Right. I still have the Voodoo1 3d-add on card that plugged into
a free pci slot next to the dedicated 2d card. I had Matrox Millenium 3d card and it connected to Vodoo1 with a pass-through cable.
And how many of them just one day disappeared and have been infinietly detained in one of the secret prisons around the world. I have many friends in the US and people have started to disappear or die under suspicous circumstances. Remember Chile?
And this is exactly why you whining Americans are losing. Nothing is just right for you, Either the salary is too low or it's too far from home, or it's too noisy or it's not fullfiling enough in creative ways.
Still. your reply doesnt explain why US schools were winning the competition just a few years ago. Or why one of the US teams looked like they had just walked out of "a minor car wreck" if they really went there just for fun and not expecting to win.
You Americans are taking too much for granted, and the article is right while you are partying, going to debate clubs and gay clubs and whatnot and sitting around with your notebooks pretending to be studying the rest of the world is quickly catching up to you. Here if you try to slack and don't not study for 18 hours a day you fail and are expelled after the first semester and the drafted into the russian army where your smartboy ass is beaten and raped by orfanage rejects.
You have to straighten up or your history.
The only thing more stupid than making stupid rules is actually expecting people to follow them. It's silly to even believe that a normal person can concentrate on a job for eight hours.
Whatever, you're just bitter that your country is nowhere to be found on the list. Btw, I studied at NGU (considered the third best ). If anything the education was too broad - Analysis, topology, discrete math all at the level considered graduate in other countries (maybe not Norway?)
Hehe, no job description like thta mean exactly one thing - satisfying government requirements for getting a h1b to fill the position. No local talent for the job means they can bring in the indian guy.
I find it strange that so many people in the US didnt get the idea that evolution = random mutations + NATURAL SELECTION beat into their head in school. Hence they easily fall for the 747 from metal scraps argument.
Since you in your first year you could probably be forgiven for such naive statements. University doesnt teach you to handlr real life projects of great complexity. Also indians, and we russians replacing you all have degrees im cs and math from good places, certainly better than your average US state college.
OSS benifits people in not so rich countries. If my government switched to Free Software instead of paying oodles to MS and Oracle
that money purhaps.. could go into helping the poor.

I tried it/ They are not real virtual desktops but a trick involving minimazing/maxismazing groups of windows. It doesnt work for all apps and sometimes you can see it. Cheap hack.
I'm from one of the countries that may be scheduled for the 100 dollar laptop in the near future. So with a bit of hand cranking and soime veggies and fruits I already grow in my garden I will be a completely self sufficient free software coder. I have alredy built a small wooden shack and have access to fresh water from a lake nearby.
Really, one just have to assume this. When there is no accountability there is room for abuse. I don't know Theo personally. he may have problems with drugs or alcohol abuse or gambling debts or has to pay his former spouses whatever.
Sudan? really READ the linked article
Negroponte's current plan is to begin distributing 5 million to 10 million of the laptops in China, India, Egypt, Brazil, Thailand, Nigeria and Argentina by early 2007.
These are not countries where one witnesses daily datjhs of his ppers from hunger, lack of water, etc. It's not intended to be distributed to the very bottom of the 3rd world.
Why shouldn't I work for the N.S.A.? That's a tough one, but I'll give it a shot. Say I'm working at N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. So I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East. Once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels were hiding and fifteen hundred people I never had a problem with get killed. Now the politicians are sayin', "Send in the marines to secure the area" 'cause they don't give a shit. It won't be their kid over there, gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number was called, 'cause they were pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some guy from Southie takin' shrapnel in the ass. And he comes home to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks. Meanwhile my buddy from Southie realizes the only reason he was over there was so we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And of course the oil companies used the skirmish to scare up oil prices so they could turn a quick buck. A cute little ancillary benefit for them but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. And naturally they're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, and maybe even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and play slalom with the icebergs, and it ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. So my buddy's out of work and he can't afford to drive, so he's got to walk to the job interviews, which sucks 'cause the shrapnel in his ass is givin' him chronic hemorrhoids. And meanwhile he's starvin' 'cause every time he tries to get a bite to eat the only blue plate special they're servin' is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. So what do I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. Why not just shoot my buddy, take his job and give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected president.
I believe you are wrong and this issue has been throughly discussed here. Outsorcing doesnt result in price cuts for consumers or clients, it all goes into upper management bonuses. So owning the company and not outsourcing wouldnt negate ones competitive adbantage.

I bet an axe to the head from a person he trusted was a hell of a surprise to him.

There are also invalid email adressess. Like elitehunting@gang.rus in Hostel.

We choose science or scinetific approach because the alternatives are much worse. And science seems to actually work.

Well how about a federal law forbidding invetment in pseudo-communist dictatorships? That would set a level playing field fro all compnanies .

But it has always been this way. Yet young bright people used to choose science and math in far greater numbers than now. Why?

Oh, we are not all living in a kibutz ya know. It's fun so we do it. And since it's done as a public contest no harm is done
So can I have your google id and pass? I promise not to delete anything, just relax reading it for a while, sipping on a cup of coffee.

If I got my math right it could emply 300 very good developers (100K a year) for 10 years :)
In Russian too, it's 'konkurenziya' for competition. He just made a fool of himself.
