How is this different then putting my copy of the magazine in the men's room so that all the guys can read it? What about the copies on the waiting room tables in doctors/dentists/etc. offices? Should we make everyone who reads something while taking a dump pay for the mag? This is getting increasingly ridiculous...
Mine actually has a Solutions and Services department for each large scale application. So teams are formed to build new solutions for the application and to maintains the current code-base. Services does all "non-project" length work also, so we keep our minds and fingers busy with coding from time to time so it is not just one liners and/or debugging all the time.
I was in the USAF for 10 years. America has been flying reconnaissance missions in international waters close to the borders of various countries (Russia, China, etc.) for more years than I have been alive (I am 40). This is nothing new folks. We have been "spying" if you want to use that word, since we have had aircraft with the range to do roundtrips from whatever bases we had close to the contries borders. China knows this. Has known it for over 40 years! So please, don't keep referring to this incident as if the Chinese were somehow in the dark and that this is a new phenomena. It is not.
Katz, I agree with some of the things you have said. We have promoted our products and goods very hard in other coutries. Hammering governments to open trade to our companies, many times at the expense of other countries cultural heritages. Canada is a case in point. Look how our publishing companies try year after year to flood the markets in Canada with our magazines when they have very little to offer in the way of anything Canadien.
But, to say that because we are pigheaded in trade somehow correlates with being dishonest about what we are doing when in international waters is stretching the argument just a little too thin don't you think? Especially when the Chinese have know for 40+ years that we are out there everyday taking pics and scanning their radio broadcasts? Come on!
It sounds like you read this book and all of a sudden you are duh,duh,duh,dun! a believer! Well, we understand truth and honesty and a whole lot of other things better than the chinese do. So what if they lose face. They won't let our people go because they know when the truth comes out it will cause them a huge loss of face. Out of the mouths of our airman and the electronics of our black boxes will come the FACT that their pilot was the one who screwed up. The face loss to the world will be tremendous! They have no proof at all that our airman were at fault. None! Just one face-saving chinese pilot trying to blame everything on the US. I don't believe it for a minute. The few facts we do have JUST DON'T FIT the story we are being told.
So Katz, go crawl back into your bed, read your book again, and make the world fit your little delusional fantasies. The rest of us know that access to the facts will lead to the truth and that the truth is better than saving face any day.
