Anyone hackers here residing in Macau?

I only know marketing agencies there, but haven't run into any groups of either hardware or software hackers. Would be interested to find out what is there as well.

I agree, that's why I want to start a hacker group in Macau

I've been in Hong Kong for a year and a half. As a city, it's quite nice. Low taxes, extremely safe, vibrant culture. Pollution is really the biggest downside for me (you get used to the # of people quickly, and I'm from a small city and I hate people so...) However, professionally speaking? Forget about it. It's a horrible place for programmers. In the last couple months I've met with 2 entrepreneurs looking to move…

Hey,latch,you seem to want to pay top programmers with noodles.How do you want this to work out?HK does have 2 of the top colleges in the world for CS,so I do believe there should be some people,that would be interested in startups.But maybe the problem is in the startups,in which those people may not see enough value or prospects.
