8/3     Saw interview with Congressman Issa few days ago.  He says hi income-
        producing businesses have left California.  Which businesses are those?
        \_ I seem to recall HP moved 500 jobs to TX.  Ah yes, here's a url:
           http://news.zdnet.co.uk/business/0,39020645,2129668,00.htm
        \_ All the tech industry jobs that moved to China, India, Colorado,
           Texas, North Carolina (Research Triangle), etc.
                \_ Plus TV & Movie production to places like Vancouver from
                        Hollywood.
        \_ That's "high income".  "hi income" would be income that you greet
           or that greets you.  "high income" is income that is the opposite
           of "low income".  As far as your question goes, maybe you haven't
           noticed the mass job losses going on all around you?  You must be
           in school because out here in the real world people in CA are
           hurting.  It's very bad.  Stay behind those ivory walls as long as
           you can.
           \_ I love how you get all pissy about sloppy spelling and then
              use a mixed metaphor.
        \_ SCO Executives & Lawyers (the only people making money off this
           IBM/Linux lawsuit silliness).  The "Santa Cruz Operation" is now
           run out of Utah.

2/7     Christopher Dorner is my hero.
        \_ "We are going to get this guy even if we have to shoot
            200 more women bystanders before we find him." -LAPD
            \_ THAT is awesome. LAPD is my hero.
        \_ Dang, they got him. He could have been a folk hero. -OP
                 \_ Yeah, and they got his drivers license twice.

5/27    Pharamcist convicted of first-degree murder for shooting at armed
        robberers:
        http://www.csua.org/u/tfk (news.yahoo.com)
        What the f**k!!??
        \_ Shooting the robber and leaving him on the floor unconscious was
           obviously self-defense.  Calmly returning to the store afterwards

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

8/29    OC turning liberal, maybe there is hope for CA afterall:
        http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/30/us/politics/30orange.html
        \_ and the state is slowly turning conservative. Meg 2010!
           \_ We will see. Seems unlikely.
        \_ Yeah, because CA sure has a problem with not enough dems in power!
           If only dems had been running the state for the last 40 years!

7/25    Is there a polite way to tell a recruiter "too busy at the moment
        but keep me in mind for future stuff."  Or  "not in that field at
        this exact moment but am switching positions over the next few
        months for your role, keep me in mind" ?  Thx.
        \_ You know what, recruiters have thick skins.  You won't hurt
           their feelings.  Go ahead, try, you can't possibly get them down.

        http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38217476/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts
        \_ I just bought a hot homeless teen runaway lunch.
           Am i going to jail?
           \_ Was she 18?
        \_ FYI people "MILF" doesn't always mean what you think it means.

7/5     I think this is the first time a CA cop has EVER been put on trial
        for murdering a black man.
        \_ Really?  CA cop, or CA white cop?
        \_ The case marked the first murder prosecution of an on-duty Bay Area
           police officer. Prosecutors rarely file charges against police for
           shootings. A Chronicle review of police use-of-force cases around

About 475 positions will be shifted to Houston, with workers in Roseville given priority for those openings. HP plans to maintain operations in Roseville, which is near Sacramento, and expects to have 4,000 workers at its campus there after the plant is closed. The company said there are no "blanket layoffs" associated with the Roseville closing, although HP is cutting thousands of jobs as part of its acquisition of Compaq Computer, with many of the cuts coming in its money-losing enterprise computing unit. Initially, HP said it planned to cut 15,000 jobs as part of the merger. In September, the computing giant upped the number of planned cuts to 16,800 and said in November that it would trim a further 1,100 jobs. The 300 HP employees and 200 temporary workers at the Roseville manufacturing plant will have the opportunity to transfer to Houston and will be eligible for relocation assistance, the company said. Temporary workers who transfer to Houston will have the opportunity to become regular employees, it added. HP workers will also be able to maintain their current salary level.
