  1. Re:E.Coli on Researchers Harness E. Coli To Produce Propane · · Score: 2

    This is Propane!

    Now if we add this to cows and pigs, we will have to fire proof all the farms.

    Indeed we do! http://timesofindia.indiatimes... "LONDON: A farm shed in Rasdorf, Germany, burst into flames after a heard of 90 cows produced enough combustible methane gas from just their farts. According to the local police, a static electric charge caused the gas to explode with flashes of flames, the Daily Star reported. Even though one cow can emit up to 500 litres of methane every day, fortunately, explosions due to cow flatulence is not frequent."

    MS uses XML to save documents. Put them wherever you like.

  3. The SWATification Of America on Massachusetts SWAT Teams Claim They're Private Corporations, Immune To Oversight · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Such a coincidence, just today I read this: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/... "10 Facts About The SWATification Of America That Everyone Should Know" "The number of SWAT team raids in the United States every year is now more than 25 times higher than it was back in 1980."

  4. Re:Economic reasons on How Concrete Contributed To the Downfall of the Roman Empire · · Score: 0

    Right! http://europe.theoildrum.com/n... ÂAnyway, even from these qualitative data we should be able to understand why the Empire was in trouble. One of the main causes of the trouble was that it had this big military apparatus, the legions, that needed to be paid and didn't bring in any profit. It was the start of an hemorrhage of gold that couldn't be reversed. In addition, the Empire bled itself even more by building an extensive system of fortifications - the limes that had to be maintained and manned, besides being expensive in themselves. [...] Military expenses were not the only cause of the fall. With erosion gnawing at agricultural yields and mine productivity going down, we should not be surprised if the empire collapsed. It simply couldn't do otherwise. So, you see that the collapse of the Roman Empire was a complex phenomenon where different negative factors reinforced each other. It was a cascade of negative feedbacks, not a single one, that brought down the empire.Â

    Luddites also worry about the environmental consequences of high-tech pollution and yet other subtle problems technology introduced, like the danger of mass control, massive surveilance, a world economy slanted to favor a few and impoverish an increasing slice of the population.
