The skin of the hindenburg was coated in a paint consisting primarily of powdered aluminium. Recent research has shown that a buildup of static electricity in the ship created an arc which set fire to the skin, which then burnt uncontrollably. In fact, the builders of the hindenburg knew this pretty much straight after the hindenburg disaster, when they went back and tested the fabric in the skin for just this type of thing. They kept the findings secret for fairly obvious reasons.
It was not the hydrogen exploding which destroyed the hindenburg.
In fact the hindenburg was designed to dissipate leaking hydrogen very rapidly to the outside atmosphere, to avoid the build up of free hydrogen within the skin.

And if it weren't illegal, I bet thats what the tobacco companies would be doing.
It is my considered opinion that the tobacco industry is the embodiment of pure 'profit above all'.
A wise man once said 'the love of money is the root of all evil'. I have always been told that if your prime motivation for being in business is to make a profit or to make money, then you shouldn't be in business.
'If you build it, they will come'. The right reason to be in business is to provide a service or product to the marketplace that the marketplace needs. If you do it properly and look after you customers and employees, then you flourish, with the by-product being that you make a return on your investment. If your only motivation is to maximise your profit, then you will fail, because the things you need to do to maximise profit are usually the opposite of the things you need to do to maximise customer and employee satisfaction, and/or product quality.
So, generating profit is an outcome of being a successful business, but you will not be a truly successful business if you are only interested in making profit.
If you asked people in any of these large companies 'who is the most important person in your organisation?', I wonder how many would say 'our customer'?
The rotten egg smell came from the petrol having too high sulpher content. This was a problem with early unleaded petrol. It had nothing to do with the catalytic converter per se.
"I thought that when Garbus asked Valenti about what a student could do if she wanted to play a 3 minutes of "Schindler's List" and Valenti replied that she could get the analog version, I felt it had to be obvious to anyone that CSS did take away fair use rights, but Kaplan actually bought Valenti's argument. I can't believe it. I just can't believe it. How ignorant is it possible to get? Yes, today, analog versions exist, but they won't in a few years."
Case in point - I want to buy a copy of the movie 'Inspector Gadget' for my son - the DVD has been available for 6 months - the VHS version wont be available (in Australia) until December. How would the Mr Valenti and the judge suggest I get my '3 minutes' in this instance?
So does that mean we will soon see Microsoft 'embrace and extend' the popular image of Santa Claus?

Here are some links to Australian technology in the same field
Eco-mmodore a full size standard sedan, which is normally powered by a 3.8l V6 or 5.7l V8, using australian developed hybrid technology. aXcessAustralia prototype - a consortium of australian auto component manufacturers have built a prototype car using the same technology, developed by the CSIRO.
I don't think NASA build their spacecraft in biologically sterile environments - more like clean rooms which keep out macro-contaminants like dust. You would need something like a bio-hazard quarantine centre to exclude bacteria et al.
The alternative would be to bake the completed craft before it is sealed and loaded onto the launch vehicle, but then the craft has to be built to withstand the baking process.
As to the cold of space killing any microorganisms on the spacecraft, in fact it has been discovered that microorganisms _can_ survive in space (I don't have a reference handy), hence NASAs decision to crash the Galileo probe into Jupiter, to ensure it doesn't accidentally crash into, and contaminate, Europa.
'According to this article there were some significant changes made in 1998. Notably, "Restaurants and bars under 3,750 square feet or retail establishments under 2,000 square feet who play the radio or television in their establishments won't have to pay [royalty] fees."'
I believe this has since been overturned by the WTO, since it unilaterally discriminates against foreign artists.

I remember seeing a cartoon, where Godot actually appears saying 'Dont even ask...'

Perhaps someone should convert the source code for DeCSS into barcodes that can only be read by a CueCat scanner
Unfortunately, for me, it is not quite zero emmissions, what with the beans and broccoli in the diet.
Of course, the occasional 'wind-assist' helps.

Carpaccio - very thinly sliced raw steak with lemon juice, olive oil, capers and shaved parmesan.
The lemon juice cures the steak slightly, but the meat is still uncooked.
I have also had tuna done the same way.
