naptu2: All this talk of pictures reminds me. I still have a picture from one of those threads in my nearly dead laptop, although I can't remember who the combatants were.

All I remember was that a guy got a girl's picture and posted it on the open forum. He kept drawing caricatures on it and adding offensive and insulting tags to it.

michelin89: Oyinbogoju vs Michelin89: the guy threatened to go spiritual on me after he was banned for posting my picture without my consent. Today I'm alive to testify because he said I wouldn't live enough to tell the story!

This is the battle I was trying to remember. That picture is still on google images!

femmy2010: You ship just like you do ship any other car but clearing entails getting a clearance letter from the SSS or other security agency before the customs clearing process can be completed.

Thanks very much.

[size=14pt]Controlled Explosion/Detonation[/size]


A controlled explosion is a method for detonating or disabling a suspected explosive device.

Methods which are used to set off a controlled explosion include emptying out the area and moving the package (with the aid of robots) into a confined space such as a telephone booth.

Another classic method of controlled explosion is to place the bomb in a skip and fill it with sand before detonating it with a self-incendiary device or a fuse.

Controlled explosions are becoming quite common in the UK, especially in the South East where, because there is a lot of development, unexploded World War II bombs are often found by construction diggers.

[size=14pt]Police Robot Tasks[/size]

Because the majority of police robots are highly mobile and have sophisticated audio and visual systems, police have the option to use them in several situations. The most common use for a police robot is in bomb removal and disposal. While robots are expensive, the cost is small compared to that of human life. Some robots are so tough that they can survive multiple blasts. Still, most of the time the goal is to avoid any sort of explosion at all.

When investigating a potential bomb, police officers use the cameras on the robot to assess the situation. If the robot is able to reach the suspicious device, the operator can use the claw to grip the device, lift it and move it to a cleared location for detonation. In cases where the device isn't easily accessible or appears to have a triggering mechanism that will activate if the device moves, police may have to detonate the device on-site.

Robots can also be used as a surveillance device. A robot with microphones and night vision can approach a potentially unsafe area while broadcasting information back to the operator. Using a robot can help reduce the time it takes for police to assess a situation, without placing an officer at risk.

By using the two-way audio system, police can communicate with anyone from suspects to hostages. Robots are useful in negotiation situations because unless they're visibly armed, they're relatively nonthreatening. Another benefit is that the robot's cameras can continue gathering information while police use the audio system to communicate with people in dangerous situations. The police can also use robots to deliver items like food to victims and suspects in hostage situations without risking an officer's life.

Some robots have sensors that can detect anything from narcotics to biological, radioactive or chemical weapons. Robots help first responders determine how dangerous an area is quickly and safely. Operators can maneuver robots through hazardous environments to find survivors. Some robots are strong enough to drag victims out of lethal situations.

Companies like Remotec and RoboticFX are constantly working to develop new robots for police forces, the military and other organizations that deal with hazardous situations. Newer models have better maneuverability, longer-lasting batteries, arms with more points of articulation and new accessories designed to help officers perform dangerous tasks.

In the future, robots might be more autonomous, eliminating the need for a human operator calling the shots from a command console. As robots become more agile, we may see an increase of an armed robotic police presence.

But even when companies can meet all the technological demands of an autonomous, armed police force, there'll still be social and political hurdles. What happens if a police robot malfunctions and harms someone, for example? Also, robots are expensive to purchase and maintain and require an officer's input to function.

But their drawbacks are minor when you consider that robots help keep law enforcement officials safe. For now, police robots are pretty rare -- there's little chance you'll bump into one the next time you're at Krispy Kreme -- but in a few decades, we might just see a rocket-shaped robot officer on wheels instructing us when to cross the street at the crosswalk.

The long running saga of

[size=14pt]Becomerich vs Nairaland[/size]

This battle is almost as old as nairaland itself. Becomerich has launched attacks against nairaland and its bandwidth using weapons like mapographic scud missiles, graphic and horrifying cruise missiles (made up of pictures of blood and gore) and bunker bursting batu bombs.

Nairaland on its part has retaliated using weapons such as banning and deletion.

However, Mr Musiwa devised an antidote to Nairaland's counter-attacks and that antidote is composed of numerous IDs, eg Becomerich 1-100, Becomrich, Becoomerich, Becomricha, Becomericher, Eguofor, Complove, Nigeria1, Nigeriaone, Bashali, Tayo4life and Uche 2005. He also created a "rival" website known as Globe.

The audience in this battle (Nairalanders) have often switched sides, sometimes backing becomerich and at other times supporting Nairaland. This led to the famous incident when Becomrich was voted politics section poster of the year, disqualified and then reinstated.

Adesegun Musiwa is the Nairaland politics section poster of the year 2009. He is an electricity engineer who graduated from the University of Ilorin. He speaks Batu and a host of other languages.

He works as the chief mapologist at Google. His philosophy is that all Nigeria's problems will be solved if the Western Niger is excised from Nigeria and added to Benin Republic.

He is very influential (more influential than Goodluck Jonathan), knows all the pastors in Nigeria and will win any free and fair presidential election conducted in Nigeria, by virtue of his philosophy as contained in the sacred satellite pictures.

Adesegun Musiwa is also the leader of Egbe Omo Oduduwa

I would like to know the processes involved in importing/clearing armoured/bullet-proof cars. Are there any additional procedures/documentation, or is it the same as importing/clearing regular cars?

Any advice/info you can give would be much appreciated.
