First off, this feature doesn't change anything for non-subscribers. All Slashdot stories are put into the story queue before you see them. The time stamps on these stories vary tremendously. Sometimes the story is posted days in advance (like, say, a Book Review or an Ask Slashdot where time isn't critical and we post a set number a week) Other stories are "Breaking News" and are posted just seconds before they go live. But most stories are posted 20-30 minutes before they go live. This time window gives other authors a chance to take a look at them. To fix spelling, to check for dupes (HAH!) or even to reject the story outright!
Progressive will announce its TripSense trial in Minnesota on Aug. 24. Customers who sign up will get a device the size of a Tic Tac box to plug into their cars. The device will track speed and how many miles are driven at what times of day. Every few months, customers would unplug the device from the car, plug it into a computer, download the data and send it to Progressive. Depending on results, discounts will range from 5% to 25%.

It's not that it costs more in every instance and when it does it is just in the install phase that it does. Quite a lot of people don't know that they can get NG generators for an inexpensive price.
Because its easy to work with and requires no extra work when the generator is installed. Some gas companies charge extra for the larger pipes and flow rates need for a large generator and some cities make it more difficult to get a permit if you use natural gas.
It's not 'irrational hatred of Microsoft', it is concern that, in the future, Microsoft will use these patentes to control email on the net. Microsoft just hired a high level exec to over see it's IP portfolio and to increase it's 'value' to Microsoft.

Funny how 'CFR' didn't address unlimited donations by corps for parties, conventions and travel. I know that travel has 'limits' but having to pay the cost of a first class tick to get the use of a private jet that costs 2000 USD per hour to fly isn't right.
CFR wasn't and isn't about reforming CF it is about keeping those currently in the power structure where they are and ensuring that any upstarts can not compete on an even playing field. Just look at how hard the two main parties fight to keep 3rd parties off the ballot.
Funny, you don't appear to get pissed at the arabs who have done the same thing.
Why is that?
Regina Bublil Waldman, a Libya-born Jew, still recalls the minute details of the day 37 years ago when her homeland turned against her.
The ordeal began in June of 1967, after the then-19-year-old translator for a British engineering firm in Tripoli received a phone call at work from her frantic mother.
"Don't come home. There's a mob outside the house," Waldman's mother told her. "Find a place to hide."
Waldman, who now lives in San Rafael, is a Mizrahi Jew, one of nearly 856, 000 Jews who fled Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen in an exodus that began after the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 and ended about 1970. Today, only an estimated 5,000 Jews remain in Arab lands, most of them in Morocco.
In recent months, independent Jewish groups have begun a concerted effort on behalf of these "forgotten refugees," who they say were ignored by the global community after being absorbed by other countries -- mostly Israel --
while Palestinian refugees captured worldwide sympathy for living in squalid camps in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and the Gaza Strip. According to the United Nations, 726,000 Palestinians were forced out or voluntarily left the new state of Israel.
"In its zeal and need to address the plight of Palestinians, the world allowed the plight of the Jewish refugees to fall by the wayside," said Stanley A. Urman, executive director of Justice for Jews from Arab Countries, a New York-based coalition of 27 Jewish organizations.
The campaign for justice for the Mizrahi Jews has strong support in Congress.
On Monday, Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., is scheduled to introduce a resolution that would instruct U.S. envoys to raise the Jewish refugee issue every time the Palestinian refugee issue is raised as "an integral part of any comprehensive peace."
"The senator believes it's important to move forward in the peace negotiations by considering all refugees, whether Christian, Jewish or Palestinian," said Robert Traynham, Santorum's communications director.
Last year, House Resolution 311 called on the international community to recognize Jewish refugees who "fled Arab countries because they faced a campaign of ethnic cleansing and were forced to leave behind land, private homes, personal effects, businesses, community assets and thousands of years of their Jewish heritage and history."
The World Organization of Jews from Arab Countries, a group affiliated with Urman's coalition, estimates the value of the confiscated property at more than $100 billion.
The attacks against Waldman's family -- her father's warehouse, where he sold equipment to oil companies, was torched -- and on Libya's estimated 3,750 to 6,000 Jews began soon after the opening salvo of what is known as the Six Day War in Israel and "the setback" in the Arab world. Synagogues, homes and businesses were looted and burned, and more than 100 Jews were killed.
