1) One story was the juicy rumour. The other was the confirmation of the juicy rumour. It's not like it's the first time this has happened on Slashdot, or any other tech news site.
2) Two stores is not "so many Minecraft stories"
Yes, there's an auto-download setting on the Mac.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that goarilla was actually just making an atrocious data-mining pun.
Moichandising, moichandising. Minecraft the game isn't worth $2.5 Bn but I suspect that the Minecraft licencing business will probably add up to that much in the long run.
According to Mojang, Microsoft has agreed not to meddle in the development of the game for other platforms, although they point out that they can't do anything about any objections platformholders might have about distributing a Microsoft game.
Yes, "more" is the addition operator, "times" is the multiplication operator. Combining the two is idiomatic but generally read as just meaning multiplication.

Similarly "N times less" doesn't mean "Subtract N times the original value", it means "reciprocal N times the original value".
Unfortunately there's no
We've decoded part of that beta invitation... except it doesn't look like it was an invitation. It looks like it was a warning.
You really should've called them out on calling it "BC" rather than "BCE" while you were at it. What's pedantry without thoroughness?
Quite aside from tradition, which is great, there are situations where you need to send a message to a physical address. Maybe the occupant doesn't have a phone or email, or you don't know their contact details, or whether they even have a phone or email. If that message has to get there within three hours rather than overnight, then the $4.30 rate is pretty competitive with getting an express courier to carry a post-it note.
