  1. 4.8 percent they are whining about 4.8 percent on 235,000 Software Engineers Can't Be Wrong, Right? · · Score: 1

    Did you know that 4 percent is the zero point; it is the point where you are considered to have no unemployment in a field. This is because economist have realized what apparently IEEE does not. That is, with people transiting jobs, lazy people, and untalented people alone you will have a constant 4 percent or greater unemployment rate in any field, and this assumes that the economy is doing well. So that means that in the first quarter or "Only a few months ago guys" engineers pretty much had zero unemployment. Now they have a little tiny bit, and they think the federal government should begin making laws to fix this terrible atrocity for them. This is how our country loses its focus. Check your skills again fellas and I don't mean in C++, I mean against your local job market. Then get hot fixing your own problems, not asking the government to fix them. America is a capitalist society and I love that, that is why I am glad to know that they cannot stop companies that find better, cheaper, or just choose to find people outside this country for labor. This country is founded on making a profit whether we like it or not, and we always do if we are the ones making it. If you are a truly talented engineer and you are starving in an economy with 5.3 % unemployment, then you need to take a long look at what is missing.

  2. Cell Phone usage on Cell Phones: Japan vs. the United States · · Score: 1

    I think Japans imbrace of cell phones and widespread
    use of them, is simple. They are known throughout the world
    to be very conforming people. They do as the one next to
    them does automatically. This has always been true on the
    contrary americans do not, so starting such a trend is difficult.
    Also Japanese love to spend money on useless frills even more
    than americans do, they have a great desire to acquire things,
    which they see as cool or trendy.
