What is surprising about this story? The pretty people of the world, be they professional managers or television anchors don't want the nerds to get over on them. The stories of offshoring a nice way the threaten the IT workers and make them accept lower pay or just keep them in their place.
Of course I am oversimplifying, but what genetically blessed person wants to lorded over by the likes of us nerds? Who can blame them for trying to keep us down?
Finally I can get rid of the two piece of garbage Comcast DVRs. I still have to use my old series 2 tivo to guarantee that I can get a show recorded. With 2 comcast DVRs it is crap shoot as to if they actually record.
I have been waiting for this.
Gamers, criminals, and subversives.

I can see a mobile gaming. Imagine having you own little private gaming world. It follows you and people can log on when you are near. Play with people on the train, bus, in the mall.
Change the paradigm, find the game, not find access.
The possibilities for private networks amongst friends that synchronize data when they pass seems pretty high as well. Can you say organized crime?
Too bad your a coward. That was a damn insightful reply.
I work for a mega corporation that is 75% UNIX/LINUX for servers and 95% MS for workstations. It isn't for lack of internal support that we haven't moved to LINUX on the desktop. It is purely economical. The price we get on workstations is great and the support is easier because of the common platform for users.
Users matter, comments from people calling their users lusers doesn't help the situation. We have jobs because the users exist.
MS works that why people spend billions of dollars on their products. Alternatives are good, if the users can't tell what the calendar sharing software is running on they won't complain. When you make it hard on the users they will make it hard on you.
Sorry that was a little rambling but I think I got my points across.
This is moronic. There is no way we should make someone pay for to help their competitor. Imagine being told that you have to give up 10% of your salary and give it to the intern, because he can't find a way to be profitable.
Red Hat found a way to make money off of open source and everyone is mad at them for being the M$ of Linux. This is simply a case of goverment trying to control the free market, not the free market controling itself.
Okay, it is hard enough for some managers to understand what we code mokeys do in the first place. Imagine trying to explain to them that something is just out of tune with the code and you need to work on it.
Of course I would probably find myself trying to get the melody right and then having to explain that their POS system now tracks internet uage patterns because it sounded better.
But seriously, I think it would be cool to hear your code. I don't think this would really aid in debugging, but it might give some insight into one's design patterns.
When this day arrives I will switch to whichever phone company doesn't spam me. If need be I will never upgrade my phone again. I get enough spam already.
I waited until the prices dropped. When RAMBUS memory stated appearing in circuit city I was delighted. It appears that supply has finally caught up with demand and the prices appear to be as good as other RAM prices. I see not reason to give up on the speek offered by RAMBUS because of manufacturing delays.

They make me laugh.
Next we will have Turning's relative claim we all him a fee for any computers.

This is science run AMOK. It must be stopped.
