    I still tremble when I think back on those dark times.
    Can you imagine? Spending an entire day troubleshooting your Xorg.conf, and at the end of it you couldn’t even unwind with some porn!

    First archive of the page:

    Respect

    In the old days of feudal Japan, a samurai warrior would shout “Mi no hodo o shire!”, ‘Know your place!’ at anyone who dared to show insufficient respect. And with that, a sword would be brought swiftly down upon the poor unfortunate’s head. Well, you might not have to fear a sword any more but it would still be wise to always remember your place. Even if you don’t have the language skills, a softening of the voice, a discreet awareness of the other person’s personal space and undemonstrative body language go a long way showing respect.

    Later versions seem to have “身の程を知れ”, but it looks like they changed the page a few times.
