Meron is the mountain. Merom (with an M or mem) just means "Upper" as in Upper Galilee (Merom HaGalil). Very nice area in any case (though best to wait until our Lebanese friends have got bored with their fireworks display).
Banias is a freshwater spring/ glade on the Golan Heights and site of an old greek temple . Well worth a hike in summer, though best to time it with a ceasefire.
Yonah is the Hebrew version of Jonah (in Greek which was the first transliteration from the vernacular Hebrew, J is a Y sound), it's not a place (or a plaice;))
Dothan was a town in Northern Canaan/Judea/Palestine/Israel in biblical times. IIRC it's where Joseph's brothers go off to before they feign his murder and sell him (in the Old Testament).
Hmm clearly I have too much time on my hands today.
For example, an oven should have knobs, mounted behind the stove elements, which require a push and a turn to get it turned on.
How about you put the knobs on the front so you don't have to lean over the hot elements/ pans to control it?
The refrigerator that came with my house has one of those in-door ice dispensors--damn thing is broken half the time due to a frozen motor, and when it works it spits out little bits of plastic, too. A simpler fridge would be half the price and work BETTER.
So you made a bad purchase. Sell it on eBay and buy a new one (or ask your parents to).
Any added networking technology (or any other whiz-bang gizmos) for what are basically a hot box, a cold box and a heated drum is just insanity.
I work hard (normally) and when I come home the last thing I want to do is have to do the washing. Unlike ovens, most washing machines don't have timers. If I do a wash in the morning and leave it in all day, it will stink when I come home (which would be OK if i was a sys admin, but I'm not). So I want to have my wash cycle finish when I get home. Instead of having to set up timeswitches and playing around with plugs (which are behind the heavy machine in any case) I think that being able to do this over teh interweb would be A Good Thing (TM)
Nice troll. It might be interesting if it were true.
Truth is Northrop Grumman is trying to sell the Israeli government a (jointly to-be-developed) laser system to protect against short range missiles. Calculations are that it's a waste of money, so it looks like an R&D manager is trying to save his project with a new "killer app" (pun intended).
Intendo will be a wireless and handheld device to help aspergers syndrome kids understand what the person they are communicating with actually intends.

I really don't think that tensions starting to rise are mostly to do with the fact that the US are moving out troops. It has more of an effect on local economies which were dependent on them, but I don't think there's much other impact.
I think it's more to do with the facts that: 1) different countries really do have different interests (justifiably, IMNSHO) 2) EU integration got much tighter. It's great currency wise if you're travelling around Euro zone. Sucks big time if you're the Central Bank in any of those countries and want to control your monetary policy freely (good move UK to stick outside) 3) absence of a shared close-proximity enemy with land war potential
France and Germany run roughshod over the whole EU as it's their (mostly France's) creation starting in 1951 with the European Coal and Steel Community. Also they are the largest continental European economies and in international relations size counts. The UK is traditionally closer to the US politically and culturally and has always played catch up with the EU.
It's not just the UK which doesn't want to complete the process for full EU integration, a number of the Nordics (Norway, and Denmark IIRC) also don't and judging by France's recent discussions on "economic patriotism" you gotta laugh.
60 years without a major European land war is actually quite an acheivement if you look at the history books. United Europe is an invention to sew the economies together so that there would be too many joint interests at stake in the case of war. In that respect, it's been a success. I think most Europeans would prefer MacDonalds to the Somme.

Linux does not make parched sahel more productive, will not fetch clean water and will probably not ward off infectious diseases (okay maybe it's less prone to viruses).
Let's imagine I'm in charge of internet marketing at a large multinational company. How can I get my hands on some of those lovely Narus logs? That would be a real Google killer.

Only if your assumption/ gamble pays off that you are: 1) Really good 2) Really cheap 3) Really good at SEO or self promotion
Otherwise, your assumption is relying on the kindness of strangers, nicht?
I'm sure Canada also have a natural resources department too which calculates how many trees to cut down and seals to cull.
There's no reason they shouldn't have a human resources department to calculate how many humans they need to chop down or cull.
Is the human resources department in Canada staffed by people with humanities degrees/secretaries who were promoted?
I tried Sensor. From what I could tell, nobody else did, so I felt a bit like that Dilbert cartoon where he buys the first Videophone.
I only came across it as I though people were "toothing" me and was actively seeking the cool new app that everyone seemed to have that allowed them to easily message me over Bluetooth.
In short, nobody was trying to message me either, it was a Symbian bluetooth worm which loads of people have. Does a worm qualify as a killer app for Bluetooth?
100% agree with you on rebuilding cities. Sim City is not the Real World (tm), it takes years and billions of $ to remodel by which time macro economic factors have changed and it's all a grandiose white elephant project. And large infrastructure problems consistently run over time and budget. So rebuilding cities is a great utopian view, but given the last 100 years of European history I'm a little skeptical of utopian options.
How realistic is your motorcycle option for all cities? Just within the US local weather conditions vary massively and also motorcycles are good for commutes, but pretty inflexible for other types of travel (vacations, weekly shopping, school run and more). Unfortunately, until we get teleporting or flying cars it's going to be more of the same congestion, pollution, spiralling real estate costs and urban sprawl:-(
so you're an overweight 40-something with long greasy hair, beard, large overhang, you sit in a server room all day with no shoes on. Stop kidding yourself about it being the password that smells and go have a shower....

I'd have thought that an English version first would enable more developers to participate... ... I thank yooooow
can anyone else guess which part of the above post is a euphamism?
Laugh all you like, that's exactly what I was referring to.
Apparently some spotty 15 year old thinks that's redundant. Pah.

Citigroup is a bank, like any business they're out for money, only more so.
