You never have the option to take the law into your own hands. If you don't like the job your government(police) are doing, then work on them. But you never have the option to take the law into your own hands.
I assume that by ‘monkey work’ your boss means the coding itself and not any of the design. If that isn’t what he means, then that has already been covered.
I outsourced several small custom add-on components for our core application. These components were not going to be used by any other customers and were not going to be included in the main product. I don’t know why you would outsource your core development – also already covered here. But if you are set on outsourcing, here is my advice:
1. Develop a specification with all features and functions clearly defined.
2. Design the database schema (or whatever data storage design you need).
3. Prototype every screen. Create full up screens (even if they are just images) with the same controls on them that you want to see in the product.
4. Spell out every user input and result for every screen.
5. Establish the platforms – all development tools, OS’s and languages should be spelled out up front.
6. Review often – catch problems as soon as possible.
7. Document every variance. If they can’t do something the way you wanted it, document it and the agreement you came to.
8. Pay for feature completion, not hours.
9. Protect your Intellectual Property.
Recognize this?

Really? Really? You don't know why Microsoft embraced gaming? Haven't you figured it out yet?
Microsoft made zillion$ in operating systems and application software. Did they need a game or game console, NO! But the US military did. They started with Bungie and the Mac thinking they would prepare a small select group, but it wasn't enough. So they enlisted Microsoft to take it to the next level and get it out there on a game console. Oh, yea, now do you get it?
IT'S NOT A GAMING CONSOLE, IT'S A TRAINING SIMULATION!
They are trying to prepare us for the day when the Covenant get here! Urban combat, space combat, huge tracts of devastation, get it? GET IT?
THE COVENENT ARE COMING AND THEY ARE BRINGING THE FLOOD!!!! I'm going to be ready. I've trained in the simulations again and again. I've read all the mission reports. I'll be READY. I have my shotgun! AAAAAAAAAA! No, NO! Leave me alone. You're not turnin' me into one of those things! AAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Terminal velocity is calculated as sqrt((2*w)/(rho*A*Cd)).
w = weight
rho = about 1.22 kgm**3
A = Things fall in the orientation that causes the most air resistance (believe it or not) so that's the face area, about.07 ft**2
Cd = Coefficient of drag for a rectangle is about.75
Like this (From the Article):
"The Microsoft officials brought with them a federal court order granting them permission to seize computers"
That wasn't too hard to figure out now was it?
So, let's see:
8.9 Richter earthquake, 23 foot tsunami, cooling system failures, and massive hydrogen explosions are hard to deny. Radiation leaks or releases on the other hand... I'll wait and see just what gets reported in the coming months.

I happen to know Scott and Josh. His story is anecdotal, I admit. But the effect of treatment on his son is a matter of fact, not up for interpretation. I saw a boy who spun in circles and rolled his eyes constantly. Who could not talk to his parents and was afraid of his little sister. After his treatment, he was (and still is) quite normal.
How did Josh get Autism? I don't know. Did he have Autism? Don't know that either. Did he have heavy metal poisoning? If you look up the symptoms you'll see they are quite similar.
I know this is unpopular among the slashdot crowd, but it is an accurate accounting of a real life incident.
Really, you should include all of the pillars of this system that is slowly destroying the republic:
1. Individuals have the right to free speech (The first Amendment)
2. Donation of money is protected free speech (as you said)
3. Corporations are persons (headnote to the Court's opinion 1886 U.S. Supreme Court case Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad (118 U.S. 394)
and so... the larger the corporation, the more money they have, the more they can influence our representatives. Broken system.
I for one don't want to live in a world where any information that leaves the 4 walls of my house is public.
What certain people do understand is the difference between a real argument and an ad-hominem one. While you are busy demonstrating your ignorance, the parent explained how it works and why it simply isn't private. What you "expect", out of your ignorance of the issues, really doesn't matter.
As far as your last comment, you can figure out what to do about that one yourself.

In the United States Corporations are given "Personhood" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_personhood_debate This provides them with the rights of individuals. This is why corporations can donate to political campaigns. Donating to a political campaign is protected free speech. Now that's a whole new topic, the point is, the door swings both ways. If any corporation has the rights of an individual, then they must have the same responsibilities as well. In reading all of the news, it is pretty clear that BP circumvented safety procedures (and the permit was violated and that is criminal) http://blogs.chron.com/newswatchenergy/archives/2010/05/one_half_of_the_1.html about 3/4 of the way down: "...the drilling permit BP filed with federal officials they were supposed to do the test on the kill pipe, not down the drill pipe"
In the end, BP is responsible. How you make BP responsible without making the individuals that are BP responsible is beyond me...
As an employer, I would be quite happy to know how much time is being wasted by employees on social networking sites. Of course keeping up with current events (Suff that matters) would not be included. The comments my employees make are public and I have the same right to see them as anyone. In addition, the time and resources they spend on personal items while getting paid by me is no less than stealing.
3. Illegal immigration is ILLEGAL. Let's either address that and stop the flow, or change the rules. I don't mind if we decide to allow unfettered immigration, or lower the barriers, but we should certainly make the choice. Until then, when will our government address the problem? Do we need to vote them out again and again until they get the point? When does our government stop listening to the corporations and start listening to us?
Emphasis mine.
This really is the root of it isn't it? As long as corporate money can be used to buy politicians (the elephant in the middle of the room) what exactly can any of us do about it? Isn't this the age old campaign finance reform story? We see it over and over - Corporations have the rights of individuals (does that make any sense?) and money = free speech or more exactly more money = more free speech.

"The mileage tax is being considered instead of an increase in the gas tax in order to tax hybrids and EVs as well in order to generate more revenue."
There, that's more accurate.
Terminal velocity is calculated as sqrt((2*w)/(rho*A*Cd)). .07 ft**2 .75
w = weight
rho = about 1.22 kgm**3
A = Things fall in the orientation that causes the most air resistance (believe it or not) so that's the face area, about
Cd = Coefficient of drag for a rectangle is about
So terminal velocity is about 50 MPH.
