Have you ever studied Aikido? It's a martial art that stresses defense, and specifically using the attacker's energy against them. In Aikido you let the attacker attack, as hard as they can. Only when they become off balance, often by attacking too hard, do you "help them" to the ground.
I was thinking more of hard Aikido (where you occasionally punch the other guy) or Ninpo, where you actively control the space and manipulate the other guy into beating themself down.
I'll bet you drive slower in the rain, though. Playing GT3 has made me more conservative in crap weather, because I can see what happens when my rear end gets loose in a turn. Also, Handling cars in GT3 is anything but easy - I mean really, who in their right mind thinks that driving a race prepped 300hp rear wheel drive car around a tight track at the limit is easy hasn't done it. Also, you have to drive like that for 5-7 minutes (in the easy stages) at a time with no mistakes or the other guys will eat your lunch.
Engaging in simulated activities often stimulates the same part of the brain as actually engaging in the activity in real life. Throwing a grenade at someone in BF2 may not actually kill someone, but a small part of your brain registers that killing is enjoyable.
No, it registers that you've defeated or injured an opponent. In the context it's in, it is no different than scoring a 1st down in football. Context is important.
It is not the job of the government or Gamespot to shield my kids from violent video games. If I want that to happen I'll see to it personally. Just as any good parent would.
If you want your kids to be able to play GTA3, go buy it for them. Gamestop is perfectly within its rights to refuse service to your kids.
It is perfectly legal in most states to sell M rated video games to kids and therefore the store should stay out of it.
No, they have the right to refuse a sale. Don't like it? Don't go there.
What I'm against is retail stores trying to enforce their morals on their customers at their own behest.
No, this is stores following their own ethical guidelines. It isn't at all like pharmacists refusing to fill a birth control script, because there's no serious consequence to the customer.
Laws against selling video games of [rating] to [demographic] are being declared unconstitutional left and right. ("In a decision that drew upon the judicial rulings of cases where similar legislation had been deemed unconstitutional, Judge Whyte wrote that "games are protected by the First Amendment and that plaintiffs are likely to prevail in their argument that the Act violates the First Amendment.")
That's right - so far, those laws have been struck down. Stores can still follow that policy.
Wow, you got that right. Not so much fat as really big. Actually, you look like the sort of guy that BMI doesn't work on - body fat percentage is probably more accurate.
Try removing your wallet from you back pocket to alleviate back pain. I've heard it's a major cause of back pain because it causes you to sit on an angle, which is a problem with geeks who do a lot of sitting.
If your wallet is messing up your posture, I'll be happy to hold those funny bits of green paper for you.
The bridge requires a lot less strength than the wheel, but I feel the wheel does much more for the back.
Odd - what I always thought of as the bridge is called the wheel. There's also this cool thing you can do where you do half of a backwards roll so your shoulders are on the floor with your hands behind your head, then use your legs to spring to your feet.
Sorry for being the devil's advocate here (as I dislike what the music industry is doing) but, what the girl was doing was something illegal, she commited a crime (called copyright infringement, not theft).
So far as I can tell, she's not been accused of any crime, only compyright infringement, which is a civil tort. Too bad I can't see even that, as nobody has provided any background info.
Didn't Microsoft change the licensing (yet again) in the last year or so, to make it illegal to transfer Windows from one PC to another, regardless of whether you paid the full retail price?
So what if they did? I haven't agreed to it, so it doesn't apply. I buy my software, not license it.
Your assertion that TPM exists solely to remove control from us is also marketing, but from a different quarter. Dont think its any different, its one view or opinion, not reality.
No, it's a considered judgement based on the history of the technology. TPM doesn't do anything that you can't already do in software with one exception: remove control from the user. MMUs unload a compute intensive task from the CPU - TPM isn't that intensive.
Here is what Phil Scott (who the hell is he) had to say:
Well, according to Netcraft, apache is running 68% of websites, with IIS being used heavily to park domains. I know for a fact that a number of large e-commerce sites are using apache for their stuff. I have no idea who Phil Scott is, and I wonder what use a survey of fortune 1000 websites are, as many of them aren't heavily used dynamic sites.
IIS is by far the minority web server of choice, yet most of the exploits are for it, not Apache.
No we aren't. The last time we were at war, we rationed food, steel, gasoline, and rubber to support the war effort. We had 99 divisions and our planes blotted out the sun. Nowadays, we have a lot fewer active soldiers and our fat countrymen would riot if we told them they couldn't buy the latest land yacht, so we aren't at war. Being at war is a lot different than the current situation.
BTW: this was in an ethernet development lab (developing ethernet chipsets, PHYs, MACs, Repeaters, ETC.) and the very shitty thing is when some dumbass plugs in an IXIA or SmartBits into your production network and floods it with random source and destination IP and MAC addresses and random packet lengths. Your routers _will_ die
Did you DTRT and isolate said lab behind a router, or was this more pervasive than that?
I'm sure it's much harder to get malware running on OS X, but if it becomes the platform most of your potential audience are using then malware developers will just try harder to make nasties for Mac
That must be why IIS is more exploited than Apache, because it has such a larger marketshare...
Or maybe it's a question of an architecture that supports malicious software better - MS is hardly known for their security.
Slashdot Mirror
Maps told me to take the I405 instead of I5 to go to South Seattle from Lynnwood. FRONT PAGE NEWS!
That's actually a good idea some parts of the day. I5 backs up when it goes to 2 lanes in central Seattle.
*BLAM!*
Oh look, aren't you a clever little fool.

Come on, it's either aluminium or gold plated - there's no brass in there at all.
So whats this "War on " crap, just because you do not "ration" does not mean you are not at war. Open your eyes fool.
Yes it does mean that. The last war we declared was against Japan and Germany, not abstract concepts llike poverty, drugs, or terrorism.

Yeah, that thing. Of course, a backwards roll is usually faster/easier.
Wow, tiny bouncers:)
Not really. 200 lbs of muscle with good control beats a 250lb gorilla any day of the week.

Son of a bitch... I hope that manager got relegated to a 10k/sec connection thereafter, or else frogmarched out the front door.
But I just gotta know - is this a Chocolate Wifi network?
Newsflash, you ARE at war.
No we aren't. The last time we were at war, we rationed food, steel, gasoline, and rubber to support the war effort. We had 99 divisions and our planes blotted out the sun.

Being at war is a lot different than the current situation.
Though, if you worked in IT in the past 3-4 years, you may recall a number of PHP exploits which provided root access on compromised machines.
Why the hell does PHP need root access to begin with? Run it as a separate user so all it can do is trash its own stuff.
There's a war on. Shouldn't someone in your procurement chain be facing a court martial?
Why? Just because we've invaded some pissant country doesn't really change things. We haven't actually been at war for 60 years.
