It means the person writing the article is an imbecile. All electric trains already brake by shunting power out to the grid, they suggest keeping it local to a station in a flywheel. Very little net gain really, just a bit of peak power smoothing. Better to have utility-scale power storage in the grid, for smoothing everything, not just trains. Flywheels is just one (tried and true) system for doing that.
Actually, you just need to watch that each person contributing is making clean tidy contributions. With open source or any software, there is no reason not to put the contribution point right in the middle of the factory floor for maximum visibility. Doesn't translate for you analogy.
It's about PSI. You need 100 times the pressure to activate a resistive display, hence stylus/fingernail (probably infinitely more actually, since a capacitive display can register with 0 force (I.e. not actually touching), if so tuned. A capacitive display is just as precise, but a good UI doesn't ask the user for fine controls.
Actually, it's slow. 120 degrees per second according to the video (3 seconds for a complete revolution). That's not fast enough to wave, let alone kick.
These Silicon Valley companies will finally free us from the grip of the powerful brick manufacturing companies that owned practically all industry just a few years ago, just as those brick companies crushed the once-mighty wood manufacturers before them. Few people even remembers the days further back when the powerful straw men ran everything from the social networking of drawing straws to softening the beds of newborn gods.
The only thing wrong here is the immbecile title given to this on Slashdot. No-one is claiming this is a breakthrough. The kid did an experiment and wrote it up well. Like any kid, and indeed any researcher, he made mistakes. Maybe he's onto something, but probably not. Regardless, he's welcome to patent it. Certainly he learned a lot about nature and about renewable energy in the process, and caring is the first step to solving any problem.
Would be better if they'd explained in their YouTube text that they were only testing forward balance, not lateral stability. Instead they claim it is "Running free", which is laughable.
Similarly, I knew that at the end of Phantom Menace, the kid Anakin imposter would get crushed under the tracks of a massive Sandcrawler, but due to clever character development, I still really enjoyed the sight when that finally happened. I don't think I would have enjoyed the movie if I had thought that irritating little twerp was the real Anakin.
It's the author that makes this choice. If they want to start with just before the climax then cut back to "7 days earlier...", that is their choice. The trouble with modern spoilers is that film and book marketing just want you to go see/read it - they don't care about the integrity of the story that the author devised. So often these days, film previews contain all the best scenes and lines, and ignore integrity completely.
By the time they're white dots, they've passed by. The black dots that don't appear to be moving, on the black background.... those are the ones on a trajectory to worry about.
I fear this movie will have the "poor humans" as just unlucky. The original movie suggests that we failed by our actions, not some single fluke, THEN the apes rose up. Not that they explained why completely different ape species co-developed.....
Perhaps the US military wouldn't care if they ran over a few Afghan civilian pedestrians, so you're referring to *American* humans that might be *saved* by driverless vehicles, yes?

Which endeavours? 50% of their endeavours have utterly failed and been cancelled, another 25% are doomed, 20% are losing money.
Leaving a 5% success rate (count those endeavours on one hand).
I'm not saying the "let many flowers bloom" approach is wrong, but please don't tell me they're all or even majoritorially successful.

Mine has been OFF twice in the last year. What is your point? Do you also turn your cellphone off when you're not using it?

unemployment is almost entirely among the working class
Sounds the a quote from the end-days of the Roman or French empires.

Indeed, it's one of the strengths of Blogger/blogspot that it's all-for-one-and-one-for-all.
On censorship, I'd rather rely on Google than my government. So far.

You are in the majority, that's my understanding of exactly why stories are so dumbed-down these days.
Of course, you could just watch it twice: once with a dopey look on your face, then again with an intelligent knowing grin..

What's happened to /. titling?
Err... no, a velocity exists such that the falling acceleration will never over-take the residual velocity. They're both inverse squares.
I wouldn't want to reason with you while you're all emotional anyway.

Stationery.
I'm sure there are lots of hot naked chicks. Are you into rishathra?

And with goats rather than sheep, you get the bonus of having no trees after a couple of seasons of their browsing.
I'm reading Slashdot through a WAIS proxy server!

Only after you go over your 1TB cap, which would take... oh... sorry, too late.
