I don't know if it's the film you're thinking of, but Strange Days used the concept of experience playback quite a bit IIRC. It's IMDB page can be found here: http://imdb.com/title/tt0114558/

The few descriptions of the incident that I've read said that the student went limp (passive resistive) when the officers tried to use physical force to remove him; Thus the officers repeatedly telling him to "stand up" between tasings as seen in the video. The student's actions were not violent, the officers simply refused to carry him out as they were supposed to and instead used a taser to attempt to gain compliance. As I see it, one or two taser hits likely would have been enough to make the student perfectly willing to leave, but the student's unwillingness or inability to stand up was in defiance of the officer's will, so the beating continued.

Last I checked, that's what the reserve price is for. Shill bidding is the seller's way of setting a reserve price while hiding that fact from the bidders. It's deceptive at best. Ebay is an AUCTION SITE, not a retail marketplace. If a seller isn't willing to sell for the market value, he needs to find a different sales format.
No. Two-stroke gasoline engines use the slightly pressurized fresh air/fuel mixture to force the previous combustion event's exhaust out of the cylinder. Some mixing of the fuel and exhaust is bound to occur, potentially resulting in unburned fuel escaping in the exhaust flow. In a diesel engine, air and fuel aren't mixed until the actual combustion event, so there's no chance (assuming the engine is tuned properly) of fuel escaping in the exhaust.
It sounds impressive as a selling point but as I figure it, the impact speed of an object dropped from a second story window is roughly 18 mph (ignoring aerodynamic drag). Perhaps the average reader around here has a pretty weak throw, but at age 12 I could lob a baseball (notably heavier than a console controller) at 35 mph. I'm sure even a gamecube controller is no match for a pissed off gamer. Maybe they should start filling these things with epoxy after assembly, though I imagine that wouldn't save the analog sticks and such. That also makes me wonder how hard a hit the accelerometers can take before suffering damage.

I'm pretty sure you see this effect in the second video, about 1:15 in. The bots are pulling the object toward the target but start to curve off course and start traveling on a path perpendicular to the one they should be following.

Heh. All the images of North America are mysteriously omitted.
