Woah that's bad. Good thing nobody's ever been harmed by a bee sting!

You see, you can claim to want a gun for self defense but how many do you need? What did she need that arsenal for? Why so much ammo?
The better question would be why did she feel it was safe to store the guns in the same building as someone who she knows is mentally unstable.
Yes, there are many MUD's that have been running even longer. But that's citing the *exception*, not the *norm*. Most MMO's, like most MUD's, have a certain shelf-life.
True, and the *norm* for shelf life is typically when the expenses start to outweigh the income. It sounds like the plug was pulled on this far earlier, if they're taking in $900k/mo.
But when you buy a MMO, you have to know that it's not a permanent thing.
Yet amazingly, Everquest and even Ultima Online are still running, after 13 and 15 years respectively.
That's not ironic, it's coincidental.
"The use of words expressing something other than their literal intention." Now THAT is irony!
2.Happening in the opposite way to what is expected, thus typically causing wry amusement.
I would guess that if most people were asked if the DRM-included version or the DRM-free version would be the most pirated, they would have said the DRM-free. That is the expectation. The opposite happened.
Shooting somebody is worse than any disks, so yes, a few, compared to your bank manager or other legal thiefs anyway.
There's no question that murder is worse than mass marketing copied media. I just felt the need to point out that this wasn't just some guy making copies for his friends.
It seems you got more chance to get a minimal sentence when you shoot your procecutor than copy a few disks.
10,500 disks is more than a few.
“The Smart and the Fiat 500 have high sticker prices, and people buy them because they are small cars,”
Fiat, maybe, but people aren't buying Smart cars because they want a tiny car. Smart cars are small because that's what the technology required for electric cars at the time.
Facebook allows other people to add you to groups - in other words, your 'friends' can basically edit an aspect of your profile. It's bizarrely stupid, and has been a common complaint for a long time, and this wouldn't have happened if Facebook didn't do this, but Facebook defends this practice.
To be honest, the same effect would result if one of her friends posted "Hey, what's it like being a lesbian?" on her wall. I don't see anyone advocating a way to prevent that from happening.
The easier lesson from all this is that if you're going to try to keep secrets, but be active on social media, eventually you're going to get burned.
If SkyNET developed a conscience, it would cancel third world debt and cut spending from pork-barrel programs, and would also be vegetarian.
Or at least it may feel bad about it. Simply having a conscience doesn't mean you listen to it.
There was no purple flare camera issue on the iPhone 4 / 4S
Not true. There was just no hysterical news vomit about it.

People tried to call in to report it, but their calls kept dropping.
Here's the problem with your example: You could injure yourself crossing the street, too. You could trip and fall. You could get hit by a car. Your story could have just as easily been about when you tripped and fell down the stairs and hit your head on a radiator.
Does that mean we should wear protective gear everywhere at all times? Or could we maybe accept that life isn't a completely safe activity?
Here's the problem with your response: It's about the risk level. Riding a bike is riskier than walking down the stairs, even if there is a radiator at the bottom. Yes I'm aware that there is a significant number of elderly people who fall down stairs and are injured. It's simply rational to take precautions when certain levels of risk are met. Given that people have differing opinions on when that is met, it's natural to expect that people have different opinions on when helmets are needed. Now, as to whether or not government has to mandate it is a completely different story.
OK, so why wouldn't any home user choose a free LibreOffice download over a $100/year msoffice subscription tax?
Because when they go to the store, they don't see LibreOffice. Yes, many people still go to stores.
The question is simple, why should I buy a Windows phone? What does it give me that I cannot get from Android or Apple? After all, if there is no big reason to choose Windows phone, then I would lean towards one with a broader base of apps. Once they're able to get a compelling mainstream reason why to move to Windows phone, they need to market it. Right now they think having a unified experience between desktop and phone is that killer feature. We'll see if they're right.
As with most (all?) engineered wood products - what about when it gets wet?
So it's not really bulletproof against a watergun?
