Then I would suggest a martial art that isn't a "sport" martial art. I agree completely that martial arts that are geared toward formal sparring or tourney competition are a hindrance, since they involve rules and avoiding illegal moves. And doing this for years and years ingrains that attitude. However, learning something along the lines of Krav Maga, Arnis, or, hell, even American Kenpo (which has different styles, many of which are amalgams of others) is a different story altogether. In those arts, every move is aimed to end a confrontation decisively. Overwhelming blitz style attacks, crippling and even deadly strikes are common in these styles. There ain't no such think as a fair fight in these. There is only winning.
However, your final point is spot on. I remember my master told me something a long time ago that sticks with me to this day. Skill trumps no skill, but attitude trumps skill. If, for whatever reason, I'm not treating a physical confrontation as the fight of my life (perhaps afraid of getting hurt, reluctant to hurt others) and my opponent is, my odds of winning just went way down regardless of relative skill level. For me, the hardest part has been deciding if it really is a potentially lethal or crippling situation. I've been in very few fights, and in only one was it clear cut (there was a knife involved. And yes, I "won", but I got cut pretty bad (a given in a knife fight))
Yes, but didn't he also say that regardless of your frame of reference c is always c.

Nope. Pretty sure he meant what he wrote. Malaysia is a mess as well.

10 GB? Comcast's cap is 250 GB/mo. And I haven't heard of anyone getting anything more than a stern "hey, watch your usage" for going over, yet (but I could be wrong). All I know is that I stream Netflix and Hulu+ quite a bit since I got rid of Cable TV and kept the Internet and I haven't even approached the cap.
In other words, some of the Founding Fathers were bigots who did not, in fact, accept liberty for all men, and other Founding Fathers were realists who knew they had to make compromises.
Wow, that sounds like they were human beings. Go figure.
It was also satire. This becomes pretty obvious when you read his other writings. Michiavelli was an inveterate republican. Not the political party, the style of government.
You don't get the right to update your firmware just using your own modem on a cable network
Yes, I do. And have. However, if an update borks my connection, I'm shit out of luck as far as support from them is concerned. (I made a point of looking at my TOS when I did the update to make sure they couldn't kick me off for doing it).
Sorry, everyone who drives anywhere on the planet knows what an advanced green is. You'll have to do your own research on this one.
Untrue. I had to go to Wikipedia to find out what the hell it was. I've driven in the Chicago area since I've had a license (over 20 years) and I have *never* seen (or even heard of) a traffic light exhibiting "advanced green" behavior. Here, there are dedicated lights for left turns at busy intersections. Usually, the signal is a column of five lights. Red, Yellow, Green, Yellow Left Arrow, and Green Left Arrow. In fact at particularly busy intersections, you cannot make a left turn unless the Green Left Arrow is lit. It is illegal to make a left turn at those intersections when only the general Green is lit.
So they'll be a 2-way radio and checkout counter gear company by this time next year?
And enterprise WiFi and Wireless IPS/IDS devices. Oh, and managed services for the WiFi and IPS/IDS. Basically, anything that was in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions (the *only* profitable division by a long, long shot).
Basically: Networking (LTE, GSM, iDEN, etc...) sold to Nokia Siemens Mobility (phones and consumer products) spun off into Motorola Mobility EMS (public safety, Symbol products, AireDefense, RFS switches, etc...) re-branded as Motorola Solutions
I think what you're describing (the charging for distribution) is called criminal copyright infringement. It has much steeper fines and could involve jail time.
Making a mix tape (or CD) and giving it to a friend gratis, is still copyright infringement, but I believe it's only a civil matter at that point. Tanenbaum was sued in civil court, (the RIAA's mentions 10 jurors in their response to the ruling). It's only when you start charging money when it becomes criminal (and the federal government attacks your ass).
I could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure that's how it currently works (or rather doesn't work IMHO).
I don't know what you're talking about, and I think you don't either. Those jobs are out there (the skilled, high-paying, corporate ones). Of course, you actually have to demonstrate those skills in the execution of the job.
Last summer the office I worked in was shut down, and I immediately walked into another job at a large, well-known corp with zero down time. And for *far* more than a measly $23/hr. without anything higher than an associates degree. Of course I've been in this biz for a long time (going on 20+yrs), so I have a lot of practical, *real-world* experience to draw on.
Eh, doesn't really matter since nobody carries hundreds. They're large enough that most places won't take them anyways.
You're joking right? While not pocket change, it's also not a terribly large amount of money either. I guess it depends on location, but in my neck of the woods it's not uncommon at all. I have never come across a place that refused a hundred dollar bill (or fifties).
Wow Nierko (the submitter), way to plagiarize BoingBoing. Cory Doctorow used this exact same phrase in his post last night about this event.
The Planet is holding competitions to speed-assemble rack-mounted servers. It's like watching latter-day Marines field-strip and assemble their weapons.
Seriously, you couldn't come up with something original?
Quite a while back I put my foot in a boot whilst wearing no socks only to discover that a large huntsman was under my toes... my instinctive reaction at that moment was to curl my toes up and stomp down.
Spidery crunch. Ugh.
Scared of being bitten and halfway committed... I pushed down for quite a while to ensure the poor little guy was dead:\
I think we need a +1 I just Threw Up In My Mouth A Little, here.
I second the Openfire/Spark combo (or other client of your choice). I set it up at work as a quick and dirty IM for our department (flung around the world). It's fantastic for quick questions or collabs that don't need or require email or phone. We've been using it for years (back when it used to be called Wildfire), and have not had one issue with it.
then again if they were real scientists they would have done an estimate before hand that accounted for such an event.
If they were real scientists it would make a very boring show. I know I don't want to watch a show of a bunch of grad students in dimly lit offices using MatLab and Excel, while the researcher eats lobster dinners trying to score just one more grant.

From what I read of the article that's actually a pretty good guess.

You mean the 2008-2009 where the Dems controlled Congress? That one? I'll be glad to blame the ones in charge at the time.
Yes, I do. And have. However, if an update borks my connection, I'm shit out of luck as far as support from them is concerned. (I made a point of looking at my TOS when I did the update to make sure they couldn't kick me off for doing it).
Yeah... unless you can back that one up, I'm going to have to call bullshit on that.

Actually, there is no space between "back" and "up". Additionally, the clue is meant to be taken literally.
The username for the BBS is backup and the password is backup. There was much forehead smacking late Monday night after that was figured out.
You have that backward. It hasn't gone by Ethereal for quite a few years. The official, current name is Wireshark.
I'm guessing because Skype is to China as Fire is to Frankenstein's Monster.
Seriously, I'm pretty sure citizens in China can't have Skype installed on their computers due to the encryption or some such thing.
