    Urgh - a quick google unearths nothing more than copy-pastes of this article

    Anyone got something more interesting on the actual tech?

    Indeed, I remember when I realised how much of a muppet I was when I was a teenager ...

    I hate to think I will realise how much of a muppet I am/was when I thought I was an adult...

    Seriously though, if a teacher wants to be a mentor it's commendable - we need a less creepy way of doing this.

  9. Re:x86? on Intel, Google Team To Optimize Android For Smartphones · · Score: 1

    Agree 100% with the above, and going with a common architecture makes the whole API easier to write.

    For all of its failings, the only reason the x86 is not used in phones is power, I guess Google/Intel think they can crack that one and stop paying ARM.

    From TFA: In a real, high-stress situation, we might get an even higher success rate," noted Professor Ugail, who believes he'll eventually be able to detect around 90% of those who are lying, which is similar to the performance of the polygraph.

    The polygraph is 90% accurate?

    Yep, exactly what I mean! If we can't measure it then how do we decide!

    All said, any of this kind of thinking ruins sport - doesn't matter what kind of legs he has, it's how fast he can make them run.

    It matters not how strait the gate..

    If this were all true (and I don't disagree with you), we could just run simulations of the olympics and be done with the whole damn expensive thing?

    Seriously though, it's great that this guy is being allowed to compete, I just can't figure out if he has an advantage or disadvantage.

    Let's see if he wins eh!

    I agree, anyone have information on how they did this?

    - Can you measure the "springyness" of the lower leg?
    - Or the proportional muscle power of the upper leg and make a ratio?

    I would have thought the qualities that make the difference at this level can't be summed up with such primitive data...

    Today the search giant's full-time head count is almost 30,000 employees. It has offices in 42 countries on six continents. In terms of market capitalization, it's bigger than Ford, GM, Starbucks, FedEx, United Airlines, and Viacom combined.

    You could guess this from the amount of clutter that has appeared on all of their services. How long before we end up with a nice corporate nightmare like Yahoo...
