You pay a small fee per device to the consortium that created the standard, and in exchange your USB port is certified as not unleashing terrifying cyber-demons to everything that connects to it.
It's like getting a driver's licence and then lending it to your friends and relatives so they can go for a drive. You're completely ignoring the whole point of certification, whether you agree with certification or not.
I think the idea is that you would use Kinect as a pointer/gesture interface, seeing as every Xbox One comes with one. (Smartglass offers another alternative.)
I believe that's in reference to his time working as a software developer for an online games company and developing his own projects - Minecraft, various game jams - in his spare time.
They announced a long time ago - maybe years ago at this point - that they were abandoning a mod API in favour of providing source code access. Any mod API would be inherently restricted in ways that successful Minecraft mods aren't.
Actually, it's the opposite. The problem is that you have to wake the radio to do most of the interesting things on a smartphone which is a huge battery drain compared to the processor. iOS saves up pending background events, then rams the CPU speed up to the highest possible step so it can burn through the updates quickly and put the radio back to sleep. It works out "cheaper" in energy terms than running the CPU at a slower speed but having the radio on for longer.
The "M" coprocessor just records accelerometer and gyro events.
France distinguishes between "legitimate" religious activity and predatory cults, and therefore how France regards Scientology is absolutely relevant to this news item.
Well observed about Frum. I do wonder about cults where there isn't an easily assigned founder, they seem to have arisen spontaneously.
The point of my definition is to suggest that such a distinction is not as meaningful as it appears to be. In all seriousness, I think the distinction has more to do with age and therefore cultural acceptance and normalisation.
Freedom of religion is an issue here though, inasmuch that the disinclination to interfere with religious practices has broadened into a more general lack of oversight of the organisation. If it was a particular township or family that had a long history of abuse, it would be investigated very extensively. However the social obligation not to tread on Scientology's religious practices - such as handing over thousands and thousands of dollars - is trumping the social obligation to prosecute it.
That's a thorny patch because every step you take towards prosecuting them has non-obvious knock-on effects in weakening the protections of the religious freedom of other groups who are acting in good faith.
That's not a definition I'm familiar with. What about cults without founders? Do the cargo cults automatically, or never, reach status of religion given that John Frum has never existed?
I prefer the standard "a religion is a cult with an army and a navy". It's an arbitrary definition to do with scale.
Google makes an enormous amount of money through ad space on independent blogs and websites, so no. They're a horizontal company, not a vertical one: where there's ad space, they want to be there. G+ is a reaction to the idea that Facebook, a vertical company, might replace those blogs and sites.
The good journals give you the right to republish your figures in contexts that don't compete with the journal, at least. That said the terms are very weakly enforced. I've seen many a publications web page that features the text:
"Do to restrictions on simultaneous publishing, these papers come to you as a personal communication."
For the same reason that such clauses exist in book or record publishing contracts. There's bugger all advantage to the publisher in being one of fifty different people you've convinced to print exactly the same work.
No more than finding "a grand unified theory of tennis" or "the grand unified theory of pixar" would, no. On the other hand I don't expect "the Godfather of Soul" to be a mob boss or "Citizen Kane of science fiction cinema" to have the plot of Citizen Kane.
"A grand unified theory of X" is a very standard English idiom used to refer to a broad and extensive theory of a subject "X". It does not mean that the subject involves grand unified theory, but rather something that is the metaphorical equivalent of GUT in a different field.
It boggles my mind that you would be able to make such a misapprehension. It's not a particularly complex sentence to parse. If the article was about how tuna is the "beef cow of the sea" would you be complaining that tuna don't have hooves and aren't made of beef?
Optionally, it brings up the All Apps menu instead of the Start Screen. It's not quite a fullscreen Start menu, but that's the best comparison I can make.

Where do you get that Notch is just doing it for "teh moniez"?

A "prime example", no less! I can think of no worse example than an exact duplicate.
Why is that URL blank. :(
Well, exactly. The issue is that well-meaning efforts to protect religious freedom also shelter such harmful acts.
Normally I'd agree, but PNAS isn't a conference proceedings journal. It's more like Proceedings of the Royal Society.

Apparently you can cause all the social harm you want as long as it isn't in the form of a paramilitary action.

It's because revenue per click is six times higher on iPhone than Android. People spend more, they don't actually visit ads more.

The last time I checked, the BBC News running a story about your work doesn't make your work into a BBC TV show.
I think that "bizarre" and "natural" are hardly contradictory epithets. Standing waves the size of planets are awesome
