Nope. If the bullet had enough kinetic energy to knock down the suspect, the gun would have enough kinetic energy to knock down the shooter. Equal and opposite reaction. Conservation of momentum.
I haven't done the specific thing he's suggesting, but I've had PVR recordings that were out of sync. I just used one of mencoder's 27 million options and used trial and error to get the right input value.
The transparent plastic type I buy won't fit - the contacts stand up until you crimp them. It's the pressing down that pushes the spikes into the wires.
Hate to break this to you, but in the past, people were at liberty to not upgrade to Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP, Vista, 7 or 8 - just like they do now.
True, but if they stop providing security updates you'd be a fool to stay put.
I was happy with XP, but thought an unpatched OS was an accident waiting to happen. I see nothing better about 7, a fair bit that's worse, and it took a lot of fiddling with drivers. In fact on some of my machines I have no sound and wifi with it.
There'll be localised versions of the software, and the one for Belgium will have those activated by default.

How To Fix Twitter

"When I open Twitter during a major debate in the U.S., or when a bomb has exploded in Bangkok, there should be a huge f@$%&#g banner at the top that says 'follow this breaking event.'
You mention two things, and then use a singular "this". Which one? There's always something happening somewhere.
As to geolocation, which someone mentioned elsewhere, nope. The thing nearest to me isn't necessarily the most interesting.
Well if they did it wouldn't be a problem, because they'd immediately embrace western liberal values rather than carry on with the same behaviour that turned the shit-holes they're fleeing from into shit-holes in the first place.
Helicopters can hide behind a house, because they can land in the garden. Modern ones only have to show the top of the rotor to target enemies, while remaining mostly out of sight.
Without any possibility to let them pass? My arse.
Or perhaps you interpreted it as "any possibility to let them pass other than by pulling over to the kerb[1], stopping and undoing my toe clips, which is SO UNFAIR, WAAAGH".
[1] or curb. These days I forget who spells it which way.

I spot an inconsistency in your argument.

Perhaps you should have read the next bit of sirwired's post. I'll repeat it here:
"(Or a liberal arts major paid like a minimum-wage drone.)"
He's right, you're wrong. Draw a Venn diagram if it helps.
He could equally be stupid.
It was certainly on university courses 20 years ago, because I knew someone who took it.
Try the word "much".
It's shorter by several orders of magnitude, quadratically easier to type, and as a bonus it's directly proportional to having the right meaning.
That works until you need them.
I'm guessing one firm did it, and now they all want one. Give it a month, it'll be musicians.
Ooh, that was a cutting comment. You really stuck it to him!
Area man pretends to give a shit.

For $9,000 I'll sell you 40 bottle caps and two - not just one - rolls of duct tape.
This. I've never seen anything where it wasn't recessed like that.
Point 5? No it doesn't.
How many tablets, cheap or otherwise, have that?
systemd has all three, plus IBM PE.

Lucky somebody didn't mix up the units, or it would have only been 3 inches deep.

Indeed you do. Firstly your writing style is awful. Secondly your reply is only tenuously connected with what I wrote.
P.S. What conflict were you a refugee from? Is it over? Why haven't you gone back, then?
Well if they did it wouldn't be a problem, because they'd immediately embrace western liberal values rather than carry on with the same behaviour that turned the shit-holes they're fleeing from into shit-holes in the first place.
It's a slashdot record! It's blatantly wrong, within the first two words of the title .
I'm confused. The rest of your post seemed to imply you approved of him.
Well duh, it stands to reason you can't ride a bike and drive a car at the same time.
I wouldn't put it past some people to try, mind.

The ragheads haven't got Prince Harry yet.
