These robots will no longer be produced in Japan due to high labour costs, but instead will be made where the populace is routinely starved and beaten down by the ruling elite: the USA!
US geeks celebrate your assured high tech future relevence!
Early on I look for people that have more hours than others and I try to mitigate that by visiting them and just talking over what they have to do on a high level with them. 09:30-1:15 -- mgr walked in to discuss strategic planning and proper time management; gave me a dirty napkin & some URLs; called wife to let her know i'll be late tonight
Chargebacks cost the store/supplier/seller, not the customer. It's one reason why stores/sellers will sometimes be reasonable when there's a dispute over a credit charge.
As someone posted earlier, the credit card companies aren't the ones groaning financially at the cost of fraud...
Keep in mind that "Software Professionals" have a separate Temporary Visa program here in Canada. I believe the Canadian rules are somewhat less strict than the H1-B/L-1A set. That said, I'm not sure who the target for recruitment is here: Canadians and/or temporary foreign workers.
I think the Republicans should nominate Condoleeza Rice as their Presidential candidate actually. A gay black woman should be able to beat Hilary or that puppet Obama. Do you have a source? Or I have been mesmerized too long by that gap in the teeth to notice the rumours/signs.
One alternative I rarely see discussed is the view of SDI (by the USSR) as an offensive shield rather than a defensive one, i.e., one meant to enhance aggressive capability. Use the shield to give one the tactical edge in a first strike scenario...
The real news story would be any government organization, US or foreign, that _WAS_ entrusting valuable national secrets to a third party vendor anywhere.
Happens all the time up here in Canada -- home of RIMM, btw.
For example, the British Columbia government uses Accenture, IBM and Maximus -- all firms subject to US data recovery legislation.
They'll remain intact until they burst open to reawaken Cthulhu and the other Great Old Ones -- thus ending humanity's time on Earth. So, yes, we're quite confident.
If the hydrant suddenly burst open, showering all nearby bikini-clad officers, I'm sure they could sell enough tickets to make up for any revenue lost due to piracy.
The Chinese government is cracking down on the use and trade of rare species of wood. A guy I know who make his living making and selling high end Chinese style furniture is doubling his prices due to this.
But it eventually leads to horse-sized Roombas which can be GPS, waypoint and optically-guided to pick up both litter and miscreants! It'd be tourist attraction just by itself!
You mean up here in Canada we were secretly importing Saddam's oil by way of our massive fleet of naval ships and so couldn't join in the latest Iraq escapade?
Wow -- I wonder if the current Canadian government (who were in favour of joining the war) realised what would happen to our precious oil supply...

It should be given a chance -- give it enough rope to hang itself.

I'll hold onto it while you guys decide.
You Mexicans keep quiet down there!

How will the information technology revolution be extended?
This is an economic/electrical engineering issue.
Bah -- don't overly complicate things.
Simply patent Moore's Law and innovation will follow.

Wow -- watching that again was like meeting the bastard child of Buck Rogers and Heavy Metal!
No wonder I can't remember anything from that Christmas!

Yike -- poor choice of words! How soon until iTubGirl?!

You obviously haven't "greased" the right wheels.
I do miss the beer though :(
Now I'm confused -- so the answer is actually, "it's free as in beer"?
I've been supporting FOSS for the wrong reason all these years!
If you really want to make money, patent not commenting code.
They could be sending credit card numbers, or SSNs, or your personal files, or your porn, or even every single piece of data on your computer!
I've never read a more self-redundant sentence.
Better keep your contacts back here just in case you need help to move your money back in a hurry.
"where is the blue E thingy now? How come it works different? Did you break the computer again?"
Time for the screwdrivers...
And by that you mean the alcoholic beverage, right?

There's mention of it here.
