------- Forwarded foolishness follows -------
You know you are from Silicon Valley when...
You make $180,000 a year, yet still can't find a place to live.
Your commute time is 45 minutes and you live 8 miles away from
work.
Stop asking how much things cost but ask "How long will it
take?"
Two-thirds of the people you know are from Boston or New York,
but you are living in PST.
Know vast differences between Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese,
Japanese, Cantonese, Filipino, and Korean food.
Your home computer contains mostly hardware/software that is not
on the consumer market yet.
Go to "The City" on weekends but don't live there because you
like your car.
Think that "I'm going to Fry's" is an acceptable excuse to leave
the office for a while, and your boss does too.
Lost your alarm clock. You'll get to work when you get there.
Go to an industrial-heavy-metal bar and see two guys get into a
fight over what flavour of UNIX is better.
Own more than 10 articles of clothing that have
hardware/software companies printed on them. Bonus for
embroidered stuff.
"Your best buys..." you know the rest.
You know where Woz Way, Resistor Ave, and Floppy Dr are located.
You know who Woz is.
You know 280 North runs west, and 680 N runs East.
Even though Microsoft employs quite a few programmers in the Bay
Area, the company is still the embodiment of Satan.
Even if their stock IS worth more than yours.
You see a billboard that says "FGPA2ASIC" and aren't phased.
When you need the updated Diamond Monster 3D drivers, you just
walk across the street.
You have more bandwidth in your apartment or condo than most
major universities.
You scan yardsales for back issues of "Dr. Dobbs."
Your favorite computer reseller speaks only Cantonese.
Your workplace vending machines dispense "100% natural twig-
bars" right next to Jolt cola and Instant Espresso mix.
No one brings radios into work - they just use Xing Streamworks
and listen to kpig.com, rebelradio.com, or other out of state
stations.
