The cultural differences are what makes me not worry too much about this issue. When the Chinese start pumping out research that is actually verifiable and not stolen, I will start to worry. Unfortunately, by then, we have probably lost.
Good Unix and SQL skills have served my career well for the past 8 years. Someone is always re-inventing the wheel each week in IT. The foundational pieces haven't changed in 20+ years. I'll leave the new hotness to the kids just out of school. (32 years old)
I always saw the math curriculum as a weed out tool for a CS degree. If you don't have the aptitude/want to systematically solving math problems, maybe it's time to re-think the CS degree.
AT&T is required by federal law to produce the White Pages. Its part of their agreement with the FCC for being a telephone service provider. They have to produce them for government entities such as federal,state, and local organizations. They are not legally bound to have to distribute them to populace unless requested by an individual. Note for anyone interested: your address is stored as GPS coordinates in the listings DB. These coordinates should correspond to the end of the driveway/location of our mail box
My mother's side of the family still farms and raises cattle. We pay market price for the cow and the cost to process it. For a half a side of beef, after processing, about $2 lbs. All the stakes, hamburger, roasts,... etc you can eat in a year for about $240. I split this with my parents. I get about 110 lbs for my stand up freezer. The beef is grass fed most of the time, but before slaughter, is fed corn. This gives the favor you get at the supermarket.
In my anecdotal experience, business rules and knowledge are 90% of business/normal programming. You cannot code without it. I think this is why so many off-shoring projects have problems.
GE still has their lamp plant in Winchester, OH ( I think Ohio). They closed the other North American lamp plant in St. Louis 3 years ago. My dad was the head mechanical engineer. There is still a specialty bulb plant in Matoon, IL. The rest of bulbs are made in Mexico or China. All GE CFL's are made in China.
Like the phone book? (think "more cowBELL") Produced with COBOL.
COBOL can used to make a VERY fast PostScript engine. Single process, 100 pages in about 1 minutes, with pulling high resolution image blobs from Oracle.

Those fees are implemented and go directly to your bank, not Visa or MasterCard.

Thanks for sharing! I hope your dad recovers.
If economics is a science, it is a 'science' of hindsight.

I did COBOL and RPG for about 3 years. God, it was simple to debug almost any problem.
They don't leave. They become PM's.
The main centers are still run by the state.
Basically, whatever private firm is handy out the most hookers and blow through lobbyists gets the contracts every year.

How about the Gorillas.exe that came with DOS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorillas_(video_game)
I'm not a fan of the oil subsidies either. Though, if repealed, the oil companies would just pass the additional costs onto the consumers.
(See Subject) Excluding notebooks and netbooks, can't the increase in volume be taken advantage of for more flash capacity.
I was in between jobs five months ago. Cut my figure on a can lid. Couldn't get it to stop bleeding after 3 hours.
3 stitches and a tetanus shot. $900 for the ER visit. $700 for the doctor.
My new health insurance kicked in 1 week later.....
That was the most expensive chicken pot pie I ever made.
To add: If recognizable special forces units are targeting an asset such as this, you better believe that a shitstorm is coming.

01 CURRENT_BALANCE PIC X(20) COMP.
01 BILLED_BALANCE PIC 9(18) V9(2) COMP.
MOVE CURRENT_BALANCE TO BILLED_BALANCE.
My rough guess is that CURRENT_BALANCE was full of spaces/needed to be initialized from an error before hand.
I just helped train my 4 Indian replacements, guess I wasn't that good.

Ah come on,.. They're trying to put the 'fun' back in malfunctioning.
Some consider China a threat. When ruled by ideology, group think, and the lowest common denominator, this is what you get.
