These employers should not be allowed to get any patents or copyright protection for work done overseas. This intellictual property was not done on American soil and should not garner the same rights as work done in the states.
There are ample people in the states that are qualified enough to fill any of the so called "highly qualified" jobs everyone says we don't have employees for.
But what I am seeing is that since the US gov't doesn't care where (or even if) they get the tax dollars from, they will be short of tax dollars when all the US jobs are gone to overseas companies. Wonder where that leaves us? Enter service employee of the month at your local BK, MCD's, etc. These will be the only jobs remaining, thanks to the gov't.
To correct this mistake, we should NOT allow patents to be granted to ANY company that has work done OUTSIDE the U.S. Any involvement with workers not of U.S. citizenship inside the U.S. will result in forfet of any patents applied for. Or better yet, make these companies pay a PENALTY for using non-U.S workers.
It only took someone to which everyone will listen to for this to be "heard".
It amazes me everday when people go blindly to work, not realizing that in 5-6 years, they will not have a job because SAHIB in India works for 1/10th the cost and has 1/16th of the cost of living that we do here in the states.
Another thing that really drives me nuts, we have all these workers for which companies need to have from OUTSIDE the U.S. because the labor force here doesn't have enough skilled people to do the work. This is complete and udder BS.
There are alot of non-U.S citizens working here because our GOVERNMENT let them because corporations WHINED about it. Now, we have like 7-8 percent Unemployment. Take out all the non-U.S workers, and we have NO UNEMPLOYMENT!!!!! Amazing how that works, eh?
The biggest problem with replication is that you don't realize that there already exists a product that does EXACTLY what you are bitching about.
For the past 5 years or so, Informix (remember them?, now IBM) has had "time based" replication, where the "time" of the transaction dictates who's data is more current and gets to update the replicants. It means that the systems have to be "sync'd" with NTP to maintain that everyone is saying the same thing, but other than that, you get replication across all replicants, because they are ALL masters.
Next time, please check into this before making this type of statement.
Saw this attack start 2 days ago, but just assumed it was another simple M$ SQLServer attack, because I get a 1433 on occasion.

Then as the day progressed on the 23rd, things started to coughed and sputtered until this morning. Last night was a bitch, I could hardly resolve a single domain to anywhere.
I guess the ISP's are just getting the 1434 UDP traffic under control by blocking the port outright.
I goes to show that M$ software is still 100% hackable and will be used for something like this for years to come. When will people learn?
After heavy lobbying Congress passed this extension. I'm glad we have a Democracy where Money buys legislative votes for these kinds of things.
I'm not saying that I don't agree with the ruling or that Congress shouldn't have passed this, I'm arguing that the way the industry went about it is a bit ridiculous, IMHO.
Failing to have an OFFSITE backup can result in your company losing all it's assets. What is that worth to you and your company?
I bet more than the 40 dollars per tape for DLT (I doubt it would be more than say 3-4 tapes per full backup and then 1-2 per week incremental, but it depends on your data).
At $240/week or even $500/week in tapes, you can't justify NOT having them if your company makes ANY type of living off the data you are archiving
So what. Your most likely just moving the extra 32 bits around anyways and not using them.
Now if your flag actually ACTIVATES code in apache to get around 32 bit code, then I'd say "Great", but a simple compiler flag generally doesn't do that.
Is it me, or does NO ONE here understand compilers? You can do exactly that, make. The biggest problem is that everything will be made "32" bit unless there is "64" bit code to handle all the nuances with the 64 bit platform (integers are wider, etc). Even if you say "Use 64 bits when I compile", if there is no handlers, the code might be compiled 64 bit, but the executable will work with 32 bit only. This means that you will effectively be moving 32 extra bits around that aren't even being used.
Buy something that has independent replaceable cartridges. My S630 from canon cost a bit more at initial purchase, but it beats having to buy 60-70 dollar cartridges when the BLACK runs out.
My suggestion is that if you don't hold a degree, leave the field. That will open up more jobs for those of us who actually HAVE a degree and can problem solve something more than Microsoft Windows problems.
I think the IT arena would be a much better place if BA people would get out. Let those who have TECH degrees do the work that they have been trained to do. I really enjoy getting paid the same or less than those without a degree or with a 2 year degree. Makes me sick to think that they somehow got a job from knowing nothing about technology and how it works.
Clearly depends on whether or not his work status was 1099 or W-2. W-2 consultants (hourly or salary) qualify.
1099 does not qualify for the same unemployment, but I know that they get unemployment (it's called self-employment unemployment).
My suggestion is to NOT take suggestion and research it for yourself. Call your State Employment Agency and ask them directly. They are willing to help if you need it.
It seems to me that everyone wants a knowledgable patent office that can understand (most) technologies that come into it's office.
I think that what will happen is that companies and individuals will get fed up with the system and change it. Eventually, patents will be almost non-existant because the system will require PROOF of non-prior art, other than the current model, which only hints at the notion.
I'll agree that this is getting out of hand and anyone who claims a patent and files a suit against any company, should have to PAY for ALL legal fees of BOTH parties, if they want to pursue the patent.
This would keep folks like the idiot here from filing, getting and then pursuing a lawsuit for the patent he was given.
37 billion in the bank and even today, M$ still insists that they are offering consumers "Value".
If they cut the prices in 1/2, they'd still make money hand over fist.
It is quite suprising to me that a company "Clearly convicted of a Monopoly in these United States", can sit there and dictate what they think is clearly harm to consumers. It's like AT&T saying, "If you break us up, who will offer long distance?" "Who will offer phone service?" "Who will supply any type of quality and price competativeness?"
Well, that just goes to show that even AT&T was wrong in there arguments. We still have phone service, and yes mom, we have some, though not alot, of competition.
M$ would have us believe that this ruling would cause a major buckle in the computing industry, but in fact, it would put the M$ developers on the same playing field as the rest of the world.
Live on competition, destruction to monopolies. Innovation exists not in monopolies, but in competition.
When are these stupid companies going to hire competent people who realize that access to the credit card database from the OUTSIDE (eg. internet) SHOULD NEVER FUCKING HAPPEN!
Put up a firewall and don't allow it to happen. Only allow access from the host that is serving up these pages and then, require a encrypted channel. This seems ridiculous in this day and age that the 5 year old M$ professional fuck heads can't get it right.
This guy needs to get laid or something. Getting upset about this is totally idiotic. Any nitwit can tell you that these are ideas of what would be humorous if they actually did happen.

Etoy should pursue their counter suit and get etoys for a couple mill in damages for their wrong doing. This would make the corporate shits shake in their boots to even think of starting a suit against little companies.

Too Bad that it takes an EDUCATION society to use something useful. As you can see, most of the US is uneducated.

It's idiot comments like "you sir, are a prick" that keep those who know what they are doing from doing there jobs.
If this guy would get a clue, hire someone to put a real mail server up, we'd all be in a better place.
But school districts are underfunded and don't have any staff that know what they are doing (go figure, they are teachers!)
