Actually buletts lose their termnal velocity and impact power when they enter water. So when you see movies where people are shooting guns in the river or lake and actually hitting someone under water is bull... You can not kill anyone under water unless that person is on the surface of the water.

Edit:

I see warwagon was faster than me

True, also saw this. if you are deeper than 1.5m in the water, the bullet doesn't have the speed to mortally kill someone. It looses almost all its energy up to that depth.

Great ones!

I had a pdf titled "Computers as depicted in the movies".
Can't find the dang thing... Probably deleted.

• Word processors never display a cursor.
  
• You never have to use the space-bar when typing long sentences.
  
• All monitors display inch-high letters.
  
• High-tech computers, such as those used by NASA, the CIA, or some such governmental institution, will have easy to understand graphical interfaces. Those that don't, have incredibly powerful text-based command shells that can correctly understand and execute commands typed in plain English.
  
• Corollary: you can gain access to any information you want by simply typing "ACCESS ALL OF THE SECRET FILES" on any keyboard.
  
• Likewise, you can infect a computer with a destructive virus by simply typing "UPLOAD VIRUS" (see Fortress).
  
• All computers are connected. You can access the information on the villain's desktop computer, even if it's turned off.
  
• Powerful computers beep whenever you press a key or whenever the screen changes. Some computers also slow down the output on the screen so that it doesn't go faster than you can read. The *really* advanced ones also emulate the sound of a dot-matrix printer. [See The Hunt For Red October or Alien]
  
• All computer panels have thousands of volts and flash pots just underneath the surface. Malfunctions are indicated by a bright flash, a puff of smoke, a shower of sparks, and an explosion that forces you backwards.
  
• People typing away on a computer will turn it off without saving the data. [See the opening credits for The Hunt For Red October]
  
• A hacker can get into the most sensitive computer in the world before intermission and guess the secret password in two tries.
  
• Any PERMISSION DENIED has an OVERRIDE function (see Demolition Man and countless others).
  
• Complex calculations and loading of huge amounts of data will be accomplished in under three seconds. Movie modems usually appear to transmit data at the speed of two gigabytes per second.
  
• When the power plant/missile site/whatever overheats, all the control panels will explode, as will the entire building.
  
• If a disk has got encrypted files, you are automatically asked for a password when you try to access it.
  
• No matter what kind of computer disk it is, it'll be readable by any system you put it into. All application software is usable by all computer platforms.
  
• The more high-tech the equipment, the more buttons it has (Aliens). However, everyone must have been highly trained, because the buttons aren't labelled.
  
• Most computers, no matter how small, have reality-defying three- dimensional,active animation, photo-realistic graphics capability.
  
• Laptops, for some strange reason, always seem to have amazing real-time video phone capabilities and the performance of a CRAY Supercomputer.
  
• Whenever a character looks at a VDU, the image is so bright that it projects itself onto his/her face (see Alien, 2001, [Jurassic Park]).

*The more a man and a woman hate each other, the more likely they will fall in love.

I actually dated a girl for a while after her and my friend broke-up.* We hated each other. One night at his house , she dipped her fingers in a bowl of nacho cheese and rubbed it in my face and some got into my eyes. It was frickin jalapeno cheese and it burned. I stood there for a second, kinda smiled and tried my best to keep my eyes from watering, took my hand and scooped the rest of the cheese into my hand... grinned, and not-so-softly covered her whole face in cheese. Then took my hand and started going lower, smearing cheese all over her neck and chest. She just stood there in amazement with mouth open for a bit then ran off crying. My friend/her BF was mad until everyone that saw what happened started blaming her for the indecent.

Years go by and she finds me on MySpace, we talk... then it gets good. I mean really, really good. Point being, if you and a girl hate one another and then start dating, the sex will be amazing.

*It was years after my friend and her broke up that we started talking.

These are funny but really. Its acting. If a car just turned over and not exploded...ummm thats boring. I want explosions. Movies are an exaggeration of life no matter how "real" them seem. So all this is moot.

Regarding hacking stuff...its boring. I want to see wild and cool interfaces on screen. Not just some fat looser pecking away at a black and green screen.

Don't forget USB really does stand for UNIVERSAL serial bus. They use it in Stargate (and probably others) to connect to alien ships all the time, and what's more, windows supports the ships natively, and installs the drivers automatically, even changing the display to include a map of the ship. How handy!

It doesn't matter how many people you fight at once, they will always come at you one at a time while the rest dance around in a threatening manner...

Heh heh..
