Could you please explain what a non-combat soldier is? Because by any definition I have ever seen, short of them being marked medics, soldiers are by definition combatants. Doesnt really matter who fires first. That is the point. Has been for a long long time.
Also, it seems, their military vehicle was attacked with what would be rather underwhelming weapons (petrol bombs and stones), at which point both soldiers escaped unharmed. Doesnt exactly sound like they were under a great deal of threat here.
Of course they retaliated by killing one Palestinian and wounding ten more, but as we know thats ok under the Israeli laws of a dozen eyes for a stubbed toe.
And let us not forget, they actively avoided the route they were supposed to take, and drove through a checkpoint to get there. But I guess looking for a fight is ok, but finding one is the fault of the other side?
My guess is its been a slow news week in Israel, so it was time to stir the pot a bit more. Which reminds me, hasnt it been a while since we had an active military exercise off the North Korean coast? Better get on to that, in the name of peace and love.
More to the point, I was under the understanding that the majority of online purchased are now made BY women. So, women are paying women less for items? Wow, do we need a whole new ism for that?;)
The usual 'lets make up some numbers and cry from the rooftop' bunk. The gender 'pay gap' has been solidly debunked (and in fact shown to be slightly pro-women) as soon as you include time in the job as a factor (which it most certainly needs to be).
However, how about a little focus on something that IS real. The males excluded from teaching gap! Dont take my word for it, go and have a look at who is teaching our children. Equality? you better not be wanting any of THAT, men have been forced out in droves by exactly the people who are squealing for 'equality'. After all, hearts and minds people, get them while they are young! Over the top hyperbole? of course, but that seems to be the way this is played now, which is a great pity, but really, men have being actively pushed out of teaching at a huge rate, and no one cares?
And lets not even go near mens health, death rates, the whitewashing of prostate cancer, etc. Lets just sweep that all under the carpet, what REALLY matters is making sure all CEOs are women! go team!
BTW, so is the writer of the article, Lamborghini and a few others have production engines with electronically actuated valves (not electro-mechanical valve phased cams like many many engines have had for a while). This is old old tech in such areas of F1, etc.
The largest issue is cost versus advantage, there is a lot of the first, and not much of the second.
Or.. Why not just equip pilots with glasses that filter the main common ladder frequencies? They would only need to be worn during risk time (near the ground) and the frequency band are rather narrow so should have low impact on normal vision. But that would be far too simple.. Wouldn't it.
Funny how when its extra cold (snow storms, record cold winters, etc) all we hear is 'weather is not climate'. However when its extra hot, is seems weather is climate?
Just to avoid the 'but that doesnt happen!' here we have one: http://drsircus.com/world-news/february-2015-coldest-month-in-history/
Not arguing a side here, just pointing out one of many many obvious logical faults both sides seem to have.
It astounds me how high these extremes at both ends of this argument have climbed up their pedestals.
It is so funny when you meet someone who believes all the marketing brochures.
Bolt enough addons to your Camry and out well beat a ferrari also.. Didn't you know. Just add up the marketing numbers.
No.. You must be right. The marketing brochures are right and the hard physical definitions of the actual system itself are wrong.. Yeah.. That's the ticket.
No. No it's not. The inertial sensors tend to have quite high noise and drift.. And as you need to integrate their signals the error becomes very large very fast. The error levels in silicon sensors makes them of marginal value for inertial sensing for any long term so they require GPS to actually localise them.
I can only imagine that you don't realise that GPS is very hit and miss under trees, in deep valleys, near tall buildings, in tunnels parking buildings, etc etc etc.
This is actually just a cheap inertial navigation supplement to GPS and the Summary is highly misleading (they are not improving absolute location at all just using medium drift inertial combined with GPS to stabilise position not improve it in any absolute way).
But don't let facts get in the way of fantasy.. Venture capital to the rescue!
Perhaps now you would like to clear up why the models running on supercomputers with find global grids and highly complex systems interactions, you know, the ones the CLIMATOLOGISTS work on, are hugely divergent and out of agreement with both other models and observations?
No? But I thought you just told us a high school physics student can do it. I wonder what those advanced researchers are spending their tens of millions on?
I can only imagine that you have an interesting meaning for 'Socialist' as well as an interesting meaning for 'Not Totalitarian', from your list of countries.
Oh, and not to mention, I am less than certain that 'Western Europe' has yet to form a single country, and try as I may 'New Zeeland' isnt on any of my maps, but good try, I guess.
I suspect quite a few of the people in those countries (Australia especially springs to mind) would disagree with your views..
In a similar way to how Capitalism + Reality = Totalitarianism, although perhaps with a bit more delay, but with the advantage of, it seems, more public support??
I can only assume then that the Capitalist Totalitarians are a bit starter (playing for the longer game) than the Communist ones..
I thought government security organisations of the three letter variety were busy trying to convince us that security backdoors and 'special' access for government level players was a good thing?
Surely they should just be promoting this as a feature, that enables the rounding up of literally millions of pedophiles, drug addicts, and terrorists Real Soon Now?
