they are using the electrons generated by the bacteria to create a voltage diffrence on an anode!!!!!

huh? it is not running off any premis except that it is digesting the materials like the processing plant, but rather than letting that electron rejoin its friends when it is released, they create an anerobic environmnet which allows them to capture it, which creates a voltage diffrence in the anode, which they can use to make power....the methane gas can still be used to power the other processes in a treatment plant as they are already.
it does not use gas...it uses the processing of the waste itself to make the electricity.
the bacteria produce an electron when they "eat" a waste molecule...they are taking that electron and putting it to use.

yeah, it was mentioned on Fox news by some Democrats complaining about how money was being "wasted" to turn Turkey parts into energy.
AFAIK it works, and it works even better for stuf like oil sand, allowing the processing of the petrolium products from the sand which was never possable before.
what sucks is when jobs move into countries where free men and women would never want to go, like China, not that China would allow any out side workers in their country.
tehre is a legal definition between cult and religion.
Wicka is a religion, Zooastrianism is a religion, Egyptian god worship is a religion, Nors god worship is a religion, Chritianity, no matter what sect is a religion, etc.
but if you decided to start your own religion today, that does not meet the legal standards for religion, so you can not get tax benifits for being a non-profit place of worship, your "practices" might be illegal Rastifarians have the right to smoke pot, and Native Americans have the right to their Peode, but you would not unless you identified with one of those religions, and showed legal proof of that.
it does not matter what I say to you, you will take an issue that is case by case and very spesific in nature and generalise.
here is a nice fat generalisation for you frenchy....
in the US, Freedom OF Religion is an important personal liberty that can not be infringed upon by any laws.
in France, tehy take personal liberties very lightly it seems and think of them more as an ideal to stive for if possable rather than an imutable right bestowed upon them by the very fact that they are born.
the US: Rights are given to us be God/Nature Europe: Rights are given by our government.
we get around that in the US by keeping a running definition of what are religions (based on the census) and what are cults, so bob's church of jig hopping worship does not qualify as a religion.
I also believe that I covered the idea of Nudity (infact, I directly mentioned it)
Nudity is against the law and so their for is limited to appropriate suroundings where everyone is a consenting participant, either watching or striped.
as for the give and take, in the US, we have a strong desire to keep our rights and not give them up willingly. there are better alternatives that protect personal liberty in the case of fixing the problems that religion causes in french schools than what has been implimented....perhaps it is just because int he US, we have has nearly 50 years of tolerence education and our minorities push harder every day for more tolerence education that I see such programs as a better alternative to limiting personal liberties, but I see almost no reason to limit personal liberties (with in socialy acceptable norms, etc)
as for the swim class, we pay for it. in the US, by LAW, we have to provide an apropriate education that respects religious beliefs of students where if the educational curcumstances conflict with a religious belief, the student will be allowed to be excused if the community does not provide the program, or if say the school district is mostly Muslim, they will make part of the curriculum seperate swim classes for the sexs.
I find it actualy quite horrable that a french school would force say an Iranian teenager to remove her Burka or coverings, and dress in a swim suit in the presence of Male students. that is nearly a defilation of her in her religion and will taint her to other men.
I suspect that most religious groups will open up their own private community schools and take their kids out of the public schools.
this might be fine with you all over there, I mean there is almost a social segrigation of ethnic groups to the point of the extreme where some groups do not have to interact with other groups because the communities have such comprehensive services, but in the US, it is just all mixed up...heck, in a city to the north of where I live, called Farmington, there are over 500 distict ethnic groups all living together and going to the same schools, and inter acting with each other....it is one of the most ethnicly diverse cities in the US.
If you allow religous garments then you start having to define religions
no you don't. the religion belongs to the person wearing the item, and the school should not be involved except for tolerence education, and defence of a person's individual liberties.
Should a child be excused from swimming lessons as due to religous regions she cannot remove her burka?
yes, if the school does not offer an all girls swim class lead by a female teacher. otherwise, that girl will have to take swiming with women.
Basically it gets messy
not really. all it takes is some tolerence education, and some changes to class types to be able to be inclusive.
the US can't be the only place that has been able to respect an individual's right to self expression in the public space.
prime rights are individualized. so a private citizen has the right to express themselfs in any way they like as long as a law is not being broken (can't come to school naked, etc.). that is a right.
we have seperation of Church and state, but by state, we mean that governments and their agentcies cannot impose a religion on citizens, or make rules/laws that favor one over the other.
students are not part of the government, that is why they can express their religious diversity in school and can even use school grounds to have a religious club (they do not get to use school funds, and a teacher can not be involved in it in any way).
yes, Hubble is great and has provided a lot, BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it is old and eath based telescopes can do the same job now with the new Optics that are out.
we need a better telescope that is more sensitive, uses a wider spectrum, and can search more sectors of the sky in a given period of time....that is what the replacment telescope will do. WHy keep the hubble when the next Space Telescope is goign to be the Hubble +1!!!
now that corperations can get police powers from a judge, but not have to follow maranda (or the equivelent in the EU) we are near approaching a corprate dictatorship.
I was looking up an article the other day for my Analysis class....I needed an article that involved "proof" meathods and such, I put in google "numerical analysis and cyphers"
I got a reseach paper about turbo codes....and now today, I see this....I swear coincidences like this don't happen by chance.
oh gee...mabye it has to do with the fact that it is old as hell and there is newer technology that will give use even better information than the hubble is cappable and do it about 50 times faster.

did you read the article?

if they were smart, they would sell the rights to the Gas to a power company who can then set up a collection building.
woops :-)

they have had such good practive at it.
you are generalising which is a no no.
it is a complicated legal process.

which Hubble is not even equiped to handle!!!!!!
so what is your point?

no you don't. the religion belongs to the person wearing the item, and the school should not be involved except for tolerence education, and defence of a person's individual liberties.

really?
in the US, Public Schools can not force a student to remove any jewlery, or garment that has religious meaning.
Yamacs, Head scarfs, face coverings, Burkas, etc. are all rights granted by the constitution of the US.
I think the French are just lazy and rather than work on tolerence through education , you just make everyone strip their religious identity.
yep, and just like the french, they resort to restricting the religious rights of its citizens.
the iPod has no function that allows piracy...I can see why tehy are not paying up.

that or SCO promised to give the money back to them just so that it will make it look like they have a legitamit claim.
