The simple answer is for the tech companies to move. There are a lot of places that are nice that they could move to. Texas: Austin, Dallas, and Houston are all thriving areas with a large tech presence. Florida: Orlando, Melbourne, Tampa Bay area, and Palm Bay all have large tech companies not to mention NASA, UCF, and UF in Gainesville is not far away. In south Florida you have pretty much all of the south east Florida coast including Boca Raton the home of the PC. From Port St. Lucie south you have a lot of reasonable housing and a lot of biotech moving in as well. North Carolina: The research triangle is pretty nice and home to Red Hat and SAS. Or go crazy and head up to places like Kalispell MT which a great place to live and if you are into skiing you might like the winters. Not to mention the availability of near by wind power. Or buy up large areas of Detroit and build or renovate lots of old housing. Lots of great places to live in the US with low costs of living the fixation of the SF area isn't that healthy for industry. Frankly I fear the over abundance of wealth and venture capital in that one area is why you see lot of odd ball startups that fail while there maybe a group of really smart people in the University of Montana that have a really good idea that can not get funding.
Pretty much. They are also removing the heartbeat feature as well support for some other operating systems in their fork. In other words it is a PR grab.
Once Circuit Cellar was gone Byte was on a death watch. I blame the PC really for Bytes death since it limited subject matter that made money and there were a number of PC mags that covered just the PC. In the early days you had Apple IIs, Tis, Commodores, Ataris, TRS-80s, Cocos, Sinclairs, a huge number of CP/Ms machines, PCs, and even 86 based machines that were not PC compatible like the Tandy 2000, Zenith 100, DEC Rainbow, and Ti Pro. Then you hand systems like the Altos and Sage. Later you had the Mac, Amiga, and Atari ST. It was just a lot more diverse and interesting then. Today the only place that is really interesting is the mobile space and maybe GPU compute.
ahh. The evasion of responsibility. If you take no stand you can not be blamed. You say that abortion should be legal but what limits do you feel should be placed on it? Ten days? 260 days? Where should the line be? I assume you vote so you will vote for laws or law makes that will set those limits so you are still taking a stand or do you just not vote?
"In the US, mothers have legal authority to terminate a pregnancy up to 90 days after conception, for any reason. Depending on the state, some restrictions may apply after the first 90 days. Whether this is a "right" or is "moral" is something that people disagree about." That is not an answer but an evasion. If what is right or moral is flexible and you are okay with that then would you have a problem with that times being set to 0? or 180 days? As a member of a democratic society it is up to each member to try and set those laws so that they are moral, right, or at least best for society. If every person decides what is moral or right then it becomes meaningless. Every person is moral and right because nobody does what they feel is not moral, right or at least justified. And everyone may be judged as immoral by any individual which opens up a lot of other issues. .
Society is all about the population deciding what rights people do and do not have. So when does the right of a parent to terminate a life of an embryo/fetus/child end? While you may argue that an embryo is not a "person" you must agree that it is alive. Is their a term of pregnancy, or viability? You are right that it would be immoral for you as an individual to make the rules but it is not imoral for society to create rules.
"1. Obviously, better education. The causes of autism should be taught in high school health and/or biology classes." We do not know all of them so sure at some point. "2. If women are going to drink soda pop instead of fruit juice, maybe we should put the folic acid in the soda." It is already in cereal and bread products. http://womenshealth.gov/public... "3. Provide cheap and widely available pregnancy tests, so women know sooner. The cost of providing these test would be WAY less than the societal costs of dealing with autistic kids." They seem pretty cheap to me at least in the US. "4. Develop a prenatal test for autism, so parents can have the option to terminate the pregnancy. Social conservatives will love this." Wow since autism is not always crippling do you really think this is close to a good or moral idea? Suppose being transgender or even gay was found to be testable would you be okay with that being a reason to terminate a pregnancy? A great number of autistic people now lead happy productive lives if the issue found early enough and they get the right education.
It is genetic, which is hard for patents to deal with. It is so much simpler to for a person to blame a big evil company than to hear that they passed on a "defect" to their child. Of course the parents are not to blame but that doesn't mean that they will not blame themselves or that others will not blame them.
The safety regulations are no the issue it is the liability regulations that are. The finally passed some laws to put a tail on it but for a long time Piper could, did face, and lost a lawsuit because a plane built in the 1940s or 1950s failed to meet modern safety standards. I imagine someone taking GM to court because their 57 Chevy didn't have air bags? Cessna lost a case because the sliding seat latch in a 30+ year old aircraft failed.
