1/15    Wherever I go house hunting around the south bay I only bump into
        east and south asian couples or families.  I almost never see white
        prospective buyers. Where have all the white people gone?  This is
        not a racial troll.  I want to live in a diverse neighboord with a
        good school district.  $600-700K range.
        \_ spent some time helping parents househunt in same area with same
           criteria. reality comes down to "high asian population==good
           schools". correlation is very strong; i'm not going to make
           guesses as to existence of a causal relation in either
           direction. -whiteboy
           direction. -alexf[whiteboy]
           \_ exception: filipino population
                  \_ that's b/c typically, filipinos are the "asian trash"
                     of all asians, mostly b/c they've been dominated by
                     others for so long, especially the U.S. in the early
                     1900's.  That's why at alot of filipinos are so
                     exclusionist and demonstrate that by wearing that
                     sash as a group during the engineering commencements...
                     \_ That's funny, I never saw a sash.  Oh that's right
                        I went to Cal.
           \_ use a private school already
              \_ uh. incorrect. vast majority of the top-notch schools around
                 here are public. -alexf
              \_ An Asian-only private school would kick ass.  Like Lowell,
                 but private.

                \_ I wouldn't live in Contra "Cancer Belt" Costa County
                   \_ What do you mean by "Cancer Belt"?  urlP --sony
                      \_ n/m.  found it on google w/ "contra costa county
                         cancer belt" --sony
                   from the South.  They have the cutest accent!
                   \_ Who would?  Except white (and by that, white people who
                      only want to live with other white people) people?
                      \_ i grew up in the creek in the 80s and was happy
                         to see that diversity has continued to increase
                         on a recent holiday visit.  not much different
                         than half-decent parts of berkeley.  don't look at
                         nordstrom's to measure diversity.
           \_ "Where have all the [white] people gone...
               Long time in passing......."
        \_ lots of them in Tennessee, South Carolina, West Virginia...
           \_ ugh, WhiteTrashVille?
           \_ Yup.  I once spent four days in Memphis and saw less than ten
              asians there.
                \_ I don't know about you, but the coolest Asians are
                   from the South.  They have the most adorable accent!
                   \_ Indeed.
                   \_ Makes me want to hump them.

8/15    Do LCD monitors emit cancer-causing radiation like CRTs in the old
        days?  Wikipedia doesn't mention it.  Thx.
        \_ CRTs didn't emit cancer-causing radiation either.

        Sun Screens may be accelerating cancer. Ok, so plasticware in
        microwaves gives cancer. Cellphone gives cancer. Too much
        chlorine in the water gives cancer. What else is next,
        wearing cotton and eating wheat/corn gives cancer?
        \_ Eating too much soy gives you cancer. -dans

        \_ If you can see the white light, wouldn't you get exposed to
           enough deadly radiation to die?
           \_ Dying from cancer at age ninety-three, and more than six decades
              after the blasts, isn't exactly early death.

1/15    Now that Steve Jobs and Patrick Swayze are sick with
        pancreatic cancer, is pancreatic cancer going to become
        a cause celebre and get lots of research funding,
        far beyond what is actually justified by the magnitude
        of the actual problem?
