Criminal misconduct that resulted in a firearm-related fatality?
I'm pretty sure you can't just "make up" corpses with gunshot wounds. Not can you "make up" dead people hit by the person running away from the police.
It's a mix of coal lobby and a runaway trainwreck that is Green ideology. Now that most north and central European countries have basically implemented most of the things that Greens set out to originally do, they had to progress the ideology to sometimes absurd levels and branch out to other policies. This is one of the most absurd bases, where they are so stuck on "nuclear is bad" that they are willing to subsidize coal building. They have some good sides as well, as Greens are generally the "progressive thinkers" party in addition to "crazy tree huggers" one, in same sense as most right wing parties tend to be a mix of "pro business thinkers" and "religious nuts".
Because you know, guys with guns fleeing after a firefight and a violent encounter with police are totally white, nice and fluffy, model citizens and police should just wait for them to show up again and not try to prevent them from doing it again. What a nice example of police brutality!
Sometimes, it actually helps to read the source:
Authorities say the incident began when officers saw two vehicles full of people involved in some type of criminal activity in the 1000 block of Rosewood Court Thursday. When officers went to investigate, there was a physical altercation between police and 26-year-old Gerardo Diego Ayala that ended with a fatal officer-involved shooting. Police say a gun was located at the scene.
I do if plutonium spreads into the ecosystem used to grow my food. Why, you have some sort of a magical way to spot GMO from spreading? I think Monsanto would be very interested, seeing how they have this very problem!
The free-market has only one form of protection, and that is the protection for one with biggest guns against everyone with smaller ones. Testbed of extremist libertrarianism known as Somalia made this very clear.
Thing is, this isn't about "throwing money". This is about the very dominance they have in the market slipping away as market expands beyond desktop while staying "computer". This causes them to naturally lose dominance of the market. Their solution is to pop a lifeline between their desktop OS (which has a dominant position in desktop market) and mobile OS (which is nonexistent and on life support). The obvious effect is that one is strengthened and other is weakened by this. However in this particular case their mobile OS is rejected so badly that it effectively infects the desktop OS through the metro lifeline while mobile is not really getting healthier in return. And if desktop OS starts to tank, they have no dominant market position to fall back to, because their desktop OS is the source of that dominant position.
It's a really nasty situation for microsoft, and I'm rather surprised that they didn't start corrective movements on desktop sooner. It's one thing to prop the mobile and try to keep the total market dominance by trying to uplift the mobile OS, but to risk the desktop OS that is very healthy and widely used is a very high stakes game and inherently dangerous to their survival.
It goes to show just how much importance MS is placing on their success in the mobile.
The problem is that this is obviously not working. At all. And as that strategy unravels, they have to start handling the fallout from throwing their desktop OS under the bus to save the phone one.
Hence, these moves. They want to see how much of a lifeline from desktop to metro they can keep going before people start rejecting their metro on desktop.
It actually slightly improved on it. Not only do you guide ship with turrets, you can also fire behind your vessel while still controlling its direction. It's a F2P game, if you liked freelancer but wanted something that doesn't look as dated, and without the problems of having a huge universe and only a handful of players (PvP combat being rare instead of the core of the game), it's a nice game to play.
This is a game they didn't even announce. Can't really "delay" something you didn't even announce a name for yet, can you?
All in all, this is understandable. They laid foundation for this game when MMOs and social integration were the hottest thing. Neither is all that big now, and trying to shake their WoW gravy train at the time when it's slowly losing subscribers in the time of F2P MMOs is unlikely to result in anything good.
Sadly it's pretty old, and there are some alternatives out there. If you want combat with freelancer control scheme, you'd probably be better off playing star conflict, while if you want the universe, trading and grind, EVE is better.
Freelancer is still a good game, but it's just too old at this point. There's a limit to how much modders can squeeze out of the game.
Having a copyright to gun design does not prevent people from controlling gun distribution through use of social methods such as legislation or physical methods such as building bullet proof vests.
The entire point of copyright is to prevent medicinal research on the topic of the virus in question so that profit can be made by essentially blackmailing people into paying just to be able to do research.
When you're a business, you'll piss people off for the weirdest reasons.
Doesn't mean you have to care every time someone will get pissed. Else you'd be doing ntohing but caring about pissed off people. For the record, I don't think anyone who wasn't a "systems manager" was revolting. At least I never even heard about a revolt when intel started doing it. Reaction was "meh, whatever, I still get a chip I pay for" at worst.
Run battlefield 3 at 4k with 3d glasses on "standard 3d card" of your choice. Run it again on titan. This isn't audiophile stuff. There is a very real and easily quantifiable difference known as "frames per second".
Then you are essentially a bit like a wheel chair bound person arguing with experienced runners that you don't need >100 euro running shoes, 20 euro ones from supermarket are good enough. They are for you because you don't run.
You setup will barely run battlefield 3 (likely won't run at all or be an utter cripple at ultra settings). Same for crysis and other graphically intensive games.
But you will run many console ports just fine. After all, these are aimed at ancient hardware. Or at least you will for about a year more. Then console ports will become far more demanding as console hardware will get upgraded.
Reality is, it's not that your card is fast. It's that your standards are very low.
People aren't as stupid as you make them out to be (or in fact are). The costs in chip production are not in manufacturing alone - else taiwanese would have won the chipmaking competition long ago. Design costs are very significant, as are the costs of setting up the production process.

You just flat out accused them of lying. Then you claimed that you didn't. What?
"White nice and fluffy" refers to kittens.

Evidence to mad cow disease being transmittable to humans: likely, inconclusive.
Evidence that GMOs may be threatening to human life: possible, inconclusive.
Possibility that mad cow disease will self replicate itself in the wild: highly unlikely.
Possibility that GMO wheat will self-replicate itself in the wild: proven in the OP.
Conclusion: Risk vs reward is far greater in latter case then in former. Or are you that stupid?
US's reaction to mad cow disease was ridiculous and blatant protectionism. A tiny amount of sick cows in a huge flow of beef isn't a crisis.
That road goes both ways.

Indeed, that steam and people who aren't willing to pay money...
In power management settings. Just set power button press to shut down the machine. Or hibernate, like I have it set to.

It's sad how modern stock market and economy made people actually believe that ~20 years is "eternity".
Wearable spy device with indexing network that would make Stasi agents cream their pants is more like it.

They are experts on patents. The point is that current trend is for protection of private interests at cost to public and society.
