It wouldn't be murder as defined in law, but it most certainly is killing in the colloquial meaning of the word. Killing can mean an awful lot of things, just consider "killing time" or "the other team is KILLING us". Thinking killing isn't murder is just self-delusion, trying to justify ones immoral actions.
Device makers can do this: A fat12 partition with 8.3 filenames and an autorun. It installs an ext2 driver and unmounts the fat12 disk. Users only see a normal looking disk with long filenames and large file support. Ext2 slowly becomes the new defacto standard. Microsoft embrace and extends it... We start all over again.;-)
"I sometimes have a queer feeling with regard to you -- especially when you are near to me, as now: it is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. And if that boisterous Channel, and two hundred miles or so of land, come broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communion will be snapped; and then I've a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly."
In my opinion, churches that take stances on political issues like that should lose their tax-exempt status, as the clause under which they are tax exempt clearly prohibits political activism.
The IRS would seem to agree with you. An example. (Random google find, it mentions many churches being investigated)
I've heard there's now hundreds of cases like these going on with the IRS removing tax exempt status from many churches nation wide. It's about time, religion and politics have been strongly mixed throughout history and the United States has been no exception. Many churches you go inside and they'll start straight out telling you who and what to vote for. Ministers can't sell the votes of their congregations without becoming a political organization as much as they might like to believe otherwise.
The same thing that happens when you loan your Harry Potter book to Mark. Then Mark scans it and uploads to the Pirate Bay, including the front page that says "If found please return to JimboFBX A113 5th St."
In other words, it may get you in court but it proves nothing.
Malls sometimes have weird rules in place to regulate competition among their leasers. For example when I was a kid the mall by my house had a magazine/newspaper store and upstairs a baseball cards / comics shop. Officially it was a baseball card shop, and the comics were kept in a limited area in the back of the shop. I asked the owner why they didn't have more comics there and he explained that since they were within ____ feet of the magazine shop they weren't allowed to have the comics use up more than ___% of their store space. It didn't matter that the magazine shop only had the current month's comics and the card/comic shop only had back issues, since they both had "comics" the mall decided to regulate the sales.
Now I don't know if that's standard for malls everywhere or just a matter of the larger shop getting favors to keep the smaller shop from growing.
Your idea doesn't work because a judge will enforce the contract from the state it was signed in. You can't simply move to California to escape your contracts, that's what's going on right now in the Apple case.
Your post appears to claim Cyril invented the idea of the virgin birth, what I actually find is that he was a strong proponent of the "Mother of God" idea.
It didn't take hundreds of years for Christians to believe Jesus was born of a virgin, it states so at Matthew 1:23 where Isaiah is quoted and Jesus is said to fulfill a prophesy that a virgin will have a child. Now you can make the case that Isaiah was mistranslated and the word shouldn't have been virgin, but the point remains that Christians believed this from the start, no Cyril needed.
But yes, Cyril's arguments lead to a greater veneration of Mary and the idea of her being a perpetual virgin. Obviously that wasn't something argued by early Christians since they knew exactly who was in Jesus' family, it was only at a later time that the possibility of him having fleshly brothers and sisters became debated.
Microsoft hasn't clearly stated that, since they obviously can't admit they knew a normally operating unit can cause scratches. However they do have this little fact working against them.
Shortly after the launch, Microsoft dispatched a team of engineers to retail stores across the country to investigate complaints by store employees that the Xbox 360 was routinely scratching discs during demonstrations.
In this instance they can't possibly blame it on the users, since all the game stores enclose their systems in plexiglass to prevent anyone touching it. I'm sure if this point is brought up in court they'll simply claim someone must have shaken the demo game systems when nobody was looking. Perhaps in the future XBox demo systems will need to be bolted firmly into the concrete to prevent scratches.
There is no corresponding example of super-luminal travel. It is not possible given the current knowledge of physics, and that knowledge has been stable for a century. You are as likely to see violations of conservation of energy, or momentum, or baryon number (this is the one that nixes star-trek transporters) as you are a violation of the speed of light in vacuum.
Maybe we just can't SEE the hyper-dimensional space whales.
There's a lot of songs in people's libraries that clash badly, mainly those that were intended to be gapless when followed by anything else. I think the simple solution is to play gapless when on album mode and play with a gap (user preference) when using random playback. Then both groups of people are happy and your ears get a chance to adjust between songs that weren't meant to be played back to back gapless.

No Michael Crichton is dead and can't high five anyone. ...
Now if there were only some way we could get a DNA sample... preserved perhaps by a mosquito or some other blood sucking insect.
Did he have any lawyers?
Then they outlaw encryption without a license.
I'm a tuna you insensitive clod!
I wiped my partition table.
Ooops.

/me cries a little thinking about the first season of the original Dr. Who, and the complete Metropolis.
Would that be #5CE97C? Ooooh that's a nice light green I like!

Sounds like a lot of people online. Their taut seemingly educated veneer quickly explodes into a flamewar when their ideas are questioned.

Wow... Steve Ballmer is the Kingpin.

It's Miracleman all over again. Well at least we know how THIS story ends.
Surely not! We all know here that ducks float.

I'm imagining Pirates of the Caribbean in Japanese... featuring the lovely Captain Jack Boy-Toy. Fitting.

Even better, the millions of owners of the Simpsons Movie across the world who are now possessors of child porn.
Time to build some new prisons and get this crackdown MOVING!
