I hope you were sarcastic.

Nobody can spy on entire internet.
All they could do is archive the data and have the ability to find out what was going on in particular place of interest, if needed.

Argument about secret service/police mistakes is moot, since there is only about surveillance, not about what you need to actually arrest people.

And what if you dial a wrong number and all of it is official? (i.e. court authorized it)

I'm actually working on transnational projects where UK/DE mixed crew outperforming eastern colleagues was so obvious, that management has given up on the idea.

Anyway, if servers would need to be physically located in EU, they will have to have EU crew to support them.

Someone else will decide that and if your phone was at the wrong place at the wrong time and someone misread or misinterpreted some data you're going to be the guy on the floor with assault rifles pointed at your back and your family screaming around you.

But such mistakes can happen regadless of surveillance being legal or illegal.

Oh, right, because we're not voting any representatives of ideologies that have shown no such restraint into power in Europe. Oh, wait...
Because:
a) they don't have any chance to get into power
b) if they do get that far, they can change constitution and make all that legal anyway

They do protect corporation interests, no doubt (extending "copyright" to 100 years just because rights on Elvis' songs expire, US supreme court allowing EULAs to prohibit class suits), but what does that have to do with secret services?

Living in Germany, Snowden leaks didn't bother me much (and as I've heard from "Piraten Partei" member, most voters don't care either). I'm of no interests to secret services whatsoever and if checking my emails helps them fight some !@@#ers, I don't mind.
Intent DOES matter to me and I do not think that any government in western democracies would dare misuse this power for oppressing people.

From US perspective, I can understand you guys are worried about some of the surveillance being unconstitutional, but when law is breached at that level, it's like breaking UN laws, there is no authority to punish you.

To my knowledge, US (and, actually Israel) is present at German Exchange Points (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_exchange_point) so this move is more of a gesture, rather than actual protection.

Nevertheless Merkel's move is good for EU, already because it would create more jobs in Europe, so I welcome it.

Compare Steam's prices (and DRM) to GOG's, which has lower prices and NO DRM, and uh, I'm not that sure about "abuse".
I'm delighted for no-DRM STALKER trilogy going for 14.99$ on GOG.

I'm not German, learned it when I was in mid 20th and I have no problem whatsoever pronouncing (or reading) it.
There are words I struggle with (e.g. Eichhörnchen) but these are none of them.

Also take into account that being long doesn't necessarily mean being complex, long German words are often combined out of very frequently used words, which are easy to recognize.

What you've cited are actually 4 words. Verbraucher-zentralle Bundes-verband.

If AMD GPU prices are inflated there sure must be a card from competitors, that is faster yet costs less.
Care to name it?

AMDs own CPUs would run circles around Jaguar, single core performance is not the point of that CPU.
Although its cores are weak, it has 8 of them (running on a faster RAM that PCs get) and while PC game developers might not care, console developers suddenly do.

I'm not quite sure about that.
PS4 has a GPU that is between AMD 7850 / 7870, when building your PC you'd pay 150+ Euro for the GPU alone.

Despite "common knowledge" that "PCs are faster", at least if we can trust Valve's statistics (about a third of their PC users run games on an integrated GPU!), no it isn't.
7870 is a good mid range GPU these days even in PC world.
One could argue about underwhelming CPU part , but 8Gb GDDR5 and software written to use most of it's 8 cores makes up for it.

Germans in WW2 where always outnumbered.
They started the war being sure they are the better fighters (if you check most battles, including the largest tank battle of the WW2) and they were indeed.
Check the losses (typical in that war):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B...

USSR lost 4 times more people and 7 times more tanks while defending. (normally it's the attacker that takes more casualties, since it needs to breach prepared positions). Germans were outnumbered 2 to 1, yet they were attacking.

Entire campaign was adventurous from the very beginning, yet they were not far from succeeding.
