  1. Re:Unarmed Combat on Wisdom From The Last Ninja · · Score: 1

    Very boring. Nothing happens except the old man yelling from the side. I did like it though, a good example of one of the only ways to beat a Gracie's jujitsu.

  4. Unarmed Combat on Wisdom From The Last Ninja · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is slightly off topic but really the legands of wonder fighters have about as much reality as Crouching Tiger etc.

      Show up in the Octagon and see who walks away. It's pretty simple. The _proven_ methods of combat are mutai, jujitsu and just plain pounding the crap out of the other guy. The Gracies with Royce Gracie as the lead dominated the early days showing Brazillian Jujitsu as the most effective combat method. As time has passed there have been advances in defense and the striker - grappler thing is much more even now.

      I would like to see Hatsumi strut his stuff but it's just a myth. There have been quite a few so called amazing martial artists humiliated in short order.

  14. Re:RTFM is no longer practical on Linux Snobs, The Real Barriers to Entry · · Score: 1

    One of the basics of *nix is the man page. I've spent many a happy hour just typing "man strangecommand" to find out what all those weird commands mean. It becomes very useful when you are using a command you know little about, or using a command that has many and varied options, "man mplayer", is a good example here.

      The command line allows many options to the initiated and you just can't click enough boxes to do complex stuff. As this can get quite involved and quite frankly man pages are the cat's meoww for the command line.

      I don't like most people no but then I'm nearly 60 and have had a lot of experiance with them. I do spend time in various places helping out but I don't hang out in forums much, unless one of my trolls has hooked a right-wing-nut and I need to smash it's head on the side.

      You won't have fun in the maze of twisty turns I fear.
