A big part of the reason Silicon Valley nightlife is limited is that it has a strong outdoor recreation culture. A lot of geek/amateur athletes are out enjoying the daylight hours instead of staying out at night. There is a lot to do -- but only if you are into hiking, biking, running, skiing, surfing, windsurfing, kayaking, sports, etc.
For any single geeks who are having a hard time meeting women in Silicon Valley, spend some of your free time hanging out up in San Francisco. There are a lot more single women there.
Strange example to cherry pick. The North First Street area isn't one of the hotspots of Silicon Valley creative culture. It's an overzoned region of boring, mediocre-skilled IT jobs.
To be more exact, the future of Proposition 71 funding of stem cell research is in question. There is still other stem cell research going on in California, and the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine has started doing private fundraising, having raised $30 million so far:
I've almost gotten into an auto accident before because I was futzing around with my iPod's click wheel, trying to select a new podcast to listen to. Can I sue?
If we're going to get into tallying up money spent for us indirectly by the government, their spending money on widely used, if mediocre, office software is hardly something to complain about compared to taxpayer money spent on, oh say, invading Iraq.
But if he wants a real shot at getting elected, he had better have a plan to get his face seen on TV, get endorsements, get on the radio, put up yard signs, flood the voters with mailers, get volunteers working the precincts door to door, and all the other old-fashioned tactics.
Good point. I don't feel that I'm addicted to the Internet, just because many of my daily activities involve the Internet. I do feel like I spend too much time glued to a computer screen, though. I wish there was more variety of machine interface. Maybe some of my Internet activities wouldn't have to involve sitting at a keyboard staring at a monitor.

If NASA isn't using the land, shouldn't the Federal government give it back to the people or sell it, thereby generating revenues to offset the national debt? NASA is supposed to be doing aerospace research and space exploration. It's not part of NASA's charter to get into terrestrial real estate development.
The California Assembly's 2005-2006 legislative session ended last Friday. If I understand the rules correctly, that means the bill died on the same day. If so, was discussion of the bill purely grandstanding?
Whenever there is something of value, common or not, and there are human beings around, there is a possibility of a tragic misuse of that something of value. Government, too, is an unreliable manager of common resources, dominated by short-term political thinking. There isn't any magic solution.
And don't confuse free markets with U.S. corporations, which enjoy all sorts of subsidies, protections, and shielding of their managers from responsibility for their own actions.
I feel the same way. I've been trying from within to change the Libertarian Party to be more mainstream and welcoming of moderate people. I'm even a candidate in today's election after runnign against and defeating a kooky Libertarian in the primary.
TV commercials are mostly annoying, but they did contribute a bit to pop culture. I've noticed that jokes and other conversational references to TV commercials go right over the heads of my friends who have a Tivo. Their (admittedly minor) loss.

Let's see, looks like it's now the 21st Century. Go with the IDE.

It would be wonderful if we could even get people with differing opinions to acknowledge the same facts.
If we're going to get into tallying up money spent for us indirectly by the government, their spending money on widely used, if mediocre, office software is hardly something to complain about compared to taxpayer money spent on, oh say, invading Iraq.
Oh, bullshit. Nobody has ever compelled you to spend even one cent of your money on Microsoft products. You chose to do so.

The general public of Massachusetts has an opinion about OpenDocument?
The real honest-to-gosh scientists are just reporting the results of their experiments. Other people, not scientists, are advocating solutions.
Huh? Is there a connection between this Dennis Hope guy and Libertarians? Besides, in your mind, I mean.

Sounds like the prospectors are mostly a threat to the "real" scientists' grant money.
