Sigh, yes I believe most of the police are honest.
So the police have had cubic rocks raining down on them pretty much all day. If you were in that situation, your only defence, a plexiglass shield, a helmet, a baton and a gun. Would you not have been rather scared? Then your partner goes down, you fire warning shots and still one moron continues to throw rocks in the direction of the person who has gone down. I can just say, I would have done the exact same thing as the police officers who shot. The moron had his warning.
Now, just 1 water cannon would probably have been enough to stop this when it started. Instead we ended up with a trashed main street in a big city, plenty of looting and rioting. Is this not argument enough that the police should have other tools at their disposal than guns? I believe it is, but the government doesn't want to.
So don't be angry with the police, be angry with the politicians who do not give them the right tools for the job.
The part you asked about: Heavy rioting broke out and a smaller group of police officers were subjected to a massive attack in which one of them was struck down. While defending their colleague, the other officers fired warning-shots with their sidearms. This halted the bulk of the attack. One attacker continued to throw rocks in the direction of the fallen policeman. Two officers fired at the rioter who was critically injured. Two other people received light injuries by ricochets.
A criminal investigation against the police officers was opened but later closed as it found that they had acted in defence of the struck down officer. When more evidence became available in the form of video recordings, the investigation was re-opened twice and both times closed again as the ruling remained the same.
I can't tell you how many times I have played through The Monkey Island series Sam&Max Day of the Tentacle Maniac Mansion Simon the sorcerer series etc
However lately (since 2000) the only games I can think of are Monkey Island 4 and Simon the sorcerer 3d. The adventure game market was vibrant until the 3D games hit. Since then I have not seen many, and I miss them.
No they wount. That's one of the biggest markets in Europe.
Imagine the board meeting when the president of the company says: "And sales in europe are down 10% due to us moving out of France instead of agreeing with their law, letting competitors get a major foothold in europe with a product that'll be percieved as better than ours because it's allows consumers more freedom in choosing music dealing vendor. Moving ON!" I believe this would be the answer: "It seems we put too much trust in you and promoted you to your level of incompetence, enjoy unemployment!"
Like others said, the companies will probably end up agreeing on some kind of system like the DVDs already use. Still DRM, just less locked in to a single brand.
What I find more of a problem is work addiction. Sure they get money out of it, but a lot of times they sacrifice everyone who cares about them in the process. Is the money really worth not knowing your kids?

Depends, will the heatsink be included?
No replay value?

A medical college in Valhalla, I thought they just made plans for Ragnarök and had feasts while getting drunk there.

Even Canada
Even CANADA people, how dare those wannabe americans rank higher than the only true country of freedom the god damned U S of the A!
I also find it difficult to take him seriously.
p roductID=624 might have something to do with it.

"is 50 MHz really that large a discrepancy?"
Well it is more than 10%, that's pretty big.
Oh dear lord, a company wants to make sure their product gets the best review possible and tests it before they send it.
I'm shocked!
throw [ing]in some jail time I think we'll be a little more effective
Yes, sue the fans and throw them in jail. He was later overheard saying.
That'll show the little bastards and make the other little bastards want to pay through their nose. Now gimme my mirror I want to see my lover.
I think we have stumbled over who wrote the virus.
Richard Stallman is the only Free software fanatic.

This game is being developed but doesn't have much direction at this time, to make a suggestion email me.
I hear Jack Thompson recently had some ideas.
Didn't listen to your perfectly logical response "I can vibrate" eh ;)
I bet the conversation ended with "Call you later" too.
(Sorry)
It now features a vibration instead of a light altert.
In other news, female use of computers up 500%.

You sure got me confused.
You are one of them, aren't you?!

Reminds me of a comment from a week or 2 ago.
"Infected with DRM"
Actually according to Pratchett, DEATH speaks in capitals.
Of course, Death will eventually visit god, so we all know who is boss.
Obviously most real cases are mixes of these
So, most real cases are governments controlled by demonic aliens? Now I'm scared!
But why are these texts always in CAPS? Makes it very hard to read.
Or maybe, they do it to see who reacts.
Who starts using some other kind of communication?
What sites disappear?
Oh look it's the presidents speech writer!
