I, on the other hand, will gladly pay more for products and services performed by legal residents of the U.S. I will pay more at restaurants that don't use illegal aliens, I will tend to my own lawn or hire an American to do it, and I will pay more for food grown and harvested by Americans.
If companies were willing to invest in training the people who want to learn, instead of hiring the ones with the resume buzzwords, this would not be an issue.
I've worked my way into a comfortable position, and I still feel my career is moving up, but it's been slow and I've only had one employer in the past decade who would pay anything for training. Two if you count my current employer, who has alot of internal training information, but I wouldn't work here if I wasn't already good at what they hired me for.
What about Male equality. If I don't like to be with the same woman (pregnant? yuck!). Why should I have to have a stranger care for my baby and the mother doesn't have to? I'm all for mandatory day care.

I see this can be efficient and useful inside a company with mainly highly-educated workers, with stringent admission standards. But would such a thing work in society in general?
I see this can be efficient and useful inside a company with mostly white and wealthy people. But would such a thing work when we include Black and Hispanic workers, even white trash? FTFY, that's what you meant, right?
Come on, everyone knows it's only the welfare people who cheat the system like that. They enjoy living on a pittance and can't be bothered to do the work necessary to get ahead, so they just keep popping out kids and gaming the system. or Netflix can only have a policy like this since most of their workforce is white.

Ebay is dangerous. I just started selling some Alix 2d3's that I was given. I refreshed them and they were selling for a bit more each auction. No complaints, no problems that I'm aware of in any way.
Boom, account suspended, no recourse, no appeal, no warning, nothing. I had just purchased a shipping label for my last auction that ended, and shipped an item with it. They have the tracking number, it was purchased through their site. They ignored this and refunded the buyer his money, claim to have refunded my shipping label (nothing in my paypal account), and told me, "too bad you shipped, you have to call the buyer to see if he will pay you."
How the hell can they even do that? I think I'm going to sue them in small claims, even though it's only about $75 (filing costs more). I'm just super pissed about it.
I've configured this sort of system with pfsense, using old PC's or preferably an embedded system, like alix. Stay away from cheap stuff from the big vendors, it's junk. Stick with the Linux/BSD based stuff.
I've been toying with x2go to allow people to browse the internet from locked down machines. It allows you to run a firefox or chrome window (seamlessly) on a separate machine. You should check it out.
When I talk about legal action, I'm not talking about inter-company issues. Your records could be subpoenaed because your boss stiffed a supplier, or even something as stupid as a co-workers divorce. That puts your information out of control. I personally use a company phone for everything, but I also manage security on it to MY standards, they don't always sync up with corporate standards.
Your not understanding my argument. In physics, or math, often a problem will be stated as such, "find the velocity of a cow falling 100 ft down a shaft, assume the cow is falling in a vacuum and is a perfect sphere." This greatly simplifies the problem. This is what alot of the security arguments do, in my experience. They ignore human nature, and often business needs. There is a right way to do things, but there is always a balance. Even ignoring that balance, and insisting everything is done right, will often get bad results due to ignored externals.
Most people aren't aware how many very competent engineers and technicians are out there, who don't know jack about security. It's never been an issue for them, but all of a sudden, here comes the internet.
Even these systems that are not connected to the internet suffer the internet effect. How hard would it be to publicize an exploit like this in 1984?
Let's not pretend their aren't security implications when you use a corporate phone. You cede alot of information to your employer, and they can misuse it. Even if they are disinclined to use it, your phone records could easily become part of a legal discovery process and be misused by someone else.
I applaud your excellent customer service skills. IT is a customer facing business, Perfect security is all about spherical cows, it's never found in nature.

Put your own router behind the ISP's and terminate it to a VPN, game over.

I'll just leave this here, buy a VPN that supports torrents, doesn't log anything, and accepts several forms of anonymous payment.

not all of 4chan, not all of /b, but your kidding yourself if you don't think it will be mentioned by someone.

Is that really the case, or are do they conflate high performance and always there? That's never really been clear to me.
Don't have kids yet, or too ugly to breed?

Some of those systems will crash if you do something like plug a tone generator in to locate a wire.

x2go give you a hardened linux for the browser OS, it also has no licensing costs.

The inflation numbers you see everywhere are a lie, or at least so oversimplified that they might as well be a lie.

+1, excellent point.
OK, which company do you manage?
..if their department engineers are sitting in on an interview, who's cost is that?
That's the point, it doesn't make sense.
Maybe they are comparing to the median, not the average?
