[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;38507210]what the fuck I could put a nail in my desk and achieve the same thing[/QUOTE] that's actually what I did
[QUOTE=Ehmmett;38507075]I ping test 127.0.0.1 i always get the best results[/QUOTE] Pro-tip: ping ::1 instead, and simultaneously test your IPv6 connectivity. Also, easier to type
So I was browsing /r/techsupportgore, and I found this: [url]http://lilysussman.wordpress.com/2009/11/30/im-sorry-but-we-blew-up-your-laptop-welcome-to-israel/[/url] [thumb]http://lilysussman.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/p1070617.jpg?w=1024&h=768[/thumb] [thumb]http://lilysussman.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/p1070618.jpg?w=1024&h=768[/thumb] Just...what the fuck.

rednecks
That looks like a .50 caliber to me.
[QUOTE=joshjet;38507678]Those holes are pretty large. I wonder what caliber rounds the Israeli security forces were using.[/QUOTE] .50BMG is pretty standard for explosives disposal work. Which would explain the size of the holes.
knowing the IDF, it's probably either .44 Magnum or .45 ACP [editline]18th November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=gman003-main;38507813].50BMG is pretty standard for explosives disposal work. Which would explain the size of the holes.[/QUOTE] no it's not, that's stupid

It's used by some big game hunters as a backup weapon, and by Hollywood. That's about it. .45 ACP is (or at least was) in common use, but it makes no sense for setting off explosives. It's a pistol round - you would blow yourself up as well. And it's not that good at penetrating tough materials - it was originally designed before body armor was common.

[editline]18th November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=gman003-main;38507879] it was originally designed before body armor was common.[/QUOTE] so was .50 BMG but that means literally nothing
would a bullet really make a decent (plastic explosive) bomb explode? I thought you needed electricity for that.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;38507886].44 magnum is one of the rounds in standard issue by the IDF. we're not talking about the US military.[/QUOTE] The IDF, to my knowledge, does not use any .44 caliber weapons (and some quick googling seems to back me up on this). You may be confusing them with the IMI, which produces pistols in .44 Magnum, which are not used by any military force I know of. [QUOTE=ButtsexV3;38507886]so was .50 BMG but that means literally nothing[/QUOTE] On the contrary, .50 BMG was designed as an anti-tank round. It was successfully adapted into an anti-aircraft round, and continues to be effective as an anti-vehicle round. It may not have been designed to pierce personal body armor, but it's more than capable of doing so simply because it was engineered to pierce far stronger armor. .45 ACP, on the other hand, was designed as an anti-personnel round from the beginning (one of the odder design requirements was that it had to be able to put down a wounded horse, to be used by the cavalry - that alone should show the kind of war it was designed for).

The car subforum is pretty high on the list of "Least shitty subforums on FP". The high barrier to entry (e.g. being old enough to get a licence and actually being able to afford a car) seems like it weeds out a lot of idiots.
ehh every subforum has it's good threads, but the nicest one by far (imo) is Photography.
why did garry remove the pornography subforum, it was the best subforum by far [editline]19th November 2012[/editline] [img]http://puu.sh/1rSjE[/img] looks legit
