Hydroelectric power’s dirty little
secret

Hydroelectric power’s dirty little
secret 03/14/2005 04:52 PM

Hydroelectric power has long been looked at as a clean, renewable source of energy, one that is much less harmful to the environment than many alternative sources of power. New research suggests it may not be so clean after all.

Organic matter from plants decomposes in the new lakes and forms methane, which is then released into the atmosphere when the dam water is used to drive the turbines.

Very interesting. For more on this story and other highlights from the week's science news (and a bonus book review), check out this week's edition of Science.Ars.

ipodsdirtysecret.com's dirty secret

ipodsdirtysecret.com's dirty secret 12/02/2003 01:43 AM
The guy who donated bandwidth to ipodsdirtysecret.com (about two brothers who spraypainted complaints about lousy batteries on iPod posters) is pissed a plenty:

"Jesus, I cannot BELIEVE you guys. In good faith, I put the video back on the basis of the email you sent me, hoping that at least some people would click on the mirror link at at least get the truth, and information about how to replace the battery. Instead, you removed the mirror link entirely, used the bandwidth and resources that I was providing you exclusively on your front page, AGAIN without providing ANY information whatsoever about how users can solve this problem, or the fact that Apple now has an official $99 battery replacement, and on top of it all, put ThruPort's banner on the front page! I've now served 91,629 downloads for you, for over 0.6 terabytes of data transfer. What the f*** is you guys' problem? I guess that fact that you are liars shouldn't surprise me, since that's exactly what your whole site and the video is. Have fun with it, and whatever f***ed up satisfaction you get from having as many people as possible see your video, and not even wanting to tell people that there is a solution."

New Kevin Sites dispatch from Iraq:
Dirty for Dirty

New Kevin Sites dispatch from Iraq:
Dirty for Dirty 06/01/2004 02:09 PM
NBC combat correspondent and weblogger Kevin Sites is in Iraq today. He's just posted a new entry on his blog -- a series of interviews with American soldiers.

[O]nce they finally do get home--they will still be faced with the complex task of finding their way in a civilian society again. And while they're eager to leave their weapons and Kevlar behind, the violence they've experienced here will likely be with them in one way or another, always.

Derek Ellyson says his memories have already hardened, fixed in his mind. "You never forget the faces. I can describe to you every dead person I've seen out here. What their faces looked like, the position they were laying in." Sorokin agrees, "War brings a lot of ugly things, you see a lot of ugly things you see other people dead and sometimes when you see somebody dead you see the face of death--the way the guy died. It could be an enemy it could be an ally it doesn't matter."

Yet living with those images of death is part of the job--the same one that requires them to pull the trigger. Before going to war soldiers have always had to ask themselves if they'd be willing to die for their cause. But there is a second part to that question which for some, is more difficult to answer: would they kill for it? For most if not all in the 3rd Platoon--the question is already moot.

We may soon know the identity of Deep Throat. It seems that Bob Woodward has penned the obituary of the elusive Deep Throat. There have been no lack of theories for who might actually be Deep Throat. And of course, any political conspiracy theory secret wouldn't be any fun without tying it back to Bush somehow.

Acon Power Runner PR-2500 iPod Battery 07/20/2004 02:29 PM

Although I don't see it on their website anywhere yet (and it may not even ever make it to the States), Taiwanese peripheral manufacturer Acon (makers of the "Cable Ass'y") has a new addition to their Power Runner line, the PR-2500, designed specifically for the Apple iPod. There are other external, rechargeable battery packs for the iPod -- and certainly ones that are better looking -- if anyone actually gets around to importing this one, it might be worth a glance. The 14-hour battery life and LED charge-state indicators are especially nice.
