Pur's flocculant powder [http://www.purpurifierofwater.com/] is a better solution, particularly for water that's full of particulate contaminants. Kills everything, removes pollutants, and makes the water clear.
The LifeStraw's great virtue is its minimal cost per gallon over the lifetime of the unit.
I'll be happy when the middle-men are completely done away with and first-run shows are produced with no need for networks. We're already seeing quirky comedies doing well on Youtube but those are extremely low-budget. It'll take some bucks to put together something like Firefly on a fan-funded basis.

How do they respond, for example, to standard emotion recognition tests? Test the capillary dilation of the so-called blush response. The fluctuation of the pupil, and the involuntary dilation of the iris.
Perhaps they've got something in common that makes them less able to differentiate between machines and humans.

Is there an "Outside my limited knowledge of Joss Whedon's oeuvre" mod? That'd be cool. Or maybe I need a blow to the head, I'm never sure.

The hammer is my penis.
I'm glad they reined those things in.
Alternately, a mission to Jupiter that will trigger the monolith's sun conversion program.

...that hydrogen was measured in minutes. So, if we get 100 miles per three minutes of hydrogen, that's 2000 miles an hour! Awesome.
