Whither America's Technological Edge?
baldass_newbie asks: "Ben Stein wrote an editorial titled, 'How to Ruin American Enterprise'. To me, technological innovation is a big outward sign of a successful economy. Sometimes it appears like the U.S. is losing its edge in technology. Well, I was wondering what the Slashdot community at large thinks is wrong (or right) with the U.S. and technological innovation?" The article deals less with technology and more with the society on which said innovation is based, and the problems that may bring it down around our collective ears. Give the article a read, and share your thoughts on whether or not you think it's an accurate assessment on the current and future situation of America's technological advantage.
We also lead the pack in huge penises. At least, I do. Or that's what Taco's mom has said, and she's seen A WHOLE LOT penises in her time. Mostly black ones though.
It doesn't count since we're not a communist state full of a bunch of slant-eyed pan-faced yellow-skinned littledicks still glowing from the bomb we dropped on them. We also don't sell used diapers in vending machines or whatever those pedophile scat tentacle-raping faggots are into. And we don't live in shoeboxes and kill our daughters and DAMNIT we love our families more than the company we work for! Fuckers.
They should quit putting their research into technology and look into penis enlargement technology, because I understand those gook have really small dicks.
You know what? I'm not putting away $15,000 a year for my son's college tuition for nothing.
He will go to either Stanford or Carnegie Mellon and major in EE or CS. Then he'll graduate and hopefully get a job with a Fortune 500 company as an IT specialist/consultant.
I don't want this constant contracting-out of IT jobs and project to India. Why is Microsoft over there courting the Indians? Because there's talent, and they're hungry, and oh, they work for $5.00 a day.
So please, if any of you are in significant positions in technology companies in the northeast or out in California, I urge you to keep jobs at home. Just look here at the Slashdot crowd -- most of us are unemployed, or currently in college. The job market is tough right now and only getting tougher.
I will not let my kid go to medical or law school, so he must be an engineer. But I sure as hell hope there is still a tech industry in America by the time he graduates in 2014.
hmmm, let's see, now
Who invented the transistor ?
Dunno. I believe it was in the US.
Who started the computer industry?
Some Brit named Turing made the first programable computer.
Some German named Von Neuman had started laying out the theory.
Who invented nuclear power?
Italians.
- Who put human beings on the moon and then brought them back safely 6 times ?
Germans. With US funds, though.
Your point was ?
oh puh-leeeeze! Everything here is a stretch, at best. Especially that last one, it may as well say "TROLL" in flashing neon lights. Speaking of stretch, I have your mom's anus stretched around my huge cock. The flesh is starting to tear and the blood is working as a lube, and it's really turning me on. Blood, feces, and sperm. Now that's a recipe for love!
don't be bitter because we and the big blacksnaked niggers are raping and seducing your women left and right.
Once the multiculturists (read: cultural marxists) infect engineering and science curriculums, it's definitely over at the university level in America. Up until now, it's been mostly the liberal arts and humanities that have been poisoned with this stupid brand of "liberalism". Once they get their tentacles into the hard sciences, you can kiss any innovation goodbye.
If you think this is just some silly conspiracy theory, you either are willfully blind or you are not paying attention. They have already been successful in replacing classics with texts that push Marxist theology.
