i now he has awe and ruthlessness im thinking but what exactly are these really?

You never bought any liao boosters? Well you can just go to wizkids site and to the mechwarrior section, then click the how to play link and download the liao faction abilities pdf from there.

Direct from the Liao Expansion rules supplement.
The underlined portions of the above text, are changes that were made in the FAQ

thanxs but for the faq question they dont go into effect until the 22nd right?

No, these changes were toruny legal January 1st 2004. Currently the only parts of the latest FAQ that are not toruny legal are the new charge rules, and the Errata for CA figures

so the new charge rule doesnt go int effect until the 22nd?

correct

BR has no special rules?

BR has no faction specific abilities.

But, they genrally have units that are easy to repair (fwer repair markers) and tend to have faster, better, or more infiltrating units then any other faction. you aslo tend to see more Decoy and Camoflage for thier units then other factions. And thier mechs have some of the best heat dials in the game.

I tend to play a lot of BR myself

Yep, Liao is the only faction with faction abilities.

WizKids said that the reason why House Liao has faction abilities and the rest of the factions do not is because Liao is a House, they have a broader history than just the Dark Age story-lines and have been a fighting unit for many more years than the factions that are currently in. :p

the non-hosue factiosn are more like well oginzied mercinary armies that show alligance (or at least some do) to some ideal or house
