So who detected the remaining 85% in order to give us this statistic of 15% detection rate? And why isn't that being used instead?

I do IT on yachts and heard a story of a yacht that had cell repeaters on board. The installation company had the power cranked all the way to 11 and knocked an entire coastal town's cell service out while they were in port. Vodafone politely asked them to turn that shit off.
At a wireless training session with one of our vendors they said that the US navy aircraft carriers jam all radio transmissions when they enter port. That sounds like a bit of a frustration.
Ehh, you're just now figuring that out?
I think it's a safe bet that this article references the War of 1812 to glean a few search hits from people searching for actual information on the War of 1812.

There are very few forms of technology that can't be removed without causing other significant detriment to the technology ecosystem.
However, the Segway could go away without making too much of a dent.
This reminds me of the PBS show Secret City, hosted by COMMANDER MARK!

Apple figured something out several years ago. There are more idiots in the world than intelligent people. And they're taking money away from those idiots at an alarming rate.
Sure, but Yahoo doesn't make hardware or consumable software. They provide services on platforms created by other people which are used by their customers. You have to know your customers' experience before you can improve it.
But there is no maximum speed limit, so driving fast is not a fault directing condition.
Lanes with different speeds would not mean a lot of changing speed. It would mean accelerating to your chosen lane and staying there. I suggested overlapping speed zones to offer drivers the ability to change lanes for passing slower cars without having to change speeds. It doesn't create inconsistency - it actually categorizes cars into lane of the driver's chosen speed - producing more consistency. This is actually how multi-lane roads are intended to be operated anyway. Slower cars near the outer lanes and faster cars near the inner lanes. It's just not enforced by any actual speeds.
In regions of the United States there signs that read "Slower cars keep right", or "Left lanes for passing only". There's just no enforced speeds for these purposes.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but look at it from the other car's perspective. They're gaining on the truck at 40 KPH, which is fairly quick, and they check their mirror and see nothing so they go for the pass. Before they get around the truck you've shown up gaining on them at 130 KPH. Before they can accelerate out of the way you have to slow down to avoid rear-ending them.
No one is at fault for this - it's just the nature of a road system that allows such diverse speeds. In the US on roads which allow high speeds, typically greater than 60mph, there is also a minimum speed not more than 30mph below the maximum. If you don't have a maximum speed designated for the road it's much harder to manage a minimum speed.
One thought I've had is to have speed ranges defined per lane. It works best on roads with 3 or more lanes. Lane 1 would be 50-100 KPH, lane 2 would be 80 - 150 KPH, lane 3 would be 130 - 200 KPH, lane 4 would be 180 - unlimited KPH.
I don't know so much about stand up desks, but I did enjoy having a tall chair desk. If the desk could be used while standing and ALSO have a tall chair or stool I think it'd be great. That way when people walk up to you for a conversation they're not hovering above you.
It would also give me a better view of the street through my second floor window
I don't think explanations work with this topic. It's not like there's a lot to explain. The issue is experiencing roll playing games. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then an experience is worth a lifetime of explanation.
You can read about the Grand Canyon on Wikipedia and look at thousands of pictures, but until you've stood on the rim at Sunset you have no idea what it's like to stand on the rim at Sunset.
If I had the money, and was enough interested in having such a device, the Macbook Pro with Retina display is worth every penny. It's also required that it be non-user upgradeable in order to be what it is. If the parts were upgradeable it would be a more clunky computer and therefore not what was the target of the design. I don't think they logically came to the conclusion of eliminating upgradability as the primary goal. Their goal was to eliminate unnecessary bulk and weight while expanding functional capacity.
The only people prospering from all this are the lawyers and the journalists. STOP THE MADNESS!
I was in La Spezia and Lerici for a week.
