I live in Guatemala, and currently have 1500 operators doing outsourcing to the US. All of it is Data Entry for different Insurance companies. Due to the fact that our average wage is $1.50 an hour we are helping keep Insurance rates low. We arent taking IT jobs.
We have to be carefull because there is Offshoring that is very beneficial for the US.
I keep a notebook with all the cool toys I'm going to get when I graduate from the university. I made my perfect pc, my ultimate car stereo, and pimp home theater. Problem is, since I'm graduating in Computer Science, they'll be on paper for a while.
You don't know how many people use floppies to hold term papers and the such. My sister has a floppy where she has all her papers since she started college(3 years ago). I once had to use the computer lab in the humaninties building at my University, and everyone was using a floppy. All the computers have zip drives, but no one uses it. My history major roommate, still has those floppy wallets where he keeps his research. These people don't own a real computer, they have no idea you can save on anything but a hard drive and their floppies. I think that until these people change, floppies will live forever.
Ok, I'm here on a student visa. It's a great arrangement, I get my school done, I work for the university, I finish, I leave. For me right now it would be like begging to get an H1. I just finished school, and going to do my practical training. I don't know where I'm going to work, but where ever it is, I can quit any day and have zero problems. H1, you have like 60 to find a new job, or you fall out of status. It's like selling your soul to Mr Biz. Some people came to the US expecting to just live the American Dream. Well the American Dream is not really available if your a slave. So me, I'm going to my country, get a menial job, and eat beans and rice. But I know that I have the right to ask for social security. I know I have the right to quit, and sit on my butt for as long as I want. And I won't be chased down by some green INS police if I get laid off.
Sorry I went on my little soap box, but I hate how they have set up work visas.
Another important point to consider is where the waste goes by. I live in Utah, and it affects us inmensly, because the waste might come through utah to be deposited in Nevada. Other states need to consider that waste might be going through their back yards.
In order to write the password for all secure places I have, I would implement a time password. I would keep in my will the formula to recreate my password. This way I can have a password as often as I want, that is unique, but if people know how often I change my password and when I died, they can deduce the pass. Of course said formula would be in a safe place.
Now I need to figure out a formula for all my passwords. Ohh I know newpass= oldpass, I really need to change my passwords periodically.
What's with them calling soccer football. Your ever watch soccer, not that's a boring game man. I'll tell you what soccer is, soccer is for little girls. Football now that's an american sport, it teaches good wholesome american values, like stealing other peoples land by force, and wearing tight pants while you do it. I'm talking about being a man, Laslo.
I remeber studing about viruses, and how they attack, but I'm not familiar with retro viruses. Could they affect other parts of the body, or how do they make them only able to attack the damaged cells? Thanks for the responses.
What I really want is something to measure how much I pee. Sometimes I say: "Man I really had to go this time." But seriously, I have no idea of how much I actually produced. But if there was a thing that told me, I could really keep a tab on that.

I would block the download site right now. Are sites like/. also censored? I'm not taking the pessimistic view, but I bet they are some really anal geeks working for the chinesse government. Probably looking for projects like PB and then banning them.
Several semesters ago in one of my college classes, my profesor told us about his research. He goes to guatemala(where I'm from), to install solar stoves. They are very simple, but they work very good. It decreases their need for firewood. Any way, here is the link to the article. It was posted in the University's magazine.
"Suspension is shucking off the responsibility" I loved getting suspended, it's the best. Think about it, no school, no homework, the works. If you like to sit infront of a computer all day, then why give the day to the kid so he can hack other things. What would have been a good punishment would be to be in school, doing something productive like deleting windows from all the computers in school.
The p0rn industry is going to go wild. I can just see it: For $30 a month you can see everyone naked. Or how about, have playmate for $10/hour. some people are going to have serious retinal damage.
Just some thoughts . . .
Why don't you go to radio shack, buy some fake camaras. They sell they, I saw them not too long ago. Buy a lot, and make them obvious. Then get a motion detector, or maybe one of those things that tells a store owner when some comes in. Then when some one come in, start a siren. Hey, they'll think you really beefed up the place and try an easier boat to rob.

I work at a University. As soon as I was hired I was enlisted in 4 mailing lists:(1)my team,(2)my department,(3)college,(4)University level. The problem is that people respond to college and department stuff that was only ment for their them. I can't really filter them out because some is important(ie. a university level salary raise). So if the university complains about waisting time, its their emails that waste my time.
gtk rules, it has everything the way it's suppose to work. They have done a great job in bringing up this great lib. For all those gtk programes you the man.
If GENOME proves that we came from previous species because we both contain the same genetic makeup. It can also prove that there aren't multiple gods that created things the way they felt like it. All came from one source, GOD, who uses the same building blocks for all species.
I love to read OSC, and I've enjoyed all of his books. I wanted to respond to the people that talk about Orson's beliefs, and how he does a lot of teaching in his books. I enjoy reading when he talks about spirituallity, like in Children of the Mind, and Ender's Shadow, but mainly is because I'm a mormon just like OSC. I had never really thought about how much he does tell, or try to explain many of our beliefs to the readers, until I read most of your replies. Part of the "Mormon Culture" is to tell people about our beliefs, so I feel that's what OSC is doing in his books. The cool thing is that he uses Catholic characters to portray the religios teachers. Many of the characters react the way, people react to when I explain my beliefs. So what OSC is doing is making you feel, just how the characters are feeling, disbelief. His portuguees influence comes from his experience as a Missionary in Brazil. This part of him is very clear in Xenocide.
There you have it, my 2 cents
Here are some simple steps to eliminate racism, and discrimination in technology today.
1) Don't let people use real names on anything official, give everyone a username something like bla456. Never let people associate your real name with your username.
2) Put many departments together, everyone with the same kind of cubicle, in random patterns so no one knows who is the big boss.
3) If someone might break your system give him privilages like, working from home.
Sad to say I'm Latin, living in Utah, and working from home. I guess some people might get mad to have me as a boss.
