Then get him some therapy and get him back on the streets as soon as possible to be a constructive member of society. Killing them would waste all the taxpayers' money that has been invested in him to get as far as he did. I hope when you have psychological problems no-one calls for your death. I bet your family would rather you be helped than executed.
My wallet and keys can't be used to kill 10 folks at a distance. It's like if you have a siberian tiger in your house, you'd be rather retarded to forget it.
The dialysis machine essentially increases the length of the circulatory system, which adults can easily accomodate. Infants weighing under 6lbs would be turned inside out by even a children's model. The loop needs to be far smaller to stop that, which is what this doctor created.
Your friend is fucking RETARDED to not realise he's got guns on him. Jesus. That's how they get into the hands of irresponsible gun owners (though it sounds like they already were in the hands of a very irresponsible gun owner).
Or a plastic zipper that is just as strong as a metal one. Or plastic snaps that are just as strong as metal ones. Or a plastic buckle that is just as strong as a metal one. You know plastic, right? It's the same stuff they use in velcro.
So the problem is with your police force, and not their technology. Fix the fucking police, then. This stops being a problem with decent cops who are accountable for their actions. It sounds like you live in Mos Eisley.
How about suing the British government? That's still the exact same one. Or the US government? They're still around, I hear. Both did some pretty fucked up things.
Apart from the Australian Aboriginies. They (apparently, according to Crocodile Dundee) belonged to the land, not the other way round. I guess you'd have that outlook on the world if you lived in Australia, what with everything being poisonous and pissed off.
Because the album is NOT the product. The live performances are the product. Albums are advertising. Record labels are not needed any more - they don't need to produce any physical media any more. That can be done in any fab place that will stamp CDs. Record labels turned the album into a product simply so they can make money off of the artists. Their business model is not sustainable, as it is going to bring about their own end.
You just have to play for the public, and you'll get your audience. The idea of being a musician isn't to sell albums, but to sell tickets - to play live for your audience. The albums are supposed to be a way to entice people to the live shows. Musicians make most of their money from live performances. Some record labels are better than others, don't get me wrong. Many have embraced DRM-free digital downloads, but they do realise that while they might do a good job, all record labels know they aren't needed. All musicians need now are publicists. That's it. They don't need access to fabrication facilities. They don't need contracts covering vinyl breakages, etc. The idea of a "record label" is so out-of-date it's not even funny. Their one strength in the past - production - is entirely unneeded, and they know it. Their only remaining strength - marketing and publicity - can be carried out by much more capable firms, in much more targetted approaches, than some record label. Clearly the current situation isn't working.
If you understand that albums are essentially advertisements for their live shows, their whole business model suddenly starts to seem as retarded as it is. Bands make money from live shows, not CDs. Record labels know this. They want to cling to their business model where breakages of vinyl gave them a massive black-hole margin they could make serious profit from, at the expense of their artists. They make money by selling advertisements, albeit entertaining ones, to the masses. That can't be right.
Then where do we draw the line between "useful for the police" and "could be misused"? Surely it's arbitrary. If your real concern is possible misuse, then your real problem is not with the tool, but the people in control of it. How about instead of using the denial of technology to ensure the cops are not screwing with law-abiding people, you actually get a proper police force that won't misuse its abilities, or at least is heavily punished if it does decide to transgress. Using bureaucracy to protect people is a shoddy, half-assed, ridiculous idea. If the cops are the problem - fix the cops. If we go down the "ooh this could be misused" route, we can't have cops, as they could be corrupt. Clearly that's not a sustainable approach to law enforcement.
Indeed it is quite old. Why should we settle for "promising" when we can have "works brilliantly now, is supported in hardware in many computers" and just pick one of the existing codecs that everyone already knows about?
Exactly. Read about the Battle of the Beams in WWII. The Germans used codenames for their new radar sets that pretty much described their operation. Knickebein, Wotan, etc. As soon as the "Wotan" codename was heard by the Allies, they knew what it was the Germans were talking about.
As well as "police cars", we also call them "panda cars". "Jam Sandwiches" would also have been acceptable, although somewhat outdated. "Bobbie cars", while funny, isn't that accurate:)
Seriously. And not to mention if the client wants something integrated that has no method of integration. TeleVantage is one such product, but luckily for the client, the last version I used stored all its data in a MSSQL database, which allowed someone to crack the username/password by sniffing the traffic. I hate clients sometimes.

So he is retarded. Thanks for clearing that up.

All that added crazy must add weight too.
No way to get to another continent. GENIUS!

It's not stealing.
"Never sue an entity that can drop massive amounts of bombs on some Canadians who happen to be near you".
Fixed that for ya. Free of charge.

No, it's "available for Windows" in the same sense that you download the .exe from one of the many sites that host the binaries and run it.
You can read here about Theora's age, heritage, and problems. It's not FUD, it's the truth. Theora is a shitty codec.

Many people ARE that altruistic. It's called "taking one for the team", and it happens all the time.

That is complete guesswork on your behalf, obviously. Unless you are in on the IE development meetings, of course, which I seriously doubt.
