  1. Re:Rent, Environment, Etc. on On Keeping Geeks in a Metropolitan Area · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. Usually when one is not being paid enough here in SF/SV you send out your resume/hit a few career sites/get in contact with a head hunter/check craigslist.org for a week and then take the best offer out of atleast 3. I pay $2500/mo. for a 2 bedroom apt. in the hills of SF and have plenty of leftover. Also eat out regularly too, best restaurants in the world. Apparently you did something wrong. Also within less than ten minutes drive are some of the most beautiful natural areas in the world. Snow? Freezing rain? not familiar with those, heard of them but not sure what they are. Oh unless I go up to Tahoe to ski. Sure there is a major Earthquake every ten years or so, hmmm blizzards that last several days to a 30sec 7.8. As long as you're not in the Marina District or on the eastern span of the Bay Bridge you'll be fine. After Loma Prieta in '89 SF has done a very good job a getting ready.
    Lived on the East Coast far too long too many rednecks and grownup jocks in their firebirds. Will never go back, not for millions. Can get those here anyway, LinuxCare IPO anyone. or better yet palm computing.

  2. Everyone drops the ball sometime, 1st Lucas, Katz on "Trekkies" the Movie: The Other Force · · Score: 1

    Phantom Menace showed Lucas has been concentrating computer animation for the last 15years not directing movies. If anyone else had made the exact same badly directed movie, ala Wing Commander, everyone would be tearing him to shreds.

    And Katz that was the most biased journalistic irresponsibility you've ever typed, lets hope its the low point of your career.
