Au revoir, Tesla. Looks like the first really useful production electric cars will come from a real car company (like Renault/Nissan), not a bunch of Internet egoists.
You misspelled General Motors. Renault/Nissan has yet to make anything in car form beyond an I4 that wasn't under $20000(or even over it, either). Never mind that what does come from that pair is influenced heavily by (overzealous) European environmental policy - compacts or $80000+ exotics as the only options.
China visibly and provably improving its human rights and freedoms should have been a prerequisite of being given the olympics, not just a half-hearted, vague promise (with fingers crossed) to sort of improve, without actually changing things. Expecting China to follow through once it had secured the event was foolish in hindsight. By that point the IOC had no sanction, they were never going to take it away, China knew that, so they could do what they liked.
This is what you get with countries that do not stand up to China. Appeasement in a form worse than Danegeld.
Perhaps it is due time to stand up to that country and embargo. If it takes their country down, so be it - that's the only way to end their practices and end foreign appeasement. At least the US still has some factories left to take up the slack.
Are you too uneducated to realize that a lower cost of labor would lead to lower quality, and in turn to a lower real income for you and everyone else?
You are correct on that part. IBM's PCD held the manufacturers to a standard, Lenovo is only killing their products feature by dropped feature. One day it's the logo, the next day it's Flexview, the day after that it's standard(4:3) screens altogether, next thing that drops is the legendary keyboard.
If you're seeing people swapping in/out T61p 14" boards to keep their Flexview display or even refitting non-Flexview models, there is a sizable market that is just not being served.
'The report makes it clear that the H-1B program is rife with abuse and misuse,' says Ron Hira, [a professor] at the Rochester Institute of Technology... However, both Presidential candidates, Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain, have said they support expanding the program.
The only problem with that is that John McCain has Carly Fiorina of HP infamy on his staff. She failed at HP and now wants influence at the national level. No such equivalent is on the Obama's staff or any other candidate.
Both major candidates might "support" it, but Satyam, Infosys, and others have their money largely on McCain.
An international spam ring with ties to Australia, New Zealand, China, India, and the US
Two of these are not like the others. One is known to be an unprosecutable Melamine Country, and the other is known as an unprosecutable Offshoring Country.
One can only guess who's going to get away with their crimes.
As a result, small-scale production for a local market is replaced by large-scale production for the world market, where firms with similar products compete with one another.
That can explain why the wants of developed world have been largely become a special case of the developing world. That is quite a problem.
Now can there be someone who figures out how to allow the developed world to have their wants heard(quality without exorbitant price) and not as a special case of a developing one(such as just making it slightly better and/or shinier junk)?
Make it possible to not have things boil down to junk cheap or exorbitantly expensive(if at all).
One consistent thing with Asus seems that they don't seem to do quality (EEE or not, a lot of their stuff looks cheaply constructed/designed). I'm not talking about quality that the Far East may be used to, but the quality that this side of the world had.
Is too much to ask to attempt a model without those knockoff/cut-rate components(and not use an ODM)?
Exactly what is proof of that? Can you provide any evidence? Which email(s), *specifically*, are you referring to as proof? Or are you just pulling this out of a bodily orifice? To my knowledge, there isn't any evidence that Palin either used her Yahoo email account for official State business, or used the official government email system for non-State business.
2. The H1B program allows for _american_ companies to avoid using citizens who would normally be qualified
Corrected for accuracy.
The H1B program is a cleverly crafted law in some ways
I believe several law firms would agree. Their business is to make sure no citizen can get the job, and must be stopped.
Race or geographical location has everything to do with their abilities
You are aiding and abetting people who wish to make citizenship in the US a burden.
The free market will, at the end of the day take care of it
Such things do not exist in the form you think they exist.
Does the H1B program get abused as the article states ? Absolutely. I have seen it happen myself. There are huge number of shell companies ( called consultants ) out there who are absolutely flooding the H1B channels with applications for requirements which do not exist.
When citizenship is no longer burdened by labor consultants that abuse this, then immigration can be considered. Otherwise:
For law firms that have used immigration law against citizens, I hope they make it hard if not nearly impossible for them to do "requirements that exclude every citizen by design" anymore.
...released Touchless SDK for a test spin, controlling his Asus Eee PC 901
Although McAllister was able to draw, scroll, and play a rudimentary game with his tomato, the SDK still has some kinks to work out. 'For starters, its marker-location algorithm is very much keyed to color,' he writes. 'That's probably an efficient way to identify contrasting shapes, but color response varies by camera and is heavily influenced by ambient light conditions.' Moreover, the detection routine soaked up 64 percent of McAllister's 1.6GHz Atom CPU, with the video from the Webcam soon developing a few seconds' lag that made controlling onscreen cursors challenging.
Perhaps a machine would be in order that didn't go to the extreme of energy-saving and low-quality manufacturing. Start from the top side and then work down.
Yes. He's mad than Sun dropped support for a 15+ year old processor architecture over 6 years ago.
Only recently was this information even available, with the only clues being in the Solaris 9 notices, and the Opensolaris 9 release.
Never mind that there were truckloads of Ultra 1 & 2 machines for sale cheap on eBay at the time...
One of which had a serious bug that nearly made it(Ultra 1) as dead as a quad-ROSS SS-20. Opensolaris nearly shunned it, but it and the Ultra2 survived due to being "Ultras with SBUS".
IPC/IPX's and Sun3's are one thing. Sparcstation 20's that can be coaxed to display 1080p on a CG-14(see sun-rescue mailing list) are another.
If it's The Almighty and Unquestionable Governor of Alaska, they make due haste to find and prosecute. If it questions The Almighty and Unquestionable Governor of Alaska, they make due haste to stall prosecution.
Proof of what? The only proof one could extract from the emails is that she was careful not to use government resources for non-governmental purposes, along with proof that many people seem to think the ends justify the means by cracking Palins' email account in the first place along with astroturfing outright lies, and that this kid was not only a partisan hack, but an extremely stupid one.
It is proof of misuse of government property, with the purpose to circumvent regulation.

Well, if the only thing he knows to do afterward was play the banjo, that will make him a man of constant sorrow.
As long as we get to send the Palins over there for getting the Thatchers over here, fine.
As for "invading", you're a bit late for that side of the pond with respect to the French. Not all of them left for the United States.

While that may be an article reporting it - there is something that caught the attention of the judge to require them to retain them.

Showing it the middle finger does the same thing.

Well, one good turn (PSARC 2002/013 (FastTrack, sun4m EOL, closed approved automatic 1/4/02)) deserves another (jumping ship from MySQL).
Well, at least you can put your business there as a tax dodge.
