It was either really clever or really dumb of him to release that video against a green screen. This is my favourite:



Not so much for the chroma keying but the audio work is good and he's made it fit nicely.

Microsoft will let you do it on launch day. I daresay it'll be as simple as downloading an ISO and upgrading.

They really want everyone on windows 10...

Be Like patching daoc on launch day lol

 

[Syri]

How do I do that?

At some point in the next few days, you should get a windows icon appearing in the system tray, near the clock. Click it, and it will bring up a screen to pre-register for windows 10. It asks for an email address, but you can skip that and just get the upgrade when it's out if you prefer not to give your email address to microsoft.

Fucking hell. 467 people killed by cops this year in the US. So far.

That is possibly the greatest thing I have ever seen.

Only. Especially if you take a closer look at some of the stories; "hostage at gunpoint", "Came at officer with knife", "Opened fire" etc.

It's not a clear cut "omg police killing people for funsies because they triggerhappy!" case and in a country that size it is indeed only 467.

Bet you nothing like 467 people have been killed by cops this year in the whole of Europe. A much larger population.

I've been expecting something like this. The idea occurred to me about a year ago but it had already been patented. Not that I could have done anything about it with my l337 engineering skilz

Nice tech, love the webby too.

Find some statistics on that and we can talk that point, doesn't mean my point was invalid.

 

[DaGaffer]

I can't find overall figures for the EU, but for comparison, overall police shootings in 2014 in Germany, 1. In the UK, zero. In France, 3. So yeah, your point is pretty invalid.

 

[Moriath]

And the french ones probably those terrorists from charlie.

I have relatives that are in the usa and they keep pointing out the cops have gone mad.

It would be if my point was at all about overall shootings compared to the EU

Maybe you need to read it again.

Not really. Violent crime exists in most countries, but if you compare and contrast culture A, everyone is armed to the teeth so the outcome of confrontations often results in death by firearm, with culture B, hardly anyone is armed to the teeth so far fewer people get killed while resisting arrest. 467 people killed in six months is a massive number of deaths caused by an absurd fixation about guns. Its not racism or poverty or anything else, those things exist elsewhere, its guns.

 

[Ormorof]

Im fairly certain there are plenty of "coming at officer with knife" incidents throughout europe that do not lead to shootings

 

[Moriath]

Cops in america have their first thought of defence fire the gun. Imo

 

[old.Tohtori]

Now this is a reply to what i was actually saying and yes, there are, but there's plenty in the states too.

We'd need to see statistics of not only european killings, but also compare to crimerate, violent crimrate, weapons used etc and so on.

Just going "omg they killed this many!" is just a sensationalist headline, while there may be a grain of truth in there that the US as a whole is more violent.

If you need a simpler point of the original post; it's not that simple.

Its exactly that simple. You don't have to know anything about the underlying reasons to be shocked by the fact that the cops are killing a Jumbo Jet's worth of people every six months. You know the European figures are a tiny fraction of that number, for the simple reason you don't see news stories about cops offing people several times a day in Europe. After all, there are really only two conclusions that can be drawn from that kind of number; 1. American cops have to kill loads of people because their society is inherently more violent than ours, so its just self-defence, or 2. America isn't inherently more violent than Europe, but the cops are out of control lunatics. (Clue, its mostly 1, but not entirely).

If a kid came up to you with a knife, why wouldn't you use your years of firearms experience/training to shoot him somewhere which it'll disable them, rather than fucking kill them?

Police kill black people disproportionately, they don't care, one less criminal off their book.

I don't get it.

I think it has a lot to do with what the police expect from criminals

In europe if a guy has a knife the police are unlikely to assume he has a gun and in the vast majorit they wont so it is a shock when the police are involved in a shoot out with a criminal

In many parts of the US the police have to assume the criminal has a gun because guns are freaking everywhere, they are trained to shoot to kill because they cant pull out a gun and shoot back if they are dead

Phew. Just finished a course in Business Communication. Just needed it for a continued studies, so w/o touching any kind of study material or book, and basically winging it on any oral or written presentation i received a C. She said i had a well structured and varied business language, hah. Yeah right. Anything i wrote on the subject was drivel.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Quite. Never disputed that, no matter how those two try to twist what i said.

But as per usual saying "it's not a clear cut matter and some situations warrant deadly force" means "no it's not that bad, US is no different from europe"

If a kid came up to you with a knife, why wouldn't you use your years of firearms experience/training to shoot him somewhere which it'll disable them, rather than fucking kill them?

Did you know that shooting someone to disable them might kill them? Shocking isn't it.

Or that some people might die from being tazed, while in most cases it's a non-lethal subdue method.
