Comment Simon's Law (Score 1) 182

The argument wasn't that he was a hypocrite. That was just for bonus points. The argument was that he did not share private information because that information is very private. Hence, not all things should be shared.

Simon's Law: People who call opposing arguments logical fallacies are incapable of correctly identifying logical fallacies.

Comment Could you use a web search at some point? (Score 1) 182

The lab that discovered the new strain of botulism is a test center for infant poop. The drugs are terribly expensive so when a baby is suspected of having infant botulism, the hospital sends a sample that gets tested. If it's tested positive, the baby is given the antitoxin.

Seriously, use a web search. Not that hard.

You are totally correct. Terrorists are quite happy to use WMD when they can.

I'm seriously considering buying one, now that it has 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB HD. That means I can virtualize. My only sticking points are a lack of LTE and Thunderbolt. Oh, and the battery life is way better.

I'm waiting on the new Acer Iconia, if it ever comes, and the Dell XPS 11. If they're no better, I'll get the Surface 2.
