Longer video of the head-on wreck from the funny picture thread

You'd actually be amazed at how well a yaris will hold up in an accident. My wife's 2 door yaris was pancaked between a ford econo-van going 35-40mph and the grand cherokee she was behind at the stop light (she was stopped at the time, van driver didn't even hit the brakes). The trunk and...

Help!!! My dog has fallen and she can't get up!

Hope your dog is ok, and it was just a random occurrence. I love dogs, and will want to get one as soon as I'm in a situation where I won't be leaving it alone at the apartment all day while I'm at work, but at the same time I dread the day when a pet of mine is in a situation where it's in...

Slipknot bassist found dead

Arguably Gray would be number 3, first 2 being Peter Steele and Dio. In any case, sucks to see another member of a band that I like die. Wonder how slipknot will respond to this.

Anyone else find speakers incredible?

I'd say that this is the greatest enemy of audio quality in modern music. One of my favorite albums to listen to is Jethro Tull's "Songs from the wood", because not only is the music itself good, but the mix is one of the best I've heard. A balanced sound an actual dynamics make for a quick...

Man leaves wife AFTER winning the lottery

The video indicates that he has been avoiding being served, does anybody know if you are responsible for failure to appear if you're never officially served? I'm guessing that as long as this guy isn't ever actually served notice to show up in court this woman is out of luck.

High DPI mice not as useless as most say?

While I don't have a high DPI mouse with adjustable sensitivity my thinking has been along the same lines as yours. The best use I've heard of for these adjustable mice is sniping in an FPS, fast motion at max DPI so you can turn around quickly if you need to, then bump the sensitivity down...

Man wins 166 million dollars at slots. Casino says not so fast....

Further info on this topic There are multiple companies that test slot machines before they can be certified for use in any US gambling jurisdictions. These companies have nothing to do with the coding or design of slot machine hardware or software (all slot machines in the US are software...

Norton ad: Dokken vs. Chicken ??

I was pretty amused at molly's excitement about the dokken chicken ads. I actually like them, at least it's a memorable ad, though it does need video to really work, and the endings are the best part IMO.

CCW Scores Again: Detroit roadrage ends with gunshot to the chest

Ok, that is a bit more of a gray area, and not the black/white situation I had assumed after reading your post. Arguably B should have called the police once A stopped on the side of the road. Unfortunately while B could have seen the situation as threatening, and it probably was, I'm guessing...

CCW Scores Again: Detroit roadrage ends with gunshot to the chest

Why would revocation of a CCW if a weapon is revealed before it's use is valid not make sense? IMO a firearm should only be revealed when it's clear that the individual it will be pointed at poses a significant threat to yourself or somebody else, such as with an assault or threat with a weapon...

SCOTUS to hear case on local gun bans

How would Incorporation conflict with the 10th? It says "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.", and since the 2nd is part of the Constitution, I would take that to mean...

Is wattage comparable between electrical devices?

I always wondered what the electrical company would do if you somehow threw a large capacitor into your home circuit and dropped the power factor to something like .2

Sniper shoots gun from hand...

Their first test shooting a Vietnam era sniper rifle (Same one in the "myth") at a modern scope with standard ammo did conclude that it couldn't have happened. The Retest, using the same sniper rifle, a scope of the type that would have been used by the enemy sniper (Far fewer lenses) and armor...
