It would be easier to accept if the numbers where not coming from an anti-wind farm group, but to answer my own question, deaths can occure from wind power from
- Transport/Construction
- Structual failure (from storms)
- Ice throw (impact within 140m)
- Turbine failure (anti-wind farm group says turbines need to be 2km away to be safe)
It looks like a large chunk of the 146 deaths in the history of Wind Power are attributable to transport and consturction. Which i think should be attributable to general construction risk, unless there is specific evidence that wind tower transport and construction is inherently more dangerous that other things like tall buildings.
Forbes artical says 150 deaths deaths/trillionkWhr from wind power, but your link cant find 150 total deaths in the history of wind power.
Total energy consuption in 2008 was 143,851 TWh, and wind in 2010 was 2.5% of the total energy generation (and growing fast), perhaps its was 1.25% in 2008. So 143851*0.0125 =1798 TWh from wind.
Your link says 150 deaths per TWh, which equates to 270,000 people beign killed eveyr year from wind power. Do you believe that ?
You do society a great injustice by spreading mis-truths.
Perhaps its GNOME's culture is broken, as evident from previous design decisions, gettign more women involved does seem to me to be a good way to try and shake up the existing cultural dysfunction.
If he is new to electronics he would have already experienced many different methods of physically locking things in place, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
Can you explain why you think physically locking things in place is NOT a trivial exercise for a phone ?
Almost every failing of a computer can be related to where the OS sits.
Slashvertisers do comments as well now ?
Viruses and malware got you down, SSD is what you need, buy now ! Having mouse problems with your computer, SSD for you, buy now ! Power supply burnt out, buy SSD now !
Line up to purchase you magical Snake oil^W^W SSD drive, fixes all your ails.
I would fight for their right to express those views
But would you fight for the right to express your views if you dont have the right to record the experiences that document where those views come from.
In my initial post i was tyrign to highlight the hypocracy between promoting freedom of speech (right ot be a bigot) and a right to privacy in public (banning google glasses).
Freedom of speech is pointless is your expreineces are limited, or do you think freedom of expression is only necessary for fiction.
Representational state transfer (REST) is an architectural style consisting of a coordinated set of architectural constraints applied to components, connectors, and data elements, within a distributed hypermedia system. REST ignores the details of component implementation and protocol syntax in order to focus on the roles of components, the constraints upon their interaction with other components, and their interpretation of significant data elements
Meanwhile, back in reality, in heavily congested areas you're lucky to get a signal twenty meters using omnidirectional antennas and public spectrum.
First World Problems
I realize Slashdot caters to the Libertarian fringe, but the whole reason we have 'locked-down spectrum' is to avoid the tragedy of the commons scenario that occurs when devices interfere at random and everybody keeps kicking the power higher and higher trying to shout over the crowd until the spectrum is no good to anyone.
Can you not think of yourself for once, is it possible that a problem could be solved for developing countries that doesnt benefit developed countries. Maybe one day they can teach us how to better manage our spectrum by cooperating more. Is that something you want to tear down with your negativity.
Libre software is used in many embedded devices, however there are very few devices that do not also use proprietary software seperately on the same device.
Manufacturers will often embrace Libre software, then extend it with own essential proprietary binaries, making the whole non-free and difficult for the community to liberate.
How would you feel about a GPL like licence that didnt not tolerate distribution alongside prioprietary code (no mere agregation) ?
What's so hard in understanding this simple three-step formula: 1) Make some nice hardware. 2) Put vanilla Android on it with a clear upgrade path to the latest version. 3) Profit!
The hard bit that enables that 3 step plan is step 0) Sack managment, replace them with monkeys.

actually it wasnt per year, its per trillion kWh, still my question is the same, how does wind energy kill people.
You say 90 people per year die from Wind energy, I call BS.
How does wind energy kill people ?

If you RTFA you would realise that tl;dr is for inter...nubs.
Did Qualcom also announce their commitment to binary only drivers and refusal to work with the free and open source software communtiy ?
Qualcom are just another greedy corp trying to take everyones stuff.

In other news in Australia our Attorney General is defending free speech, in particular the right to express racist views.
So if you record someone being a racist in a public place, the racist calls the cops and get the witness to racism put in jail.

Yes, and all other envirnmentally damaging power sources.
The answer is renewables, everyone knows it, some people are too cowardly to admit it.

its a framework ?
Where exactly would you expect the documentation for something like that to be in a consumer device?
e.g. We arent sure where to put all that TCP/IP documentation, so dont bother writting it all down.
This is part of their undocumented protocol for communication with the modem. Modem can ask to read or write some file on disk using ...
And "undocumented protocol for communication" is different than a Backdoor how ?
Antivirus programs wouldnt even find and remove the sony rootkit.
If you want to pay to be secure then you are not.
He only thinks they are bad tools :p
I see that the code makes liberal use of strlen and strcat
A bad tradesman blames his tools.
Maybe it will scale better if they dont need to shout over each other.

I really don't get all this hate against Gnome 3
They designed it to compete with the upcoming windows 8, they didnt want to get left behind (true story).

Duoh, meant to say 'licence that did not tolerate'

What's so hard in understanding this simple three-step formula:
1) Make some nice hardware.
2) Put vanilla Android on it with a clear upgrade path to the latest version.
3) Profit!
The hard bit that enables that 3 step plan is step 0) Sack managment, replace them with monkeys.
They could have tried "2th biggest" as a workaround.
