only several hours then it should be fine. More than 24 hours is when meat should be discarded

Coffee roasting companies and large-scale manufacturers typically use supercritical carbon dioxide to extract caffeine from their coffee beans. However, you can reduce your caffeine intake if you drink darker-roast coffees (even though for the most part it will taste very bitter) as dark roast coffees contain a lot less caffeine compared to their lighter-roast counterparts.
