"We look at the rise of China, the investment and the smart people and we are in awe of what has occurred here," Schmidt said.
"And we salute the government, key leaders in the industry and all of you who have made the rise of the Internet in China such a tremendous accomplishment."
Well said for the fork tongued Stanfordite. Exclusionist (Stanford Arrogance) and a sellout(China)!
There are certain games that can't be published or sold in Germany.
Irrelevant and only asking to get someone to G*dw*n a thread.
Get over it - it's a global economy and that means different rules in different places. Thankfully France (the only country to resist the siren song of Asian slave labor) knows what problems happen (and react properly) with such sellout economies and has the balls to stand up to China. Google seems to be a hypocrite again in the same subject- fighting France and those who would normally take the tack of anti-globalization (when working with countries similar to economic models such as France would be the "norm" if by policy) as much as they help towards the execution squads in China.
note: if the parent poster is screwing around, personally I dont care. Actually, if she had the grades and the money to get into M.I.T. , she should have had enough 'smarts' to not do what she did.
Think of this as intellectual Darwinism at it's finest. If she had no clue about pirating , she is NOT M.I.T. material.
Either way, it proves beyond simple reasoning why any student should be able to just go in unimpeded by a "Prestige Class" syndrome - no admissions committee, no ding letters, no "crafted to fail even the smartest" scholarships - just purely open admissions. This way people do get to learn, and possibly have less worry about staying there as they arent beholden to admissions critieria.
Let her learn, then tack on the $5000 fee to the student loan as a suggestion. To suggest a destiny of a debtors prison is hinting that they dont even care how blatant they are. They just want their money, and they dont care if they look like Boss Tweed.
Of a more ironic note, note that open admissions universities were some of the first to be targeted while the Ivies all but get delayed action or get bypassed in the name of "education". It's something to think about every time you see another lawyer grow his or her horns and work another case for the *AA.

Sure, some of you think it'd be economic suicide, but given how we've been sold down the river with no true signs yet of economic recovery**, you might as well scrap the current safety nets and redo them under similar models to France. In the current system, there no longer is the mobility that is talked about when you can be dropped at a hat and offshored. You're going to have to do the unthinkable and consider that 1) Allowing offshoring to make up for jobs is NOT sound policy domestically, 2) Removing any hint of selection of students for higher education for "prestige class building", and 3) You will have to deal with displaced workers on their terms if you do offshore. Those 3 concepts allow for obtaining the knowledge to be working in a specific field, but also be able to retrain with no problem of getting stuck with a bad university, on top of being able to know that (in practice) you can move on your terms.
**- Jobless recovery comes to mind, and the Rust Belt isnt exactly looking at you nicely either. Imagine that you wake up and fall a whole floor to a basement. Then you discover there are no stairs out towards prosperity.
Well, why does the phrase "'told you so" come to mind? Even if it's just an investigation, previous "investigations" of similar types resulted in one thing - the foreign country being told flatly to drop it and leave this to the US. This should be quite interesting to see when China finds itself increasingly shut out. 1.4 billion people does not make for a good lobby when you dont fulfill your end of the bargain on trade by dumping low quality goods made from slave labor on the majority of the world.
BTW, you might want to look at China as they're quite xenophobic themselves.
It's never going to happen without a wad of cash. To paraphrase a well-known line with applies here... "Your lack of faith in regulation is disturbing."
It might be enough to get one by paying them off, but putting regulation back in applies it to all. Just save your wad of cash for the politician and get it done that way.

There is no remedy. It's called heavy handed regulation.
You could add 4 T221's and watch all those widescreen dvd's in a window all their own after figuring out where the nearly inexistent play button is on the 3840x2400 display. Or to literally stretch it to the next level, do one fullscreen spread over the four monitors for a nice, torturous benchmark. To reproduce results: just fork over $29000-42000 for the displays, please.
You can ask for a law to be passed that prevents offshoring. It will work... for a while. Eventually, your companies will become non-competitive thanks to not being able to utilize the cheaper resources... which others WILL utilize. And then they will die. Your economy will suffer, and so will you then. And what is worse, with a weakened economy, *everyobody* in your countrey suffers. Not just those working in the IT.
Heavily regulating offshoring into oblivion sure beats a 21st century Tammany Hall* where most (if not all) legitimate US work is gone, and education that would get any "escape-velocity"** work costs you your firstborn. Maybe you need to rethink that idea when you arent living in territory that approximates an economically created Hell on earth. String that with rising education costs with no regard to the incoming students (let alone the inability to break "Prestige schools" with guaranteed acceptance), the lack of income to move to desirable territory, with the 1-2 punch of removing 2 entirely profitable classes of work- you have the result of listening to Mises' siren song.
Unfortunately you will be laughed at and you wont survive the fight that you will not win in the Rust Belt with your policy. The Dubai Ports deal is good proof that regulation can and will happen(as well as being done in favor towards the US). Just a matter of connecting the need to unconditionally provide access and full funding to any place of higher education (where those of the Rust Belt can outnumber the Far Easterns at MIT for example) with the guarantee of not being offshored out of a job, then connect both to the need to have the nation act in the best interest of its citizens.
You don't *have* to take one for the team though, so as to speak. Adapt. Make yourself more competitive to make hiring you. Improve. And keep doing everytime the competition adapts as well. Run the Red Queen's race. Run to stay where you are. It is a harsher world now.
