The summary is actually better than the article. Did the Slashdot editor actually do some work or did the Examiner editor trash the writer's work? (Story was submitted by the writer.)
Punctuation got borked in the original quote, trying again:
Sainsbury's market of England has installed 'kinetic energy' plates in the parking lot of it's store in Gloucester.
As I noted in the reply to the post 'Leeching...' below, it's not theft, the cars are slowed down at the point at which they should be slowing down anyway - they're coming into the car park. There's no extra fuel usage - feet will be off the accelerator and over the brake pedal at the point where this device is deployed.
It's not leeching. The cars are slowed down at the point at which the cars should be slowing down anyway - they're coming into the car park. The 'kinetic energy' device helps where the vehicle's brakes would normally be doing all the work. Bin the TFA, see this insightful article from yesterday's Guardian.
England market produces green energy... Sainsburyâ(TM)s market of England has installed âkinetic energyâ(TM) plates in the parking lot of itâ(TM)s store in Gloucester.
What atrocious writing. Sainsbury's is a supermarket.
Well, they're not going to run Windows any time soon. Good opportunity here. I hope the application availability is going to be good - as a Nokia Tablet user I've been running a variant of Linux on a ARM processor for some time now and I can't wait to get my hands on a ARM netbook.
I'm sorry, I started reading the article and I stopped here:
First of all, the updated operating system now runs on the Linux kernel 2.6.27, meaning stronger security, improved stability and a range of core applications enhancements
What was the older version using as a kernel? My research tells me Linux, version 2.6. So what is it about the new one versus the old one that brings appreciable 'security', 'stability' and 'applications enhancements' to Android?
I lost all respect for WHT years ago. It went down the tubes after Chicken left. Note they're well in with Rackspace who capitulated to SCO. Couldn't happen to nicer people.
I just installed Okular. On first start it crashed, the 'Send Message to Microsoft' dialog coming up.
Sumatra can't open Ubuntu PocketGuide - Just happened to be trying that when I was associating applications after a fresh install the other day - Oh how ironic.
One great feature of Okular is that it allows smooth scrolling, rather than jumping to the top of the next page with no indication you've got to the bottom of the preceeding page. So thanks FSFE, I'd never heard of this reader before.
Anyone know where we can get the old versions. The pre-Microsoft versions?
One person's 'upgrade' is another's 'hobbled'. Why did the size of so many Sysinternals utilities increase in size from 1-200K to over 1MB for no change in functionality?
Use hostip.info. Everytime you reset your router go there and tell it where you are. Stop after you've done 10-20 subnets and wait a while. Hopefully the updates will propagate down to Maxmind and the others... reasonably... erm... soon.

That's what I thought too. I think this gives away the fact that they were using the HostIP location service which is littered with references to 'Turk'. The same service also doesn't identify location to province level in China or Korea. For Chinese netblocks the whois records will invariably give the address as 'Beijing' with only the description pointing to the province which in fact owns the address. For Korea there's little information at all. Nothing in whois and none of the main Geoip services can shed much light - so everything gets lumped into Seoul. And... a lot of ISPs in the UK tend to use a nationally-based dynamic allocation pool - with the result that the IP is just going to be tagged to... London.
So the rankings are of little use and the percentages are absolutely of little use. I guess Moscow would turn out to be the actual virus capital then we learn that China, Korea and Turkey have serious problems. We knew already.
I didn't immediately know what you meant. Now I see you're referring to the 'a=209783' part. I just spent 2 mins trying to make a link without this but gave up... and now I see CowboyNeal has edited the summary to use this same link.
... is "doing something in order to make up for a wrong inflicted on someone." To whom are Google and EBay making amends -- surely not us, their users? I suspect the headline meant to say that they "made up" or that they "reconciled" or [insert thesaurus entry here].
Yes, I realize it's pointless to complain about Slashdot editing.

Exactly what he said:
TalkTalk has always maintained the defence that it is merely a broadband pipe and not an online policeman for the content industry.

I doesn't begin with "mother"; it ends in "mother".
The transliteration is: "Cao Ni Ma". (Ma being horse, mother, hemp, ...)

On this form forget Yap.
I like Foxit and VisageSoft ... and PDF-XChange.

A sad reflection on the mods that this was modded 100% funny. I did honestly expect to find at least a smidgen of 'Insightful'.

Fifteen posts and still no Goatse on that Wikipedia article...
Yes, I realize it's pointless to complain about Slashdot editing.
Indeed
Could we have that in English please?
...as discussed here two weeks ago. More details at PRNewsWire.
The reviewer doesn't seem to mention whether he got to keep it or not...
