...who will be able to afford the services provided by robots and humanoids. An equilibrium will probably be reached where consumer purchases of robotic services will no longer support further expansion.
My original point was that we are currently dealing with the wrong end of the "pipeline." Instead of dealing with the mess flowing out of the pipe, we should be looking at ways to keep SPAM from entering in the first place.....
An email message (or packet) should be authenticated at its source as coming from a valid, certifyable and traceable source. The authentication would be checked at each relay to make sure it isn't a bogus email. If authentication fails, the relay would discard the email. The destination then verifies that the email is from a certified source. The idea needs some work, but there is no reason with encryption technology coupled with the authentication information that computer generated SPAM can be differentiated from real certified email.

I would suggest a second and parallel email channel be introduced. Leave the current sendmail system in place. Those desiring better email and no spam will migrate to the new channel. Those who don't care can remain on the SPAM channel.

Its ironic that this conference (and other discussion groups) are focusing on dealing with, filtering, and otherwise trapping SPAM. It appears that the only solution to eliminating SPAM is to develop a completely new architecture for handling email which would simply not provide mechanisms for the broadcast of SPAM, and the hijacking of mail servers. Spammers are just as ingenious as the folks valiantly trying to filter it. Until we consider a new approach, we will just be battling an ever growing volume of SPAM mail.
You hit the nail on the head! Because of the 10 day deportation clause, H1B's have been relegated to an indentured servant status. I once observed an H1B fellow from Uniden who was sent to our site to customize some code. His manager's demands were so intense that he worked 7 days per week and near 18 hours a day in fear that he would lose his job and be sent back to his homeland. His per diem expense limits were so severe that he slept on the lobby couch the last week he was here. Modern day slavery....
But everyone tells me its like this in every field.
It's not like that in every field... accounting and CPA's, legal fields, lawyers, and many not-exactly-professional entreprenural jobs.
That reminds me... when I attended Penn State University there was an environmental protest group called "The Comittee to Conserve Lunar Momentum." They regularly protested tidal power generators and any mechanisms that removed power from the earth-moon system. They always had a table set up in the student union building and handed out literature. (I'm sure they were not physics majors).
