At the moment it has to be manually switched between walking mode and sitting mode. The shifting of weight triggers it to take the selected action, and as demonstrated in this BBC video, if you leave it in walking mode and try to sit, you will end up hitting the streets in a much more literal fashion.
4 minutes of video and (as far as I can tell from skimming through it) not a single picture of the device in question? Just two talking heads with awful sound quality?
We went from text-only summaries to text-with-video. Has it honestly never occured to anyone at Slashdot that images would, in some cases, be a much more preferable option? The old adage is an old adage for a reason.
and the ability, theoretically, to put more than a dozen feet between each half of the board. But if you're designing a keyboard from scratch, why not?
Because it's freakin' pointless, really. Anyway, why only a dozen? Why not 100m?
In the absence of a constitutional amendment giving them the power to deny a legal US citizen entry to the US, they can't deny a legal US citizen entry to the US. Simple as that, really.
Hmm. I'm reading this and... nope, nothing about not pooping on the neighbours' cars.
Y'know, you could've sprinkled a few extra facts into the summary, such as the connection to Snowden.
But I guess that's what you get when you accept submissions wihch are just copy-pasted partial paragraphs from the article - and the paragraph itself is a quote, within the article, from 2012.
Aviation records are typically set by overflying the start and end cities.
I don't know about typically, but this one wasn't. It was a regularly scheduled passenger flight and was timed from takeoff to landing. They even called in some favours at Heathrow to let them land West-to-East, in opposition to the other traffic that day.

So, what? No prison terms at all for any financial crime?
Wait, I think that already happens...
You can get less or you can get more (manslaughter can get you life). This 10 years is a maximum sentence.
You can also commit copyright infringement under this law and get away with less than 10 years. It's a maximum sentence, not a fixed one.
Researchers Discover Largest Ever Dinosaur With Birdlike Wings and Feathers
...that we know of so far. There could have been a larger one we haven't discovered yet.
"Dinosaur" is not a species. Nor is "bird."
I prefer Mighty Mouse's ally, the bat who dresses up as a bat. Bat-Bat.
That means a fall chance of zero

Paralyzed Man Hits the Streets of NYC In a New Exoskeleton
I see what you didn't realise you did there.
"Hey, they've got chairs with wheels. And here I am, using my legs like sucker." - Homer J. Simpson
Wow. If they're not working in 96 or 192K, they should, they've got a LOT of stuff going on waaaaay up there
...that no-one can hear.
Call me back if you get paralysed from the waist down, and then tell me you're not impressed.
What is it with some people? Does "not being impressed" make you feel better than everyone else because your standards are so much higher?
I bet the fax machine is nothing but a waffle iron with a phone attached to you...
US House Committee Approves Anti-GMO Labeling Law
That headline needs parentheses to make sense of it. Or does it mean the Food Babe has to wear a hat with "I'm a stupid dork" written on it?
In a statement the company said the court's decision, "confirmed what we always knew: that TripAdvisor is a hugely valuable and reliable resource.”
TripAdvisor were then called back in and fined €1m for contempt of court.

I'll be right back.

3 Hours from NYC to London?
Not from wheels up to touchdown, it won't.
What are you basing that pronouncement on? What other way would they record the time from New York to London?
I expect that it might take 15 to 20 minutes to get to or from cruising altitude
You expect? Are you just pulling numbers out of thin air in a bid to sound clever?
so the time in the aircraft while airborne would be about 3-1/2 hours.
Yup, looks like it...
Just so you know, there was a strong jet stream the day the record was set.
but please, one per post.
What happens if I ask two? Or if I accidentally ask one in the comment subject?
Oops.
Would that be Pale Moon you're thinking of?
Supersonic Jet Could Fly NYC To London In 3 Hours
Not only could, but did.
2 hours, 52 minutes, 59 seconds, to be precise.
Stellar production rates change == "what happens"
even Canada now uses km/h (since 1977)
Kilometres per hour? Luddites. They should be using kilometres per kilosecond.
Because he only has 14 hours to save the Earth!