Oh, wait, they are not sure its only THEIR backdoors? Dont tell me other governments may also be involved? But surely if its good for one government to have access, its better if more do - hell, they ALL should, right? So they can enforce their own local views of What Is Right?
Are we being told only some governments are trustworthy? Can we please have a list? What happens when governments change? This is all just too complicated!
It is a pity most police are now just too busy collecting revenue to do much police work, it all seemed a bit simpler when they used to investigate actual crimes against the populace.
Impressively bad new-slashdot headlining here. Is it really worth plumbing the depths of false 'shock headlines' just to pull in views?
They are not DROPPING anything, they are looking at ADDING the ability to skip updates. You can still incrementally update of course, there is no hint of dropping that. They may allow you to instead update two versions in one go.
If anything, you could say they are dropping the REQUIREMENT for incremental updates.
But hey, the heyday of Slashdot editors is, as we know, long gone. Such a pity.
While I can only assume you are joking, isnt it insightful that the US DoD thinks it should raise issue with the Chinese having a space presence, when all they are doing is playing a long delays game of catch up to the US?
Surely by the same interpretations, the US has already pursued 'activities aimed at preventing its adversaries from using space-based assets during a crisis'?
But no, this is after the CHINESE, not the people who are the defenders of goodness and freedom that is the US of A. I can only imagine that the Chinese well know that destroying markets for their own produced goods would greatly advance their success.. Oh, wait a moment, that makes no sense at all. Silly me.
Well, as the current Litecoin value is around $3, I dont think you can exactly blame that for dropping it from $9.50... Especially as this was 6 months ago. The $9.50 spike that lasted a couple of days was highly unusual, and even then the $9.50 value was only ever sellers wet dreams, $8 was more like, and the spike lasted days, and never got down to $2. Any more BS we want to throw into the summary?
More to the point, hopefully TEACHING will be next.
You know, that profession critical to the development of our children, where men are being actively excluded, at a systemic level, with the support of both parents and schools?
But no, why would we want male teachers? After all, as is well proven all males are rapists, who cannot actually function above a level where they continually need to molest children, and after all also have nothing to contribute to the education, either intellectually or socially of our children!
And for those blind idiots who deny this problem, have a look here: http://www.menteach.org/resources/data_about_men_teachers
If a group has ever been actively excluded in a systematic way from a profession, it is men in teaching.
Well, how about the take on a more serious actual problem and require license plates, registration, insurance, and a proficiency test (to get a road license) for pushbikes?
I mean, they are reasonably often involved in real accidents, a proportion of which are their fault (lets not get in to an argument about what ratio). Property damage happens, people are injured and killed, reasonably often.
If Cars and Motorcycles are required to follow rules to use the public roads, why not pushbikes?
Any no, I am most certainly not anti-pushbike, I just wonder why they have free use of roads when other road users are regulated and taxed for the same use.
Ummm, this is so damn retarded that it makes my brain hurt.
You DO know, I hope, that a hydrogen bomb doesnt burn hydrogen, right? The challenge with a 6kt Hbomb is making it that small, not that large.
Of course the whole thing is almost certainly a pile of BS, the technology to take this step is not simple, and there is little evidence that they have a particularly stable nuclear bomb to act as a trigger as yet anyway, so this is most likely just more smoke and bluff, but hey.
It should be quite obvious to anyone who applies more than 2 seconds of critical thinking that this is all defensive anyway. The last thing The Great Leader (hmmm..) would want to do is attack someone, because he will be well aware where that leads - he just wants to make sure no one comes and takes away his plaything. Thats the last thing he wants. He and his cronies wants a damn good reason for people to leave them alone with their victims.
Wait a second here! Morality right?, consideration of History?, worried about forced "Freedom"? If it wasnt for your need to use Muslims as a scare tactic sir, I would doubt you are American!
Does that mean someone should prove that deoderant turn women into sex hungry idiots in you presence or that that soda makes you young cool and living an exciting life? How about that SUV purchase that suddenly makes you an outdoor adventurer?
I would suggest someone stood on the wrong toes here.. Most likely by not wording things just right.. Or not having enough lawyers and/or the right campaign contributions.
Welcome to the good old USA where it's perfectly OK to fake people out of their money so long as you slither between the rules just right. It's called progress didn't you know;)

You know, lying just to try and make a point which is false just paints you as very very stupid. You obviously know nothing about small engines, or modern turbocharger systems.
Oh, while you are at it, its spent *soot*, and no, modern small turbcharged engines dont produce it. Go troll somewhere else please.

How do you think siri or google voice command work??
This is nothing at all new.. Not to say it's a good thing. How easily it triggers is certainly a factor.
At least google can have a local option if you work hard enough to enable it.
So.. You coded something 20 years so in Matlab that runs on a z80?
Umm. No. Stop making shit up you are just embarrassing yourself.
Yes. Dead reckoning systems are not complicated.. But have many many issues..
But you cannot run MATLAB on a z80.
Rotfl.

Perhaps, just perhaps, thats why they are printing the MOLDS not the blades?
But, I know thats a bit much to ask, actually comprehending what you read..
