Both Tarkovsky and Soderbergh have almost completely missed the point of Solaris, the book. The book is about communication, or failure to do so. It's a great book to read, highly recommend.

Just curious, but is there some sort of anti-car sentiment in the tech world in the Bay Area? Being from SoCal, I can't imagine living without my car and motorcycle. SF is just absolutely terrible for parking. But I wonder, do tech peo

This is an honest question, that maybe someone in SF could answer for me. I have been in SF several times, and I didn't like the city all that much, but that's just a personal preference. But in that area their are so many nice ci

Though unrelated to this post in particular, I figured I would post a method of finding dates that worked particularly well for me. Post a "Blind Date" message in the M4W section of CL. In the message describe your self as honestl

Class action lawsuits are the only way to deal with this! I have no experience in this area, but I know this is a good, reproducible lawsuit. I am willing to be a class rap, just contact me if interested. I think lostcolony, above, has a gr

AT&T has recently tried to charge me a leasing fee for my U-verse router. I called in and explained to the person on the phone that I own the router, and referred him to my first months statement were it specifically states that I paid

As a side note, if you live in San Diego, and like traveling to Mexico, get a Sentri Card. [1] It's worth it. With it you can drive from San Diego to TJ and back in 40 minutes. The wait at the border is cut from 3 hours to 5-10 minutes

You are right. What I meant is don't be a dick to cops if they are pulling you over for speeding. If they ask you how fast you were going, don't start reciting the 5th amendment. If they ask you if they can look in your trunk, jus

The only thing I would add to this is don't be a dick, you don't want them to have an excuse to arrest you. Ask in a nice and polite voice "Am I under arrest?" If the verbal answer from the police is anything but a short

Most public defenders (I only worked with San Diego and LA once) are pretty good, though overworked. Public defender positions in San Diego especially are very competitive, and you often get top notch lawyers. Federal Defender positions are

Repsilat, you are mistaken. There is never any benefit to talking to the police (as a suspect). If you are a witness to the crime, and want to do your civic duty, be my guest. But as a suspect the cops are not at all interested in what you

My guess is they would have held on to his Google Glass, verified that no movies were recorded, and returned it to him. They would not be able to arrest him without evidence. Could they falsify some evidence, like claiming that a "witn

Windows 2000 was a good stable system, but it was hard to find it on laptops, and it was targeted to the corporate world, not consumers. You could not go out to a store an buy a Windows 2000 desktop or a laptop. You had to order a business

Here is what you need to do if you are ever in this situation: 1. Ask "Am I under arrest?" 2. If the answer is anything other than "Yes" ask "Can I leave now?" 3. If the answer is anything other than "No,&

This is a terrible advice! NEVER talk to the police. I have seen a lot of innocent people talk themselves into an arrest. Sure, none of them got convicted, but they spent a lot of time in the court system and thousands of dollars on attorne

Windows 8 suffers from the problem of not knowing what it wants to be. I like the Apple approach of having a hard division between OSX and iOS, because touch interface is inherently different from one that’s keyboard and mouse driven. Someo

This must be somehow hardware related. I went through 5 rMBPs, because I got bad screens 5 times in a row. There is an entire 600 page thread on that as well. That being said, none of the 5 had this problem. Does it do the same thing with a

Obama = Change. Change = same shit, different day. Obama has basically said that he knew about all of this, and he was ok with everything the government was doing. However, now that it's all public knowledge, he thinks that we need cha

The overprescription of antibiotics is indeed a problem. But notice, it's still a problem, even though you can only get antibiotics with prescription. This is mostly due to the fact that many doctors, and most veterinarians I have ever

How about open sourcing the tool. Release the tool as a self hosted solution, and let any one who wants to host it, host it. Or just use for their own purposes. I am not sure if that could get them in trouble, as I am not sure what crazy pr

Hmm, I did not know that about Povo. I am religious my self, but of the live and let live, nondenominational, type. I would not want to live in a place where people try to convert me all the time. That's something to consider.

You're preaching to the choir. I made that argument. Personally I would move to Povo, Utah (not well research, so don't judge if Povo actually sucks). I like the nature and the climate of Utah better. But Austin is perfect for goi

Yeah, I totally agree. If you have kids or family, this is probably not the route to go. I am personally not a fan of Kansas City. My buddy did not have family when he decided to move from San Diego to Kansas City, so it was easy for him. H