Sure on a night with a full moon you may see just fine. On a night with no moon and when it is overcast good luck. Also I live in Florida and in some areas I have hiked in even if it no overcast and there is no moon you are in trouble because of of the tree canopy. Full moon on sugar sand trails you are golden. It is so bright that you can read by it. Back to the roads. I have driven from Mobile AL to Jackson Ms at night in the winter and I can tell you that those roads are darker than dark and just nerve racking even at the legal speed limit.
The statement is about a solution for a group. The simple truth is that your not going to solve the problem of unemployment in West Virginia if you stop all coal mining by trying to teach the coal miners to code. A few might but it will not be a solution. The real truth is that if you do shut down the coal mines "not going to happen" you will have massive unemployment. Towns will become ghost towns, people will move away, schools will close, people will default on their homes, and businesses will shut down. The only way to prevent this would be for new jobs to move in exactly as the mines shut down. You would need to get companies to put in manufacturing or some other kind of mining in sync with shutting down the mines. Good luck with that.
That is one reason I am really disappointed with Motorola being sold off, I was hopping that it would be a new start to manufacturing in the US. I would also love to see the US Gov do more to help the General Aviation industry. Most GA planes where made in the US and support a lot of really good paying jobs at FBOs and small airports across the country. Think of General Aviation as a good way to take money from the upper class and spread to to the middle class.
The coal mines will not shut down because they have the political perfect storm as a tool. The coal mines are usually in states with republican reps. The miners are in unions so they have the democrats that are pro union to support them. So both parties will support coal for a very long time.
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are private groups not the government. You could also throw in all girl schools, women's colleges, and "traditionally" black colleges. Sometimes groups and organizations that are specific to a gender can be beneficial. I am not so sure that the same holds true for race but that is debatable.
99% of the users of Dropbox will not care and for a large number of potential users she will provide sense of legitimacy. Goodbye paranoid trouble makers that use the free service, hello companies that pay for the service. I fear that some members of the tech crowd think they have more power than they really do,
It is all about relative frames of references. Think about this. When we think of the solar system we imagine the sun sitting still and the planets going around it. However the Sun does not sit still it is moving around the center of the galaxy more or less. When you are sitting at your desk you think that you are sitting still but you are not.
Everyplace is the center of the universe and no place is the center of the universe. However the idea of limiting your frame of reference to just the earth is just dumb and really should not be done when dealing with anything off the earth like the planets and the Solar system.
True it is a great idea but I would use Chrome over Firefox but that is just me. BTW not political but because I really like Chrome. And depending on how old the machines are Windows 8.1 might be a good options. It is supposed to run on slower hardware than Vista and 7. Sometimes at work the path of least resistance is the way to go. Remember that OpenOffice and Libre Office are not 100% compatible with Microsoft Office. Good luck and I hope you can get it to work out but have a fall back.
It also kind of weakens the argument that OpenSource is more secure because of the idea of many eyes. I guess no one started to look for about two years.
So a program that would pay basketball programs for having more white players would be okay? How about one for straight male fashion designers? Sorry but this is discrimination in the form of incentives. I would rather see money spent on putting good tech teachers and technology in low performing schools so you help everyone in an area to have greater opportunities. I agree that teachers need to provide the same opportunities to everyone but putting a bounty on one group will by it's very nature cause that group to get preferential treatment. I often wonder if the the cultural issues are more the women not going into tech at an early age vs men. Hopefully people like Jerry Ellsworth and Marissa Mayer cand help turn that around.
Actually the Earth is the center of the Universe. Every place is the center of the Universe. AKA theory of relativity. Of course it at also is not the center of the Universe or even the center solar system once you expand your frame of reference.

My mistake then.
And California gave us Charles Manson and.... Well San Francisco.

Not me I have one near me. They could build another and I would be fine with it. Just don't build a coal fired plant anywhere please.
And Germany imports it at night. Also Germany is build new COAL plants while shutting down nuclear....
Dubm.
Except that vaccines have nothing to do with Autism.

True but office compatibility with office tends to be better than OO or LO.
Not really since this is money to teachers in public schools.
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are private groups not the government.
You could also throw in all girl schools, women's colleges, and "traditionally" black colleges.
