Fucking Hell, These Sirens Have Got to Stop

[Shalome]

The number of US science and engineering graduates is falling compared to Europe, China, and India. Economists worry that this fact, coupled with outsourcing and the rise of overseas tech sectors may be the death knell of US sci-tech research dominance.

Xmax wireless allows ISPs to use filters to send a signal over already-allocated radio channels -- with a noticeable improvement in range. The system emits signals too weak to be picked up by normal antennas, but that can be picked out of the spectrum by special aerials which know where to listen, thus enabling dual-use of the channel.

Real-life Tron.

More News and Babe of the Day

Cell phone access indefinitely disabled in New York subway tunnels. No specific reason was given, but cell phones have been used to trigger bombs in the past.

Build your own hot air "pencil" for de-soldering components.

This news-gathering has been interrupted by the fact that police cars and helicopters are speeding to the block next to mine for the second time in the last hour. I live in downtown Long Beach in a rapidly gentrifying area.. but some of the residents are more averse to gentrification than others. I don't care what color you are or what your income level you're at, and as a sensitive culturally- and sociopolitically-aware liberal, I intellectually understand the socioeconomic reasons for the causes for the kind of behavior that requires the fucking LBPD to run to your house, sirens screaming, several times a night... but come on, man.. this is subfuckinghuman. You don't sell drugs where your kids live, you don't empty your goddamned trash can out the hole you tore in the window screen, you don't beat your kids or your spouse, you don't fucking wave a gun when someone tosses a verbal insult your way. It's beyond uncultured, it's beyond uncivilized, it's fucking caveman. Jesus christ, I just want to live in a neighborhood where people realize and respect that the humans around them are also humans just like them, and that Grand Theft Auto and gangsta rap, while they may be social mirrors, should not be social models to follow. Grow the fuck up, you bitches, so the police don't have to go squealing by my house and the ghetto birds can stop flying overhead and I can get some fucking sleep. I'm a selfish bitch that way. Fuck off.

I thought I would get that when I left utah, nope. people are just as ignorant out east as they are out west

Your rant reminded me of south Atlanta. Those are really bad area's--I hate just driving on the freeway down there sometimes.

I like to describe myself as an equal opportunity hater. I hate trash of any color. And it seems like you have plenty of that in your area.

I lived in Columbia for 5 years and St. Louis for 2, then got smart and headed for the land of year-round 72-degrees-and-sunny.

Someday I will be able to afford better neighbors.

We've decided to outsource all gang-activity in our neighbourhood to a shoal of plankton somewhere in the pacific.

Works like a charm, only the annual evaluations are a pain.
