I don't see how banning books is going to help when the gang is persuading people with knives rather than reading material. Of course for politicians (rather than boots-on-the-ground prison staff and their inmates) it doesn't matter whether it actually is effective, just that it appears to be.
They already killed it; Ouya is becoming a software platform that'll run on other Android devices, and the existing microconsole is probably going to gradually go away. If they have to compete with Google Play, they need to drop anything that developers might not like.
Spectacles are often preferable to laser surgery and contacts if you need vision correction. No eyewear at all is still preferable for most if you need no correction, though. I'm not sure there's a huge market for frames that only exist to hold up a little screen. Frankly, if they're so committed to glasses-wearers, they should come up with a version with a universal mount and adjustable fitting to sit on ordinary frames.
That seems like the most obvious thing in the world, short of taking the idea and transferring it into something people don't mind wearing like a wristwatch.
Forget FedEx. You call your phone company to set up service, that's a hop. Anyone else who calls that number, getting a phone service set up, is now within two hops.
And like coders, many amateurs are so skilled that they become professionals, and many professionals retire or lose their jobs to become amateurs. It's a continuum, where your ability to move between the groups (be hired or fired) depends largely on merit, but also on a lot of other factors
Ridiculous. The creationists, anti-vaccination advocates, anti-global warming people, bigfoot hunters and investigators of Atlantis all tell me that scientists totes agree with each other on everything and never succeed by competing and challenging each other's ideas. That many quacks can't possibly be wrong about everything.
You can "ignite" the bush without immediately creating obvious smoke and fire. People cause brush fires by stubbing out cigarettes for the same reason, they think "the ground I stubbed this out on is not currently obviously aflame, therefore I'm good".
Alice, Bob and Speedy all know exactly where their transaction is going. It's classic arbitrage: whoever can identify an inefficiency and figure out how to place him/herself in a place to exploit it, wins.
Nature Materials hasn't actually put the paper in an issue yet. When they do, there should be some decent editorial in Nature Mat itself and probably Nature's public news site. Meanwhile these articles are riffing on this press release and (apparently) some other press comments the author has made.
These hybrid materials could be worth exploring for use in energy applications such as batteries and solar cells, Lu says. The researchers are also interested in coating the biofilms with enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of cellulose, which could be useful for converting agricultural waste to biofuels. Other potential applications include diagnostic devices and scaffolds for tissue engineering.
The Register writes text news with the editorial style and standards of a red-top tabloid, and your reaction to the research it describes should be filtered appropriately.
Did you create the B5 universe to be a space for new stories in the future, or was it all built around the specific tale you wanted to tell? The spinoffs seemed to go off on tangents away from that show's characters, organisations, and setting.
You need to sell a devkit that's feature-complete compared to the production model, so they're going to have to release this at some point before the actual finished product.
It's a property of the sensor, not the console. The post he's replying to argued that because console games run with a narrow FOV (an optimisation for a large but distant monitor) they couldn't possibly drive a wide-field-of-view output device. Which is just wrong.
They're off doing the more interesting things that are enabled by the high level-languages and tools you decry: designing robotic swarms, writing interactive protein folders, analysing the semantic content of language through the internet. People didn't lose interest when they abandoned the old tools, they abandoned the old tools because they're not the only intellectual game in town.
VR gives you a low angular resolution because your "screen" is spread over a wider field, which lets you get away with that reduced graphics budget. So a fringe benefit of VR might be games with a mode that gives you fewer shinies but a consistent, high framerate for a change.

At last, the real culprit is revealed: zinc.

The issue they're describing is to do with voice call records.
Bear in mind that's same basic OS that has them selling $500 tablets while everyone else is at $200. That's not a bad job all things considered.

Genius.

Err, Speedy isn't in the middle of anybody. All three parties are trading, individual, with the same fourth party: the market.

No more than you'd notice a smouldering cigarette in the long grass, no.
What, the researchers called their agent and said "I'm doing The Andromeda Strain again, but with nanomachines"?

They literally mean "from scratch": none of the original computer models exist in any form, as far as I know.

Slashdot: not even reading the summary since at least 2003. Probably longer.
It doesn't say that anywhere.

Life not based around carbon and water would have to be be so profoundly unlike our own that it might not be recognisable as life.
