  1. Re:Fuel consumed in Feed Lots on Manure-Powered Generators On The Rise · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Another benefit is reducing the animal waste load on local water systems. With those huge factory farms, just dumping it in the river is not an option, and there's only so much you can spread on the fields before it ends up in the drinking water along with e-coli. (The leftovers from generating methane can still be used as fertilizer, but less hazardous than the .. raw .. stuff.)

  2. Re:The inherited problem is still on Manure-Powered Generators On The Rise · · Score: 1

    Methane is even more of a green-house gas than CO2. Without this system to collect it and burn it, the cows would still poop and the methane would be released into the atmosphere.

  3. Re:Gotta raise the BS flag here... on New Evidence About 'The Great Dying' 250 Million Years Ago · · Score: 1
    it is certain that modern humans and mammoths had a fairly large intersection of existence.

    Since many large land animals tended to go extinct about the same time as modern man reached that area/continent, perhaps it would be better to say "They did lunch together"?

    That was no meteor impact, that was a Disaster Area concert!

  5. Re:Where's the Irridium on New Evidence About 'The Great Dying' 250 Million Years Ago · · Score: 1

    Only if that meteor was rich in iridium. While a global iridium layer would be good evidence that an impact happened, lack of one isn't evidence that it didn't.

    Planetary downsizing. And I'll bet that there wasn't much of a serverance package--After a few months, your Extinction Insurance runs out, and where are you then?

    Too bad none of this crowd were capable of using real weapons.

    Vercotti: Doug. (takes a drink) Well, I was terrified of him. Everyone was terrified of Doug. I've seen grown men pull their own heads off rather than see Doug. Even Dinsdale was frightened of Doug.

    Interviewer: What did he do?

    Vercotti: He used... sarcasm. He knew all the tricks, dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes and... satire. He was vicious.

    Sure. Once someone starts a fish pun cascade, there's no stopping it and it always ends in blood.

    Microsoft Word works well for that too. :)

  11. Removed from *which* page? on Justice Department Censors ACLU Web Site · · Score: 1

    How come neither of the Slashdot stories or linked news stories actually has a link or URL to the ACLU press release that was edited? (Did I miss it?)

    No, but SCO had to pay $699 for each copy of their documentation that they printed.

    Convincing of what, that the unidentified flying objects were unidentified? UFO != flying saucer.

    But the lady at the Martian Embassy was quite friendly. We had tea. :)

    How about if there's no easy way to get here from there? Should we worry about invasion by radio? (There are dozens of SF stories about that.)

  19. UPDATE: OptInRealBig's TRO Against SpamCop Di on OptInRealBig Wins Restraining Order On SpamCop · · Score: 1
    Reported at ClickZ News
    A temporary restraining order (TRO) granted Monday against SpamCop in mass e-mailer OptInRealBig's lawsuit against the anti-spam service has been dissolved and an expedited hearing has been scheduled on the issue.

    Judge Saundra Brown Armstrong of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on Tuesday dissolved the TRO she had issued against SpamCop, whose parent company is IronPort, just the day before. She also scheduled an expedited hearing for May 18.

    Woohoo!

    There's a vapourware console company and review website currently exchanging legal salvos. Check on Slashdot under games.

    Yeah, I did a double-take on that one too, but apparently they were only told of the motion when OptIn filed May 4. The court reviewed the papers and issued its ruling on May 10 without a hearing. Three working days to get a response in.
