If this passes then we would probably have no alternative but to not
allow the use of LinuxCNC in Washington State.
I see no way at all for LinuxCNC to comply. But I also see no way at
all to prevent the use of LinuxCNC in Wa.
Neither can I, Andy. Leave it to a lawyer who hasn't a clue how complex
a problem
that actually is.
Something in the water on the left coast that washes away anything that
resembles
common sense?
When I was still working, I was a CET who was placed at the tv station
as Chief Engineer
by a broadcast industry head hunter in '84. I had been to the left
coast a couple times so
I was familiar with the scene.
That same head hunter called me up in the later 90's and offered me that
chair at KTLA,
the #2 station in the country. I was then making around $50k here in
West Vrginia and
everything was running smoothly where I was.
At the time that was about $20k higher than similar sized stations were
paying. The offer
from KTLA was $125K. I thought about it for maybe 30 seconds and said
no. And I've
never regretted it.
I didn't feel like wearing armor to keep my back from growing knives for
however long it
might have lasted. My 3rd wife was born in a house about an air mile
from this one,
and transplanting her COPD to LA's legendarily bad air would have been a
death sentence.
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
