Re: PSA: how not to commit a perfect murder

Well it looks like the fish oil isn't working. Here's the link to the main article.

Because if you do that, you will be caught and possibly go to prison even if he needed killing. If you do plan on killing someone illegally, not that I'm recommending it, first buy yourself a copy of a whole-disk encryption program such as DCPP from SecurStar or Seagate's new encrypted disk line. And don't ever forget that the proper place to research your crime is the public library.

Good luck, and for your planning needs, check out PhoneCrypt, an end-to-end encryption solution appropriate for planning every operation from crashing planes into buildings to surprise parties. "Cut that chatter!" -- dead terrorist

Weight Loss Winner: Atkins

Fresh off the presses: Stanford University study of the effectiveness of diets finds Atkins the most effective.

A fine example of junk science. I remember fondly the days when the entire medical profession and bunches of scientists said that we should all be eating rice and stuff like the Chinese do because the Chinese have fewer heart attacks or something. Public policy and laws were enacted based on the dubious science of setting out to prove something that you want to prove.

And since ethanol is going to be fermented straight out of cellulose now, that 20% of the annual corn crop that is going to ethanol production can be put to more important use, like feeding cows. (I propose replacing the grain-meal bags-o-starch that's delivered into famine regions be replaced with that same wood pulp, except don't ferment it all the way down to booze, but just to something human digestible.
