"They are going to continue to shell out the big bucks for the best Apple hardware because it will continue to put them in a competitive advantage over their collegues who need to spend more time every day waiting for numbers to crunch."
If that gave them a competitive advantage, then they should be out of business by now. Apple had been trailing the in processor power for years. All those other companies using PCs instead of Apple must have been doing fantastic.
My US high school required a foreign lanuage. Which has degraded into uselssness due to the fact that almost no one speaks French besides people from France and a few French Canidians.
What a waste of time.
My mother was German. Also as waste of time becuase, get this, only Germans speak German! Outside of german school I never heard of word of German.
Look, if I were to move to Germany I'd learn German, and become pretty damn good at it.
My attitude is that if English is considered the business language of the world, that most new developments are done in English, that if you move to the US, you better learn the damn language.
Hey man, I live in the Denver area and was thinking the same thing. Email me at eazolan@yahoo.com, I'd like to have someone to bounce some ideas off of.
"You could argue that anyone with a job in the U.S. is "special or priviledged" given the level of unemployment."
I'm not argueing, I'm stating. As a fact, that this is the case. Hence the links.
And you still didn't bother to compare your salary against the national average, did you?
And having Illegal US workers in Mexico would be be a bombshell. Too bad google returns no hits on such a phrase, and you provided no links. So I'm think you just made that up.
You don't have to provide numbers, just find someone, somewhere, complaining about the problem. Or even describing the problem.
How about this, if you make a claim "More Americans are moving to Canada than Canidians are moving to the US" YOU have to back it up. Not I.
You had a job offer in Mexico. Now, get this, most of those Illegal Immigrants are in the US because they can't get jobs in Mexico! That makes you special or priviliged, did you even bother to check your salary against the national average?
Oh, and here'e my link to help back up my statement. See? It isn't hard.
Ok, if you've been reading Slashdot for longer than an hour, you'll have noticed that the posts tend to wander. This is a feature of Slashdot, you learn things about the subject and about things related to the subject.
This is a post about the "Lord of the Ring" movies. You should not be shocked to discover that people will talk about:
The books The previous movie What's wrong with the previous movies What's wrong with their dog etc..
Frankly, your complaint just makes you look stupid.
What the heck are you talking about? There is no glory or money in writing a really good app.
I find that most Virus writers have the skills and have no job. If they were employeed they wouldn't be writing viruses for fear of loosing their job. A steady paycheck trumps ego boost most of the time.

Let me know when they start coming out with quality comparisons between Macs and PCs.
Until then: "Everyone knows that the TSR-80 was the highest quality computer, EVER."
It's also a lot more future proof than a G4, or a G3. So people should stop buying those too.
How do you know that? Apple's third party hardware program was really taking off because many people loved Apples but couldn't afford them.

I don't see how changing oil can be considered "A loss leader" when so many other businesses base their business on it.
So, how do you get to see this movie? What's an "Art House" film?
The amazing thing about capitalism is that things like "How much power did it take to make the solar panels" are built in to the cost of the device!
So after you buy the soalr panel, you've negated all the costs in building it, and then you use it to offset your power costs.
Even if the casualty rate was triple you'd be safer in the Military than anywhere else.
And many people join the Military because they already live in a area full of armed people who would like to see them dead.
An operating system distribued over a million different platforms?
Gah!

Well, I guess I better clean up aound here and experiment on something.

Nah, I think he means that the US didn't get permission from that one world government.
You know, the only way to make an action of a nation "Illegal" would be a one world government and an international police force to enforce the laws.

"In fact, for the first time in history, more Americans are moving to Canada than vice versa."
Link please.
And you moved to Mexico? Yeah, Mexico is a great place to live, when you're one of the rich elite.
Actually, the fact is that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting richer. It's the middle class that's being squeezed.
Sorry, those countries WERE capitalist, but when taken over by facist dictators that kill farmers for producing crops, that puts a kink in things.
Heh, or how how about when they kick off the white farmers from their land to give back to the blacks who don't know a damn thing about farming.
You could see famine coming from a mile away with these guys.
