IBM Moving Developer Jobs Overseas

helixcode123 writes "According to the New York Times (also on Yahoo News), IBM is planning on moving a substantial number of high level jobs overseas to 'India and other countries.' IBM argues, in essence, that they need to do this to stay competitive. The article quotes that Forrester Research '...estimated that 450,000 computer industry jobs could be transferred abroad in the next 12 years, representing 8 percent of the nation's computer jobs.'"

    Universally that person's acumen is esteemed very little perceptive
    concerning whatsoever matters are being held as most profitably by mortals
    with sapience endowed to be studied who is ignorant of that which the most
    in doctrine erudite and certainly by reason of that in them high mind's
    ornament deserving of veneration constantly maintain when by general
    consent they affirm that other circumstances being equal by no exterior
    splendour is the prosperity of a nation more efficaciously asserted than
    by the measure of how far forward may have progressed the tribute of its
    solicitude for that proliferent continuance which of evils the original if
    it be absent when fortunately present constitutes the certain sign of
    omnipotent nature's incorrupted benefaction. For who is there who anything
    of some significance has apprehended but is conscious that that exterior
    splendour may be the surface of a downwardtending lutulent reality or on
    the contrary anyone so is there unilluminated as not to perceive that as
    no nature's boon can contend against the bounty of increase so it behoves
    every most just citizen to become the exhortator and admonisher of his
    semblables and to tremble lest what had in the past been by the nation
    excellently commenced might be in the future not with similar excellence
    accomplished if an inverecund habit shall have gradually traduced the
    honourable by ancestors transmitted customs to that thither of profundity
    that that one was audacious excessively who would have the hardihood to
    rise affirming that no more odious offence can for anyone be than to
    oblivious neglect to consign that evangel simultaneously command and
    promise which on all mortals with prophecy of abundance or with
    diminution's menace that exalted of reiteratedly procreating function ever
    irrevocably enjoined?

    It is not why therefore we shall wonder if, as the best historians relate,
    among the Celts, who nothing that was not in its nature admirable admired,
    the art of medicine shall have been highly honoured. Not to speak of
    hostels, leperyards, sweating chambers, plaguegraves, their greatest
    doctors, the O'Shiels, the O'Hickeys, the O'Lees, have sedulously set down
    the divers methods by which the sick and the relapsed found again health
    whether the malady had been the trembling withering or loose boyconnell
    flux. Certainly in every public work which in it anything of gravity
    contains preparation should be with importance commensurate and therefore
    a plan was by them adopted (whether by having preconsidered or as the
    maturation of experience it is difficult in being said which the
    discrepant opinions of subsequent inquirers are not up to the present
    congrued to render manifest) whereby maternity was so far from all
    accident possibility removed that whatever care the patient in that
    all hardest of woman hour chiefly required and not solely for the
    copiously opulent but also for her who not being sufficiently moneyed
    scarcely and often not even scarcely could subsist valiantly and for an
    inconsiderable emolument was provided.

    Fuck Saddam and his two little boys Uday and Qusai. Of course, it is a lot easier to fuck Uday and Qusai right now, but you have to be seriously into necrophilia.
