Aerial Photographs of the 1906 Earthquake

Posted by michael on from the pioneering dept.

hansoloaf writes "In 1906 San Francisco had a devastating earthquake - registering around 7.7 to 8.3 on the Richter scale. George Lawrence had devised ways to take aerial photographs and went to SF to showcase his technology. He used kites and custom built cameras that could take photos while up in the air."

    I didn't even say that I'm a man, Anonymous gay Coward. *You* are the one with visions of gay sex, and an ASCII porno collection to match.

    Micron Technology has a history of abusing its contractors, despite efforts by a minority of its employees to do otherwise.

    1. Not long ago in a clearly marked area an Underfloor Crew was about to clean under a machine that was working with hazardous chemicals. One Micron employee had nothing better to do with his time than to ask the Underfloor Crew why they were putting on Tyvek suits (in an unpleasant manner). The suprivisor replied as to what the crew was doing, and this certain employee said that there were no hazardous chemicals running through any of the machines in the room. This person could only have been A> misleading the Underfloor Crew into direct harm, B> speaking such words in order to harass the Underfloor Crew, or C> making a direct attack on all of the Crew's content of character and (subsequently) employment status.

    2. Most people in the fab look at people in orange hoods (contractors) like they're pieces of shit.

    3. Equipment that contractors use is always getting stolen.

    4. Security always harasses contractors about badge problems but almost never harasses MTI employees about the same problems.

    5. Micron employees are much more likely to make a sexually unpleasant move or joke towards female contractors.

    To the heads at Micron Technology -- GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!! Descriminatory action will not be tolerated much longer. Your warning time is much shorter now, and you do not want to wait for it. We hope you make the correct decision for a bright and productive future.
