If they will do it for a quarter the pay, but live in a cheap to live area in a completely foreign land, then it has nothing to do with pricing out of teh market, but rather a lack of PROTECTIVE TARRIFFS.
The issue is that our current policy enforces corporate capitalization and does not protect human resource.
STEM is worth the bother, but we need to reinforce it by protecting it --- you tax US businesses on their imported labor. And if they don't like it, they can move to india.. Then we can tax their products instead. THIS IS NOW UNEQUAL NATIONS STAY BALANCED.
Americans could be more greatly innovative and productive, but globalization and our lack of protective tarriffs..... well.... now outsourcing and insourcing has pretty much washed what 'value' is left of our educated and skilled workers in the US.
When rent is $100/month in India, its very easy for someone in India to take $5k a year pay. When it is $1500/month in the US, and there is now an overabundance of willing-to-work scientists due to pushing STEM education and not protecting with tax on imported labor, you end up with scientists who can barely afford to get by, and yet feel lucky to even have a job due to the scarcity.
It's a shame. Biotech truly *is* the next wave of technological revolution. But because the US does nothing to protect its human resources/assets, pandering to the corps that want more labor for cheap, only the few that come up with ideas in the US are getting paid, while so much is being carried out elsewhere (or devalued in-house so a B.S Biochemist makes as much as an ace hardware sales rep).
I'm very concerned that they had guns drawn on him.
Porn offense...
Even if he ran, its not worth shooting someone.
Why are our police and authorities getting so gun-cocky?! The man should sue those kicking the door in not only for false accusation/apprehension, but for the excessive and inappropriate way they decided to do it to him. I fear the only way we can slow the police from walking all over us is by lawsuit (and I hate litigation).
I moderated too. And now I'm blowing points because you appear to believe married people can't have a clear and critical talk about expenses and businesses.... or that parents have no control over their children.
People in unstable relationships might not express their concerns, and parents who don't really do their part get walked over.
But not everyone is like this. Your view of relationships and parenting is immature and ignorant.
Had to clear tht up. I regularly talk with my wife about purchases and political/social reasonings about them. My kids don't get what I've already vetted to be appropriate. You can do it too.
From my experience the Germans are largely not in denial at all, but are rather overly apologetic for and vehemently opposed to the 'nazi' idea. This serious opposition is probably why the OP might be talking about filtering 'nazi' web media. I don't know if it is true, but from my experience, denial wouldn't be the reasoning for it.
I had the latest Internet explorer that was available through windows update. I'm pretty sure it was newer than IE6.
That's weird how you assumed it was IE6 even though I never said it was. I just checked the site in Firefox 3.5.7 and it is still screwed up looking as I had described.
What was your point again? To make an ass of yourself with assumption?
The lead people at MS are killing the company. I have no doubt about it.
Have you ever read the e-mails from Bill Gates to his top guys at MS? The e-mails where he describes his intent to use windows movie maker and ended up in an hours-long fiasco of installing all kinds of crap and encountering dysfunction along the entire path? If not it is worth googling.
I had this EXACT same experience, except I wasn't a former owner writing e-mails... I was just a guy laughing at how ridiculous it was.
I attempted to get windows messenger for windows xp. Normally to update messenger, it offers an update. But this was not working at all (lol). So I decided to go to www.microsoft.com and dig up the software. Even though their website detected my OS, it gave me the download to Windows Live Messenger that was *NOT* for XP. I downloaded and attempted to install twice, only to be faced with a 'corrupted file' error.... funny.. because it wasn't corrupted.. it just didn't run on XP.
So after bumbling around a bit and curiously wondering why the regular update didn't work and their site's download didn't work... I stumble upon the fact that there is a separate messenger for XP. When I get to that page, which is on microsofts site, it doesn't render well. The page, viewed in MS internet explorer, was dilapidated and you couldn't actually hit the SELECT LANGUAGE box!
Funnily, I just checked, and its STILL screwed up! http://explore.live.com/windows-live-Messenger-XP This was months ago I saw this and it is STILL screwed up! Notice how the "Download Windows Media Player Plugin" text overlaps the "Choose Language" box and you can't actually click the box!
I had to dork around with this page for a good 15 minutes before I somehow got to select a language.... from there I finally got my download and got windows messenger for XP installed.
THE TOTAL PROCESS TOOK ABOUT 55 MINS. And I've been a nerd since 1992 if that gives you any reference to how fast I can usually solve problems. --------------------
I was laughing the whole time, yet outrageously irritated. I was laughing because it is clear to me that the people running microsoft are clearly and without any question trying to kill the company. They are by neglect or deliberate act, ignoring every important thing that matters in software. Bill Gates complained a lot, and in his fervor, you can sense he wanted his software to operate like Apple's does.
