Fumes generated from any type of cookware, not just non-stick, can adversely affect pet birds under negligent cooking conditions. With unusually sensitive respiratory systems, birds can also be injured by many other kinds of household fumes, including aerosol sprays, burning butter or oils, and cleaning solvents.

I cannot speak to the problems with polymerized teflon, but I would doubt they would be significant as the chains are long, and chemically linked to the fibers.
Yes, when I create a site that parodies people like you who post on slashdot (and the paranoid culture and driveling writing on slashdot), I can use the images from slashdot. I probably wouldn't do this, as you understood that you could be mistaken, but you were modded up to +3 informative while being mistaken.
I must note that this only applies in the US, as parody is protected here, whereas it is not in other countries. See PubLaw for a better description. (I found this by google BTW)
The primary case was a faulty/worn valve that allowed the water (being used in cleaning the machinery and reactors) into the tank. This in and of itself isn't a hugely suprising thing, valves wear down over time.
The first problem was that the MIC process had been scrapped in the US by UC as it was old and better processes had been developed.
Second, regardless of what happened with the valve, the tanks were never meant for long-term storage (which is what they were being used for.)
Third, the flame tower was of insufficient size. If it had been of proper size it would have consumed the MIC before the chemical left the plant.
Fourth, the warning alarm was not heard by the citizens and was probably never sounded. The plant manager claims that it was sounded, but even if it was the surrounding populace wouldn't have known what it meant.
Fifth, a plant like this should never have been in a large city to begin with.
Sixth, there were no backup machines. This alone would probably be culpable in the US when dealing with such toxic products.
I would say that UC got off lightly with only 500 Million in fines, as any chemical engineer with proper training in plant design and safety could point out these problems.
I know in class (I am a Chem E. at UIUC) the professer said essentially that he doubted that this award would ever be given to Lauterbur because he wasn't the kind of person who politiced well.
Looks like he was finally recognized!

Actually it can (and oftain does) go the other way-- Logitech has been making trackballs for years (7+ if I remember correctly) with optical sensors using lasers to track the movement. and then ~4 years ago Micro$oft began to do the same thing in their trackballs...
My family is christian yet we go skiing almost every christmas(last year there wasn't enought snow), the best day of the year, small lift lines, usu. a nice sunny day. I also live within 10 minutes driving time from three world class ski areas, so it is a _little_ easier for me to go skiing than your average joe.
I personally drive a 1982 Chevy Impala, a boat. The great thing is that I can actually fix most problems--it failed its safety inspection recently due to some rather old parts, and I spent about 15hrs replacing all of the parts, which saved me $700-$200=$500, but it also took two weekends. You can actually do work on it, but it takes time.
Most people don't want to do this though, so as cars become more electronics based it helps the shops for all the people who can't/won't fix their own car. The other part is akin to the "windows" phenomenon-people don't care about quality, only that is gets the job done eventually. Cars now are designed to get the dealer the most profits, and forcing you to go in to get things fixed is a great way to do it.
I am also doing the same type of report at UIUC, so thank you for asking this question for me.
I found Free For All by Peter Wayner helpful on both sides-- 99% of the book is pro open-source, but on page 169 it has a tidbit of anti-open source-- what about the programs that have little to do with the community, like air-traffic control programs.
Second is something my teacher put me onto, using the microsoft stance on intellectual property/making the leap yourself, use anti-fileshaing/copyright protection examples of how loss of intellectual property will cause the loss of variety (no more pop artists that are only in it for the $$, although some people would gladly perform out of the joy of it, most wouldn't) and people wouldn't create software for free(*COUGH*)
You could also do the lack of support for open-source software. Hope this helps you with your paper
First, the exploit... there is a bug in the damage routine that allows a player to avoid AoE damage if they are far enough off on the Z-axis(up/down).
Second, the clan... A high leveled guild decided to see attempt to kill a "god". The GM's found out about it.
Third, the takedown... the creature the guild set out to take down would only spawn after four watch-dragons had been destroyed, and after three of the four had been killed the GM's stepped in. The clarics were standing in an area that was far enough down to avoid the AoE spells, so they were busilly healing. The GM's tried to prevent the spawning of "the Sleeper" by despawning the fourth dragon, this caused the spawn of the Sleeper, whom they also dispelled. The GM's then moved on to BAN ALL PLAYERS in the zone, even those who just had corpse's in the zone, for using this exploit.

