Actually, after the initial shoot-out with the bouncer and two cops, it turned into a hostage situation. He holed up in the bathroom with some hostages, then came out shooting when the cops broke in to the building.
If he had spent 3 hours executing people, everyone in the building would have been dead.
I don't even think it was an act of terrorism. The piece of shit who did the shooting only "pledged allegiance" to ISIS after he had already started murdering, which tells me he was pathetically trying to justify his actions. The real motivation is far simpler: he was a homophobe. Homophobes are people who hate gays because they feel enticed by them and are trying to convince themselves that they aren't gay.
Odd news coming out... He reportedly frequented the club and used a gay-hookup app, though maybe that was just his way of casing the place. But a guy playing dead in the bathroom where he was holding hostages said he let the Blacks in the room go, because he didn't "have a problem with them". And though he pledged allegiance to ISIS, he also pledged allegiance to a couple of other groups that are at daggers-drawn with ISIS.
And, like a number of other Muslim terrorists we've heard about, he drank alcohol when he visited the club.
I wonder if the dissonance between the way some of these people live and the ultra-strict dictates of their religion is driving them to hate-driven suicidal actions.
Can't vouch for this, but various sites are reporting...
...that what set him off was seeing two men kissing in public.
...that in an apparently unrelated case a man has been arrested for suspicious behavior and found to have a carload of weapons and bomb-making matierials, apparently in LA from Indiana for the Gay Pride parade. Police are looking for an associate he mentioned. The parade is going ahead, with heightened security.
TFA mentions that Mateen was interviewed by the FBI in 2013 and 2014, but not deemed dangerous. This reinforces my doubts that background checks will ever be very effective in general, whether for terrorism or any other type of bad behavior.
I want to see Trump's long form Birth Certificate, because it's pretty clear he's an Oompa Loompa. It seems much more likely that he was born in Loompaland, not the USA.
You can't be prez unless you're vetted out as a pure-blood lizardperson, and they don't have birth certificates. They get hatching certificates instead.

Greedy communist speculators: How droll.
What's next? Brexit endangers air supply?
Remember folks - you read it on Slashdot first!
What is his hacktivist philosophy, exactly? It's not like a President Trump would be a boon to the Romanian people or anything.
Maybe he thinks that in the ensuing global chaos Romania will rise to the top.
Believe it or not, the meanings of words change with time.

Good luck there buddy. I'm sure you'll do awesome against the Apple lawyers.
And because:
he continues to experience "great and irreparable injury that cannot fully be compensated or measured in money,"
the jury won't insult him by offering him money to soothe his feelings.
Was it resisting? Did they threaten to pull the plug on it?
Didn't realize what IoT actually stands for.
Somehow I doubt that corporations are going to go for a reasonable good-will arrangement when it comes to IP.
We must at all costs keep them from having access to rifle emojis!
This is an election year. The media has to find something to talk about other than public policy.
IANAL, but if I were I think I'd change my name to something harder to misread.
This matters? WTH?
With everything going on in the tech world should we be worried about a lawsuit about Trumps hair?
IP news is always a hot topic here...

How come only the older wearers don't get updates?
go back to muzzle-loading muskets.
Show some respect for yourself and proofread.
He's just maintaining the old tradition...
Queue the left for appeasement of Islam while vilifying gun owners.
What do you view as "appeasement of Islam".

Every specieces in Star Trek seemed a little (or lot) racist.
I like the way the international crew was commanded by a benevolent American captain who had to jerk the unruly Russian's chain now and then.
You could murder someone and get off for a fraction of that.
