Purdue Makes Trash To Electricity Generator

musicon writes "A group of scientists at Purdue University have created a portable refinery that efficiently converts food, paper, and plastic trash into electricity. The machine, designed for the U.S. military, would allow soldiers in the field to convert waste into power. It could also have widespread civilian applications in the future. Researchers tested the first tactical biorefinery prototype in November and found that it produced approximately 90 percent more energy than it consumed."

Any news on the Slashdot headline spellchecker?

I ask becaue it currently says "Purdue Makes Trash To Electicity Generator". Surely science can put cures for global warming, cancer etc. on the back-burner and put its efforts towards solving this pernicious problem?

My son attended classes with Neil Havens Rodreick?

The 29 year old who was pretending to be a 12 year old was in my son's class.

We've sent the kid to a shrink to find out if the pedophile did anything to him. I'm told this doesn't make my son gay if anything did happen. I don't think I buy that.

I plan to sue the school board for letting a 29 year old convicted pedophile attend classes with a bunch of seventh graders. My son's mother is telling me I shouldn't sue unless he's been molested. I also want to see the damn school board and the principle fired for their incompetence.

I saw an interview on TV where the damn principal was yammering about what a "Good student" he was.

What the ****?????

Watch the video here:

Any ideas on what I should ask for when I sue? If my son's been turned gay then I damn well better get a few million in compensation so I can pay to have him set straight. I'm gonna file criminal charges against the school board.
