Making Ice Without Electricity

j-beda writes "Time Magazine is running an article telling us how Dave Williams is trying to make ice for third-world applications using the Hilsch-Ranque vortex-tube effect (first developed in 1930 by G.J. Ranque), where swirling air is split into hot and cold components." The method is horribly inefficient but Williams is hoping it could yield helpful results in areas where electricity is really not an option.

    The last link is to an article published by the Washington Post that repeats lies from an anonymous senior White House source that the Democratic governor Blanco was slow to declare a state of emergency. But the Washington Post was forced to issue a retraction that you can see at the top of the page.

    The White House total fucks up the disaster relief ( Google "golden 72 hours"), then publicly denounces others for playing the "blame game" while an anonymous White House source spreads lies blaming the local and state governments.

    Now almost a week later you are trying to spread the same lies on Slashdot. Shame on you!

    That is because it has been proven and shown time and time again that when a crises starts it's negro's that will riot and loot before any other race. In fact the number of time sthat negro's loot and riot far exceeds instances of other races, White, indian, asian, or even jewish.

    Yeah, I know this post isn't PC and I'm pretty sure that I will rated as troll, but truth is truth.
