Slashdot Mirror
Top U.S. Tech Cities
srizah writes "Wired.com claims to have used a 'scientific methodology' to rate the top 10 tech towns in the US. They use some very reliable indexes, like 'Craigslist postings per capita' or 'Number of attendees at local meetings of dorkbot'. The usual suspects (Seattle, San Francisco) show up on the list, but some might surprise you. From the article: 'Raleigh-Duram - The jocks here may get worked up about college hoops, but the tech set is passionate about Linux distros and Mac-PC holy wars. North Carolina's Triangle is ground zero for Red Hat, SAS Institute, and an IBM center. Bonus: The area hosts two World Beer Festivals a year.'"
Have to agree with this. If we wanted to find the city most likely to molest you as a child, craglist listings would work. Tech geekyness? Not so much.
It's "Durham". Jesus, Slashdot editors can't even copy and paste now? Is that a Linux problem?
You are a dickhead.
Atlanta has too many Negroes, they almost outnumber Whites 2-to-1.
Yes, the majority of people here consider themselves Republicans, but if you're willing to get past somebody's political views, there are also lots of friendly people.
There is a large difference between "political views" and extremist nutjobs who actively support the dismantling of the constitution, and it's replacement with a fascist theocracy. It's also very different from people who want the biggest most oppressive government possible. and are actively working to make it happen.
Maybe you should wake up and realise that running death camps in third world shitholes in order to torture and murder innocent people to pretend they're dealing with a threat that they made up isn't a "political view" Those are *actions* which could only be supported by savage cowardly subhuman monsters as evidenced by the oly people who still support this tyrannical treasonous regime.
That's just so laughable. They've murdered a shitload of inocent people to make a few douchebags richer at all of our expense, destabilized an entire region, looted the treasury *again* just like the Bushies did to the S&L, destroyed any integrity we had as a nation, proved themselves to be the most corrupt congress in our history, and promoted anti-American hate based legislation, and you call it "political views".
Seriously, Dude. That's just pure unadulterated lunacy.
I'll pass on living near some cowardly douchebags who would happily watch me and my whole family murdered as long as their dear leader says I'm a terrorist regardless of the fact that his whole act is just making fun of how stupid he *knows* they are. Who but an idiot would have fallen for that shit?
So, sorry, but no such thing as a friendly Republican is even possible. Just one who hasn't fucked you yet.
Oh wait, supporting mass murder, torture, and unlimited government power is ok as long as they're polite to your face before stabbing you in the back.
Fucking retard.
