As grinter mentioned, there seems to be more reliable methods of identification than the 3 coloured LED solution.

The nerd within is pulling his hair off and screaming: "Where's the bloody explanation on why colour coded light is the best solution for this problem?"... This video is far from nerd worthy.

Regardless of whether this is real or not. I think the people filming are probably douche bags who refuse to put their camera down regardless of what's happening like in that horrible movie Clover field. I haven't experienced surviving a plan crash, but I sure do hope that if that does happen, peopele's priority would be to do something about the injured, and not filming their ugly mugs.

C'mon NASA, 1080p, full screen!

A perfect landing using radically new technology, and you are complaining about the resolution!? Jeez, no pleasing some people...

NASA/Space/Mars program is intensely connected to public opinion. Better images, higher resolution etc.... more support more money. NASA should drop some scientific equipment and get some higher resolution images (that sir is what we call looking at the long-term game). Why do you think they release these images?

Oh, ok, lets drop the science to allow higher resolution. Stfu you idiot.


Oh, ok, come out from beneath the bridge and show us who you really are... OMG! It's Mr obvious troll! And I just fed him! NOOOOOOO!

1080p? Pffft, why stop there, let's get a IMAX 3D camera on board . Mars landing on giant screen ftw!!!

Every day, Federal scientists are looking for new ways to kill bugs.

Why you should learn to love the metric system.


After reading that link, I think he raised a few good points such as nautical miles, and chopping wood but I still don't see that much advantage of imperial over metric. By example:

Fahrenheit degrees are a 0-100 scale of normal temperature: 0° is quite cold, 100° is quite hot.

Celcius 0° is water freezing and 100° is water boiling at 1 atmosphere, isn't that more intuitive than quite cold and quite hot? You can even use water to measure temperature.

Traditional units naturally express an estimation's margin of error.
Because there are units for every scale, my choice of units expresses my confidence in an estimate. Telling you my couch is about 10 ft. 6 in. wide expresses more confidence than saying it is about 10 ft. wide. Because metric units differ by such great amounts, there is often no way to do this. I must say my couch is about 3 meters or 300cm wide. The former implies my margin of error is 1 meter, and the latter that it's 1cm. In reality, I must depend on the roundness of 300 to imply that my margin of error is 10cm.

Err, what about saying it's about 3.3 meters? You can be as vague or precise as you want with metric. How is it intuitive if you can't express the measurement with fraction?

The steps between units are often small and intuitive.... ...A few feet is a yard. A few yards is a rod. A few rods is a chain. 10 chains is a furlong. 8 furlongs is a mile.

What? How is that intuitive? How do you trust measures when you can say a few something is a another thing? How many is a few?

To me, most arguments are about "Imperial is good because I'm familiar with the notions.", which can apply to any deprecated local standard and shouldn't be used as proof of being intuitive.

FYI, I grew up in China that uses another local system which nobody else use. I never liked it even though it mostly uses the power of 10 like the metric system. It's just too arbitrary of a scale to be any use other than understanding what old people is trying to say.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the information mate .

Cool as it is, the title of this video is an over statement. Not all snake venoms does that. My understanding of the subject is that by example hemotoxin produced by vipers destroys red blood cells which prevents blood clotting.


You're half right: not all venoms are coagulants. You're also right that vipers have hemotoxic venom.

But vipers and their hemotoxic venom are exactly the ones that often have this coagulant effect. Venom can be hemotoxic and still be either coagulant or anticoagulant. Neither is necessarily implied.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_venom#Some_effects

There's lots of non-venomous snakes that have anticoagulants, too. The bites aren't especially bad or painful, they just bleed like hell.

I blame the Stone Cutters for that.

Water? You're doing it wrong! Kill it with fire!

Now I know... and knowing is half the battle.

DAMN nature! You SCARY!

Both of the above comments don't make any sense to me. Anyways i love this movie. Good Post.


The 3 objects mentioned all have holes, therefore holy.

Fake? My logic is: other than to film the "epic" recovery skill, why else would you put a butt cam on a bike?

Why don't the cops just drive close to him and use EMP power up? Newbs.

Don't cop cars in Australia come with banana peels?


That's a GREAT idea! Next time the police should just ask all the civilians to throw out their banana peels, turtles or squid instead of forming a road block.
