Well, Bill Maher is a moron. I guess some people find him humorous, like some people think seeing a dog get dragged by a truck is humorous. I think he's an idiot.

Please forgive my illiteracy, but I do not see how this opinion is relevant to the previous video, which you have full power to remove. Besides, "moron" defines as
idiot: a person of subnormal intelligence
(wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn)
Moron is a controversial term once used in psychology to denote a category of mental retardation.
(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moron_(psychology))
which I can not agree applies to this individual.

If you see enough clips of his tv show, you might agree. But for now, we'll just say that is my opinion. Moron now means someone that doesn't use normal judgement, for example, a tv show host, like Maher, just trying to get ratings.

Moron=jerk=jackass=someone that will do anything to get tv ratings

I think I would disagree on much if not most of what Maher says, and he also seem to me to be very much on a quest for ratings.

Maybe the reason I thought the above video was funny is that once I was french :smile:

Instead of throwing insults at him, why not actually try to refute what he's saying? And he doesn't do anything for ratings, he's just that kind of person; he's been like that for the nearly two decades he's been on television. Like when he made that 9/11 comment that got him fired, I doubt he did that for ratings...

That's from the Jackie Chan movie "Who Am I". It's like someone purposely put it in bad quality to make it look like it's actual security camera footage or something.

Crash test between a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu and a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air with both going 40 mph (64 km/h) and the vehicles collide offset, driver side to driver side. This is the same crash configuration represented by the Institute's 40 mph frontal offset barrier test, which is used to rate the frontal crash performance of new cars.

There was an interesting crash test between a brand new Renault Modus (small car) and a 90's Volvo (large car). Surprisingly the modus won.

They even included fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view in the Bel Air...:cool:.

Don't do this at home or on the streets or anywhere else for that matter - unless you're really good!

I like this video. My friend made it, he is an aspiring director. I play a short part in it also. It's a spoof on those old 1970's movie trailers for action movies. With corny lines and all.

I'm thinking the driver of the Malibu would fair better. I'm surprised how badly the passenger compartment of the Bel-Air is distorted considering how big it is (plus bouncing off all of those hard parts in the interior can't be too good even if the passenger compartment maintained its shape).

Note that neither car goes backward. The battle of momentum is a draw and the cars rotate around each other.

Here's some tests between mini/micro cars and mid-size cars. Even if they designed a stronger passenger compartment, it's tough to get around the fact that the driver that was once going 40 mph forward is suddenly going backward.

Micro/Mini crash tests

My favorite commercial:



Yeah, they take a little dramatic license there. The spacecraft and uniforms look more like they came from the art department than the engineering section and it obviously takes more than 30 seconds to maneuver a satellite out of the way of debris.

And, the JSpOC monitors objects in space - the satellites are actually controlled from various other places, but you have to take some liberties to compress that scenario into 30 seconds.

In fact, the real process usually takes a few weeks since you're usually avoiding dead debris affected only by natural forces and you want to incorporate the collision avoidance maneuvers into normal station keeping maneuvers to conserve fuel. But, the overall concept is accurate, even if not quite as exciting as the commercial.

They filimed the commercial at a real Air Force facility and used Air Force personnel instead of actors (but they did such a good job you probably can't tell they're not professional actors :smile:). One of the people I work with is young enough that she's actually worked with about half the people in the commercial.
