Well, according to bsa.org, the BSA offers up to $1,000,000 for reporting piracy. Now, it seems that that's only in severe circumstances, but surely if you can get another job lined up, then it's probably a good idea to report them — they'll almost certainly give you something that makes it worth your time. And, they're blatantly breaking the law. You've brought it to the attention of your superior, and he ignored you. Also, if the BSA catches them anyways, they'll almost certainly try and pin the blame on you. So, not only will you have a serious chance of jailtime if youdon't report them, someone _else_ will get the reward. I guess I'm just saying that, really, you have everything to gain by reporting them — and everything to lose by not doing so.

Altered Organism Triples Solar Cell Efficiency 158

An anonymous reader writes "By harnessing the shells of living organisms in the sea, microscopic algae called diatoms, engineers have tripled the efficiency of experimental dye-sensitized solar cells. The diatoms were fed a diet of titanium dioxide, the main ingredient for thin film solar cells, instead of their usual meal which is silica (silicon dioxide). As a result, their shells became photovoltaic when coated with dyes. The result is a thin-film dye-sensitized solar cell that is three times more efficient than those without the diatoms."
It's funny.  Laugh.
