.NET will probably not run on PalmOS *ever*. PalmOS isn't really geared up for it. The Java implemetations that run on it(IBMs J5, Suns MIDP, and Waba) are/very/ cut down versions. Let us not forget that PalmOS doesn't have a filesystem as such, either. Perhaps the Mobile.NET edition (SPOT?) will, as they're (M$) trying to get watches, pens, etc to run CLR bytecode - I've not had time to have much of a look into it though.
Symbian would probably be the most likely platform to be able to run the full blown.NET given enough RAM and storage.
CLR is cross platform NOW. Its just the APIs that need catching up:-)
Cherynobyl? Actually a lot of US based fallout was due to the yanks venting a underground nuclear explosion at about the same time. (EMP Research IIRC)
Also when "the allies" blew up Iraqi Biological/Chemical warfare plants, they ended up subjecting their own troops to low levels of nerve toxins. Ordinarily enough the various different toxins don't cause much effects on their own, but combined the results can be mutaneous(? is that a word?),and the symtoms are similar to phosphate poisoning. Lets also not forget the mass "vaccinations" with drugs that neither the various Medical drug authorities had sanctioned for use on the general populace. That caused similar effects.
Seriously they don't care about the stuff they're playing about with, just as long as they stop other children playing with what they see as their toys. (insert MP/RIAA quote here)
Well okay it's the fault of the French. Why the heck us British have sorted the Hotol project, instead of canning it with the lame excuse of national security I don't know. US involvement? Probably. Stupid politicians? definatly.
This is just outrageous. You effectively claim the workers have no rights, and if they want rights they must become employers first !
Outrageous? Actually it's not at all. You probably don't realise this because you don't understand, you're probably have Credit Cards, a House (or rent), and other loans. You don't realise it your in indentured servitude. Long live capitalism and democracy! etc.
Interesting points, but you assume that I'm American, I'm not, I'm British, no make that English:)
Unions make things more painful for companies, true. But they also stop stupid things like this happening. Also our respective governments would take an IT strike more seriously than any other Imagine all the computers being switched off in the banking/local government due to a strike chaos no? At the risk of being labeled a socialist (I'm not, heh) us guys in IT should bloody well get our fingers out. With a political movement such as a union, WE would have some measure of CONTROL over the government. The Teamsters are quite a powerful organisation in the USA if I'm reading the figures correctly on opensecrets:-) Want to do something about RIAA/etc? lobbying is the answer... the same tactics as M$ and RIAA (et al) use.
Visas, H1-B was a problem for the US much like the fasttrack visas are in the UK (until organised lobbying actually won some concessions)
As for a lot of work going out to foriegn countries where very little effort is done to get the code up to spec. It's true - you get what you pay for. Management *will* get burnt for this it's just a matter of time.
If you take that attitude about company email, then you won't have any problem with the government listening to you phone calls and opening your post will you? After all it's their country that you're living in. Did someone say the consitution? (We don't have this in the UK) While we're at it why don't you just bring slavery back while you're at it? Hmm ?
Your last comment is some what true. Most things that cause me displeasure is actually absue, and so it should do you too! I for one hate to think that we as the western world are going back to indentured servitude to self serving corporations that think that going back to similar tricks of the industrial revolution is actually a good thing.
Why is most of the programming work done overseas, where you have to ridiculously overspecify the project to get maintainable/extendable code?
I don't know what being overseas has to do with this question but unless the project scope is very clearly defined, it is difficult to develop and maintain code for it. The example you are thinking of was probably burned on this before and decided to do (in my opinion) the right thing.
Actually if you specify TOO much, you might as well write the code yourself.
Dress codes are a symptom of authority and order. It would appear to me by your questions that you have issues with both. I would ask your parents or your therapist why you have problems with them.
Thats pretty low, of course I have issues with authority. Especially ones that lie, cheat and decieve. I recently took out a mortgage on the basis of information than the MD clearly stated when asked the question "Will I have my Job in 6 months time, I'm considering buying a house". The firm went belly up the month after purchase! Maybe I'm bitter about it, but you've just destroyed any credability you may have had by that childish remark.
If there is one good thing the battering the IT industry has had, is that a lot of the cowboys have gone back to be taxi drivers and whatnot, and it appears the UK job scene has hit rock bottom. Though who knows when they'll take another MSCE(or whatever the "qualification of the day" is) and come back and flood the market. Ah well...
It's a bloody good idea no? Imagine if only a quater of IT personel signed up in the US alone. They'd be a huge lobbying faction to rival the Teamsters etc.
My experiance with foriegn coder is similar. Cheap Code != Good Code.
As little as possible will be done to meet specifications. No thought to maintainablility/Extensability, etc.
I wasted about 6 months of my life rewriting huge chunks of code, some of it was clearly cut and pasted from MSDN and "cleverly" munged into C++. Not a particularly value for money. They'd (my ex company) would have had equal or better results from a hacker fresh out of highschool.

HR are not people. They're the bright sparks that think it's fun reducing the average IT wage to be more in line with a road sweeper.
Accounts are not people. They authorised the above.
This would stop most of this nonsense, if enough people left their jobs to do real IT work. Not content with the crass stupidity at paying salaries at early 90s levels, they want to also want the workforce to wear suits?
Interestingly enough, I have some questions to employers, and government:
Why is there no Union for IT workers?
Why is the current practice of laying off your IT staff, then "re-employing" them as contractors (at a lower rate) not illegal?
Why is most of the programming work done overseas, where you have to ridiculously overspecify the project to get maintainable/extendable code?
Why are our governments allowing Visas for people to do IT work, when there are IT people available for work in their own country?
Why do employers/government wish to abuse our human rights read our email, and look at the websites we read?
Why does this kind of article make me sick?
