  1. Re:"recovered to full employment" on Software Development Employment Rises 45% In 10 Years · · Score: 1

    I think your wisdom is beyond question. I would watch you on CNN orate your convictions on any street corner in the U.S.

    Why is Quality Assurance, the new frontier for those of us that are generous to the H1B's?

  3. Re:45% in 10 years != 4-5% per year... on Software Development Employment Rises 45% In 10 Years · · Score: 1

    Is someone beating the drum for more H1B visas?

  4. Re:Wages? on Software Development Employment Rises 45% In 10 Years · · Score: 1

    Why is the tensor, "for every H1B visa issued, one American must stand down from a job," still valid?

  5. Re:How is this different from a carving? on Copyright Drama Reaches 3D Printing World · · Score: 1

    So the issue is the act of some kind of Barter? What if there was no Barter?

  6. AC's Conclusion? on Collision Between Water and Energy Is Underway, and Worsening · · Score: 1

    Burn more of that Coal baby, we'll beat the Chinese yet!

    Typical AC, the U.S. is between two of the largest bodies of water on this planet which is grinningly ignored.

    Regardless of the results of the study, when a person turns on the tap and when what use to be potable drinking water is now the source for a Flair, it begs the question, "What Changed?"

  9. Re:Apple Goes "Old School" on Apple-Liquidmetal Joint Patent Could Enable Futuristic-Looking Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    It's clear your not an investor of AAPL, or you would understand the stock reference. As for, "scaling up", that terminology was fading away towards the end of the last millennium. I think that if 3D printers can build jaw bones, then pretty boxes should be straight forward. As for the reference of even using 3D printers; when their done making pretty boxes, they can be easily reprogrammed to make other useful objects, try that using 'float glass', it involves two layers of molten metal; really? As for just plain common sense; it is very expensive to buy a machine that only builds one kind of thing, but it the machine can build "n" different things, then it is a bargain.

  10. Apple Goes "Old School" on Apple-Liquidmetal Joint Patent Could Enable Futuristic-Looking Mobile Devices · · Score: 0

    In a era of emerging 3D printing of products that meet any design requirement for peoples daily lives, we have the Mac's at Apple yelling, "fire up the furnaces!"

    And stock holders are left to wonder why their investment in Apple is souring.

  11. Re:Sometimes Taking a Long Walk(about 5K) is Usefu on EFF Sues NSA, Justice Department, FBI · · Score: 1

    It appears that more have been hurt by being told the simple truth of data gathering, then by being actually hurt, by data gathering.

  12. Brad Smith, Insider Traitor? on MS Tackles CS Education Crisis With Popularity Contest · · Score: 1

    If the NSA had America's interest at heart, it would make Brad Smiths conversations public?

  13. Re:A whole 100,000 bucks? on MS Tackles CS Education Crisis With Popularity Contest · · Score: 2

    One could suggest that the H1B visa system be inserted into an area of Brad that would be anatomically improbable; I'd watch that on Pay-Per-View.

    Given todays non community oriented businesses, could there be any other outcome then the one discovered so far?

    That would be insane, wouldn't it?

  15. Re:In otherwords on America's First Eco-City: Doomed From the Start · · Score: 3, Informative

    Valid concerns in Florida are Tea Party oriented; and the president knew it. So why would a government type burn $100M+?

    It's like walking by a post and observing a turtle on top of it.

  16. How About Home Use? on New Thermocell Could Turn 'Waste Heat' Into Electricity · · Score: 1

    How about placing ionic liquid-based thermocells on a home roof? Then wire the output to the "Electricity Grid?"

    I just wish I could write a Grant for this. It sounds like a "cool" project.

  17. Sometimes Taking a Long Walk(about 5K) is Useful on EFF Sues NSA, Justice Department, FBI · · Score: 1

    For me, I just get this feeling that the fear mongers are truly clueless. That Machiavelli, and Sun Tzu are just shaking their heads. I don't necessarily agree with everyone, but I've found it beneficial to listen to others grievances; then adapt accordingly.

    I will say this, "I find it hard to trust human preditors."

  21. Shutting Down San 'O, (Best Pair I Ever Saw) on San Onofre's Closure: What Was Missed · · Score: 1

    Funny thing about the company that made the pipes anti vibration assembly, it was for larger pipes. (I guess using metric was the problem.) The big story in Orange County is, "who is going to pay for this party?" As an Edison customer in the O.C., I hope it's the company that made the pipe assembly and NOT Edison.

    And something else, Anahiem use to own 3% of San'O; I guess it's a warning when Mickey Mouse says, "Bye Gang!".

  22. Slow News Day /.? on George Zimmerman Acquitted In Death of Trayvon Martin · · Score: 1

    If the gun Ms. "Stand Your Ground" had used was 3D printed, it could be considered as interesting. But one a-whole fighting another to the death is not interesting, or news. Also, one should notice that avoiding hard questions causes calcium erosion in the spinal column, it has been noticed that there tends to be yellowish discoloration in the abdominal area. Other symptoms are a lack of ability to face one's antagonist in the optical area. The one question I have is, "If the deceased had a working phone, why didn't he call for help when followed by a human predator?" One can only imagine the nightmare Ms. "Stand Your Ground" would be facing today.
