He or she is an fatuous, incorrigible, hysterical troll and needs to be let go.
It's gotten to the point where I can spot one of her posts immediately without looking at the name.
Kdawson, go back to your little teenage troll blog where you came from.
I think it's evident where slashdot kids stand on matters of whether Israelis or Jewish people have a right to not be murdered. FWIW, this thread has come as somewhat of a shock for me. Really, nothing has changed since 1939. Nothing.
I'll be deleting slashdot from my bookmarks now and I certainly don't plan on coming back. Ever.
This is an antisemitic smear campaign if I've ever seen one.
The cowardly terrorists of Hezbolla (the "party of God", no less!) hide behind civilians and UN posts to work bigots like Jani Taskinen and ignoramuses like the parent poster into a frenzy. And what a fine job they've done.
No mention of Hezbolla targeting UN installations even though they do. No mention of Hezbolla taking cover behind UN installations. No mention of Hebzolla deliberately targeting and murdering civillians for no military gain whatsoever.
Here it is from the horses mouth -- from the UN. No friend of Israel if you know anything at all about modern history:
"The number of troops in some Ghanaian battalion positions is somewhat reduced because of the increased safety risk for the troops due to frequent incidents of Hezbollah firing from the vicinity of the positions, and shelling and bombardment close to the positions from the Israeli side." source: http://www.un.org/Depts/dpko/missions/unifil/pr012 .pdf
"One unarmed UN military observer, a member of the Observer Group Lebanon (OGL), was seriously wounded by small arms fire in the patrol base in the Marun Al Ras area yesterday afternoon. According to preliminary reports, the fire originated from the Hezbollah side during an exchange with the IDF. He was evacuated by the UN to the Israeli side, from where he was taken by an IDF ambulance helicopter to a hospital in Haifa. He was operated on, and his condition is now reported as stable." source: http://www.un.org/Depts/dpko/missions/unifil/pr08. pdf
"There were three incidents of firing close to UN positions in the last 24 hours from the Israeli side. It was also reported that Hezbollah fired from the vicinity of four UN positions at Marwahin, Alma Ash Shab, Brashit, and At Tiri." source: http://www.un.org/Depts/dpko/missions/unifil/pr011 .pdf
Additionally:
Retired Canadian Major General Lewis Mackenzie regarding the UN observer post hit by Israeli shells. The Canadian peacekeeper killed there had previously emailed Mackenzie telling him that Hizballah was using their post as cover.
"We received emails from him a few days ago, and he was describing the fact that he was taking fire within, in one case, three meters of his position for tactical necessity, not being targeted. Now that's veiled speech in the military. What he was telling us was Hezbollah soldiers were all over his position and the IDF were targeting them. And that's a favorite trick by people who don't have representation in the UN. They use the UN as shields knowing that they can't be punished for it."
I would imagine that the motivating factor for this device is not having to build new power lines to operate an intersection out in the sticks. Power is cheap, but building miles of power lines isn't.
In any case, whatever happened to solar panels and batteries? Is it really that overcast in the UK?:-)
Also, the 10kW figure doesn't mean a whole lot. For how long does the car interacting with the device make 10kW?
10kW ~ 13 1/2 horsepower, which is kind of a lot -- definitely enough to feel the effects of as you're driving along.
This is a big day for Linux on the desktop.
I finally got rid of my remaining Windows partitions several months ago and the *only* thing I missed was at having the option of using some kind of subscription based music service.
I hope they work out any technical glitches for those users that are having problems. For me the plugin install went perfectly (Fedora 4/Firefox 1.0.7) and I gladly plunked down the credit card moments afterwards.
For those of you who like to hate on the subscription-based music model, keep in mind that when you buy a CD you don't "own" that music either. If you did, you'd be able to replace a scratched CD for the cost of the medium (what, 50 cents?). Also, how much would it cost in money and time to maintain (rip, encode, manage, backup) a library of, say, 10000 songs? Rhapsody has like over a million.
Anyway, I used to hate Real for it's over-the-top attempts to monetize their products, but they've come a long way. I say cheers to them for supporting Linux like this and giving folks one less reason to use Windows.
Slashdot Mirror
Not a big fan of kdawson's trolling. There a lots of places on the Web for this tripe. Why on slashdot?
There's nothing new here, except for the fact that this gentleman has attached some additional rods to a planetary gear system.
And no, the Prius does not use a belt cvt as folks seem to think it does.

Maybe they should just call it "Goo". Then they can call the subsequent version "Gooo", and so on.
But good news for consumers.

Buh-bye.
Why do you post anonymously I wonder?

George Orwell writings aren't "open source" either. Would you consider him to have had a "corporate agenda" as well?
