So with commissions, you lost $50K?
Let me guess, $100,000 in repairs included black marble kitchen counters.
I am always amazed how many "college graduates" move back and forth over the years and then try to retire with a $5000 a month mortgage.
Us dummies don't sell the California house. We keep the Prop 13 property tax rate and rent it.
Periodically, we move back. Paid off house. No payments. No sweat.
Well, Duh!
Exactly how many people working a Google actually know what they are doing?
I always wondered what it would be like to catch the managers out on the street and beat the shit out of them.
Hell, I once was so pissed of at my manager that I went looking for him to kick his ass (at IBM). Interestingly enough, he had been fired between the time I talked to him on the phone and the time it took to get to his office.
Working mothers benefits society? How? Oh yeah, the family can then buy a BMW and live in a big house and fight over who is responsible for cleaning and cooking.
The children are strangers.
The good news is that 2/3 of college graduates are women. So men can stay home and raise the kids. And complain of headaches (while screwing the neighborhood ladies).
Wonder no more. Some jackass always puts a retention date on data. Usually 25 or 100 years.
Mostly trivial backups.
The rational: "Well you never know".
What is most amusing is backup data is usually the same over and over. Day after day, year after year.
Wow,
I volunteer at the local high school. The teacher stepped out of the room for a half an hour and asked me to watch the class. Not wanting to be like a substitute teacher, I decided to challenge the class to figure out how the Greeks came up with Pi. So I drew a circle on the chalk board and started talking about using triangles... The students ran out of the room...
You have an impossible task.
Your either really really smart or not. Going to school is not going to make you smarter. Think of the few people who fall into this category. I have only met one really really really smart person. And a few really really smart ones.
I did miss my chance to meet more when I didn't quite get a job at IBM Research. I think they had 5 Nobel prize winners at the facility at the time.
We would have tilted the earth on it's axis.
Are you nuts?
Exponential expansion ended years ago. And was replaced by Exponentialexponential expansion. New discoveries are being reported at so fast a pace as to be dizzying.
Computer speed is increasing by a factor of 1000 every ten years. Electronic storage is beyond comprehension.
Believe it or not Chinese and Indian scientists exist.
Oh, I just noticed that you claim to be from Caltech. Overfunded, underproductive.
Finally, A voice of reason.
Remember memory chips being really scarce and expensive. Remember paying $180 for a 16meg memory board?
Boys and Girls, the Asians are loading up. We are going to have solar cells coming out of our ears.
Luckily, the utility companies will resist putting your solar farm on the grid till the bitter end.
Yeah, you pay $81 and the taxpayers pay $500. Wait a second, your one of the taxpayers in New York City. Did you mention the New York City Income Tax?
Did you mention the property taxes? Did you mention that New York state is short $25 billion this year. What is New York City short?
Your New York model is unsustainable.
2 + 2 = 4
How is that?
It "can" take 10 years. Hell it can take 25 years.
How did we win World War II in 3 1/2 years? Oh yeah, you "it can't be done" boys were not alive then.
Pollution? The world is burning 85 million barrels of oil every day. In ten years it is going to be 100 million barrels a day. Now we are being warned of carbon footprint.
What the hell does that mean? Oh yeah, plants grow better with a higher CO2 content in the atmosphere. So more food. Warmer climate, because the North Pole is melting and the South Pole is adding ice. WTF?
Why do all of these arguments have to be surrounded by lies. Have any of you seen the CO2 statistics? Excellent, the data is hidden.
So, you got fired from you job at HP? Did you get caught sleeping in your office? Really close to work.
What does France do with all of its nuclear waste?
So Java is an interpreted language that runs slowly and Cobol is a compiled program that runs fast.
So Oil is slow and COBOL is fast? Or is Java slow and coal fast? Or is...
Yes it is tough to be stupid.
Let's get this straight, they only sell to...
So I can't create a utility company?
Anybody want to be in my utility company?
I know this is hard, so just quit.
Woo Hoo, my tax dollars at work.
Results from 2005...
What is 2008 going to bring? 10 gigawatts?
2009 100 gigawatts?
Wait a second, the power grid won't support these numbers.
It is OK, congress is on vacation.
Great business plan. Pitch your idea to all of the venture capitalists in Silicon Valley. They will probably make you CEO of a trillion dollar venture.
You might use Hitler's underground bunkers to save on digging costs.
Applied Materials?
This is about First Solar.
Who cares that Applied Materials is making obsolete solar panels.
First Solar has the secret sauce. Nobody else can innovate, because it is hard.
And it will kill puppies.

I work at the Google in Tijuana. Rent is cheap 25 pesos a month. Of course they only pay 125000 pesos a month, but we don't get child care.

When I was making $90K, my take home was $50K. To take home $90k you need to make $150K.

It just occurred to me that with cloud computing, I can hack the defense satellite system. Holy pooh.
Another convenient package to be hacked. Their ten geeks against our 300,000,000 geeks. Who do you think will win?

Yeah, like electricity. The ice box was cheap, only an ice cube a day. Delivered by a horse drawn wagon, on the back of a man. Your nuts.
Move to Africa. Or the Brazilian rain forest. You can be barefoot and nude. Save the environment. Just don't shit in the woods.

Ordinary people like you? You don't have ten thousand dollars saved? 15 kw at 10 thousand dollars? 67 cents per watt? You think?
