eevilspock: Actually, most people in Seattle are recent arrivals, irrespective of national origin.

"Of the people living Seattle itself, only 37% were born in WA, 44% another state, and 19% another country according to the 2006 census." http://www.city-data.com/forum/seattle-area/281766-transplan...

Bellevue: "more than 40 percent of its population a minority race or ethnicity in 2010." (https://www.bellevuewa.gov/demographics.htm)

Redmond: 20% nonwhite (http://redmond.areaconnect.com/statistics.htm)

Blacks are certainly underrepresented, I'll give you that, but everybody's talking as if African Americans are the only minority that counts... because it is a convenient strawman for propping up their arguments about the "whiteness", I suppose.

"the perfect place for people who enjoy a small social circle"

I think this is absolutely spot on. I'm pretty surprised about this line criticism from this forum. Nerds (or "hackers" in this case) are a generally introverted crowd, no?

It's not a good city if you're a brogrammer who wants to party like a rock star every night. That's totally fine by me. :)

In the same way that spatial manipulation of an object from the boundaries defined by its legal owner is considered theft.

What a dick.

Huh? Typing tutors should encourage speed, not rhythm. I should be rewarded for speed and accuracy.

Yes, for every single argument there are two equally valid sides.

Right.

Give me a goddamned break.

It's more than just the games. The laws are effectively sanctioning violence against gays.

The BT phone bridges that sales and marketing seem to enjoy so much (whyyyyy) are a recurring cost that dwarfs this outlay.

Like accepting a shared password?

Sitting upright at a desk with a reasonably sized monitor placed at arm's length is much more ergonomic than curling over a tiny glossy screen.

Why do things have to be boiled down into winner-take-all narratives? I feel that the public has no capacity for nuance anymore.

Look, the tablet has its place - usually situations that don't require high-bandwidth HIDs such as keyboards. The computer user of the future will have many devices spanning many different form factors. It's OK.

That's a lot of invective, and a lot of falsehoods.

It makes me feel uneasy how reliant on Yahoo I have become and basically everyone else I know.

No, first party service support is better of course, but there are quite a few third party services that are cast-friendly.

Please, won't anybody think of the science?!

Good luck in your holy grail quest for that 100.000%.

Most of Siri's Watson-style smarts are just Wolfram Alpha queries, no?

How much would that case be worth to you?

Ten thousand fuckin' bucks.

They'll sell dozens!

I'll use this excuse when I gorge on halva just before going to bed.

Are you kidding? India and technology are highly related.

I know I won't be travelling to India on business anymore because of this. I don't want to be arrested.

That is Max Bell Alper of Occupy SF.

This is a fiction that was staged by the union organizers.

You must be smoking something that is making you way too paranoid.

It's Gawker's eHow, basically. http://lifehacker.com/wear-your-bathrobe-all-morning-long-to...

I guess you could say that those entrepeneurs' sleep patterns have been...

(straps on a big ugly Neuroon ski-mask thing)

_disrupted._

YEAHHH!

If I was a mod, I would relabel these submissions to "extend your e-penis in 0 lines of JS."
