Don't forget, back when there were higher corporate taxes, there were breaks and incentives for capital investment within the U.S. Made sense, financially, to produce stuff here. But once low tax rates came in, so there were no up front savings for local production (and lower tariffs/free trade agreements/favored nation status, etc.) made total business sense to move overseas.
Still, now that corporations have been judged to be better than people, as long as the corporations do good and the top 2% are happy, things are going well. All the rest of the lower class ($250k/year income) just need to suck it up and move if they don't like it. Will make it easier for their betters to buy up their property so they'll be doing their part for the rich as well!
I live above 8,000 ft elevation. Not scared for myself but yeah, economic turmoil will suck. But hey, when's the last time you heard of any large organization taking all this 'scare mongering' into account? I mean, besides the U.S. military and all the major insurance companies. But other than them?
Yeah, but unless you're compiling 2GB of static code or rendering a thermal test on an entire apartment high rise across 2000+ processors, you're not doing real work. Get your definitions straight!
What about those Pear Pads I've seen on TV. They look to be 23" 1920 x 1200 displays. Sure, it wouldn't be easy to juggle two of them while walking the wards but at least you'd be able to look at X-Rays pretty easily.
There's VI Touch for iPad but I just SSH to a Linux or Mac and do everything through the terminal. And there's keyboards for iPads as well. So yeah, is not idea coding platform (small screen real estate) but is useful for server support when in meetings or such. Am not tied down to the desk quite so much. I like to think of it as a mobile terminal and internet access point. For that use, it works pretty well.
Check out Sketchbook Pro from Autodesk (both desktop and iPad versions, with free reduce feature versions). I don't have an iPad but have used it on my desktop system (w/Wacom tablet). If the iPad version is similar, it'll be pretty nice.
Yup, I'm all in favor of standard PC users at work getting a VM that's easy to back up/restore and they never touch the actual machine OS. This type of setup would handle about 40% of the people at my work and would make things so much easier.

Hey, hey, hey! None of that forward thinking talk 'round here!
This is Slashdot; home of reactionary fuddy-duddies who don't like change. Especially if it's not the right type of 'cool' change.

If they got rid of two of the tires on each gov't vehicle, I bet they could save a lot of money.
Hey, I just made my first car anthology!
