The problem with outsourcing is that eventually the cheap work gets more expensive, then it becomes too much of a burden and things have to shift again...
So, gradually, the corporations will pick random underdeveloped countries and beef them up to a point where the workers are too expensive, then they'll move on - until there are no underdeveloped countries left, just bloated overdeveloped cesspools full of unemployed engineers and white collars.
Yeah, I hate when commercials get that predictable. I only use my special powers to detect when the show is coming back (there's usually about a 0.1s longer pause before the show returns, than there is between commercials).
If only my TV or DCT could autosense that, much like the silence-detecting casette decks of audio past.:)
I use Photoshop for 'drawing' shapes and text, and then applying their supplied effects. Gimp is far from sufficient for me (what? no pre-stocked vector shapes library? Pshaw!), so I find it amusing when people claim it's 'ahead' of Photoshop. In other words, I concur with your acquired taste assessment.
I actually did look at the guy's resume, and it looked fine to me. It also looked text-based and perfect for emailing. I bet the guy with three job offers had some crappy word document that he did "Save As HTML" to put online;-)

Well, can you blame them? They had a hanta virus outbreak, after all.

Granted, I think that was field mice, but it's the same thing
We have no supervillains? Since when?
[sarcasm] Well, THANK YOU Captain Amazing. [/sarcasm]

You only have a lobe? I have a whole hemisphere!
Does the Netcraft toolbar run on FreeBSD?
You're not evil, you're just good looking.

If I search all the slashdot comments, can I find a bunch of AC posts that trace back to you?
Oh, like Ken Jennings?
No.

When the Darwin Awards started offering a one million dollar prize.
Oh, wait, they didn't? Uh oh.
I've got four words for you, Mr Anonymous Coward: FOSSILIZED DINOSAUR POOP NUGGETS
Yeah, the ads are lame, but a lot of the time the previews are better than the movie :)
They need to bring back the Snapple ads with the hamsters.
Well, that explains the Rastafarians.
Well, from what I've heard, Flashover would be a significant enough effect to make a movie about.
Of course, if the interferometrics are too high, people won't even bother watching the movie.
Sidenote: I always thought that was a made-up term for ST:Voyager. Oops.
Heh :) The thing that *always* bothers me about movie computer systems is that the usernames and passwords are not case sensitive.
How helpful. Now, can you find out an etymology of the word?
...
I wonder if it came from Dole Banana/Pineapple Plantations during the Depression
Yes, you're definitely an American. ;-)
That would be a hell of a lot better than some of the HMO stories I've heard.
You're a stuck up sissy with a penchant for flexing your intellectual muscle in situations that are totally inappropriate? :D
