No one is guaranteed a job. Outsourcing is a good thing. It lets American companies spend less money on IT and allows it to refocus money back into the company on other things. People still have jobs - the ecomony is growing more jobs have been created then outsourced in the past few months. Just because someone wants to have a high paying helpdesk job, doesn't mean they should have one. Removing people that can only do a helpdesk job - they are basically muppets - is better for the US, as it forces people to keep learning new skills. Outsourcing rids companies of often over paid, under worked workers. If you really are good a something you do and provide value, a company will not get rid of you. There are no free rides. Viva la Reagan Revolution!!!!!
You have it backwards, Teachers are way, way overpaid and very, very underworked. 6 months a year, 6 hours a day? Sign me up. That union need to be completely broken, a 12 month school year implimented, and salaries need to be lowered while hours worked goes up drastically.
um, kids that do the best in school often also play sports and have social lives. you need to be balanced. academic achievement is not frowned upon, but guys that watch worthless jap cartoons should be beaten up and frowned upon.
whatever pansy. people like you take the fun out of having a normal beer, smoking a cheap cigar, basically enjoying anything normal because you want to be the jackass that tells everyone what beer is good, what cigar is the best, yadda yadda yadda. You are the reason bar fights happen.
amazingly, you just turned drinking beer into a non-hetero activity. this is why people beat up geeks. and i'm happy it happens. beer is just beer. its not wine. i'm sure you aren't a football player either. i'm betting you think you know the game because you play a simulation on your computer. and you've never had a date. pussy.
whatever piss ant. no one will do anything because there is no reason to do anything. i like the supermarket replacing the stuff I buy. you consider yourself special enough to warrent watching, believe me, you aren't. you are a childlike little bitch that was rightfully bullied and picked on in high school. Hopefully it continues today.
no, any normal tough kid will beat up the wussy that trys Tae-Kwon Do crap. what really happened is the tough normal kid kicked the shit out of you. PUSSY.
get them away from all that crappy asian anime and all the other asian crap that supposedly "gifted" people dabble in (ie nerds). Force them to join sports teams and participate in NORMAL community events. Tell the kid you still expect them to get all the good grades, but they will lift weights, play football, hang out and have fun. they will not be allowed to stay in doors and associate with only other social misfits.
Israel isn't the bad guy? Why should they move their country? that's the dumbest thing I have ever heard? why not ask the arabs to recognize that Israel has a right to exist? I hope to god that we bomb and kill everyone but Israel, including you.
Wow, the FBI wants to do something completely legal to help track and capture some internet criminals (you know, hackers and crackers that think that anything is legal). Gees, you guys are a pathetic bunch of pussies.
Fox news provides the most accurate news in the world today. Just because they don't worship at your tax the rich, America is evil alter, doesn't make them wrong. In fact, it makes the most unbiased and fair new source around. Sorry, but I would go to war and killed 1,000,000 non-Americans to save one American life. We are worth more then they are. Go USA! And why in the world didn't we blow up that chinese rocket? they should have never been allowed to reach space.
must be nice to work for a non-profit company so you can impliment your will like that. real companies that do real business can't throw a temper tantrum to get a perfect network installed. your smugness is refreshing though, i guess your parents are pround you live in there basement
and yet he's still twice the president and leader that clinton was. amazing! a guy that dumb that is running the country better then golden boy clinton! could be that bush is just a better leader and actually likes the country. had clinton been in office for 9/11, we'd still be having candlelight rallies instead of killing the people responsible. go USA, rulers of world.
and did you ever notice that Canadian health care sucks?? Socialism is about the worst form of government to have. spreading wealth equally does nothing but make people all poor. but, since you are just lazy and don't want to work, you like that. I like money. I like having more then other people because i work harder then they do. you, my friend, are a dick.
No open source isn't the point. you are never going to convice normal people that you should care what distribution and what tools to use. Microsoft dominates for one reason, its easy to use and understand. I guess my opinion doesn't count though, I think intellectual property should be protected and nothing should ever be given away for free. Its my idea, not yours. go away communists. Capitalism is the way to go. Pay me for my ideas.
Beautiful, you summed it up perfectly. Life isn't switches and routers, or even Quake3 and Anime. You will learn in college. Whether its in an accounting class or in an English literature class, you'll become a well rounded person. People who have never been to college always assume its just beer swilling. I studied. Being a good coder does not make you intelligent. It makes you a good coder. There is much more to life.

instead of trying to use a tool to solve a problem, try actually getting overpaid and underworked "teachers" to actually try and do some work. break the unions and start making kids actually do some hard math problems instead of skirting them through. teach kids that you have to be able to think and that making money is the most important thing in the world. do not teach windows, linux, be, etc... Teach kids to think critically. do not push "fluff" courses, like afro-american studies and Tv history. every kid should take 3 periods of math, 3 periods of hard science (not biology) and some literature during the day. prepare kids for college. don't prepare kids for life, that's there own problem.

You guys might want to listen to this guy, its Purdue for Christ's sake. I went to Purdue and the more I work the more I realize that most other educational institutions can't come close to Purdue. This guy is on the right track. Mike BS IM/MIS 97
Hey Moron, Microsoft hasn't done anything wrong. They will be cleared because they aren't a monopoly. They are the big fish, but when this finally gets to the supreme court, they will be cleared. There's nothing wrong with microsoft except that you don't like that they run themselves like a business (which is good) and aren't communists, like open-source businesses. Now cry for me. Please cry. Go back to your dorm ninny.

since no one else had trouble, its probably your machine. windows update works for me just fine. don't blame microsoft for your stupidity.
