Now this is Cool

.1db loss on that wirebundle at the end is really impressive.

If your opponents get tired and go home it doesn't mean you've won.

So I stumbled onto this. It angers me in ways that are hard to express. I'm not going to argue his points because he doesn't read my blog so I'd more or less be jacking off. But I am going to critique his style.

1. He sites authority constantly. If an argument is bullshit saying it's a famous person's bullshit doesn't improve the smell. Also I'm no expert in the field but it looks like most of his authorities are of the 'person who wrote a book that agrees with me' variety.
2. It's true because it's true. He characterizes his opponents with six points. His counters range from "It is by universal definition" to "it can't." If you want to take something as given your opponents have to agree not your handpicked third parties.
3. Words don't work that way. While I support making up new words as appropriate (I quite like bioinformatics which he or his people made up) but his "Mathematical theory of communication" (which has no numbers) is a real wallbanger.

Some time I should write up my arguments against the existance of god and see if I can avoid a similar catastrifuck of fallacies.

My New Place

So I just put a deposit down on an apartment. I don't have the mailing address and my move in date is yet to be determined but I can give you the find your way there directions.

9nth East just north of 45th south. The big empty lot on google is the clubhouse and a couple additional buildings.

The rent is equal to or less than the other places I looked at and the deposit is much smaller. And I think it might be the best achievable location. Across the street from a supermarket and a single short (and frequent) bus from trax.
