One classic gun fu move consists of reloading two pistols simultaneously by releasing the empty magazines, pointing the guns to the ground, dropping two fresh magazines out of one's jacket sleeves, or strapped to one's legs, into the guns, and then carrying on shooting. In Equilibrium (2002) the law enforcement responsible for handling "Sense Crime" are trained in gun kata to gain an advantage in their raids on armed opponents. In the film Bulletproof Monk (2003), The Monk With No Name (portrayed by Chow Yun-fat) empties two pistols, ejects the magazines and spins to kick the empty magazines at his assailants. The style is also featured (albeit in a small way and with the assistance of gadgets) in the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider movies. In Wanted (2008), assassins belonging to The Fraternity possess the skill of "bending" bullets around obstacles; in a gunfight early in the film, one assassin knocks another bullet out of the air with his own round. In X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), Agent Zero (Daniel Henney) reloads his handguns by throwing them into the air and catching them with the magazines he's holding in his hands.

In the 2010 film Kick-rear end, the character Hit Girl, played by Chloë Grace Moretz, frequently uses gun fu. In the 2012 film Django Unchained, the climactic shootout in Candieland is inspired by John Woo, replicating scenes from The Killer shot-by-shot. The 2013 G.I. Joe: Retaliation also featured gun fu in the climactic fight between Roadblock and Firefly. Gun fu is also heavily featured in the John Wick franchise, as well as the 2015 film Kingsman: The Secret Service.

In the 2017 CGI film Resident Evil: Vendetta, Chris Redfield and Glenn Arias engaged in a gun fu fighting sequence.

The melvin is a variant where the victim's underwear is pulled up from the front, to cause injury, or, at least, severe pain to the victim's genitals.[4] The female variant is sometimes called a minerva.

Heracles then uproots several trees and builds a funeral pyre on Mount Oeta, which Poeas, father of Philoctetes, lights.

No one but Heracles' friend Philoctetes (Poeas in some versions) would light his funeral pyre (in an alternative version, it is Iolaus who lights the pyre).

The key selling point of these devices was that consumers had no way of knowing whether the device they were buying was a genuine device as it claimed to be, or some "win"-forgery engineered by Microsoft Corporation. Even well-known hardware vendors such as US Robotics, Creative Labs, and Zoltrix were involved in the scam.

Very often, even the instruction manual had only a footnote in the Troubleshooting section about how the user should seriously consider switching to Microsoft Windows, how "superior" it was compared to other operating systems, how the device did not function allegedly because their existing operating system was deficient, and so on.

The prevalence of such hardware is mostly due to Microsoft manipulating and/or blackmailing many hardware vendors into releasing devices that only worked using a proprietary, undocumented hardware interface whose only implementation was as a device driver only available for Microsoft Windows. This was one of Microsoft Corporation's early attempts at eliminating competing operating systems such as Linux and FreeBSD when these started to be regarded as viable, usable and functional alternatives to Windows for PC compatible computers.

not worthless in that it is pretty rare to find large old wikipedia articles which are not only rambling and citation-less, but rather obviously incorrect in every particular.

softmodems were an obvious win for modem makers for the simple reason that they were cheap, and windows was at the time so dominant that microsoft was throwing money at apple in an effort to appear to have competition. reading it i do recall that this was sort of geek "common knowledge" at the time though, that the only reason linux wasn't taking over was a bunch of really shady behind the scenes dealings.

it's not even that old, looking at the history it was fairly accurate and objective (albeit still citation-less) up until august 6th of this year when one extremely mad person rewrote chunks of it and added all the anti-microsoft stuff. not sure why the nerds didn't immediately jump in and revert it at the time

Tider skal komme,
tider skal henrulle,
slægt skal følge slægters gang



quote:

The video stars Denis Lavant as a man wearing a heavy parka and walking along the middle of the road in a busy car tunnel. He appears to be out of his mind, mumbling and shouting incoherences, only occasionally including intelligible words such as "Cristo", "Allahu Akbar", and "sinner!" Some of the cars honk at him and swerve out of his way. All of a sudden a car hits him from the side, and he is left on the ground. The car, a Saab 900, continues its course without stopping or slowing down. After a while, the man stands up and starts walking again as if nothing had happened. Then another car hits him; this time the hit occurs straight on and sends him flying a couple of feet. A passing motorist watches with contempt as the man rolls in the street. The man gets up again. A car swerves by and slows down alongside the man, occupied by three young men played by British actor Craig Kelly as the vehicle's driver and UNKLE's James Lavelle and Richard File as passengers. The driver repeatedly inquires as to the man's destination, who for his part seems oblivious to their presence and continues along his way blurting, "Saint Christopher"; the driver soon tires of this and speeds off whilst calling out, "Nice coat, man!" Another car hits the man, and he gets up almost instantly. The madness which this man is apparently suffering from gets more acute as he grabs his face and moves erratically. More accidents occur, some cars honk, some cars swerve out of the way — but none stop.

The man removes his parka and throws it on the ground. He is shirtless underneath, and we see his chest covered with bruises and cuts. After the ritornello, leaving just a piano and drums playing, the man stops as well. He smiles and opens his arms in a crucifix-like position. A Vauxhall Cavalier MK2 is coming his way and makes no intention of stopping. The car hits the man, but this time he stands unmoved, and the car is destroyed upon impact.

2 of the cars have brands mentioned but why not the unkle car??

Jackyl took the stage early on Friday. Lead singer, Jesse James Dupree, took the stage with a bottle of whiskey and poured alcohol onto the crowd. He then started smoking marijuana and on a close up he shotgunned the joint into the camera with copious amounts of smoke filling the screens and the stage. At this point the crowd roared and in within a few minutes the entire crowd was drinking and partying hard. The lead singer then lit a stool on fire in the center of the stage and started using a chain saw to cut it up. He also pulled out a rifle and started shooting it in the air but cut his hand or finger, which started bleeding heavily and as he wiped his forehead a streak of blood was left across his head. At this point security dragged him off the stage. Jackyl turned in one of the most acclaimed performances at the festival,
