Did anyone else at first misread that first word as "Telepathy?" Because a Telepathy-based start-up for addressing mental health issues... now THAT would be cool.
Well one question is how they're collecting the location data. If it's from GPS geolocation, that's garbage (my phone's geotag data is usually at least an hour out-of-date) and easy enough to evade or spoof. If they're doing it via cell tower triangulation... that might actually work.
If it's anything like location data in Twitter, the reason they probably stopped is because the majority of location-tagged information exchanges from cell phones are made by teens, and the NSA was probably sick of sifting through conversations debating the relative merits of Justin Bieber vs. One Direction.
Why in my day we.... had punch cards run at the nearby community college using RPG. Must be nice to get that new fangled technology
That's awesome if true. In my day it was TI-83s. I think it's fascinating how the platforms change in each generation, but the kids--and their (our) desire to hack--does not.
Giving a kid a powerful toy and then telling them not to play with it is the height of absurdity.
This reminds me of TI-83s in middle/high school. You weren't supposed to install games onto them, and teachers would often threaten to wipe them if they found stuff installed (tbf, the concern was probably mainly cheating tools), but everyone had Tetris and Galaxian and Dying Eyes and Hegemony.
barricades had since been erected to block access to the final stretch of the taxiway and that they would not be removed until Apple had updated its directions.
I'd actually argue the opposite. The people who care about the scrolling text are also the ones most likely to be able to revert a setting or customize their install to better suit their own purposes. Nitwits who get scared by walls of text are unlikely to be capable of making their own splash screens.
The ideal OS is one where 90% of the functionality is easily usable by 100% of the user base. There's nothing wrong with power users having to do a little work to get that extra 10%.
The real problem with "kids these days" is that the internet has made it easier than ever to copy someone else's work and pawn it off as one's own. Of course, it's also become easier to Google a few sentences of a kid's paper and find that they cribbed it from a website, but even so, this is a pervasive problem. So if you're educating children that taking other people's intellectual property is wrong, how about starting with academic dishonesty and plagiarism?
So difference in acceleration between your head and your feet will always be: a1-a2=omega^2*r-omega^2*(r- 2m) a1-a2=omega^2*(2 m)
Assume acceptable acceleration difference is 1 m/s^2 (just for sake of argument and easy computation). Then the maximum omega^2 is 0.5 radians^2/seconds^2.
Assume we want the acceleration at the floor to be 10 m/s^2 (approx. 1 earth gravity). Then using the first equation, we get a radius of 20m.

Actually, it's you who missed the reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wpx6XnankZ8&t=2m58s
If they're fixing the USB compatibility problem, presumably someone will make a third-party accessory that's basically just a BT dongle.

Honest question, has this sort of thing ever been actually documented outside of Game of Thrones and Klingon history?
Wouldn't it be cheaper to float a blimp?
Goddamn it, Grim. I'm a doctor, not an engineer.

Yeah. Because rape is super easy to prosecute.
Why not just make it legal for the ex-gf to kick the guy in the balls?
No, getting caught in a flux transfer is how you get your light ship all the way to Cardassia.
You forgot to calibrate the Heisenberg compensators.
Yeah, the summary really did sound like technobabble right out of Star Trek.

Not clear why they weren't there before.

But no shit, Sherlock.
GOTY = Game of the Year.
Again with the alphabet soup.
Nowadays, the parents would sue the school for allowing there to be a hornet's nest on school grounds.
PDF warning.
No, they don't dispute that the students own their own papers. They just claim that their further sale of the submissions constitutes "fair use."
To me the horrible thing about TurnItIn is that they run this site as well.

Start with a=omega^2*r
Assume human height is 2m.
So difference in acceleration between your head and your feet will always be: a1-a2=omega^2*r-omega^2*(r- 2m)
a1-a2=omega^2*(2 m)
Assume acceptable acceleration difference is 1 m/s^2 (just for sake of argument and easy computation). Then the maximum omega^2 is 0.5 radians^2/seconds^2.
Assume we want the acceleration at the floor to be 10 m/s^2 (approx. 1 earth gravity). Then using the first equation, we get a radius of 20m.
From the commit ttile, they're heavily implying it's optional: xsettings: Disable middle-click paste by default
Looks like you just comment out one line. The difficult part will be recompiling.
