Or make it harder to not hire, and in ways that are not temporary. You seem to want to have companies have the perfect conditions before they will hire, yet have individuals have to take less than perfect conditions.
You're only making a case for the government to pursue harder. Want them not to? Hire more US citizens in the US, full-time.
The result is a mismatch of skill levels here at home: not enough workers with the cutting-edge skills coveted by tech firms, and too many people with abilities that can be duplicated offshore at lower cost. That's a familiar situation to many out-of-work software engineers, whose skills start depreciating almost as soon as they are laid off, given the dynamism of the industry.'"
Then train them or make it a legal requirement to hire & train them. It's one thing to complain about regular people having to settle with less, why can't a business be made to do the same?
Reads like an justification for offshoring if you'd ask me.

...then complain about a lack of "qualified" candidates.
"With just days before the deadline, BlackBerry's maker was shot down by India in its latest effort to avoid having its services cut off for about a million Indian users of the device. Research in Motion's effort to broaden the debate over data encryption were rejected. The Indian government wants access to users' emails.
Keep their hands off the emails.
The head of a powerful industry group in India accused RIM of taking the wrong approach to negotiations, saying, 'It need not have escalated to this level. Folks like RIM have to understand business is done differently here.'
So if they had to do something that was a crime that would be punished in Canada to be compliant with India, it's excusable?
Will they just drop support for an old edition of a book on a whim a la Sun? Or will they do the right thing and not follow in the publishers' footsteps?
The UAE's telecoms regulator said the move had 'nothing to do with censorship'...except where the monitoring leads to censorship. That is, you can say all you want on the phone, but the censorship would be done off the network.
Sounds like they're bitter about being caught with their hands in the cookie jar with the Etisalat attempt.

It's fine for a company to want and get perfect conditions, but individuals are asked to take less than perfect jobs.
That's the problem to solve, and not in the favor of business.
Like the Helpdesk position I read once that wanted someone with Java, C++ experience and the ability to write his own support tools.
That's not a helpdesk position.

It's one thing to be able to do that, it's another to have tons of people able to do that. Sounds like you would have no problem either way.
No thank you, but some stability is all that is asked, for the majority.
...for already being beholden to foreign offshoring interests?
I would hope that they say "...and we recognize the Senator from India, Carly Fiorina"
How about pre-empting them and putting all our own in first? Train our own, hire our own, prosper with our own.
Then there might be a leg to stand on regarding complaints.
If it costs as much to offshore it or temp it as much as it does to do it properly, those ways of "hiring" might not look so good as a loophole.

So it enables piracy. But if it adds more functionality because of it, that much the better.
Expect anything that is run in the US or the First World to be offshored. Until HP goes back to the old "HP Way", of course.
This guy doesn't care about the US workers at all. See his support on offshoring.

How long until someone creates a scandal out of him to "dispose of him"?
Guess they don't have any backbone to just drop the country and let the end-users take action.
Naturally, Nokia and Blackberry get left out in the cold. Whether that is a good thing remains to be seen.
I'm not sure it's going to be dead as much as they're going to pick the good fruit and let the rest rot on the vine.
They just want to be able to pick the good parts out over time.
In spite of the licensing issues, has anyone tried to just port ZFS code directly to Linux?
N/T
Except that Sun (er, Oracle) took obsolete to mean "no longer commercially viable", with much regard to technological capability.
Supporting platforms beyond the commercial viability of them(e.g. sun4m machines and early sun4u machines)?
Oh, wait. That's OpenBSD and Linux.
Will they just drop support for an old edition of a book on a whim a la Sun? Or will they do the right thing and not follow in the publishers' footsteps?

Fix that first.
