    in my experience the only way to learn martial arts is to train in a martial art. If you want to learn to fight, well then you need to start fighting people. Full contact full force. The safest way I have experienced fighting was through american boxing. Generally boxing trained to actually get to a match so sparring is for real. Real fighting happens at a much faster pace than you think. Also learning to take and manage damage to your own body and working through pain will give you an edge in a real fight.

    even though you weren't being serious, I'd like to add that I've actually seen an electric car made by an individual, so this thing was running on lead acid batteries, that pulled an 8 second quarter-mile.

    like, in photoshop you can make selections using selection tools of course, but also using paths and masks and all that. And you can run filters on those masks to effect the selection as you wish.

  11. Re:Microcontroller, not Arduino on Wireless Presenters Attacked Using an Arduino · · Score: 2, Interesting

    there is nothing special with the Arduino when you look at it from a technical standpoint. But it all changes when you look at it from a human stand point. Since the release of the Arduino platform I have seen so many more people that would probably never picked up a soldering iron in their lives make cool stuff. The platform itself inspired many, which is much more important than it being some sort of special hardware.

    well i havent used gimp for a while but i remember something so simple as layers or fine control of selections was impossible to do when I was using it.

    There is a lot that you just cant do in GIMP. A lot of simple stuff. I can't work without photoshop. Also interoperability between other types of software packages makes it fit into a workflow. GIMP stands alone.

    "hard where" is a description of what happens when a place or objects or set path in time/space is decided upon. When everyone comes to agreement that the current "where" is assuredly "there", becoming a hard where.

  16. Re:Can't trade a download on Most Console Gamers Still Prefer Physical Media · · Score: 1

    well, I think digital distribution is extremely convenient. If it was priced competitively with the used market more people would be likely to buy games. For example a game comes out on Steam and then after a month or 2 the price can be slashed to used prices. Since the downloads cant be "used" they should price to match used. There is no physical media so distribution costs are negligible and prices can be discounted very well. The way Steam does one day deals or special sales. Those games sell like hot cakes at the low prices. Turning more profit than at full price ever could.

    My favorite aspect of "Fountain" is that, the way it is arranged, if you did try to use it as a urinal you'd end up with piss on your shoes.

    If you pissed on most modern art you would end up with piss on your shoes.

  21. Re:Okay, look up the price of a 10 year old Prius on High Depreciation May Slow Electric Car Acceptance · · Score: 1

    this is a case of an armchair speculation of the situation. It's logical to think that an EV will lose most of it's value due to the life of the battery. But, thats assuming that the battery life is as bad as you think it is.The Prius is doing just fine.

    Basing a speculation on one facet of a system that you can wrap your head around doesn't give an answer. Despite potential battery life issues current electric and battery containing offerings sell very high in the aftermarket. Everyone is snatching up any vehicle that can save money on gas.

  25. Re:Why is that "collusion"? on Verizon Hints At Scrapping Unlimited Data Plans · · Score: 4, Interesting

    When one company sells something that customers want and then another competing company matches their price/product/etc to access those customers, that is competition.

    When one company decides to force a product to become worse but cost the same and then another one follows suit. That's something else.

    It may or may not actually involve collusion but it sure doesn't do anything good for the customers.
