Seriously, though, the largest public funding for R&D goes to NIH, but the economic benefits from it seem to all flow to medical industry, and I am not certain profit-driven health care industry that we have is the right one, ethically, to drive our economy.
For one thing, it reminds us how the Linux has grown. From a dozen floppies (back when I first encountered Linux as a Slackware distribution) to now, let's see, 2 DVDs... well that's about 5000 3-and-half-inch floppies.
We have gone crazy, and we can no longer distinguish between marketing and "important information about blahblahblah". Think slashvertisements. Or kdawson posts.:-)

The parent quotes the guy: "About the details, why I keep the copyright, I can't offer a statement. As already mentioned I agreed to absolute silence."
According to your explanation, the new fuel seems to possess many superior qualities, but labeling it as "green" seems weaselly marketing BS seen too often recently. When did "green" replaced "better"?

You'd be pissed off either way.
Ug! I hate puns.
Getting a drug approved by FDA through clinical trials is a part of research, I should think.
OH NO! That will suck out all the electricity!
And nachos. Don't forget nachos.

Nobama says green revolution will bring the change we need to give us hope. ;-)
Failing that, we can all become bankers and play pyramid bingo while Fed printers are still working.
Mod this "insightful" - my karma's depleted.
This is why I only buy family-size cheetos, unlike those selfish bastards that buy lunch-size packets.
Just as suspected, good part of journalism is ADD hack jobs. And they wonder why papers are dying.
That's where your backyard dirt patch growing watermelon comes handy.
Ug! This "funny" business robbed me of all my goddamn karma.
HP seems to be swallowing all the failed majors.

Btw, nobody "breaks" law of physics. If anyone/anything did, it wouldn't be law of physics, would it? :-)
Semantic pedantic...
Wonder what the record is for the fastest cockroach?

That's why I am not commenting on this story.
Slashdot sorely needs "douchebag" moderation.
Cynical NASA ploy to pull in the Russian babes. Can't blame them - it's a long-ass flight. Actually, good idea for short flights, too.

My stupid post must have touched a nerve, eh.
Because they aim to collect parking VIOLATION fee, not parking fee.
That's just so WRONG.
Dang, say hello to the Philly parking authority bastards! Tell'em I said "SCREW YOU" with a big grin on my face.
