  1. Re:Assuming there are other better jobs on The Dead Sea Effect In the IT Workplace · · Score: 1

    It used to be that when you hit 50 you had to worry. With regards to what you wrote, the age has now dropped to about 40, this is globalization. Good night, and good luck! From someone who has tremendous expertise and thought the same as you do.

  2. Re:a view from the "third world" on Globalization Decimating US I.T. Jobs · · Score: 1

    Third world, now that's a good phrase. I have lived in both the USA and Europe and most people associate that phrase with countries like Africa or some other desert or jungle place. One of the major problems with globalization is that it makes assumptions; one of those assumptions is that everything is equal but unfortunately it is not. As for your comment about your own government, well that is a point that America doesn't appear to understand. More and more people still try to enter the USA to live the "American dream" but the problem is that they are leaving their own countries and that is because their governments are doing anything to make their own countries better. Europe is very much like what you describe, political power joined by wealthy business people lead the markets the way that they want to, sales taxes around 20%, high personal with low business income taxes, etc.. In general, globalization would be better if the countries were more equal. Maybe a world committee should be formed to set the standards that every country must have putting the pressure on the politicians.

  3. Re:Email address? on US–EU Flight Talks Collapse · · Score: 1

    How true and not to mention how stupid. Who are these people that create these data specifications??? What they want the email for is easy to figure out, it's for eavesdropping. So I guess that a terrorist that wants to get into the USA will have to give them an email address from a "nice" account. Sounds to me like America is being handed over to the Central Unintelligence Agency. I have met people from other countries that are using government approved false family names just to attain passports to get into America and Europe. So how can any intelligence agency find a terrorist in a haystack of false information received from another government in the first place.
