Right... the old testament is the Jewish book. Christians are supposed to be all about the "new" post-12 step program god who was all about peace and love.
The whole IDEA of Christianity is that christ (Jesus) came to Earth to reform us and teach us the new ways. No true Christian should be clinging to the OT to justify violence.

I just don't understand how the shooter thought that discharging a firearm inside a crowded movie theater was in any way going to aid in his effort to quietly watch the previews and later feature presentation.
In what possible way was shooting another patron NOT going to stop the projection, evacuate the theater and end up with the shooter at least detained if not arrested and in jail for the next few hours?

Did he really think: "Well, if I just shoot this one guy then we can get on with the rest of the film?

There must be some mental instability lurking in there somewhere: anger/rage issues, delusions, drug use, etc.

Naa, we needed one more shooter to shoot the first shooter thinking that another mass-shooting was about to happen. THAT would have been a justified shoot to me.

I can't recall: which book/verse exactly is it where your god tells you to arm yourself to the teeth to protect yourself?
I see lots of indications of pacifism in the biblical text, up to Jesus showing us that we are better off allowing ourselves to die with our faith and morals in tact than to raise a fist, or even voice, in opposition to our oppressors.

Ah... We have an eye witness with infallible determinations of intent and an eidetic memory of exactly what happened in a dimmed theater.
I wish there were more people like you in the world.

The account I read at NYT is that the shooter left the theater to get a theater employee but came back in without finding one. The altercation then escalated to the shooting. There was no mention of the shooter leaving the building and certainly no mention of walking to a car to retrieve a firearm; where are you seeing that information?

There is a video recording of the incident. All large theaters have night-vision cameras watching the audience and this issue will be quickly settled once prosecutors see that recording. They either file charges based or not, knowing that a jury will convict or acquit based upon that video clip.

"Infinitely weaker' would mean powerless.
IF the NSA were powerless then it should be dissolved. Since No-one in the NSA is saying THAT should happen, they must think they still have a lot of power.
I don't doubt the NSA's spying effectiveness has been diminished, but I think the implication they are impotent is a lie.

The parent company (Volkswagen) is. Their pickups (and delivery type) sell quite well in the markets where they are available.

If I follow: the jail-breakers, who want to get out of Apple's walled garden, are complaining that someone is operating outside their own walled garden and allowing software and services the jail-breakers don't approve of to be run on hardware they don't make?

care to cite some sources for your random statistics?

None of those are large connected systems. They are single user applications. Word doesn't need to access remote systems to get information about anything.
And it does matter. They're not hiring Microsoft, just a guy who worked there and knew how to buy companies; not how to build or repair large highly diversely integrated systems such as healthcare.gov.

The law wasn't the "specs". Specs are "how do we handshake with SSA to verify a SSN", "what format will NJ's DOVS return birth certificate data in?"
It took years to write the specs one the framework of the statute was in place.

What large connected software system has MS built without purchasing a company that was already doing the thing and re-brand it?

If you don't want to be forced to use more efficient lighting in your home then you should be forced to have a new power plant put in your backyard.
Simple fact: more people using more electricity means we need more power plants. Reduce per capita consumption of energy and you eliminate the need to build new power plants.
You can't have the energy inefficient lights and choose to fight against a new power plant down the street as everyone seems to do.

Show me an undetectable piece of firearm ammunition and I'll start to worry. A 3D plastic gun is useless if you can't get ammunition in to the building as well.
