    I think most people do not see how this is somehow worse than being bankrupted for being sick. For the record, I don't either. I'll eat my dry bread if it means I can then continue…

    Do you have examples of sites that do not work in Safari but do in Chrome, then?

    If I understand you correctly, this censorship only applies to Facebook. If that's correct, then I still do not agree with the statement 'there is no free speech' unless Facebook i…

    Well, if the definition of free speech is 'it should be allowed on Facebook' then that's a horrible definition :) It does point toward a bigger issue, where Facebook is used and tr…

    What makes you say there is no freedom of speech in the EU? I also live there but I do not experience it like that.

    That could be. I also have zero scientific backing for it but for me, I would probably not have commented and indeed thought "oh, neat!" had it not been for the negative comments a…

    While I get that it's easy to hate on and make fun of Microsoft, why not applaud them for making stuff like this that apparently is 'a given' in the linux-world. What's wrong with …

    You can also use AutoHotkey[0] to create a script to emulate any keyboard layout. I use it (among other things) to provide me with arrow-key navigation on IJKL keys by pressing the…

    That's the whole point: you cannot use the car the same way as during the tests, even if you exactly match speed, acceleration, distance, friction, temperature and any other variab…

    How is embedding software that changes the way the engine behaves during tests versus during actual usage not fraud? The numbers may have been accurate _for an engine with the 'lim…

    I don't think the point of the article was that EFF should _not_ fight government on privacy, but that it _isn't_ also fighting the same fight, for the same privacy, against corpor…

    I agree. I've always held the EFF in a "they battle for good" light, without really researching their history or motives properly. So, it seems their marketing is at least effectiv…

    Seems to me that you can buy the SDK[0] (which is not much more than a Controller and a bracket to hold in against your VR headset of choice), so at least they've made some progres…

    You mean a device such as the Leap Motion Controller? http://store-eur.leapmotion.com/products/leap-motion-control... They seem to offer a VR headset add-on these days, but I've on…
