You know I've heard this from people before, and it always amazes me that they don't get it. All you had to do, is do a Google search on "car analogies", there are plenty of articles about the experimentation using cars as a viable means of analogy. Of course if you need a citation, get bent. As for bits of car debris, hitting the motorway at speeds of up to 60 miles per second (see youtube), they ablate, slow down, vaporize. They absolutely do become plasma and some of the larger pieces (doors) explode with kiloton force. Read about the early nuclear test ban problems involving accidental false positives, caused by small nuclear sized explosions coming from cars with sufficient mass and momentum to cause fusion explosions. That and a quick look at the fireballs created by Russian cars should put to rest and idea that cars or trucks can't cause a fusion reaction. The issue is simply one of velocity and momentum. A steel car going 20 miles per second has both. Please be so good as the do the physics before making a knee-jerk assumption. Using E=1/2MV^2, I come up with a net kinetic energy of 14 million joules focused on a circular region less than an Library of Congress across. The entire collision takes place in less than a microsecond, and in that time the entire mass of the car is rendered into ionized plasma, as is a significant amount of the surface material of the target. The reason for raising incredible rare gases to hundreds of millions of degrees is to create an atomic velocity high enough to ensure that a signification number of collisions will occur in that rarefied motoway to sustain a car analogy, analogies can occur at a much lower temperature. The incredibly hot dense soup of cars on the motorway are moving with incredible momentum, the material at the point of impact is hotter than the surface of the sun, hotter than lightening, analogies will certainly occur. Maybe not a huge amount, but some, and it will certainly make a very big mess of the slashdot.

I tried looking for Falun Gong on Baidu and now I can't look for Jay Chow because the website has blocked me.

What's the real-life equivalent of the Crowbar from halflife? I always wanted one
Join the Navy they said..
Use a Diva cup.
It's a "nice thought" and all, but some countries like here in New Zealand have to pay for data
They got each organisation to submit one error, ranked them, then dropped the last 5 (or maybe there were 5 double-ups)
Where did you dig up that old fossil?
When those puffer fish front up the money to clean up their own damn mines. That's when.
That's it. I'm moving the trailor over state lines to the north.

US Army in a foreign country .. yep sounds like a war / invasion and quite reciprocal to me.
Um. This is kind of awkward to tell you. You don't usually wear clothes while having sex.

In Soviet Russia Government Cybers You ..wait that's a different kind of cybering
Might I suggest the IRS as the first govt IP addresses to get added
It can't have ended badly or there wouldn't have been a sequal

Don't mod me a troll just because you disagree with me.
Was that the same people who said less than 30,000 Poles would move to the Uk, and 200,000 moved instead?

We've spent lots of hours designing and building a reclamation system so that we can collect the stuff, one MOUSE lungful at a time
How many Olympic-sized swimming pool is that?
