something like that bud. you bascially argued that paying cops was not a waste of time. i argued that you may as well jack off for road safety, because the only thing that has bought road deaths down (not the number of crashes) is vehicle safety standards.

Wow, tptb should be clamouring around you door wanting other pearls of wisdom such as this, you obvously do considerable in-depth studies to come to conclusions as you have above...

Ahhh, good old sarcasm, the last refuge of the imaginatively bankrupt.

before I enlightened the sewage with centripetal force right?

Actually, if you're separating sewage, a centrifuge is one way to do it, doing it with a centripet just sounds like an old dog or something. Anyway, it is probably easier to spread if its not too enlightened...

In 1989 a dude called Hei Hei was the last drunk idiot to cross the centreline on the Auckland Harbour Bridge and kill someone coming the other way. A short time later the central barrier arrived.

The central barrier has prevented who knows how many deaths. How does that fit in with your view that only thing that has bought road deaths down (not the number of crashes) is vehicle safety standards?

I'm fairly sure that a lot of road environment engineering interventions have played a large part too. Some have prevented crashes from happening, some have reduced the severity of those that happen.

What say you?

Got pulled over yesterday doing between 110/115kmh. License, ok. wof, ok. Reg ok. Told me to keep my fucking speed down and have a nice day. Must of had enough doughnuts And I had an ACAB shirt on too.

Object A.


although why not say that both vehicle A and B hit Object(s) C, and make object(s) C something like a powerpole,

and that means sweet FA, they could both be insurance writeoffs, and the occupants could all walk out, because vehicles A, B have the aforementioned safety features.

i still reckon that a vehicle with more (kinetic?) potential energy (going faster) will transfer more of it's energy into whatever it hits. whereas going slower, more of the energy will remain in the vehicle. i can't think of an analogy for this. hit your kid with a tennis racket or cricket bat and see which one they prefer. or something.[/color]


nono. it is actually "the police" that decided on this. they've got this thing called discretion. it just happens to be national policy (via the police, not TPTB - they say 100 = 101 you get fined)

1) Tennis racket/cricket bat have vastly different masses so not the best example. A better example would be to offer to hit them with a cricket bat swung slowly or at your best speed and see which they prefer. We could look at the formulae that cover the situation, but why muddy a good arguement?

2) I should have been more specific, I was trying to say the internal policy makers for the police such as "Superintendent Carey Griffiths, national road policing manager", or external policy makers such as the Transport Minister, rather than the government in general (TPTB), who make the laws. (law vs guidelines/'policy' as it were)

3) There is no three. Nothing to see here, please move on.

Hmmm, guess you haven't heard of the site's iSpy function then? Perhaps less of the personal background checks, more reading the kb user manual

Well said Bogan, a bit of creepy antics from Dave- there. He doesn't obviously know about having multiple monitors on a PC. It works well for me and means I can manage large documents between both and monitor internet activity on one at the same time.

Anyway, let's see what today brings.

Yup, one for work, one for kb, or lolcats, and I'm not sure which channel has the more intelligent presenters sometimes.

Same as yesterday probably...

Good one. I had 6 windows and 6 docs all going at once yesterday and got some great images of Western Australia off the satellite feed. Only approx 45 pages to go on this survey report.

I find Aquasnap good for tiling windows (gives 4 corners as options, or side/side top/bottom like windows default) and keeping one visible on top with transparency, didn't think I'd use the later function much but it comes in handy; all done with mouse gestures too which is nice. Worst thing for multi window I've found is MSword with big docs containing heaps of references, somehow it puts in about 5sec latency to any program calls using explorer; which is an absolute cunt if you need to use paint.net to change part of a figure.

I've got Winsplit Revolution, the MS Word one lasted about 10 minutes with me.

how many c*nts have driven into the thing?
there are DAILY occurrences of aucklanders driving into each other.

now, instead of crashing into someone else, they crash into concrete - still a crash, yeah one less vehicle involved but i didn't say the number of vehicles involved, did i?

-edit- sorry, a bit distracted and didn't answer the question, a) that cunt is going to kill himself by driving into the wall or something else. he will not be killing the family in the SUV coming the other way (unfortunately, why the fuck do you need an SUV in town?)
so okay, crashes that don't happen don't kill people, i would speculate that most (a majority of) people who die in crashes, it's their own fucking fault

get linux. workspaces win.

is that anything like morning wood?

Hey, enough! You'll spoil the rep of the cops as seen by KB'rs!

Dont get me wrong, some coppers are absolute pricks. Most of the ones I have dealt with(and there have been a few) have been pretty fucking decent really. When I was a kid, I thought all coppers were bastards, but I have grown up(just a little mind you) since then. The one yesterday was a good bugger.
