It's unlikely that it will hit someone, but it can, so you don't do it. Remember rule 4: know your target and what's beyond it. You don't pull the trigger unless you know where each projectile will come to rest.
What do you mean by "simulated" in this case? What makes it look that way? It just looks to me as if one of the rotors got knocked out.
You can be detained without being under arrest. When you get pulled over for a traffic stop, you aren't under arrest, but you are being detained.

If you agree to the EULA, then you can't get a refund for the Windows license that comes with the computer.
Nothing more than what might stop a German scholar from nailing 95 theses to a church door.

It says there are 27 students, three of whom opted out.
I'm surprised that "phag" is blocked but "fag" isn't.

When my iPhone 3G's screen broke, the bottom part of the LCD broke--just enough to cover the keyboard. I was abroad, so for the month until I got home, I learned to touch type on my iPhone.
