  1. Re:Outsourcing complainers on Slashdot are hypocri on President Defends Global Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    So you adapted as far as I can tell. Why do that when you can just complain about globalization and blame it all on Bush?

    My point is that nothing will stop globalization and there is NOTHING anyone in the US govt. could do about it. Not that I think Bush doesn't have his flaws, but he's right that trying to stop outsourcing will kill America more than letting it occur.

    Not all would change from that platform, but if it's a big country or corporation changing. You would find it hard to believe the account management people might lose their jobs as a direct effect? Or the indirect effect of lost revenues cutting workforce?

    Sure it woulnd't happen every time directly, but lost of revenue is loss of revenue.

    It might sound inflamatory and perhaps it is. But I have to wonder how many jobs have been lost when companies move to FREE SOFTWARE? We all complain when software isn't free as in beer and we LOVE when we hear about a large corporation moving to Linux/Apache/MySQL or whatever because it's cheaper. But every time that happens, someone or some group loses their jobs because of it. Garaunteed.

    We live in a world economy now so get used to it. Adapt to it or get a job at WalMart.

    What does a "space official" do and how does one become one??

    Even more important, how much do they make? :)

    Yeah, I always go to people's houses, admire their TVs... and then try an lift them!

    "Hey nice TV!!!... it's much lighter than Bob's... and looook! I can hold your $10,000 TV with ONE hand!!"

    If memory serves correctly, Nikitin was also one of the founding members of the blackdown port of Java to linux.

    I also had a calculus class (95 or 96) with professor Nikitin at ASU, we had many conversations about programming and linux in particular. So not only is he a genius mathmetitian, but also a complete linux geek like the rest of us.

    I remember visiting this site way back when too. It is certainly a peice of internet history.

    If no one else is going to do it, Slashdot should make it's own timeline of the internet with all the "really important" happenings on it.
