hmm... - drewhenson, on 10/12/2007, -6/+126you know, pictures don't move at all...
- steelmaverick, on 10/12/2007, -2/+98Thanks for the working mirror. At least SOMEONE was courteous enough to do it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+84Banning bullets would sure work... oh wait, no.
If bullets are illegal, only criminals will have bullets. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+65Sequence of a shotgun firing:

“Gun control? We need bullet control! I think every bullet should cost 5,000 dollars. Because if a bullet cost five thousand dollars, we wouldn't have any innocent bystanders .” - whatyousay, on 10/12/2007, -7/+59buried comment for misspelling the word "digg"
- 7sinz, on 10/12/2007, -9/+44Yeah, just like those dangerous cars. We should ban them, because they're the cause of those deadly car crashes you hear about on the news, not the irresponsible or incapable operators behind the wheel. We should also ban cameras because they're used to make child porn and computers because they're used to distribute it.
Banning guns isn't the answer to any problem. If you make it illegal to obtain and own a firearm in a legitimate manner, that just stops people who care about the law. People using firearms for violent crimes don't give two ***** about the laws anyhow, so why would they care if they're breaking the law to GET a gun? Banning guns will only boost the black/grey market. - T-DOT, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34"I love how people continue to digg the story while there is no working link"
The beauty of social bookmarking...people are digging it so it's saved on to their account so they can see it later. It's actually kind of smart. - Arkavus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+35It's actually Ballistics Gel. Simulates human flesh pretty well.
- rcran, on 10/12/2007, -9/+38As opposed to a fast motion picture of a bullet, in which it would have already left the frame.
- LaueOfficer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+29anyone get a mirror (of the site)?
- spudnic, on 10/12/2007, -5/+27Slow motion pictures are rubbish, sped up pictures are where it's at now.
I saw one at 160mph the other day, nearly took my eye out - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21Here's a whole gallery of high speed bullet photography:

Someone should create a service that lets you save comments or something they should call it scrapbook. I know I will begin scraping them into a pdf file and then one year from now I will submit them to digg as a text file.

After reading your inspiring comment I was so ready to create such a service. Then I realized http://bash.org/ is what you are looking for.
=p - acdcfanbill, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11the picture is so slow, it hasnt gotten to me from the server yet, this submitter sure wasn't lying!

"the majority of deaths/accidents in US are due to accidents, with weapons that are legally owned, mainly in the home, not due to drive-by-shootings, store hold-ups, etc."
The majority of firearm-related deaths in the US are intentional; that is, homicide or suicide. (~15k a year, each). Accidental death by firearm is comparatively rare, less than 1.5k a year.

- mthanded, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8how can a picture be slow motion? Thought a picture was more like no motion.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10I'd much rather see one of those classic slow-mo videos or still image of a bullet slamming into an apple.
Any apple would do, power book, mac pro, mac book, iPod. Whatever! - nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6@shinynew (#5904524) said: "Some one should make a site to only display digg frontpage things when the site is up."
I hope you're kidding! http://duggtrends.com/diggmirror.aspx - softwhere, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8@ultrahombre
I have a program like that I think it is called notepad.(textmate for those of us on macs:]) - tange1, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10@ arcooke 5
I agree that its annoying that duggmirror links don't work but we don't have to be rude when someone's trying to help. - idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Who is *****, and what of his is lame?

I think you need to use the reply button more often. - xciton, on 10/12/2007, -7/+11@myfanwy

You simplistic dolt! Don't spout off at the month without doing some thinking first. Banning cars would also have a big effect according to your reasoning... The majority of car deaths are due to accidents, legally owned, and not due to drive-by-hit-and-runs. Do you still think that banning a tool addresses the issue?
The answer to the problem with firearm accidents is training and knowledge. Don't ban the tool. - arcooke, on 10/12/2007, -17/+21Check you damn links before you post them..
That's really starting to get ***** annoying. Everyone wants to be the first to post a duggmirror so they just post it without looking. - rdoger6424, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4@[reply]
I apologize for the blatant uncaringness towards you by Sean42. Please forgive me. I'll give you a pony. - javascriptdude, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"A Federal .45 ACP HST bullet (P45HST2) emerging from, but still in, the 5" barrel of an S&W Model 4506, complete with gas being blown ahead of it. (Average muzzle velocity 900 fps, 414 ft-lbs of energy, and 21,000 psi.) Note the amount of infrared light that's being emitted around the bullet, and the little smoke plume above the ejection port. The action was caught using an invisible infrared trigger beam system (1,000,000th-second response time). Flash duration was 1-2,000,000th-second.
Note also the dramatic projectile deformation and expansion to approximately .90 caliber(!) in the 6-inch x 6-inch x 2-inch block of calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin. When Federal/ATK blurbs that "HST is engineered for 100% weight retention and impressive expansion," it's not just "press kit hyperbole." The 230-grain HST typically penetrates between 12¾ and 13½ inches in 10% gelatin. Most of the well-designed bullets of today will exhibit mature or near-mature expansion when fired through two-inches of gelatin." - linuxpenguin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Digg may not technically be a social bookmarking site, but it is built with some of the same concepts in mind. You digg articles you like, and then this brings them closer to the top and makes them easier for you to find again.
- cawpin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4@Benjamin2040 - Let me simplify it even more for you. You are the problem. Until I was 15 our guns were sitting in the closet and in my fathers dresser drawer. It isn't where the guns are or aren't. Teach your kids what they are capable of and you won't have a problem. "Gun people" are more afraid of firearms than people who don't have anything to do with them because we know what they can do.
- rompom7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'm sick of people bitching about people posting duggmirror links. Firstly, duggmirror will eventually grab it. And secondly, does it really hurt? I mean someone is always going to post a link to duggmirror even when it doesn't work. Get used to it. Duggmirror has links to 3 other caches, so its better than nothing.
There is no reason why you should care if someone posts a link to duggmirror, because chances are YOU'RE going to try duggmirror to see if it works anyway, so why not just have a link there? Quit your crying, it doesn't hurt anyone, if anything it helps to know that the mirror is down, so you don't have to type it in yourself.
The thing I am even more sick of is duggmirror not getting the pages fast enough. Duggmirror used to work great, now I don't think it has worked for me when I've needed it in MONTHS.
Btw, heres a bookmarklet I wrote a while ago. Just go to the comments page of a digg story and click it:
javascript:window.location.href=window.location.href.replace('digg.com', 'duggmirror.com');
P.S: I don't mind if you digg down a duggmirror link, it shows everyone else it doesn't work... But seriously does it really affect you that badly? - dampeal, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I hope the bullet is faster than the server...
- teejaded, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Aren't all pictures slow motion? Just so slow that they're more like stop motion.
- Eth4n, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3duh?
- rdoger6424, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4It went so fast that it took out the server.
- purple, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3That's awesome. Got a one firing a slug?
- tarmithius, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Oops meant t-dot. Sorry for that.
- Andross01, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6If anyone wants to see more of this stuff, just take a look at the work of Harold Edgerton. He pretty much pioneered the field.

- sidian, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5have you no taste? The Prodigy is not just some "techno music". that song is from The Fat of the Land album. which when listened to in its entirety can produce an elevated level of consciousness. heres a good experiment. instead of listening to Huey Lewis when you work out listen to Fat of the Land and see how much better your times are.
