Given the video footage of people attacking his car prior to the collision in which she died I find it bewildering that you think that the crowd of people around him were somehow behaving.
The good news is that he's being put on trial for murder so we'll get the whole situation properly examined in a court of law, including his act of violence but also any extenuating circumstances (including, e.g., whether he was acting in justifiable self defence).
I haven't played it but that doesn't match what I've heard about the game. I thought it was an "open world" type game in which you can explore and engage in shooting/punching at will.
That it also includes a linear primary story may explain your perception, but I strongly suspect that story can be engaged largely as the player chooses, with plenty of time spent doing other things in between.
Nothing to do with piracy. They want people to buy on console and not on PC.
In a year a surprisingly large number of those console purchasers will buy a second copy on PC so that they can enjoy a superior gaming performance. Other PC gamers will buy the game and enjoy it for the first time.
Less cynically, there are enough differences between the platforms that there's sense in focussing the delivery team on the console releases and only after that turning their attention to the PC version. That lets them pace the work out better and also assure that they don't release a shitty console port on PC.
I'd rather wait and get a great game than get a compromised mess.
For many people their phone _is_ their camera, and just visit anywhere people go for entertainment or tourism to see the extent to which they use them. Cameras on phones matter.
Then again, my phone is over two years old and its camera is still perfectly adequate. A camera isn't a good reason to upgrade, but may be a differentiator when the time to upgrade comes.
Am I supposed to contact the U.K. authority and file taxes because some of my users may have come from the U.K.?
If your annual global revenue is over £500m then yes, you are.
Until then I wouldn't worry about it too much.
What happens when we end up with 190 different laws in as many countries? And then provinces and states?
Then you have a situation much like the current sales tax one, and comparable solutions will also work.
You pay taxes where you are incorporated.
Maybe. In the UK you pay tax on your activities in the UK and it doesn't fucking matter where you're incorporated.
If you make a sale, you pay sales tax where you have presence
.. and business rates, corporate tax, payroll taxes, other fees, etc. Have you ever run a fucking business?
I wholeheartedly disagree
That's fine. Just avoid generating revenues in the UK.
Not push everything back to the folks in Silicon Valley to pay for everything.
Right now the push is for the folks in Silicon Valley to actually pay for the benefits they're getting, instead of enjoying a free ride due to international transfer pricing.
This is a far more complex area than "waaah they want my money".
You don't know anything about scuba. This is obvious because one of the first things you learn in scuba is how you use air pressure as a proxy for consumption and dive time remaining.
Do they also teach that air pressure beyond the remaining structural strength of the cylinder results in zero dive time remaining?
Just that you appear to misunderstand the basic concept of "these things go bang sometimes" and how that is the pertinent factor, not their normal use condition.
I have no idea. He was dancing the same way that the black, asian, other jewish and other white people at the dance were dancing.
The threatened violence was related more to his request that drunk Ukrainians kindly leave the venue as it was a private event and they weren't invited.
You are just a racist asshole yourself: if you support Trump.
Oh dear. You appear to lack the ability to think.
Whether I support Trump or not does not dictate whether I am racist.
I do notice that you appear to have tried to skirt around the fact that Trump has a grand total of fuck all to do with this. I pity you that you're unable to look beyond the President of the United States when trying to account for the woes of the world. But as I said, you appear to lack the ability to think.
You appear to know far more about the KKK than I do. Out of curiousity are they actually white supremacist or are they just racist idiots?
At a dance last night someone threatened a gentleman of the Jewish race and religion. I made my presence known and the idiot backed down and left the building. Would this behaviour be acceptable in the KKK?
(Not that the Jewish guy needed any actual help. He's a black belt in ju jitsu.. but being obviously outnumbered stops trouble starting in the first place)
He was also an active user of other platforms, such as Facebook.
He also shopped at certain supermarkets and wore clothes of a given brand.
Maybe - just maybe - that doesn't make him belong to any of them. Maybe - just maybe - you're the person trying to shift the narrative and damn Gab by association.
Do you realize just how pathetic that argument is?
What argument? Your first sentence made no sense and was still more coherent than your logic.
The shooter posted that he hated Donald Trump. That's the shooter's words. Fucking argue with him if you want but stop posting such cuntish idiocy on here.
You can already buy "Round the world" cruise tickets for 2020 and will struggle to find anything still available for 2019, so it's not terribly abnormal.
My understanding of the failure (going on a 30 year old memory here) is that it was linked to the inability to prevent a hull breach from flooding the entire vessel.
Hopefully they've updated the design to better isolate the impact of any damage.

Or you can buy a kodi box for $40 which does fundamentally the same things.
So $40-80 retail feels a sensible price - or about 10 months rental. Yep, it's a rip-off.
That's bollocks. "This type of game.." like Mad Max, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Saints Row or even GTA.
All have high and very profitable PC sales.
Expect to see RDR2 on PC next year, maybe 2020.
Two? Try 10.
Many players will get over 40 hours of entertainment from these games. Some will get several hundred.
I haven't played it but that doesn't match what I've heard about the game. I thought it was an "open world" type game in which you can explore and engage in shooting/punching at will.

The top 10 James Bond films, adjusted, got about 3.6 billion domestically combined.
The comparison is on opening weekend. How much did they take on their opening weekends combined?
I go further, and write to the site to let them know they've successfully blocked me.
Unless they only offer a contact form and hide it behind recaptcha..

It's pretty fucking obvious that they're stupid already. So much for your chance to differentiate yourself.

I did not see anything about using liquid to store energy
Why were you expecting to? Could you quote which of lgw's posts even remotely suggested that was happening, because I can't see it.
I have no idea. He was dancing the same way that the black, asian, other jewish and other white people at the dance were dancing.

Why are you assuming they're not alive, and that they wouldn't be returned?
Elephant space tourism would be awesome.
No, I just fucking hate people using terms like "white supremacist" to describe people that clearly hate white people.
Pick another term and make it accurate.

Which social media site did the unabomber use? Or the IRA? Or any of the hundreds of other fuckwits perpetrating bombing campaigns before the mid-90s?
But you're right, the "I'm with her" types seem more likely to be accused of sexual assault or rape than engage more overt violence.
one of their own
Wait, the shooter was an employee of Gab? I hadn't heard that.
Umm. Unless you have evidence otherwise I think it's safe to assume that the people shot in Pittsburgh had white skin.
We can thus very safely eliminate white supremacy as a motive.
Further to that the shooter also breathed air and used Facebook. By your logic you should cease to do both.
