There are certain pieces of medical equipment which cannot be exported outside of the US. Should doctors in India require these pieces of equipment for some ultramodern procedure, they may not be able to perform such procedures. I suppose this is what law makers and HMO execs would be chirping about when it comes around to this - Don't worry about these "low-level" jobs going offshore, we still have the "high-tech" stuff here to fill the niche!
The real blame if something like this REALLY happens is the doctors themselves...
It's all about the malpractice insurance costs. Blame the lawyers.
I have a friend who works in an emergency room. He's been sued for everything from making the patient itch or even touching the patient (in this emergency room, where they come in bloodied and half-dead). His insurance bills are $100,000/yr, and that was 3 years ago.
Personally, I'm only looking for sol.c and freecell.c and mineswp.c. I will move the card-bouncing animation in Solitaire onto multiple threads and have it finish even before it gets drawn to the screen!
A sudden loss of confidence in the Windows product could spell disaster for a wide range of occupations - imagine an IT-specific recession, resulting in enourmous layoffs and salary cuts.
But I thought 75% of the IT industry was created by the loss of confidence in the Windows product. No really - would we need that many people on the IT payroll if it wasn't for the need for IT techs to fix things?
A friend of mine who works on the Windows dev team says there's something to the effect of:/*
Do not, under any circumstances, modify this section. There is no documentation available for this section, and the individual who wrote it is no longer working here.
Probably no more than colleges and universities in the US or other First-World countries.
I can't count the number of times I have gone to a computer lab in school, opened the CD-ROM drive, and found a CD with tests, labs, and homeworks from the last 5 years.
I had a class project partner in school who was Bangladeshi, and I didn't need a watch, because she would call him precisely at 9:00pm, 10:00pm, 11:00pm, etc. right on the tick. Actually, that is if he's lucky enough to stay past the 5:00pm dinner time "curfew."
Intel, AMD - for example, Pentium 133-200 are the exact same chip. The chips which can be overclocked without failure are sold as 200's.
Automakers - Chrysler, for example, sold the same car as the Dodge Aries, Plymouth Reliant, Chrysler New Yorker, etc. with more or less leather, features, etc. according to each vehicle class. Or the classic case - the Chrysler LeBaron resold with leather seats as a new model with the newly acquired Maserati.
I apologize for not being able to answer your question. I live in the US, you see. I am not familiar with the concept of government incentives and payments in exchange for favors from the corporate sector.
Not only that - I live in a state which will give 2+ billion US, free training to their workers, freeway expansion around their facilities, and a free cargo dock to our favorite corporate entity in exchange for 1,200 jobs.
But since our state government knows best, it must be done because it has a tremendous ROI.

You talk about overhead, but you're making the assumption that overworked, 60+ hrs/wk individuals will produce output at a constant rate of high productivity. Also, a very high concern for employers these days is medical. Simply, overworked/tired workers are more likely to get more medical problems and drive up medical costs collectively.
nd I say that it's one of the most difficult engineering curriculums out there. I've had to take a lot of math (multi-variable calculus and differential calculus), a good bunch of science (physics, chemistry; 2 semesters worth), and a nice broad range of engineering courses like Linear Systems and Microcontrollers and many more. If a job expects you to use all of this in the workplace, $53k is well-deserved.
You must still be in school. Didn't you know that you'll only use 3% of all the stuff you learned in all those lectures?
A cousin of mine just graduated from a 3-tier pharmacy school in Oregon, had average grades, and got a job (without inside connections) at a mom-n-pop pharmacy starting at $90,000, plus $5,000 sign-on bonus.
I thought that South Dakota has a good financial industry climate, and that's why lots of credit card companies set up shop there. Does that provide a lot of tech work opportunities?
What about the official font for college freshmen? TNR 14-point is fine when you sort of know something about the topic of the paper you're writing, but TNR 20-point will happily fill the 3-page requirement of the paper.
Those are...internal numbers. You don't need to know about those. Microsoft only releases bug patches which are mature and stable enough for discriminating and demanding consumers.
Beta -> Alpha Community edition -> Beta Official edition -> Release version
It just means people will wait out until the Official Release is available. This will not have a significant impact on defect reduction based on higher rates of beta testing.
That is true. AI has had a history of being fair more often than not. In fact, they published something a while ago to the effect of saying that in spite of the criticism of human rights by the US government, the state of Texas has a higher per-capita execution rate than China. Something to think about, heh?
What the blurb doesn't describe, oddly enough, is the openly racist content of the game. Go dig for older, more detailed articles on Google. It was sufficiently heinous that one wonders if the manufacturer hired the Klan to come up the the design.
Actually, it was designed by an Asian guy. Not to be nitpicky, but aren't you racist for assuming that it was a white guy who designed it?

SCO. They sold one license last week. Up 100% from the week before.

I wonder if the source contains the ENTIRE Windows system, or just the kernel?
It would benefit outfits like Transgaming or Wine if the DirectX source happens to be in the tar file...

Someone told me telephone lines are 40+ volts, with a current averaging around 20mA depending on the circumstances. Apply Ohm's Law as you see fit.
Probably no more than colleges and universities in the US or other First-World countries.

Not a stereotype: I've got a Bangladeshi mom :)
I had a class project partner in school who was Bangladeshi, and I didn't need a watch, because she would call him precisely at 9:00pm, 10:00pm, 11:00pm, etc. right on the tick. Actually, that is if he's lucky enough to stay past the 5:00pm dinner time "curfew."
Thinking back at my college years ( 1 yr ago), let's do a little accounting (keep in mind this is in high-priced real-estate Seattle):
$11,000 yr
assuming 15% tax bracket - about $8,500 after taxes
Rent: $400 / month (sharing with 1 roommate)
Transportation: $35 / month bus pass
Food: $60 / month (less if I cook every single day)
$8,500 / 12 months = about $700 / month
$700 monthly income
- $400 rent
- $ 35 bus pass
- $ 60 food
------------
$205 expendable income
Sure, it's not very fun. But hardly living in poverty.

Isn't it obvious?

Thank you. I'll be here all week. Try the veal.
