I dont see a problem with changing "choke hold" to "arm bar" is that is what the police call the move that was done.

There is a world of difference between a choke hold and an arm bar. One breaks your arm/elbow and you get to live. The other can be used inappropriately and the recipient ends up dead. They are in no way the same.

Comment AngularJS + VHDL (Score 1) 292

I was recently presented with a job description that included a lot of web dev. stuff like Angular as well as niche EE dev. experience in the VHDL language. This was a former DJIA listed company. It was completely baffled but let the recruiter submit me for the job just for kicks (I'm an EE). Needless to say I "wasn't qualified" for the job.

When I see this crap it's a signal to run away fast. It's clear that the the person who wrote the job description is a clueless moron and the person who approved it is too. One of them probably works in HR and such confusion would be partially understandable but the other must be the manager you'd be working under.

Comment Re:What about military satellites (Score 1) 178

The SIGINT satellites with the sensitivity to pick up the sort of transmissions from the plane's transponders have steerable antennas that must be pointed in the vicinity of the target to get a usable signal. Unless you come up with an elaborate conspiracy theory where the US planned this whole thing, that couldn't have happened.
