The PTC conference, which had 4,000 attendees, features information and communications technologies, public policy initiatives, business development strategies and industry forecasts from an Asia Pacific point of view. Well, at least they're clearly stating that they wish to act in the interests of offshoring, specifically to places that are friendly to worker abuse or areas that intend to treat businesses as godly entities.
The glut of fiber capacity led to plummeting prices . just at the time when developing nations like India and China opened their economies to global competition and the nations of Eastern Europe moved into the orbit of the European Community.
Competitive does not mean "hand every advantage to Asia". That includes everything from offshoring to making the problem worse by not adopting a policy of no-nonsense, universal admission for citizens seeking higher education- getting our own house in order before accepting any guests. If the immigrants want to take university spots, fine - just have them in service to the citizens.
I'd hardly call China's economy open given the hurdles it puts on foreign investment yet flooding nations with low quality manufacturing. That means not falling on your own sword on for the sake of prosperity, nor doing so if asked.
The near-term result was the explosion of offshoring, as companies in industrialized nations found they could find highly qualified suppliers of services in countries where prevailing wages were a fraction of those in their home markets....or just people in slave-labor countries, countries that peg their currency below the dollar, or countries that exist as a loophole to discourage countries to put regulation on businesses.
Industrial Metamorphosis: factory jobs are becoming scarce. It's nothing to worry about.
Well, it's not like they're hiding they're cards on this one - they assume a very myopic view that prosperity can come out of globalization even if they avoid working on solutions with the displaced on the displaced's terms. Unfortunately, that's opposite of what will have to happen in the Midwest if they're going to get any traction greater than spinning wheels on ice. Otherwise they'll be seeing more pitchforks and less cooperation.
The Populist Myths on Income Inequality - NY Times Sept 7 06
Apparently they think a bit highly of places known for their populism - I didnt know states like Ohio and Michigan were a large bunch of "university towns" disconnected from reality. The only disconnection that's provable is one from prosperity. Get that Harvardite in that article a 2 week visit across the Rust Belt, maybe it'll give him a more informed opinion.
According to the Intelligent Community Forum's website, Cleveland, Ohio made the Top 7 list in 2006 Somehow I think this was a token gesture and not a serious inclusion given they hold Ohio highly in no other light. Get a CCW permit, learn how to use that weapon, and Cleveland's quite fine. For education, you'd be better to avoid places in Ohio that dont try to have a prestige policy for admission for 4 year universities. That also includes Ohio State, which receives government funds yet also acts like it is CWRU Columbus.
In short, this group is indistinguishable from the ITAA and its kind.
Ironic that those are two of the most restrictive hardware+OS groups that partially get the switch to x86. One of them comes from a background of HCL games and license keys just to use some forms of hardware (*cough*E10k*cough)- the other seems to get a unwise idea to block interoperability yet look like another version of the same platform.
Unfortunately of the two, only Sun seems to get it right - Opensolaris is more about distribution (unless you have a Sparcstation, then it's about putting support behind an iron curtain), while OS X seems to be of exclusion(also the theme of many other things of Apple).
However, I'd trust neither of them with their known history to break compatibility in the manner each has done. Fine if you want to throw exotic standards in just to break compatibility with existing hardware, leave out hardware documentation to allow for deliberate incompatibility, or even require license keys just to use the *hardware* (not software, but the E10k keys case). Don't be surprised if people make up for the difference and run it on commodity hardware, or hardware that is just designed with some actual quality from the ground up.
There is no abridgment of freedom of speech or the press here, no matter how many littegreenfootballers have screamed out in unison. How ironic of a statement given how they hide behind being a private entity to silence people. At least their opposition allows them to present their case, even if it defies the "majority opinion".
We (I and other) Americans aren't as skilled or hard working as foreigners, so our solution is to just let more immigrants in?
The short answer to this is no. The longer answer is to allow people who are already here as full (multi generational) citizens to incur no penalty on full citizenship in business and education compared to recent immigrants. If that means going to MIT and actually seeing US citizens in non token percentages(on a non-competitive admission basis), or if Stanford loses its ivory tower image, fine. If you want globalization, the only
If our best solution is to let someone else do the job right, what does that say about our work ethic and ingenuity as a country? In the problem of foreign labor, it only works when full citizens are allowed an actual opportunity to catch up. Adding globalization while cutting citizens out of the process completely only sends people towards the solutions of protectionism.
It'd be nice to clean up the image of running a business as well, but that is asking too much. Something about the CEO of an energy company and a ski resort town comes to mind - and the doubt of the person's death as well. A certain other turncoat of a company comes to mind as well that ramrods itself into towns whether the citizens want them there or not.
That's something that the T4*p series and the older A3*p series do as a function of their hot processors. Want toast? Make your own heatsink and launch Doom 3.
Unfortunately closed mindedgroups and certain people have a bit of an agenda that isnt simply "find the truth". The first one may be a clear given, the third one politically motivated but still within the ballpark, but the second one regarding Reuters shows the true colors of who the critics are(and how they slant).
That is, Pajamas Media (the group associated with most of the criticism) has too much of a country club, right-wing, and pro-Israel slant(and does not mind showing it in the case of LGF). It continues on from LGF to Michelle Malkin who seems to get the idea that she is to dish but not take criticism(see all her entries that haven't yet been banned and see the "comments disabled"). This continues on to HotAir, also known as A**ahpundit, where they take on the unofficial policy that is summarized as "We're not responsible for the comments, but existence isnt guaranteed". While these may be the flagrant offenders, others may take parts of that policy; the constant is that they declare themselves holier than the "MSM".
