Well, just to poke the bear and keep this highly entertaining dust-up alive
(aka stirring the ****) I'll point out that North Carolina's Research
Triangle is every bit as much a "hightech mecca" as California's Silicon
Valley or Oregon's Silicon Forest or Washington's whatever cutsie tech
nickname they use for the Micro$oft HQ area. In each case those areas make
up only a small portion of their respective states, are not the driving
force of the state's economy, and do not make up anything approaching a
majority of the workforce in their states. So a strong case can be made that
the west coast is not materially more "hightech" than North Carolina.

Sadist.

And you forgot Chambana's own "Silicon Prairie", the high-tech
mecca of the midwest.

I hate to contribute to extending this waste of electrons, but I think
the point was "why post the west coast #s" if he thought that Opie was
saying that he was the one living in the high-tech region.

I don't personally think that where I live qualifies as a high-tech
mecca. Silicon Valley, absolutely. You can't cross the street without
running into a high-tech company there. Where I live, there is really
only one major high-tech company. It's debatable, but I can't even get
the two stooges to read a simple sentence let alone debate something
more subtle.
EOT for me, I promise.

Last I remember, you were that one who said that one couldn't live without a
million dollars at retirement. So, life must be about money, right?


I don't remember saying that, but if you say so, it must be true. I
believe I said something along the lines that if you did not have a
million when you were 65 that you haven't planned your life very well.
And, it takes no imagination for anyone to believe that your life is
pure luck, bad at that, without much planning at all.

Let's see..... you are studying for a master's degree, correct? And,
when you get it, will you *then* be the highest paid janitor in North
Cackelacky? How 'bout going on for a PhD in hamburgerology from
McDonalds?



Op --rw was right. you do try to stir up **** with each visit to ROFF!--


Well, I sure as hell didn't start this dumbass thread, which is what
is stirring up the ****.


If you weren't interested in dumbass threads, then you wouldn't have
participated in a thread with the SUBJECT: For Joe, Ken J. and all
*disinterested parties*, now would you have?


Yeah, but it is so much fun seeing you spend your entire life, what
there is of it, here on roff, bitching and moaning about something
that someone said about you.

Dave, you're just another moron to spank.


I bet you'd like to spank me, but I'm not into that, Mark. Try, uh,
welllll, you-know-who. I betcha he'd like it. d;o)

Someone said that it does?

Silicon Valley, absolutely.


Well, yeah, if you believe the rumors.

You can't cross the street without running into a high-tech
company there.


Hm......maybe they should get a couple more streets.

Where I live, there is really
only one major high-tech company.


Nary a one in my house.......but then, we've got lots of streets here in
Curdistan.

It's debatable,


What's debatable?

but I can't even get
the two stooges to read a simple sentence let alone debate something
more subtle.


Mark and I haven't fared any better at getting them to read a simple
sentence. What chance could you possibly have? And "stooges" is certainly
the right term.......hell, one of them WROTE it and he STILL doesn't have
any clue of what it says.

EOT for me, I promise.


Excellent! One less dumbass to contend with in one thread. I know, it
ain't much, but a start is always at least that.

Wolfgang
of course, it'll always crop up again somewhere else. vigilance and
tenacity remain the best defenses......well, that and a command of the
language.
