well, they first release the pressure like Battlewagon666 explains, and then puncture it, thus ensuring the victim isn't able to just repump his tires.

added bonus: the tire blowing up removed his shirt, thus allowing him to us it as a tourniquet. Very thoughtful of the tire :)

hahaha I totally see it now

I love this. Simply put, people who have no interest in driving themselves (usually the ones that drive the worst, aka hugging middle lane, holding up traffic flow, forgetting to use indicators) are just gonna put them in automatic, thus the streets will be filled with people able to drive(because they want to) and…

I think the beetle was also quit honest(not considering it's origins) but the car is honest in a way that it is just a simple machine designed to transport families from a to b in an efficient manner (and the aircooled engine is also honest(as in you cannot mistake the sound of it)

I whole heartedly agree (sorry, you were supposed to have the last statement but i hope that me agreeing isn't considered rude)

Here you go(just school killings)

Indeed, I agree hindsight 20/20 is easy. But you must agree, the amount of "rampages" committed in the USA is quite high in comparison with the rest of the world, so there must be identifiable reasons for this, thus I conclude that A: the availability of weapons in the usa and B: a the lack of a strong mental health…

don't get me wrong, now that he has done this I would have loved to switch the electric chair on, but it could have been prevented if we would have cured him. All I am saying is: you could ban weapons(i am not in favor of a weapon ban, although an assault weapon ban for civilians might be acceptable for me), but it is…

you do know, if you write that i am better of not watching it, I am gonna watch it, it's human nature. :) But regarding the video. He is a creepy, seriously fucked up kid. And seriously, if you wish to annihilate the human race, just beginning to shoot random people is not going to bring you very far... It's a good…

Indeed. This is a prime example of a cop not thinking before ticketing. I know a few cops and usually they decide more on a case by case basis. If somebody is in the middle of a move they will no ticket them, nor will they ticket contractors working there. Since they understand it is hard for contractors too carry…

well technically he was parking there while there wasn't a sign yet(since he installed it once parked) so unless parking laws are retroactive he should be able to win this. Imagine if you parked there in the morning, and you return back in the afternoon and there is a new sign and a bunch of tickets. You too would be…

yeah i have seen those too, but apparently neighbors do not like those because they make noise when it is windy, but taking into account the surrounding building types(aka residential, industrial or agricultural etc) there is a plea to be made for these "low tech"(not a water curtain with a projection) solutions that…

Well, I do not doubt that the city did everything possible to keep these trucks from hitting the bridge, but here in belgium city planners use two beams. One that is well mounted and stationary(like the one being used right in front of that bridge) and a I-beam that is hooked up with chains, which is able to swing.…

I must say, the lexus was not mine, and since I was driving it I wasn't too keen on going into the settings menu. Maybe you are right. What I never understood was why bmw stopped using the haptic feedback idrive control. My e60 had that, but a lot of problems with the idrive design, and the newer bmw have a way better…

I have used the lexus system, damn, a mouse is not a good idea in my opinion, you get some haptic feedback, but not enough to know what you are pointing at. Nor did I like the mercedes one. I did not have yet the displeasure of using the Jaguar system, but have seen the big "chrome" nob as the gear selector and was…

IMO a user needs to understand and use all basic functions without the need of instructions nor manuals. That is called a good GUI design. You need to be able to get in and use it, maybe not to it's fullest capacity, but the major functions need to work flawlessly without the need to follow a course on the subject.

That's a very nationalistic way of looking at things. Your "american" Boeing had parts made all over the world, as does Airbus. When can we finally stop thinking of nations and start thinking globally? Because in this example, if the were to be a design flaw in all Boeings, the whole fleet would be left stranded,…

is it just me or is most of the movie made up of the UK? So Charles de Gaulle (Paris), Schiphol (Amsterdam), Rome, Brussels, Tegel(Berlin) are not airports worth mentioning but gatwick is?

It's bullshit to let age determine if somebody can drive IMO. I know people of 75 that drive better then me(they are carefull, but don't hold up traffic, they drive perfectly) and people of 40 that should be banned from driving(texting, eating and just being bad drivers(I even met someone who wasn't sure about right…
