From "The Impact of Offshore Outsourcing on IT Workers
in Developed Countries" by Benjamin B.M. Shao and
Julie Smith David. Communications of the ACM (February
2007/Vol. 50, No. 2): p.93:
"We are currently witnessing a significant paradigm
shift to offshore sourcing. Many companies, large and
small, are pursuing these initiatives earnestly. When
work sent offshore can be done in a timely fashion
with high quality and lower cost, companies facing
intensified global competition and trying to maximize
their profits have little choice but to outsource some
of their IT needs overseas. As global market dynamics
keep driving companies to acquire IT services from
locations that provide the most cost-effective
solutions, offshore outsourcing will remain a viable
option on the corporate strategic agenda."
Right you are, and the DDR (damals) prided itself on the production of a 1 megahertz memory chip. Sic transit gloria dictatori.

Democracy isn't a matter of sitting on your fanny and clicking the radio button of your choice. That kind of "democracy" is the easiest thing in the world to remove--as easy to remove as last year's prime-time tv schedule.
Democracy instead is about getting out and making your voice heard not through the intermediary of HTTP 1.1 but real-time and in the flesh. That's why the established organzations--everyone from the media to local politicians--were held so much in thrall by a handful of demonstrators in Philly in a way that a whole stack of threads around here could never equal.
