You must embrace mediocrity. These were mediocre people doing what mediocre people do. Following orders. If I as a manager and leader created an environment that caused my subordinates to do something like this I would, by simple default, have to take responsibility for what happened. However, admitting fault in this case can result in jail time so I would not expect anyone to do that either. It is what it is. Hopefully someone learned from this.
It will be cut out of their cash assets (stockholder equity) and there will be parties and increased bonuses for those executives who weathered the storm and steered the company through such trying times to emerge stronger than ever and more transparent.
This has happened to me several times with Verizon where the agent didn't want to get docked for being the one to downgrade or cancel an account so they just didn't do it though they said they did. Now I just wait on the phone hitting refresh on the website until I see the account details update.
I think that is the point they are going for...it isnt so much the taxes that go away as the money itself being shipped over seas or whatever. The impact of losing the local economy is much more of an impact than losing tax revenue. I would argue that all of this is OK in the light of effieciency but offshore is not more efficient. If they dont really have much need for strong, agile IT resources then offshore is fine. If IT is your differentiator you have have to keep offshore to a minimum.
It is just to bring charges. The court will sort out the facts being argued by competent attorneys instead of having bureaucrats arbitrarily pardon illegal behavior.
The last thing we need in IT are more pedants. User advocates and others who understand how to build productivity-enhancing, usable systems while adding value to a business or other organization are far too rare. IT is now just a sea of point-and-clickers and glue code monkeys...you can't build impressive and productive systems like that.
If you disagree, comment. A disagree mod is stupid. I dont want to know if someone disagrees without an intelligent retort. The best thing about slashdot are the intelligent responses from someone who disagrees. It is called a forum.
"so they can work for $2/hr where you demand $50/hr, because they are living 8 people to a tiny inner city apartment and own no car at all, nor big screen TV."
That is not sustainable. They want the house and car too. The American standard IS where everyone is heading whether you realize it or not.
In my experience it takes one American running around like a chicken with their head cut off to manage two or three offshore. Otherwise the ROI takes a total nose dive. I think the new model model may evolve to onshore contracted developers. they never stick around long enough to matter as employees anyway. The good mature ones do, and they are fine to keep on staff, but your average twenty-something developer totally sucks no matter where they are from.
I would suggest first shaving the beard off of your neck. I find it fascinating that email is important enough for you to require this much thought and consideration. Get a Office 365 account and be done with it.

For your debit card. If you use a credit card you do not need to supply a PIN.
Filthy casuals!

Strawman argument by unpopular dumbass?
The smaller the phone, the shittier the battery.

"Making coffee wasn't something that needed to be reinvented"
The market thought otherwise douche bag.
Maybe a karma loss when people downmod for disagreeing? It can be done with machine learning based on the following comments and mods.

Is Timothy gone? I haven't been on as much in the last two years but that douche really stinks up the place.
The "Left" has a freedom from religion agenda. As a conservative it is one I identify with.
"but the details get worse. "
"The vast majority of passengers just tell law enforcement, ‘I forgot.’"
So, not worse. Just as can be expected, a non-issue.
Risk of injury to a minor is for actual endangerment....like putting them in the back of a pick up truck and driving down the highway.
Preschool. My kids pulled their first trigger at 4-5 yrs old. Curiosity and glamor quickly fade and the seriousness sets in.
I picture the chiefs of the DoD getting his memo, rolling their eyes, and dumping it in the trash where it belongs.

Ammoral...not immoral
You could just make them dumb as a poor person and then you could own them. Problem solved.
