Japanese Scientist Creates Meat Substitute From Sewage 417

An anonymous reader writes "Hold on to your hamburgers — Japanese scientist Mitsyuki Ikeda at the Environmental Assessment Center in Okayama has invented an artificial meat substitute made from human feces. The unseemly meal is made by extracting protein and lipids from 'sewage mud.' The lipids are then combined with a reaction enhancer and whipped into 'meat' in an exploder. Ikeda makes the 'meat' more palatable by adding things like soy protein."

Your point might have _some_ weight, EXCEPT for the simple fact that drunk drivers OFTEN kill other drivers, and WALK AWAY unscathed. Not to mention you can't "wait for them to die off" with population increase factored in, and the obvious fact there WILL be new drunk drivers, that logic doesn't work.

Although I typically like the N-1 support for browsers. Surely there will be the people holding on to older versions, and getting them to upgrade would be prying it from their cold dying hands (or being locked in with lack of OS support ... cough IE and Windows XP). The part that gets tricky is the fact with the browser wars appearing to surface again, multiple version releases throughout the year, and then there is the x.5 versions, where does one stop?

I agreed whole heartedly, but the difference is with Android apps it's virtually transparent whether you are connecting to a HTTP/S connection. At least with a browser, people are trained to look for "the lock", so even if they are connecting to an unsecured wifi spot, their HTTPS connections are safer (sans MITM and other vectors) than an HTTP connection over unsecured wifi.
