The Earth is surrounded by a shell of satellites and telescopes, radios, receivers of almost every frequency spectrum. Our airspace is constantly monitored by militaries and civil outfits all across the world.

Yet some people still think a UFO could float directly overhead with absolutely no detection.

Maybe I have a lack of imagination for alien technology, but even aliens have to follow the laws of physics.

We just read the judge's decision. It's over a period of one month. And it's clear that she was being deceptive in some way from the evidence provided, as she kept offering new excuses that changed the nature of what she was claiming every time she was presented with evidence challenging her previous excuse.

Also, this is in Canada, so we're less familiar with the specifics of the laws there. It does, however, present a nasty precedent for companies to take advantage of even in dissimilar situations.

Depends, especially if there is some voice component to the game. I also imagine it improves the voice pick up quality as it won't have to work so hard filtering out background noise. Also, suppose some mad lad made Outlast VR (if it doesn't exist already), not everyone wants to hear someone scream full volume. (Now that I think of it, adding a mechanic that enables enemies to find you based on the noise from your voice and or breathing in a VR setting could be quite an addition to the survival horror genre, for example, Alien: Isolation, where the xenomorph can find where you are hiding if you are too noisy.) Alas I am no programmer, but, it seems that such a thing would actually be possible to implement...
