A Colorado man was given a ticket by police this week for shooting his balky computer eight times and "killing" it. Police say Lucas Hinch, 37, had become "fed up with fighting his computer for the last several months," so he took it outside and repeatedly blasted it with a handgun. Hinch said he didn't realize he was breaking the law, but has no regrets. "It was glorious," he said.
