I find the combination of final flight of the space shuttle and as missions take astronauts further and further away from Earth in single paragraph a bit schizophrenic.
Google is (obviously) doing the same with Android, but they were clever enough to market it as 'service'. It is called Latitude and actually is quite neat.
Oh of course it is fair and of course you can! You just got so used to be so unfairly rich that whenever someone (someone=brutal reality and/or the invisible hand of markets) reminds you about it You all start dragging your feet yelling and screaming.
* It keeps talented people from moving in to US to work American companies; this hurts American economy. I leave and work in London and we have people from all around the world working here. Some of them feel here like home - especially when their are from another EU country, some of them had some problems with getting in here, but everyone works on equal terms and compete for the same salary. But from from people who dared to go to US on H1-B we hear only horror stories: they can not compete, they need to accept the shittiest work conditions and lower salary and be constantly prepared to head back home as soon as their current employer shows them the door. From what I see, the only talented people who are going to US to work under H1-B are young chaps who want to spend year or two there, drive around in big cars and do some sightseeing.
* By allowing companies to employ people on unequal terms it destroys the job market bringing salaries down.
I believe that H1-B together with tolerated illegal immigration from latin america creates a modern-day slavery system, when part of the working class is stripped from they rights, benefiting rich people employing them and hurting the rest.
Or East Caribbean, Bahamian, Barbados, Belize, Brunei, Canadian, Fiji, Guyana, Hong Kong, Jamaican, Kiribati, Liberian, Namibian, New Zealand, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Surinamese, New Taiwan, Trinidad and Tobago or Tuvaluan dollars for that matter.
THAT'S what the European Union government should have done to the cell companies. i.e. Punish them. Instead they did virtually nothing.
Not true. The roaming charges were lower already few years ago due to EUC action. Now you don't have this funny feeling when using your mobile while road-trippin' from Riga to Lisbon (unless you get into Switzerland).
My father is a Taliban fighting in this war. could you please remove Americans, British, Germans, Polish and other NATO forces from the game, as it brings undue stress into the lives of families waiting for their loved ones to return?

Ironically life imprisonment would have been a far harsher punishment for him [...]
I agree, but Gringos don't. He would be killed, if not in the US, then in other convenient jurisdiction. Vide: Saddam.

It is not fair, we can't compete with cheap labor

There is no cure for stupidity....
H1-B does hurt people. Let me elaborate:

With space shuttles down and Constellation cancelled what other 'manned space program' does US actually have at the moment?
Its a second time in a week when a barely interesting post from this guy's blogs makes it to the main page. What's wrong with you, /. ?
The real competition will be when China's super computer competes against IBM's on global conflict.
Or seeing 'the Last Starfighter'
And by the time it gets there the sensor technology could be so beefed up that we will get better data w/o leaving our cosy solar system.
This is a job for a library, not the language. And there are plenty of them, for instance QtConcurrent or ICC.

Let me remind you of the old anti-space colonization argument: The Gobi desert HAS a breathable atmosphere and I don't see people living there.

Shouldn't it be called 'shipyard' instead of 'factory'?
Which may be impossible in near future. Some countries already considering dumping cash completely (sorry, can't remember which one was it).
No even progressive. Even a simplest, linear income-based tax makes better folks on bigger income pay more.
That's the spirit, boy!
Ever heard of screwdrivers? Most of the laptop failures can be fixed, parts replaced. I've been through laptop's disk and motherboard replacements.

Yeah, and birds (and reptiles) are technologically superior because they 'developed' controlled flight gazillion years before we did.
