    Superman And Harley Quinn Marry In Nerd Wedding

    Stopped reading at "per-say". It's "per se". If you want to use latin, use it correctly.

    GTA V Trailer Recreated In San Andreas Engine

    I didn't realize San Andreas looked that old. Really looking forward to (a hopefully better optimized PC-Version of) GTA V.

    EA Germany: "Origin Is Not Spyware"

    Of course there will, however they will only be able to assess the symptoms (that is, it not grabbing data). not quite...both facebook and steam do noI said exactly what you said. You have a say in what information you provide with facebook, steam, iTunes. Not so with origin.

    EA Germany: "Origin Is Not Spyware"

    Sandboxing can cause problems with the game as well, and using a virtual machine is totally out of the question, as you bf3 would have to run in th vm as well. That can't end well, I promise.

    EA Germany: "Origin Is Not Spyware"

    There is a difference between that. Facebook? You are willingly giving the information to them for a service. Steam? You are asked if you want to upload the information, again willingly aggreing. Same with iTunes. Origin however simply leeches the information of you, with you having no say in...

    EA Germany: "Origin Is Not Spyware"

    Yes, of course it is in the EULA. However, the EULA isn't lawful either in germany, as you must know (on the box or whatever) beforehand what you are going to sign. Also, the EULA isn't allowed to break the law either, and while lobbyists are continiously trying to destroy them, the german...

    Science: Don't Worry, Physics Is Safe

    Kein Problem. Of course they are perfectly stationary to a ground observer. Unless the ground observer moves at 99% light speed through a space of 700km. That's the point. For the usual use case (fast moving car, boat or airplane), gps satellites are stationary enough.

    Science: Don't Worry, Physics Is Safe

    geosynchronous != geostationary. There is a difference between those, and while you won't pick that up in normal usage, in that case the difference was measureable. Geosynchronous satellites are at the same spot at the same time, however, they move north and south abit over the day. And that is...

    Court Shoots Down Bethesda's Scrolls Request

    They are trying to trademark a word in a certain scope of things related to the content of the game. Trademark - I don't you the words means what you think it does. There could easily be something "Scrolls" in a different scope. The point of trademarks is to prevent confusion of products in a...

    Neuroscientist Dismisses Dementia Claims as "Junk Science"

    It is called scientific peer review. Baroness Greenfield could just respond to it and they'd debate it. However, I guess she'd either remain silent or resort to ad hominem attacks like you did, both not helping the credibility of her article and conclusions.

    EVE Online Boss Apologizes For Everything

    It's by no means dangering the game however. I guess it is mostly alt chars (I myself still have 2 active accounts due to the 6 month recurring plan, but stopped paying for 3 other accounts), so no real harm done, probably cost a whole load of money though. Adding the fact that CCP had to repay...

    EVE Online Boss Apologizes For Everything

    Massive shitstorm mostly. CCP got out of touch with their community, thought they could do as they please, and faceplanted into the next millenium. Talking about 1/5 of the total accounts canceled. People didn't regain trust yet, might change with the next expansion.

    New Electric Bus-Tram Supercharges Battery Every Stop

    Well, what is the point in mentioning the voltage of the charge? Volts ins't the measurement for power, watt is.

    Open Source Software Company Set to Earn $1 Billion

    Uh... The sourcecode of facebook is open? I don't think so. Neither is the google source. Also, they don't give away to the user for free, your data (be it search statistic, your own personal data, etc.) is good compensation. To put it better: you are selling yourself way below price.
