Fellow New Yorker here. Gainfull tech employment in NYC isn't too difficult these days. One of the more interesting places you can look for jobs in the New York New Media Association NYNMA. They have a bulletin board and job post site at

As for techie places to live... keep dreaming, besides the IMPOSSIBLE housing availability in the city right now (been looking for a decent apartment for 7 months now, still no luck), there really isn't any place thats geek centered. Well, unless you count the entire Manhattan Island;) But thats probably way out of most normal people's affordability range.
Anyways Michael, you can count me in for a beer or two, it would be great to meet a member of the geek community that isn't from Boston or CA (not that they are bad, I just can't afford to fly all over the damn country)
Speaking of which , is anyone up for planning a Slashdot NYC meet? There just aren't enough geek activities in this city. I once mentioned to Tim McEachern (the guy who organizes GeekPride Fest) that it seriously needs to schedule a stop in the big apple.I would sure as hell volunteer.

Thats pretty much the effect this "project" will have, out of the millions upon millions of mp3's on napster, the few dozen these morons spread aren't going to effect anyone. And besides, I love how all these people who never even touched a computer before are suddenly "mp3 savy" and act like Napster is the entire MP3 world. Everyone I know has built their mp3 collections from usenet and IRC.
