Dude, that was awesome. Also, I loved the THX intro.

I don't have any mod points, but this is awesome.

If I have to use both hands to pee I'm buying a completely different app for that. iBrag.

Germans love David Hasslehoff.

Exactly. I looked at a Slate (haven't pulled the trigger yet since I don't have $700 laying around) because if I'm going to lug something else around with me I want it to be a laptop replacement. Not a crippled larger version of my iPhone. I want to use native Outlook, native PowerPoint, native Word. I want to draw on it with a stylus in OneNote and have it pick up my handwriting and make it legible. That's what I'm after.

100 push ups is nowhere near enough to cause Rhabdo. Maybe if he was being forced to do this multiple times, or otherwise overexert himself for days and days on end, but I can't see a single 100 push up set causing a full blown case out of nowhere. Rhabdo is usually diagnosed in crazy hardcore workout enthusiasts who don't know when to stop.

That sounds like a totally awesome SF short story. Mind if I played around with it? I've never published anything but it'd be a complete dick move not to ask permission, especially given the context of the conversation it popped up in.

You've obviously never been lied to about birth control then.

Fellow Minnesotan here. I'm betting we get the same amount of not-worth-the-cost.

I'd rather go one step further - instead of measures that will reduce patent troll-filed lawsuits, why not add a punitive measure?

I think a vote for or against someone because of a single view, be it abortion stance, environmental stance, or net neutrality stance is not exactly the best way to go about things. If you boil things down to one really narrow issue and vote solely on that you run the risk of voting in 9 evils for the 1 "good" idea you're passionate about.
