Fire (heat) denatures the proteins in meats. It allows our body to more easily absorb the amino acids of those proteins. In other words, we extract more nutrients from cooked meat than uncooked meat.
By the way did you know than exxon announced the peak of oil for non-opec oil (60% world crude production)in 5 years ? This time this is not an ecological kook which announced it, but an oil company. Funny that nobody is reporting it that much in the press...
Link? Or should the reporters cite your slashdot comment directly?
What really surprises me about this comment is not the naivite of the comment itself but the fact that people thought this particular comment with no discernable links or references found itself t a +5, Insightful rating.
I under stand that it is currently fashionable for my fellow slashdotters to embrace the counter-culture notion that the war on terror is "uncool". But really now, lets put our preconceived notions aside when moderating for Chirst's sake lest this become a sounding board for the a vocal homogenity. Oh, wait...
The simple fact is that terrorists attack the US because they are seriously pissed off at our foreign policies, and if we would just quit trying to be the world's self appointed police force, terrorist attacks would decline dramatically.
Lets not oversimplify things. Your logic pretends that if left alone, the Islamic jihadists would leave us alone. Look at last 1400 years of history. Islamic fundmentatlists don't want to leave the rest of the civilized world alone. Quite the contrary. As medieval Europe sat paralyzed Islamic hordes repeatedly tried to conquer our western asses, even taking most of Spain for many years.
If the thousand years of violence 663 AD - European Renaisance aren't relevant to your over simplyfied argument, perhaps modern day Afghanistan will jog your memory. Women forced to wear burqa, Buddhist blown up, all forms of transmittable media destroyed. What did the peace loving Buddhists do to deserve their ancient holy shrines destroyed?
However, when traveling to another country you must RESPECT that country
Bullshit. Saying this is like saying, "If you don't like Nazi Germany, just don't go there." I'm sick of this Laissez Faire attitude towards China and their abuses of the Rights of Man. Its arrogant to think that Westerners are entitled to the freedoms we have, while people in oppressed cultures should let be.
At some point in the future China will the dominant economic force in the world. It will be much harder at that point for any country/individual/ngo to coerce China into entering the free world. At the point when China dictates international politics do you think it will respect your culture? Look to Tibet (http://www.freetibet.org/) for an example of how much China respects other cultures, and to Hong Kong (http://www.fidh.org/article.php3?id_article=846) to see how it will respect your democracy.

What about the possibility of adding some sort of peer review to Wikipedia? Instead of making the article immediately available wouldn't it make more sense to allow the next few visitors to the article to review and approve/disapprove the changes? The number of approvals required to publish a change could be in proportion to the popularity of the article.
