Did anyone already mention LyX? This is a nice GUI for editing Latex-like documents. It saves in plain text so it's suitable for storing in a CVS/SVN repository.
Depending on who's counting, it generates between.7 and 1.5 times as much power as it consumes to make.
The issue with ethanol is twofold:
(a) what is the net carbon effect on the atmosphere. Ethanol produced from cane gets its carbon from the atmosphere, so it is not going to contribute to increases in CO2, shown to be a primary driver for global climate change.
(b) what does it cost to produce? *if* it's carbon neutral, all that matters is the cost. It doesn't matter how inefficient it is.
You know about the ethanol economy in Brazil? I think there is just far too much misinformation about ethanol going around.
