US Air Force Pays SETI To Check Kepler-22b For Alien Life
New submitter iComp writes with this quote from El Reg:
"The Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has announced that it is back in business checking out the new [potentially] habitable exoplanets recently discovered by NASA's Kepler space telescope to see if they might be home to alien civilizations. The cash needed to restart SETI's efforts has come in part from the U.S. Air Force Space Command, who are interested in using the organization's detection instruments for 'space situational awareness'."
Exactly. And the best way to defend yourself is forward defense. I learned this from a self-defense book by Bruce Lee that I studied in a book store when I was a kid. The method is not as easy as it might seem, though. It requires a constantly vigilant attitude and sharp senses. Basically, what you need to do first is train a lot of Jet Ki Do, Kit-tu, wing-chuck and all this shit. Then, you have to constantly watch your surroundings. If you see someone who looks suspicious or like a mugger, it's time for action. Suppose, for example, there is a suspiciously looking guy walking behind you. Forward defense means that you spot this guy early, and before he can do anything you kick the living daylight out of him without a warning. Since you have the initiative you will quickly overwhelm him---and you are safe and unharmed and can go on with your daily business. (Just make sure you kick him a few additional times while he's lying on the floor, so he cannot get after you.)
Thank you Bruce Lee, for this marvelous book! And you, dear fellow /. readers, may thank me for this valuable information! I salute you!