Waldman hid out for a month at her employer's home while her father maneuvered to get the family out of Libya -- tricky business for people without passports. Most Libyan Jews had been denied citizenship even though many could trace their descendants back to the third century B.C.
A month later, the entire Jewish community -- including Waldman, her parents, grandparents, an uncle and a brother -- was expelled by King Idris I. After a harrowing ride to the Tripoli airport -- her British boss rescued the family when the bus driver tried to burn the vehicle -- the family flew to Italy, where most still live today.
"We lost all our property," said Waldman, a longtime Bay Area human rights activist and member of Jews Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa (JIMENA), a San Francisco group that sends speakers throughout the United States to speak about the plight of Jews from Arab countries. "My father fell into a deep depression from n
Double bus bombings have rocked the southern town of Be'er Sheva, killing 16 - and wounding over 100, including close to 15 seriously. Police are on high alert nationwide.
The twin bus bombs were detonated at around 2:55 P.M. on Rager Boulevard, near Be'er Sheva's City Hall. The buses were approximately 100 meters apart when suicide terrorists detonated their explosives.
Over 100 people were evacuated to Soroka Hospital, including 23 with moderate wounds.
Arutz-7 correspondent Moshe Priel spoke with Yaakov, the driver of the number 12 bus, which was targeted in the second blast. He described the horror he and his passengers experienced:
"I was idling at the intersection, parallel to the second bus as an explosion went off inside it. I immediately realized that it was a bomb and decided to get far away from the area. I didn't succeed in driving the bus very far when all of the sudden all the passengers started yelling 'Open the doors! Open the doors!' I didn't know why but opened the doors nevertheless. I think about ten passengers were able to escape before there was a horrible explosion - something impossible to describe - God help us. The older passengers weren't able to escape in time and they are the ones who were wounded. I got off easy with scratches from the shattered glass and ringing in my ears."
Priel also spoke to Nissim Vaknin, who was sitting behind the driver of the #6 bus, one of the terrorists was dressed like a woman. "I was sitting in the seat near the driver, and right near me a woman sat down who I suspected was a terrorist dressed like a woman," said Vaknin. "At a certain point I left my seat and moved toward the back of the bus. The explosion was near the front door and the whole bus filled with soot, smoke, screaming and yelling. I picked up a young girl in my arms who was shrieking - ran to the front of the bus, yelling to the driver to 'open the door.' I glanced at where I had been sitting and saw the 'woman' who sat down near me - torn to pieces."
Hamas claimed responsibility for the double attack, saying it was a response to the recent wave of immigration to Israel. Be'er Sheva is home to a large number of new immigrants.
Saeb Erekat of the PA issued a condemnation of the mass murder, and called upon the international community to take an active role in ensuring that Israel withdraw from Judea, Samaria and Gaza.
Chairman of the National Union party MK Tzvi Hendel responded to today's terror attacks accusing Prime Minister Ariel Sharon of "undeniable responsibility for this bloodbath."
Hendel added: "The Prime Minister encourages terrorists to murder more and more Jews with the obsessive pursuit of his expulsion plan."
National Religious Party chairman Effie Eitam called upon Prime Minister Sharon to turn all his energy away from his disengagement plan and toward a resolved war on terror. Eitam said: "Instead of demonstrating his determination to uproot thousands of Jews from their homes, which will merely encourage further terror while tearing apart the nation and destabilizing the government, the Prime Minister must form a stable nationalist government that will fight terrorism to the death and put an end to the Palestinian dream that through terrorism they will be able to chase out the IDF and subdue the State of Israel."
MK Gila Finkelstein (NRP) said: "I suspect this is just the beginning of the joyous celebrations of the terrorists. Today they begin their count-down to the withdrawal plan."
Welfare Minister Zevulun Orlev said: "The harsh attacks have brought us down to earth - the painful situation, the illusion of quiet, and the disengagement are blowing up in our face. Instead of urging the IDF to uproot [Jews from Judea, Samaria and Gaza], the order should be given to intensify and continue the war against terrorism
