I hear that a lot but it's certainly not that black and white. * Capcom for example allows fan games as long as you don't profit off them. There are a couple of Megaman games for example. * Konami allowed the fan game "Castle

One of those organisations is the Belgian Sabam and are really crooks. In the past they were sued for fraud, bribing, tampering with the books... They are notorious for asking licenses for everything music related even if the artist does no

Personally I see more in Augmented Reality than Virtual Reality, certainly regarding applications. It's also not that commercial interesting that a big percentage of people gets sick of VR. We stopped demoing because of this. AR seems

There is only one Honda plant in the EU. Also because of the new trade deal between the EU and Japan it’s possible cheaper for them to export from Japan than a UK because of the brexit (regardless if there is a deal)

As a Flemish/Belgian museum try to post some historical Flemish Baroque paintings or statues on Facebook or a Google platform... For our clients that is a real problem. The irony is that you will a lot of those "explicit content&q

I can't speak for the UK but in Belgium it's certainly illegal to discriminate based on gender, age, race, .... There was even a case recently where a man won a lawsuit because he was excluded by a clothing store that was searchin

I know that here in Belgium the decision will also keep the choices of our neighbouring countries in mind and likely involve talks with them. I do think this will eventually will be the case for a lot of countries. I find it also kind of ir

Not being disrespectful but the country that is a lot against unification or more EU collaboration is leaving in March next year. So while I'm not particular pro-brexit but I do think this could have also a positive impact to the EU in

Can we use XML with multiple namespaces now? I find it weird that 3 years later working with xml namespaces is still troublesome - https://github.com/golang/go/issues/13400#issuecomment-16245...

"Sure, Android is dominating the European markets, but I find it to be a good thing. I am surprised that the EU commission never investigated Apple." You are answering your own question. The problem is that Apple is not under inve

I don't know how you are modded down because the irony is that the whole situation is historical speaking very hypocritical. Was it not for Samuel Slater that "stole" British inventions without regards for patents and improve

"People hoped that China would open up while modernising, so far it has not worked at all." The same can be said of the US these days. It seems to go backwards for some strange reason.

"US does not seem to steal for economic purposes at all." Sorry but they use their intelligence for economic reasons e.g. Airbus contracts. And Snowden leaks also revealed that spying is not only limited to security or political t

I looked it up I paid 351,90 euro for my 1070 last year now that same card is 500 euro's... I remember you could pick up a 1080 for 560 euro at that time. So sorry but no the prices aren't back to normal.

I love blender but its sculpting does not even come close for me as to Sculptris/3D coat for me personally. I really like Dilay because it certainly gives me the closest Sculptris experience and that also on Linux/Mac which is an

That is because you are too focused on doing it "right". That was something that I also had problems with in the beginning. Anxiety went away from the moment that I've read and accepted that there is no right or bad way to be

I have PTSD and practice mindfulness/buddhism and while it doesn't cure it, it certainly does help a lot. You can only act and change the circumstances when you have some new insights and there is where mindfulness/buddhism h

Maybe they can crowdfund ? If I read the news and see the prices to get "insights", it may be doable. Then again I find it troubling how easy politicians are getting bought these days while in essence it's not that hard to go

Kinda ironic that "terrorism" is so a big deal regarding Iran when there is no problem the impact a country like Saudi Arabia has. I'm not going to beat that dead horse that a lot of 9/11 terrorist were SA. But if you wo

I'm not an economist or an American but from my POV I find the first round of sanctions seems to be very interesting (and may I say) well thought. In this round focusing on agricultural products seems to hit those voters - where I assu

It's mostly the paying customer who ends up with the burden. I would really like to know the train of thought behind it because for me that is just plain weird. It's the same when you buy a movie or a television show on DVD/B

Not if you also allow other countries for looking out for their own best interests. And that is a big problem (among a boatload of others) with the current American administration. It is not America First but America only. That with no cons

If we could only harvest that negative spin, we would certainly have a working perpetuum mobile in no time. What is wrong with positioning yourself as a device maker that guarantees privacy and security ? In the end it's a choice that

It doesn't help if a lot of people get nauseous trying it... That seems a bigger hurdle then the price or investors. It's even worse then with the 3D-movie fad where people only complained about headaches. I've had the Oculus

So what are you saying that until the Internet it was virtual (no pun) impossible to investigate crimes? Maybe they can do like the rest of the world investigate rioters (that commits crimes) by analyzing camera footage? I find it hard to b