There's nothing wrong with adaptation - it's only a matter of regulation adapting the environment for the times ahead. Before you consider any perceived evil of regulation, it is only from meddling with the regulating authority through purchasing Congress, and selling the constituents' jobs off to places that dont reciprocate. This is where France has it right by their general policy of being worker friendly (despite what some people say on Murdoch's Economic Comedy Channel and Far-Right Mouthpiece), and where Russia has it right by having the outright balls to drop the hammer hard on misbehaving corporations (versus a handslap in the US).
The only way you're going to get globalization (with respect to offshoring) to work is if you start all over only with countries that deal with quality of life seriously (e.g. France) and expand outward, attracting the other countries to join and agree to strictly enforce high product quality and quality of life standards. Then you can attract the countries such as China and India with prosperity in human rights when they cannot just act with impunity towards their own people. When people can move back and forth freely between countries and industries with minimal effort, that is when globalization is done correctly with adequate provisions to minimize difficulty in the transfer. It is not a case of Harrison Bergeron(the incorrect portrayal to justify inequality) or A Brave New World(which is where we may be headed with continued globalization), but a case of adapting the environment to what is needed.
It's a matter of putting our own national interest ahead of selling ourselves down the river to worse times ahead. To take your word for it, "Harsh again. But that is how it is now. Sorry.". You're going to have to live with the idea that offshoring must be heavily controlled if you are to have prosperity instead of an eventual case on the national level of Bonnie and Clyde.
I'll consider trusting them when they abandon their Stanford exclusionist philosophy, and start looking eastward to the place called the Midwest instead of merely flying over it.
Somehow your message would not be well-received in the Midwest - as recovery hasnt even happened. What you call recovery is all but economic disaster - end a perfectly fine industry or three, keep education costs out of reach, and otherwise turn the area into territory even Boss Tweed couldnt picture having more perfectly.
Something this deep will unfortunately require the Midwest to benefit in a similar fashion to what the US did for the Dubai ports deal. Except this time, the Midwest is the benefactor, and it's via protected industries and quality education that paves a route towards allowing all, not just the top 2%, true economic prosperity.
If there is any recovery, it will be when you can go to Michigan or Ohio and not wonder why you feel like you're in [economic] Hell. It will also be when you can get an education without going beyond a 4 digit price tag for 4 years worth- with the selection in the hands of the student, not those who want to build a "Prestige University". It will also be when such education will result in a job that is not at all wage slavery, and that such education can be provided to remove any disadvantage.
If globalization had effective transitioning plans for the disaffected, you wouldnt need such drastic recovery measures. However, it's too late when it's this far. The damage is done and there is little alternative in the Midwest. What "recovery" may be seen is only class division.
That would take them out of their goldfarming business that not-so-coincidentally is on unlimited time (versus the limits on their domestic servers). Not as if they don't have people keeping them busy in the quest to keep them from doing their "Heavenly Mandated" duty to farm (valuables).
...It's not like they really ban anybody for botting there, it's practically par for the course. Bots roam freely there, and nobody cares what keyboard you have. They only care about revenue.
I really don't think they are planning on selling the standard home user a 7200VXR chassis!
The way cisco works, I doubt they'd care as long as they paid up, even if it means they gave up their firstborn for the term of the contract. I'd only be worried when I start seeing "Eternity" on their site as a valid option for a contract term for CCO access to support.
This is the same company that decided to mess with healthcare and retirement in the mid-90s on its own workers in the US, yet preserving the modern day Executive Golden Parachute.
Given all that happened over here in the Rust Belt with NCR, this is action worthy of a salute. They were once a company that actually gived a damn about their workers, and it showed through the quality of the products - only to be killed by their early use of India in the 1980s, later dealings with AT&T, and their aforementioned transition into a pioneer of worker inhumanity. Now the only thing you readily see that looks like quality work is their ATMs.
Everything else from Old River to in its hometown is demolished or sold off to landgrabbing exclusionists.
Serves them about right to have this kind of justice happen, even if it's Down Under. If this strike happens, and the downtime is as predicted by the employees, there is no wrong they have done.
If you can pay off one of these as an individual (for personal use) in one shot, then I'd bet you might as well prepare a greeting for them. The evil bit is on by default - these set off red flags just by their own existence in an individuals's possession in the very least (varying on income and quantity purchased).
Nevermind the Mac Mini (of both types), it's harmless to pay off in one shot. When you buy something made with little regard to quality, why should they bother investigating?
3. Paper records for the voter. Worst case, every voter has a copy of their own vote. Hard to use for a recount, but could help identify irregularities.
The only way this would be viable is if you were to be able to hand carry the paper output (in something to conceal the choices, of course!) over to a locked ballot box within the area after examining it in the machine - just as done with paper based voting. When the day is done, you count both totals separately, with the electronic count performed separate from the paper count, with full transparency. No personally identifying information on the printouts, just the selections made as it was done before electronic voting.
A third record in the form of a printout would be retained as it is currently done with electronic voting for the current purpose. This would be kept separate from all other records and only used in a recount. Not perfect, but the idea is that you're going raise the bar high enough to increase the visibility of any attempts, and the amount of resources to pull anything off. You arent going to stop the dedicated, but you'll certainly be able to find a lot more low-hanging fruit.
