Outsourcing refers to jobs being sent to countries outside the US. But what about insourcing - where jobs come to the US from foreign countries? Essentially its the opposite of outsourcing (from the US side).
I've heard second hand that the number of insourced jobs is greater than the number of oursourced jobs. Is that true? If it is, it would appear that outsourcing is good for us.
I guess it depends on who you ask and what you consider when you say 'businesses'. But in a poll I conducted recently, respondants cited known vulnerabilities most when asked what method of attack seccessfully breached security. Misconfigured settings was second.
Biggest problem: time and manpower to test the patches before deployment.

It takes as little as 4 seconds. http://www.nwc.com/1320/1320f45.htmlDunk test! Just plop the device in a 20oz paper cup full of liquid. You can't hear the alarm.
Of course there are millions of people who have opted in to receive political email. I donated to the RNC online, and am now on their mailing list (which is mostly boring and uninformative to me). Howard Dean alone has half a million people who signed up for his list. If just one primary candidate in one year could get half a million, the RNC and DNC has to have a few million by now.
Will you please stop talking without reading? Quit while you're behind. I said my rate went down from 28 to 25 percent for several years. I said the rebate was not a one time thing. That was my point - that the $300 rebate was not a one time thing. I didn't say my rate went down *only due* to the rebate. Guess what - when the rebates were issued, my tax bracket was at that time 27.5%! It was in 2002 or 2003 when they accelerated the tax cuts it went to 25%. Didn't know that either?
This isn't a right vs left wing thing buddy. Get out a year 2000 tax table and a year 2003 table. Look up the same income level. 2003 is lower.
If it was that simple to compute taxes, then we would be sending our tax returns in via post cards. Have you ever done a tax return? Know what deductions are? Adjusted gross income? Guess not. Standard deductions? Itemized deductions? How about the fact that not all your income is taxed at 25%. Some is taxed at 10%, some at 15%, and some at 25%. Since that last part is missing from your equation, your last two posts can be declared 'completely wrong'. Forgivable if you're not from the US.
Also, I never indicated that my tax cut was only $300.
Perhaps I was in error. I meant to say my tax bracket (10, 15, 25, 28, 33, 35). I won't fully reveal my income but it is most definitely above minimum wage.:-) I'm curious how you calculated anything as I didn't give any numbers. If my salary in 2000 was the same as in 2003, all other things equal, I would pay less tax in 2003 than in 2000.
Many banks offer ATM cards with a Visa or Mastercard logo and capabilities. These function just like secured credit cards and only require you to have a checking account.

According to SSS records (and snopes.com), he had a 1-A class after leaving school, then received a 1-Y classification, later reclassified to 4-F when the 1-Y class was abolished, on November 24, 1970.
"Do you think any game company today could make a profit or even stay afloat if they made SNES-level games today?"
Nintendo has been re-releasing many of their SNES games for the gameboy advance, and making a lot of money off of it.
I'd love to play a new sprite based, 2D game again. I'm playing FF6 right now, and am really enjoying it despite its age. With the memory space available nowadays these games could have larger environment, more characters, more music and a bunch of good dialog. Unfortunately every game reviewer would probably blast the game for not looking or sounding 'pretty' as compared to games that are half prerendered cutscenes. But it'd be fun damnit.
This was tried in the late 80s. A chain on long island (Pathmark) installed a grayscale LCD screen on every cart. It communicated wirelessly as well. You could see a store map, your location on the map, search for an item's location, and see aisle specials of the week.
Didn't last more than a few months. I'm guessing it didn't benefit frequent shoppers too much. Maybe it'll work better today.
Rootkits are probably more like a trojan than virus.
Personally, I consider viruses, worms and trojans to all fall into the same genus. The differences between the three aren't too important and blurry anyways. They are all hostile code that can affect any system.

Morris would disagree with that.

When has Redhat distributed updates to Listserv and slforum? Do they update proftp, Acrobat and RealPlayer for Linux too?

That won't make thing any easier. SSL VPN is just as complex if not more so. Not to mention that SSL uses more resources than 3DES.
Better patent that idea before ThinkGeek steals it.

Nah, you can just check them in the cargo hold.
Probably not. Most don't, which sucks.

That's all fine, but why would you go to a hackers conference to hear an entire panel on web accessibility for the disabled?

"You mean your one-time "benefit" of somewhere in the vicinity of $300?"
In 2000 my tax rate was 28%. This year it is 25%. Next year it will be 25%. The year after it will be 25%. When did one time mean more than once?
Or are you suggesting my federal tax rate in 2004 be the same as in 2000? Because (unless congress decides to pass a few laws) it won't.

Stateful firewall that blocks all incoming connections. Basically the same thing.
Perhaps someone else invented the finglonger, and he was just disappointed that he couldn't get the patent rights.
