In it's defense, the whole segment about open or closed palm might be just journalistic interpretation of some "leaked" data.
I'm very confident they will have full hand pose estimation with joint rotation tracking. I'm currently doing my thesis on this topic and I can easily envision MSRC achieving this goal with their man power, computing power and the new Kinect 2 sensor (the old one is extremely noisy).
Radius is the single, radii is the plural. When it's only one, we use the singular.
1 kilometer, 1 liter, 1 metric fuckton. Or as people use across the pond, 1 miles, 1 gallon, 1 imperial fuckton.
You don't say 1 kilometers, 1 liters and you don't say 1 radii either.
Hence, it's 1 radius.
Don't you just love how much stuff the guy got wrong in the summary?
It reminds me about a joke I hear once in a while:
In Soviet Russia, one day the radio announces "Today, the president won a car."
The next day, they say "Some facts may have been erroneous yesterday. It was not the president who won the car, but a teenager from Sankt Petersburg. And it wasn't a car but a bike. And he didn't win it, it was stolen from him."
So the summary basically said:
"Cancer cured by injecting patients with HIV".
Only it isn't normal HIV, it's modified, harmless HIV.
And it didn't actually cure cancer, but 70% of the tissue.
And it wasn't injected in the patients, but into some of their blood cells.
"I am 72 and on average I probably have 13 to 15 years left to live. Even if I were exposed to radiation, cancer could take 20 or 30 years or longer to develop. Therefore us older ones have less chance of getting cancer."
Isn't the "time to cancer" a function of both exposure AND age? It would seem sensible that the senior citizens' cells are already damaged by old age, so exposure to radiation would have a head start as opposed to a 20 year old.
IANARH (I am not anything relevant here) so I'm really curious about this question.

I'm shocked! SHOCKED I tell you! You mean the phones/laptops don't run as long as advertised? I can't believe this! It's impossible! Next you'll tell me a 8GB pendrive/SSD holds less than 2^33 bytes.
What the hell is wrong with these people? Is this the one pressing issue at the moment? Don't they have something to do that is really worth their time? And who the hell silently takes photos of people with their phone? This will just inconvenience the innocent and have no next to no effect on anybody who is actually crazy enough to run around taking silent photos of people. They can muffle the speaker, they can get a silent camera without a phone attatched to it. They can RECORD VIDEO on their phones for crying out loud. Will they pass a law requiring the phone to make a screeching or barking noise or something when it records?

In a surprise move, Vermont also banned toasters, leaving people baffled.
It has already been done before.

Lets wait for them to evolve atheism. That will be fun.

*Bzzzt* There. You are a sandwich.
I wonder how long it'll be until somebody builds onboard biometrics into one of these things.
Screw that, I'm waiting for these guys to port Quake to a credit card.
Guess it resolved to a chimp?
Don't you mean you're" going to ytrewq some bitches foreheads"?
What's all this talk about finding intelligent lifeforms "beyond Earth". Shouldn't we really make an effort to find intelligence life on Earth first?
If it's going to Moskow for testing, it's not fucking ready to launch now is it?
Slashdot editors: Read the damn summary at least!
Cool!
I bet most of the researchers came from Soviet Russia.
I think the link in the article has been slashdotted.
I say stick a caption on him and call him the lolbat.
Yes.

why are the mutually exclusive?
Mutually exclusive? It's not a XOR, it's an OR operator. Make sure your slashdot licence is on my desk by wednesday.
No man, but they do make dandy soap holders.

...the DoD finally has a tool to automatically keep track of scores.
I believe the correct term is frags.
And it would be great if after five hits in a row it would growl "Impressive".
That's ok, becase I don't think that they created the algorithm with you in mind. You're just a negligible quantity.
