Austin also has plenty of other high-tech companies around. But that air conditioning bill will be mighty high . . .
Although I seem to remember that Intel started building something there, but stopped went the Internet bubble busted. The local folks called empty frame. "Intel NOT inside . . . "
But if this here factory is already bakin' chips . . . that's sumtin' different.
Unfortunately, a lot of charities have obscenely high administrative overheads, which means much of the money goes to lawyers fees, office rental in high rent districts, gala charity donation parties (granted, they pay for themselves) and other PR work. The Economist had a piece on this a while back. Even some of the UN agencies and a Lady Diana Charity Fund were some of the worse offenders.
Hey, whoever said "Charity begins in the home" was probably right . . . if you give close to home, you'll be able to see for yourself where it is going.

"Let's get ignorance off the streets of America and back into Congress where it belongs!"
Why can't these Congress folks just contact a University in their constituency for advice in such matters? Professors would love to get the opportunity to advise Congress for free. Great PR for the school and their department.
The Congress folks can brag about the local "technical expertise" and that the constituency will benefit with economic growth, more jobs, and free coke and hookers for all . . .
They could take a burger that was made in the shop, spray it with some kind of preservative / sealant, and put it out on display. I've seen this done in cafeterias. Then you know that, what you see, is what you're gonna get.
"Jediism" would be a bad choice if you were deployed in a Muslim area. It might look too much like "Judaism" to a captor with limited English skills. That would qualify you for "special" treatment. Jewish-American soldiers in WWII deployed in Europe faced the same dilemma.
Now in Germany today, when the taxman asks what your religion is, the best answer is "none." Because if you give an answer, so-called "Church Taxes" are levied on your pay check. I don't know if the Czech Republic has such taxes. Maybe that was the motivation for giving a wacky answer?
. . . so do they use GPS, or do they "feel" their way across a programmed landscape? The V-1 was just pointed in the direction of London, and had some kind of timer / distance gadget hooked up to a tiny propeller.
Now if someone builds a portable version of this spoofer, for use near a busy airport . . . uh-oh . . .
They will be out there in space in rubber boats, harassing NASA's comet hunting boat by throwing stinky paint at it, etc . . .
Although Bob Barker's last anti-whaling boat did look kinda sorta like a spacecraft already . . .
And NASA claims the comet hunting is for research purposes only. Ha! We all know better than that! The comet pieces will end up in the same place as all those "missing" moon rocks that Apollo brought back . . . in the free open rock market!
It's high time that the international community join together to ban this blood sport on endangered celestial bodies. Comets are scare and harpooning them will lead to their extinction.
When was the last time that you saw a comet in the wild?
Just convince the oil companies that there are billions of billions of barrels of oil down there on the border. They just need to frack it enough to get it out.
Frack it really hard.
All that fracking ought to make tunnel building a bit uncomfortable.
. . . will be a Mexican drug cartel. Hey, that's where the money is to be made, and will attract he best and brightest, and be able to invest the most money in the new technology.
Wow! Won't that be ironic . . . the first stuff to boldly go . . . will be drugs.
But the thought of them coming back to life and, umm, redying on an annual basis has got me confused and a little disturbed.
Dead folks vote in elections in every state of the Union. In each election, they tend to vote early, and vote often. Dead folks also cash their social security checks.
They are a very influential part of the electorate, so I'd be mindful of talking kindly about them . . . them being dead, and all.
Their scientists are under a lot of pressure from the government Mullahs to finally get that bomb finished. Faced with insurmountable technical problems, the scientists decided to make it look like their project was sabotaged by their enemies: Israel and the US. So they wrote a virus and infected themselves with it.
So now their scientists have some more time, and the Mullahs are happy, because they can play the thing up with their own people and the international theater.
Ditto on that US drone thingie.
If you don't like that one, I'll half-bake another wacko conspiracy theory the next time this story pops up again.
Maybe I could make the "27 Club" responsible . . . ? Robert Johnson, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse are not really dead, but are writing viruses on Marlon Brando's island near Tahiti . . .
I was told in an electronics store that there are supply problems with digital cameras as well. The Canon S100 was supposed to be a big Christmas hit. Amazon in the country where I live has already warned that it will probably not be available until next year.
Good news for some of the competitors models. So I don't think that this is just price jacking . . . Canon would love to sell these, but can't.
. . . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_2000 . . . I'm surprised that this hasn't been used earlier. I always figured that the Japanese would be the first to come up with these. Imagine a shop window display with Anime-like chicks moving around like they are real.
Plastic surgeons would start offering "Sailor Moon"-jobs . . .

Violate, with extreme prejudice.
