   You know, in finance, this would be known as insider trading. In politics, this would be known as Influence Peddling. What should it be called in environmental circles?

8. Evil, Sean, pure evil.
   30 seconds on Google verifying the twenty minutes thinking of this python:
   >>> stuff=”””whole bunch o’binary”””
   >>> i=0;j=8
   >>> while j >> output=[]
   >>> for i in words:
   … chr(int(i,2))
   Bastage!
   Cheers,
   lance

9. Ick, copy and paste python doesn’t look good. 🙂 And the output list is useless in that context. What can I say, rush to production.

    Green tech is the last refuge of the lazy/inept designer/engineer.
