| Colorado man cited for 'killing' uncooperative computer with handgun |
| 2015-04-23 |
| [Rooters] - Police in Colorado have cited a 37-year-old man for carrying his computer into an alley then shooting it eight times with a handgun after what authorities said had been a long battle with the uncooperative machine. Lucas Hinch was cited for discharging a firearm within city limits after officers responded to a "shots fired" call early on Monday evening, the Colorado Springs Police Department said in a statement. "Investigation revealed a resident was fed up with fighting his computer for the last several months," said the statement, entitled "Man Kills His Computer." "He took the computer into the back alley and fired eight shots into the computer with a handgun, effectively disabling it," it added. The Colorado Springs Gazette newspaper cited police as saying Hinch was good-natured about the citation, and that he told officers he had not realized he was breaking the law. A judge will decide what penalty the citation carries. |

| #10 I've thought about it several times. Windows 8 frustrates me--definitely not the new and improved version of Windows 7. Scammers are frustrating too--those who have a popup that say "your computer is at risk." And we can make the risk go away if you just click on our site. Nigerian scammers piss one off too. |

| #2 yep, the bigger the caliber the better. Personally, in my battles with technology, a 12-GA shotgun is much more satisfying than punching holes in a laptop with a pistol. |
