Comment Re:Technical question about electricity transmissi (Score 2) 161

The electrons are always moving, and fast, very fast, on all directions, with a zero average speed. Electrical current appears when their average velocity goes slightly above zero.

It's not one electron bouncing in another that causes the movement, all electrons are equaly pushed by a potential. Bouncing is one of the causes of resistivity. What this istudy did was reducing bouncing to the point it become negligible, with the expected impact on resistivity.

I hope that answers. It's like none of your options.

Personaly, I want them to say "we wont force the new site on you before we have an acceptable redesign, and we want your opinion on what's acceptable".

I parse what they said as "we see you are complaining, we'll try to polish it a bit if it's easy, and only then throw classic away", what's only milimeters from a plain "fuck you, you'll get it wanting or not". I'm wiling to not go away or troll the comments for a small while waiting for them to rectify that message. But it's clear that they just don't get it, so I'll be surprised if they actualy do the right thing.

This time you won't be competing with Slashdot, and will certainly have quite a bit of publicity here. But I'd also wait untill after the decision is made, and people are suffering. If they somehow fix the site, you won't have an audience to take for granted.

Personaly, I like the javascript, it makes it easier to follow conversations and to reply. But it's not that important, the old technocrat interface will do fine.

I'd rather just believe that it's done by little elves running around.
