One thing I'd like to point out is that car owners pay an extra tax depending on the weight and power source of the car. Diesel cars are much more expensive. For example, a car of 1500kg costs ~€75 a month for gasoline and ~€140 a month for diesel. Insurance is also typically more expensive for diesel cars. For diesel cars to be cheaper overall, you have to drive at least a certain distance a month. I'd say that number is at least 1000km depending on the car.
The cheapest option AFAIK is natural gas. The fuel cost per km driven is probably cheaper than diesel, and the recurring tax is also lower. And you can basically buy a cheap gasoline car second hand and convert it to gas, which lots of people do.
Well it's certainly green enough to turn you green when the going get tough.
Seriously though, nuclear vs conventional energy is like aeroplanes vs cars IMO. Yes, the risk of an accident in a plane is relatively low, but when an accident does happen, you'd rather be in a crashing car...
As for charging points, there should be over 2000 in the town I live, but I really wouldn't know where the heck they are, as I've never seen one. Not that I'd be looking for them (I look for gasoline), but still.
Well what should I do, say it isn't so? I'm just being honest...
I stated before that I used to be an Atheist. It's well known, by the way, that both Christianity and Judaism stipulate the killing of an apostate. It just isn't practiced any more. And how I would feel? It would just be more incentive for me to leave the country. The way you're looking at this is that people change their religion regularly. That doesn't happen; people think twice, thrice, hundreds of times, sometimes over the course of years, before changing religion.
Furthermore, it should be noted that the Qur'an clearly states that Jews, Christians and Sabians who lived before Islam will go to paradise, because they believe in real prophets and real divine books. Unfortunately most Christians and Jews that I know of don't feel a similar sentiment towards Islam. To be fair, I know one who does, but his views changed during the time we spent together.

I though I remembered that outbound invites weren't fully working a few weeks ago either. And it still doesn't work at all with Google Apps accounts.
I can confirm that it works for regular Gmail users. It doesn't seem to work with Google Apps, however...
"Support, through dollars"... you mean bribe?
There is no such thing as "FOSS" codecs, just encoders/decoders. However, there is such a thing as patent-unencumbered file formats.
I wonder if that would be better than a tiny combustion engine and gas tank for long range, all things considered.
I just hope that this horror won't lead any of them to do an unthinkable act, like *gasp* suicide!

I fully agree with the styling issues though. Browser-specific hacks FTW!
As it turns out, the buses run on natural gas, not LPG though. Both are cheap, I guess natural gas is cheaper but less accessible to consumers.
Sorry - yes, LPG
Good post.

In fact, most public transportation buses are now gas based, with a large fuel tank on the top. There it is: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haagse_bus

Oh yeah sure. Don't even mention the possibility of those consequences being completely over the top.
You know many people contemplate suicide when they're being tortured, and I would consider what they did to Aaron torture and not due punishment.
I always suspected that Laurens Barnes was actually a cripple.
How interesting to see a religious debate in the comments of an article about salt on Slashdot.
If it weren't for Slashdot it'd have been 419
*Sigh* you've done it.
You made me break the Slashdot tradition of not reading TFA.
You misunderstand, manual gearboxes aren't actually REAL transmissions. IE there is no park, some people just use first gear as parking gear.
On a more serious note, I think automatic gearboxes are boring.
Their new unified transform tool should already be done and I suppose it's in 2.9. I haven't tried though.

If you insist on trolling, at least try to get your grammar right.
Note to self: don't use laymen terms on Slashdot or get downmodded.
is an appstore with just FLOSS applications and it's growing.
This is exactly my opinion on the matter. I'm also a person who tries to be more "green" despite moderate scepticism.
Which doesn't cost nearly as much as sending an SMS because IM is blocked.
