Well cayenne8...Unpleasant distractions in a job can make a job...well, unpleasant. Take me for example, I'm a developer who does a lot of analytical problem solving. Yet, I'm almost constantly distracted by the big-mouthed middleware guy who sits in the adjacent cubical and talks on the phone all day with a loud annoying voice. I wear 30db headphones sometimes, which help. I even asked to be moved to another cubical but I have to wait on an answer because the company may be moving to a nearby town in a few months, anyway. Also, most of us spend more the our waking hours of our lives at work than outside of work. My point is that people who feel ostracized or uncomfortable in their work environment are dealing with distractions...and distractions can impact work performance and/or physical/mental health.
Also, If everyone decides to move in to just a few states because they have great healthcare, those states will eventually be overburdened and then it will suck to live in those states too.
I used to have an Apple ][+. I sold it back in the mid '90s. In retrospect, I wish I'd kept it for nostalgic purposes. I wonder what that would be worth now.
Maybe what we need are more scientists with public relations skills...people like Neil De Grass Tyson, who can dumb down concepts to a level the general public can understand without appearing condescending or threatening. It would help to also better educate the general public on matters of science. Then it would be easier to meet half-way.
If it weren't for the U.S. having multiple aircraft carriers, the modern-day world might be divided into two different super-powers...Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany.
I've been programming as an employed Java web app developer for a few years. If hypothetically, there is another company looking to hire for a Scala developer position, would it be a good idea to take it? Assume no previous Scala experience is required and the company is willing to fully train on said language. Assume its also a great company

NO
I hate UPS. Their nearest pickup/dropoff location to me is 35 miles away. For any special delivery instructions, you have to pay a membership fee + a charge for each package you want delivered per instructions. Fedex pickup/dropoff locations, on the other hand, are ubiquitous and there's one just 1 mile from my house.

I was expecting something that resembled the Deathstar, complete with a 3-meter wide exhaust port.

Let's book seminars at MSU on the *science* of telekinesis, cryptozoology, UFOs, astrology, and seances.
A cursory look on ebay shows vintage Apple 2 selling for as much as $500. Apple 3 selling for over $1K.
Also, I remember seeing an Apple 3 at the bank where my father worked back in the '80s.

Just like the movie Gattaca

I like the name MOM but I would prefer the name MILF
Gawd dun it.
That's why I prefer to use a VPN
Why is this marked +1 informative? It should be +1 funny.
This is great news and honestly, its the best news I've had today.
I guess OpenVPN would be out of the question. I'm installing mine on a Rasberry Pi running Rasbian.

Some day, we bald apes are going stop our petty squabbles. Nah! Who am I kidding.
It could happen....with nukes.

Reading the summary, I had flashbacks of Jim Carrey's Firemarshal Bill
Instead of having merely a kill-switch, how about something that will blow up in their faces and decapitate them?
Yes, lets blow off the scientific process in favor of teaching about 900 year-old men, a talking donkey and a man who lives inside a fish/whale.
