I had the terrible scroll when I first loaded the page 1-2 hours ago but can't reproduce it now on any of your posts including this one. Chrome 45.0.2454.85 64-bit linux.
MG1 can provide some resistance against the ICE's motion, causing part of the ICE's power to drive the ring gear instead. So in some cases, you have MG1 acting as generator (thus resisting the ICE) and driving MG2 electrically, AND you have mechanical contribution by the ICE as well.
It adds it to Google+ Photos. It consumes the space which Google Drive provides, but you can't browse the photos from Google Drive. (Side Note: If you upload below a resolution of 2048px, it doesn't count against your storage space.)
Also, Google+ offered this for every Android device long before Apple's iCloud backup, Dropbox Uploads, or even Microsoft's OneDrive auto-backup.
Since most people get confused and avoid the feature, I think it makes sense for them to create a separate product called Google Photos which has nothing to do with social.
Auto Upload definitely sounds very scary the first time you're prompted about it. Most people fear that every photo they take will automatically be publicly shared on Google+ (which isn't the case; it's uploaded to Google+ Photos as a private document that "only you" can see) and go out of their way to make sure it's off.
I've found the feature convenient and look at most of my pictures that way. It's a bummer when I have to connect my phone via USB cable and pull stuff off that way now (especially since Android is now MTP access only, but let's not go down that road...).
But then they might want you to login only with a G+ profile if at all they let people comment or so it will require them to use their Google+ photos.
Or if someone wants to have a Google Photos URL to share, Google will give an option of "photos.google.com/<one fucking long ugly random URL>" or "photos.google.com/FirstnameLastname<add some numbers or characters because others may want this URL too!>". That's just ugly!
At least back when I was doing mindstorms stuff (pre-NXT), there were a number of projects that would let you compile alternative languages into mindstorms bytecode, therby giving you a rather more capable environment than LEGO's. I used NQC[1], some quick googling suggests it's been succeeded by NXC[2] for the newer NXT mindstorms stuff.
I wouldn't say it's necessarily a good idea to jump right into a language like this though - even LEGO's normal graphical mindstorms environment will still serve to teach basic programming skills, and it's probably more approachable for a novice.
The theater in my hometown[1] took a different approach. About 3 years after its original closing in 2000 due to money issues, it was reopened as a nonprofit volunteer-run theater. Since then it has been successful enough to have been able to refurnish the seating and other parts of the theater, upgrade to a digital projector, and provide sponsorships and scholarships to the community.
Other than that, there isn't any way to use I'm feeling lucky anymore. Not much point, as with instant results it's one click to get the first result anyway.
"For instance, compared to the fastest mode of zlib, Snappy
is an order of magnitude faster for most inputs, but the
resulting compressed files are anywhere from 20% to 100%
bigger."
Does it? If you can scroll further with the keyboard than the scrollbar can indicate, that would also make the scrollbar inaccurate. Perhaps instead we could add an indicator to the scrollbar (ala Chrome's text search indicators) that shows where the content actually ends.
