Are you talking short term or long term? In the short term, the despots and their sycophants in business gain a monstrous pile of wealth. In the end, they or their kids wind up at the gallows.
Why should Spain pay for part of the clean-up? It was our mess. We should be cleaning it up. Either the military goes in and fixes it, or we taxpayers foot it.
When I was a kid, I was raised to clean up the mess I made, not entangle everyone else (financially) into the task. I broke a window, I worked it off.
You straighten your tie, clear your throat, and jangle your keys as you step into your CEO's office, wearing a nervous look on your face.
"Boss," you begin, "about that $10 billion we just spent on FTTH? Well, turns out our competitors are sticking with copper wiring and DSM... and its potential bandwidth is 100 MBps per customer." Then you point and laugh. "Just kidding! DSM is unreliable, theoretical vaporware! Hah hah! Eh, boss? BOSS? WTF OMFG somebody dial 911!!!"
they're laying off skilled workers at the US plants, some of whom were American?
Chip designer offshoring was what started first; my first degree was going to be Computer Engineering when there was a slowdown in 1995. I switched to MIS, and so did a lot of other people, as a result of this, not as a precipitation of this.
Here's how it goes: 1) Companies lay off engineers in America and go overseas 2) Engineering students change majors and new students don't take computer engineering as a major 3) Companies hire H1B's 4) Companies whine about a lack of engineers in America 5) One or two idiots buy into it and get a computer engineering degree and find they have no work here, or are getting laid off constantly. 6) ??? 7) Slashdot poster says the problem is a lack of engineers in America!
Nice talking point. When textile manufacturing and all those other industries went away, there was a new industry coming up to replace them.
Now, as computer R&D is going away, and it's taking biotech with it, what new industry is coming along?
None.
Now, let's reiterate your talking point: Industries come and go, and new ones replace them.
And let us ask you this question that will bring your participation in this discussion to a sudden, silent, cowardly halt: What new industry is coming to replace the high-tech and biotech industries?
Centralized databases are growing in importance. What is developing is all citizens are connected to these mainframes but not voluntarily; databases are collecting all their personal information and are monitoring their calls. In essence, many mini-gigantic mainframes are "connecting" to citizens, involuntarily.
There's also pseudo-"mainframes" (in function, at least) like MySpace, etc., which connect millions of people at once, voluntarily. I'm of course describing one major website digital community with a central database, as the modern equivalent of a mainframe...
Data centers provide both, where mobile solutions do not.
Need I say more?
As for people walking around in MY data center? LOL!!! Please. Everyone in here is wearing monkey suits. Key card on a plastic necklace and nothing in their pockets except maintenance equipment from the internal shed. Cords go under the floor or through protected pipes into the ceiling - if he ran a data center he'd know that. Our procedures for changing out a computer and making sure something is there to stand in its stead in the mean time is far too complex to discuss here, but "breaking something trying to fix it" is NOT a problem here.
Oh, the ignorance. It's so great it has its own gravity field!
But what will he say when underpaid CEOs in India take the jobs of overpaid CEOs in the US, as Intel is inevitably undercut by its competition in India (no doubt using stolen IP from Intel)?
You won't be pointing and laughing when your employer moves your job overseas.
And no one but you is going to be pointing and laughing at people for supporting their own country. But plenty of people are pointing and shaking their heads at you and your "profits over people" mentality. There's no future in that. There's short term gain, but no future.
Remember, you have to live in the country whose workers are impoverished. But when the impoverishment gets bad enough, of course, you'll move. That's your loyalty for you - not to your country, but to your money.
Alter the boot-up code. Then modify CI. Work your way up to the kernel and off you go.
The operating system loader and the kernel now perform code signature checks. On 64-bit x64 platforms, all kernel mode code must be signed and the identify of all kernel mode binaries is verified. The system also audits vents for integrity check failures.
This is the exact mentality that will continue to hurt the US in the future. Before globalization was significant, US was on top of the world. Now instead of stepping up their game, Americans concentrate on protecting their jobs.
There is no game to step up any more.
There's no point in getting a college degree in any technological field because even DOCTORS are vulnerable to tele-surgery.
America is shedding its high tech education base because there's fewer and fewer jobs for high tech educated people.
That means if we DON'T protect our jobs, we'll descend into a third world country where it's not worth it to get educated.
The world benefits when America's educated, high tech workers are put out of work and other nations are enriched by their impoverishment.
We need to put even more Americans out of work for the cause of lifting other nations out of poverty.
Long Live India, and to heck with you racist nativist American protectionists out there trying to keep your jobs. You should feel good about giving up your jobs and going to work at Wal Mart. It's your duty to make sacrifices in the name of globalism!
That's the Palestinian political parties, and they are unforgiveably extremist.
My policy to defeat them would be to send aid to their people when they need it, and avoid dealing with their Government.
But the fact that the Palestinian political parties preach hate doesn't nullify the fact that the West promotes hatred of them. Like I said, the approach is to be nice to their people and let their leaders rot in their hate; eventually the people will tell them to buzz off and if Israel participates, this "hate Israel" thing will wear off.
Which is why I favor a strong Israeli military. BTW just so you know, Israel has *200* UN resolutions against them.
I don't favor Israel or Palestine; both sides are going over the top and while Israel is making necessary concessions, they have brutalized Palestinian civilians before. I don't feel the Muslims should be pissed on for making a mean ol' video game that's no worse than what we make about them.
There are Palestinians and Israelis working together; I wish they were running the show.

Who cares about Maher Arar, or any one particular person? He's an ay-rab, for God's sake, he would suffer even worse in his home country!
So a few people have to suffer for the good of all. I'd rather be safe than free!
(Come on, you know that's what the ignorant rabid right's going to say in response to this, lol!)
Why is there even a discussion on who would pay? That's exactly my point.
The US shouldn't be helping to pay anything - we should be paying, period. It's our mess, we need to own it.
Why should Spain pay for part of the clean-up? It was our mess. We should be cleaning it up. Either the military goes in and fixes it, or we taxpayers foot it.

It's all about responsibility...
Always the low wage^H^H^H^Hprices. ALWAYS!
who are getting laid off in California as we speak.

Booyah. Get your copyright attorneys ready because I'm stealing that.
He fell victim to the PATRIOT Act.
It requires you give your home address to the bank and that it be verified by a major credit reporting agency.
If there's a conflict, your account gets frozen. By law. The bank has NO leeway.
I tell my employees to explain this in depth to customers whose accounts get frozen, so they know how the USAPATRIOT Act has violated their rights...
those overpaid CEOs at Intel.
But what will he say when underpaid CEOs in India take the jobs of overpaid CEOs in the US, as Intel is inevitably undercut by its competition in India (no doubt using stolen IP from Intel)?
Oh, he'll say "that can't happen"
or
"So long, America!"

Made in the USA. I choose the brand of product that's made in the US, or a Democratic, worker-friendly European country, if at all possible.
Next?
Because when America's high tech work force goes overseas, there won't be many people left to buy these business' products.
If businesses want to survive in America they need to give to America.
Otherwise, get out completely, and let us build companies to make products for us by us.
All your base... for great justice!!!

Upper level management and the corporate officers could NEVER be offshored.

I pre-ordered a PS3... how do I auction it off when I don't even own it yet? I thought that was verboten on ebay.
If you're not sure, tell 'em to rent the game first, then play it.
Renting is far cheaper.
