    Does that make the prejudice less bad (or what is your point)? the Jewish in Germany were killed for their religion as were communists and many other social minorities AFAIK.

    The word prejudice doesn't sound as bad as 'racism' but racism is merely a simple subset of prejudice'

    Charging a device with the EM waves sent by other devices is considered energy theft and thus forbidden.

    That is absurd from a scientific standpoint. I live in Europe and have never heard of such a law.

    Radio waves travel exactly the same as light, they are both EM waves/photons. It is no more possible to steal Radio waves than it is to steal light from a street light.

    This concern for 'The Economy' is a massive part of the brain-washing, there will always be an 'economy' it is not something that anyone other than the richest 1% should be concerned about.

    Currently in Europe we have unelected politicians (The Commission) Jointly writing the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) with corporate lawyers. This TTIP contains SOPA and 'investor-state dispute settlement' And god know what else, it is democracy destroying. The reasons we're told we should accept this agreement are 'free trade' and 'the economy', we're told it would help GDP by 0.5% or whatever and they say it will create jobs (Like NAFTA did!!).

    The point is when we are told something will be good for the economy and good for jobs, it is typically wrong and nowadays an outright lie.

    Good for the economy means more money for the 0.1%.

    Of course an Apple charger-plug would never over-heat or anything.

    Note that £1 ($1.69) includes postage+packing+ebay+paypal fees which means the plug cost...almost nothing, I'm amazed that they can sell it at that price, the charger must only cost a few pennies to make.

    Indeed, hardware hasn't progressed as much in this latest iteration of consoles and the increase in hardware power doesn't lead to as big a change in graphics as the previous iteration. I think Sony and MS should have waited 2-4 more years before releasing this time round.

    I've got burnout: paradise and quite honestly think it's outright boring. It has no soul, the city lacks pedestrians, it lacks all kinds of shops and businesses, it feels very small, there doesn't appear to be any story at all, even the other cars seem driverless.

    And the driving is naff, when the cars lose control it feels 100% arbitrary.

    Ok, so you have a first-past-the-post system which means if you don't vote for one of the 2 leading parties then your vote means nothing.

    Google's test vehicles have done 700,000+ miles on cherry-picked quiet roads that have been 3d digitally mapped extensively. They say they are about to test their cars on 'busy' roads now. So reset that "nearly half a million mile" counter to near zero.

    You seem to be more confident than Google - they will be trialling their cars at 25mph, so much for the quick reaction times everyone is going on about.

    It seems to me that a lot of people have jumped to the fallacious conclusion that hi-quality imaging and fast computer processing = good quality recognition and response time, it doesn't - as shown by the fact that the drivers have had to take control of the cars on occasion. I'd love to hear why the drivers had to take control and how often... and what would have happened if they didn't take control?

    Google's driverless cars have already racked up 700,000 accident free miles in autonomous mode (albeit with a human ready to take over).

    That 700,000 miles is on some very specific quiet roads, their latest literature says they will now test the cars on 'busy' roads.

    I'm not against autonomous cars, I think they would be great for car pooling and (hopefully electric) taxi-cabs that cost > 50% less.

    Same attitude with steam - steam is odd because the prices on Amazon for the DVD version are typically much much cheaper - there are many excellent PC games selling for a fiver - games that have been thoroughly patched and often have the DLCs thrown in too.