They will (mostly) be buying it because they don't know any better, or that it is "The OS" that is present on the phone they were sold.
Windows Mobile has been and always will be a trash OS. Glitchy, crashy, unreliable, clunky, odd..... I have multiple years of experience and wished for something akin to iOS or Android the whole time.
---I fear the only way they can predict WM will outrun iOS is because of some form of anti-trust action in business producing exclusivity and limitation of OS choices. This is par for the course for microsoft and its business model; when the consumer doesn't like it, buy up, control, and limit their choices. In the end, they know the consumer pays for MS crap rather than not have technology.
I'm all for breaking it down to about $50/month for 8mbit 24/7! That's about what I pay and what I *should* get right now anyway!
The real issue is this. I pay about $50/month for 8mbit cable. It turns out that there are 205 active 8mbit clients on the node... the node is a 42mbit client.
So by 1pm, I see 2mbit, and by 3pm I see under 1mbit.
Not to mention the ping to san francisco goes from 25ms to 240ms and becomes jittery.
You can't actually get 8mbit unless its morning or very late night, and you can't game. I realize not everyone wants to pay a ton, and not everyone NEEDS to use their desired bandwidth at 24/7. The main issue is the widespread overselling to the degree I just described. They, ISPs, are largely not even providing the semblance of service you pay for.
And what makes this worse? I hear of people with 25mbit connections! This is ridiculous! ISPs that cannot provide 8mbit, selling 25mbit connections. That's just pure nonsense! Not only will the advertised service not be available, but it will be extremely diminished by the fact that they ridiculously offer such high and unnecessary rates in the first place!
JUST DO HONEST BUSINESS! That is all I'm really saying. If I can't get my 8mbit 24/7 then something is wrong with the system. That doesn't mean that everyone deserves 8mb 24/7, but that the best possible estimate of the load provides that at any given time, those desiring bandwidth are able to achieve it and with reasonable latency.
Like I said before, your proposed model hardly works because they don't upgrade infrastructure as fast as they oversell.
Well hopefully those execs and management will manage to pull it off again! I'm not saying they deserve all the credit, and the personal evidence I know of completely contradicts what you've said (as in who gets paid), but if they put the teams together and pushed the vision to produce what I like, I suppose they deserve my bucks too.
I know that the actual people who *made* gears of war and gears of war 2 make really good money from their share in the profits. Epic is a great company and afaik they pay out a good amount of profits to the makers.
Doh! Just bought Wipeout HD on a PS Store special for $15, then I blew my download cap and got $40 added to the internet bill! What gives?!?!
One more reason to protest caps, throttling, and anything but 24/7 bandwidth at the advertised rate. Just do easy honest business: that is all we really need.
I know you can get world of goo. Bejeweled. plants vs zombies. I'm sure it has a load of 2-d adventure games akin to mario as well.
Dude. Just get the steam client on your PC. Its free and you can uninstall it. I think its www.steampowered.com Yeah, just checked.
You can see all that they have in the store, check out screenpics and videos, see ratings, etc. Also, it auto-updates all your games that are on steam, via steam, at your max bandwidth, and stands as a game launcher.
It used to be lightly significant on resources, but its insignificant in 2011.
... its sick. Hated it for the first couple hours, then fell in love hard. Just like MAG.
This game is worth your original $60. Support good games by sending your cash to those who made it. I'm not saying I don't buy used, I just don't buy used and don't seek discounts on games I know that I want to see more of.
Actually, it is the absence of sufficient water in the presence of high concentrations of sugar. Add some water and watch the bacteria consume that sugar like its food (lol)!
The reason honey stores handily is that it has a water activity of less than 0.7. Water activity is a key element in food preservation.
And btw, my group is independent, our 'store' is on our site, and I thought it was pertinent to make available the free giveaway that we continually offer, as it is clearly relevant to the original post.
Do you have to argue with every post you see? Really?
PS3 sales overtook the 360 over a year ago, but as for 'in-use' systems, the ps3 has been in the lead for a long time. This is due to the huge failure rates of the 360, and thus re-purchasing by 360 gamers. The failure rate of the ps3 is almost 0, and so the ps3 has been the major player for a while now.
I thought the xmb/os was based off a condensed linux build. Somehow I recall how yellowdog linux was so easy to implement because of its similar roots.

I sleep much better, albeit in a cheaper bed. That's why good people choose it.
Even if you get rich, and even if you don't go to jail, dishonesty still marks you a douchebag and you can't undo that.
Money can't buy integrity.
That is true for the people that stick with it.

Interesting point.
producing aluminum from boxite is extremely energy intensive. requires loads of electricity.
we recycle aluminum not because it is of scarcity, but rather because the energy invested to produce it from boxite is 'saved'.
