The farther west you get in Texas, the better it gets: elevation rises dramatically, humidity plummets, the roaches and mosquitoes get replaced by coyotes and tumbleweeds... and the landscape becomes downright majestic. There are forests at the higher elevations (the highest point in West Texas is ~9,000' above sea level) and the Southeastern-most range of the Rockies (the Cloudcroft & Ruidoso area of New Mexico - with 11,000' peaks if I recall correctly) is only a couple hours away. It's empty and remote... and there are a shitload of ridiculously well-paying jobs fairly close by. 85mph speed limits and no state income tax.
Beats the shit out of anywhere east of the Mississippi but I realize that's not saying much.
Maelcum produced a white lump of foam slightly smaller than Case's head, fished a pearl-handled switchblade on a green nylon lanyard out of the hip pocket of his tattered shorts and carefully slit the plastic. He extracted a rectangular object and passed it to Case. `Thas part some gun, mon?'
`No,' Case said, turning it over, `but it's a weapon. It's virus.'
`Not on thisboy tug, mon,' Maelcum said firmly, reaching for the steel cassette.
`A program. Virus program. Can't get into you, can't even get into your software. I've got to interface it through the deck, before it can work on anything...'
`What is this thing?' he asked the Hosaka. `Parcel for me.'

He slotted the Chinese virus, paused, then drove it home.
`Okay,' he said, `we're on..."
`Christ on a crutch,' the Flatline said, `take a look at this.'
The Chinese virus was unfolding around them. Polychrome shadow, countless translucent layers shifting and recombining. Protean, enormous, it towered above them, blotting out the void.
`Big mother,' the Flatline said.
Were you trying to say that when VR experiences its first real boom, it'll be porn?? Regardless... that "boom" will have to come first, msmash... something to do with causality.
You're in a rough position and I don't envy you; it must suck to have to defend a defenseless position... the above attempt was desperate and while your "logic" rings hollow, you really shouldn't feel too bad... but if shilling for the Military/Prison Industrial Complex gets old (or you simply develop some self-respect), the good news is that the economy's doing well and you can probably get a job tomorrow delivering pizza... you do have a license, right??
Don't ride your bike against the flow of traffic... and don't start your so-called sentences with "because." And if someone tells you that you smell (the teachers were wrong; you can sometimes begin your sentences with "and"), it's likely that you weren't taught to wipe properly, either... but there are YouTube vids for that.
Oh... and in trailer parks they don't tend to purchase or read books any more than you do.
But anyway, what is it with Americans and needing things explained to them?
Are you suggesting that you'd already figured out what the end of 2001 was supposed to (pfft) or that, as a 'properly right-brained Euro' you simply "know not to ask?" (an even bigger "PFFT")
Reading comprehension fail; that's hardly what happened. What happened... was that on a public forum, in front of the world to see, she - and her more experienced colleague who had his tongue up her ass - revealed some particularly entertaining personality flaws... and got what they - and far too many others clearly fucking deserve.

She wasn't a "bit rude" but apparently you feel you have credibility to burn; I say otherwise but what do I know? ;)
Do an image search for "Big Bend National Park;" you'll shit yourself.

The study of psychotextiles is the materials-science branch of a proper liberal arts/humanities degree; surely you've heard of it.
Nice headline... helps to read the article, though.... to avoid making up shit.
In Soviet Amerika, Soylent McDonald's turns into you.
Most of the decommissioning costs I've seen are a fraction of that.
Yeah, no shit; what's a hundred pounds of Tannerite cost?? "When in Texas..."
Questions??
Good, old-fashioned analog parenting, without all the goddamned devices.
That's the advantage of Chinese hypertext.

s it cheap labour or are they trying to hire highly skilled people?
Having trouble telling those two apart, are you.
In my 20+ years of experience, natural born US Citizens are no better than foreign born developers who work in the US.
Objectively speaking, youre either delusional or a liar but we thank you for your contribution nonetheless.

Fortunately, UK bureaucrats are well-known for their intelligence.
The Juke looks like a crosstrainer that was specifically designed to be marketed to lesbians with Down Syndrome.
Or hanged until the body ceases twitching, like Asahara-san. (Did anyone else know that Nippon has the death penalty??)
Don't you think Israel has given the world enough reasons to be disgusted with it??
Though the latter seems plausible though, anyone care to guess if those Chinese "special needs" are

Actually... yes, it is. The numbers are indeed off; these aren't Pentium Pros we're talking about.