But look at the actual results of all the alternative power systems, few to none have been released. there was talk of solar, nuclear, and "renewable" energy sources (hydrothermal), but how many of these have entered widespread use?

The nasty organic solvents tend to be non-polar, but so are things such as heavy metals, so the metals will be held by the Ionic liquid. The other thing about the salt they are using is that it must be a very weak Ionic bond, because the lowest Ionic bonded substance boiling point I have seen(in my limited experience) is about 600 celcius(silver niterate), table salt melts at ~6000 degrees celcius(unless I am being broken).
This leaves one question, how do they do the heating, and what are their costs?

The question about LCD's is are they worth all of my hard earned money vs buying a better computer? I don't think that is possible, plus seems better to have the ability to buy a better motherboard, but I guess if they were cheap enough *looks at sony et all* I would most certainly buy it.

I do not claim that they are not importent, I simply offer the fact that in a case with money very few people act "ethically" look at my post, do I advocate bad ethics? I simply say that realistically there have been many cases of ethics being thrown aside for money, that is the point I want you to see: Act ethically but beware the possibility of those that don't do it, which seems to be the majority(or a minority that has far greater power than you seem to give it credit for) if history can serve as an example.

Look at Swiss banks, they held the money stored by victems of the holocaust, look at any case where money is involved and you will see a lack of ethics. Drug dealers will kill one another just as soon as looking. In economics there is very little on ethics, it is a cold law of suppily and demand. People are numbers in economics(and by extension politics), workers in the 1870-1930 were disregarded in issues of safty. Even slavery is alike, no ethics for profit. If greed is involved very few people will act ethically.

Couldn't we solve this by installing sensors on the front of the boat to detect reefs and alert the captain? This might solve some of the problems. Could we just make sensors that detect mental function in the Captains of ships? That would have prevented the exxon valdez and many other disasters.

Would you go to a OS that is not a standard, and, for all intents and purposes, dead? Mac is a great OS for some things(like usability) but when you get into power Linux or windows beats it. Case in point-- I am taking a 3d animation class, we run the software on some old g4's with os 9, and i also have a copy for home use, and the programs run more smoothly on my homebox which has less ram and has other issues(like a bad 3d accelerator). But the rendering and creation was many times faster. Also there are significantly fewer products for Mac OS, and without those what is a computer good for.

Remember people, the computer literate are the minority, my mother is a good example-she uses email only, and learning anything more than basic word processing seems to be impossibe(she can't even use napster).
But assume that millions now can use the internet, as opposed to the minority that currently do, this will also help people in less wealthy nations to afford to use the internet.
This console should help linux get a foothold in the mainstream market and also bring gaming companies to begin to support linux in the computer market
also an open structure would allow ANY person (with the nessary skills) to create a game, instead of an elite few.
The thought also occures, is it going to be Jedi v. Sith, or will it be many races and the ability to explore many worlds and space. You could do a space sim and a world-based system. Sound cool? lets lobby Lucasarts to do this.
All geeks in space episodes contain a reference to windows karma and I was wondering what determines this, is it random, or is it as it appears; windows is about a stable as a laid-off postman with two loaded semi-automatic rifles. Also, windows seems to detect that you run linux or even think about running linux this causes crashes. But there is no karma, it is only how much you love Bill. Monopoly- (Bill Gates' definition) a board game comprised of 36 squares where the object is to control the world.

actually the admin has been nice enough to copy a page detailing the amount of traffic that the box has put out here, so enjoy the show folks.
I don't think it will be necessary (unless 100MB isn't enough :P )
As a sidenote: congrats to Perry and Nasko!