If there's anything to be learned out of that group, it's to seek information that is factual, and has enough proof to make multiple opposing sides agree on the course of events. Otherwise, I'd rather read them, and then take a more serious look at those who allow a more open dialogue to see what pans out. If they're just going to delete and demonize the opposition, they're just speaking to the choir. In cases such as Reuters, I'd rather hear the objection come from someone who at least doesn't rely on hiding behind the "private group" defense to justify their objections to criticism.
Before those who support those groups say that "the other does it as well"- yes, it happens. However, such actions appear on a regular basis with such groups as Pajamas Media, and that they do so blatantly enough to make it a sign of their presence. Their policy and protocol is something that requires one to take their opinions a very large cube of salt before believing.
Followed by some "investigations" of various members of his administration to the point where Michelle "Blabbermouth" Malkin gives up on trying to spin things.
It's not like there's not enough material to cover 2 years straight to make it worthwhile enough to use a veto.
Wouldnt this list be the be the 10 IT products best to avoid? Vista's on there(the "only game in town"), HP's on there(enough said), and the rest are mostly revenue generating devices that come in a box.

Unfortunately, readers and acolytes of thesefineechochambers seem to get it wrong(and not mind it)- just see how fast a legitimate and correct idea gets the user banned. If you object, they hide behind the vanguard of untouchable private entity. Thus, you have the makings of one unified entity that prefers to silence the crowd instead of listening to it. See the cancellation of the Fairness Doctrine as an example of an echo chamber rejecting the crowd.

It might be more than just a pppd that is aware to bluetooth connections, but that'd be the general direction to look when cutting this guy at the pass. Dont worry, he'll be humbled when there's someone that does it without the Ivory Tower mindset. There was some talk about porting existing stuff from some linux app to OS X, IIRC.
As for the other posts before me in this thread, Alexking (and ArrogantMurmur) just justifying (their personal) arrogance and elitism, crazyray. Why it happens on this platform a lot more is an exercise to the reader.
Where have ethics gone? Corporate America used to have it but it lost it somewhere in mid 90s.
They lost it a lot earlier thanks to Reagan. It's a lot easier to go to the bargaining table when you just gave corporations a signal that they could smite workers at will without a care in the world.
For some reason slashdot requires the facts to be stated and restated in multiple posts without actually changing anyones opinion on anything (mostly because they read only what confirms their own worldview anyway).
Apparently you dont know about NCR after AT&T with respect to the leadership under Nyberg. Carly seems to be off the radar as well. Nor do you seem to remember how far they went to keep her.
However much you trust the effectiveness is irrelevant. You keep an eye on them if you're that worried.
With HP's history on Carly Fiorina, they warrant such scrutiny. Also, Hurd's time at NCR under Lars Nyberg validates it even more if these actions were allowed to happen.
my question for the cynics: If this is bad 'justice', what should've happened?
A penalty that cannot be passed on to downstream parties outside of HP. Ideally it would be something that is passed on directly to those responsible, allowing the less ethically challenged parts to continue operating.
With multiclass shares and stock dilution as possible weapons, I doubt that avenue could be used if you're viewed as a hostile person with a ton of cash.
That explains this Country Club Conservative and her IDF spokesperson equivalent perfectly. Nothing like people who go the extra mile to hear their voice echo, and only their echo.
I thought you could buy shares in Google if you have an extra $500 laying around. Doesn't that make it a public company? I does seem to me that when google sold itself for all those billions, it traded the money for some public input.
That public input is only meaningful if there is any meaning to the 1/10th class shares. If there is a regulation prohibiting such structures without penalty based on how difficult it is to check the power of the company, and how well said shareholders betray the smallest defined consumer there would be some meaning. Other than that, the folks from Stanford Labs Inc. just act like they're transparent but are completely as opaque as a country club.
People may be treating Google as a public utility, but Google (a private company) has absolutely no obligations to any website.
and Ultimately, Google* has the right to change the rules when & if they please, in an arbitrary fashion, without consulting anyone. *When I say "Google" I mean "the guys who own a majority stake in the company and cannot be overruled"
Somehow I would think that's quite troubling given their background. Corporate deification immediately comes to mind when I think of Google. That is, companies are allowed to act without any practical bounds other than "getting caught". If they do get caught, they hide behind the vanguard of "private entity" and bring up small business if they're about to be hit with something effective. If it is indeed effective, they attempt to circumvent it or leave in a way most damaging to the region.
In other words, stop treating companies like they're $DEITY on earth and that they can do evil at will with no practical consequences.
And will it surprise anyone when the new Democratic Congress starts pushing legislation through to tax it?
Outside some small percentage of the population, is that really a problem? It sure brings out all the free-trade lobbyists, thinktanks and all the other demons to the table in their true form. Right now, they dont care much how they look in terms of PR- they're trying everything just to stuff in as many measures (APEC for more MFN's in Asia, Colombia MFN status) before they no longer have any meaningful pull.
This time, I hope that penalties are made in forms that cannot be passed on to downstream parties so the appropriate signals to Congress and business get sent; the signal being that the government isnt subservient to a "artificially personified entity".
To the chagrin of some, let's get to the point of taxing it. I'm sure there's a condition that would meet that person specifically that could be made generic enough to pass as well. Apparently some mods are on crack - one small fee seems to be the only real equivalent to a "tax", which can be absorbed easily by that New Yorker who turns it to an equivalent of a one person Housing Committee of a gated area. In other words, what is wrong with just returning a penalty back?
Yes, taxes might be known to be bad, but it's amazing that they listened to objections of business over the regular users in the CopyBot debate over just letting it happen and having people adapt to it.
If you're going to prohibit things like libSL and cloning, you might as well have that in to keep wayward folks in check to keep them busy.
See it in this light and maybe you'll wonder what's wrong with dumping parts of an audience and actually serving it.
