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.
There's a detailed explanation of all the various modes the gears interact in here: http://prius.ecrostech.com/original/Understanding/WhatsGoing...

Not quite - many ATMs I've seen size the slot so the raised numbers only go in one place so you can't insert the card the wrong way around.

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.

There's an option in the search settings to turn off instant results: https://www.google.com/preferences
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.

Snappy is faster than gzip/zlib:
"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."
