Then in reality- you have sympathy but you're not willing to give up one iota of freedom or profit to do anything about it, so your sympathy is worth exactly nil.
Absolutely agree that lower labor costs translate to lower finished goods costs- so let's just lay off everybody in America, including the CEOs, and outsource all of it. Because lower costs are always good right? Oh, and while you're at it, let's make sure we never have this problem again by enslaving other nations- because slavery is the ultimate lowest labor cost, being free.
Seems to me the best thing given the argument that outsourcing is good is to lay off everybody in Country A and let Country B produce both Excess Wine and Excess Cheese to sell to the people in Country A who are now on unemployment. So I guess there is no real comparitive advantage at all.
Programmers in India are already being priced out of the market for Programmers in Philipines- what I'm saying is that if you want everybody to be paid equal, the cost will automatically sink until we hit what the least paid workers in the world make- and at the fine Ohio Arts Etch-A-Sketch factory, which recently moved to China, that's 24 cents an hour, bud.
Actually, sorry, China surpasses us there too- that's why we're disabling our ICBMs to build a missile shield- because their missiles are more accurate than ours.
I'm also a patriot- we can't have people paid equally until we have one world government to manage it. And even then it will take a serious degragation of standard of living in the United States before it is achieved. Hmm- which may be the point of the whole exercise- to impoverish the United States so that we can be paid equally with people in China- Anybody willing to work for 24 cents an hour?
And don't know a damn thing about what they claim to be experts in. Anybody who hires an economist might as well be hiring a crystal ball worshiper for all the good the information will do you.
One slight problem with that theory- we don't make anything in the United States anymore, we're a POST-industrialized nation. So while this will help China, what new skilled labor positions are we going to get here? Especially since any Indian can supposedly do any skilled labor position just as well as any American and for 10% cheaper under the H-1b regulations?
If packets coming from the port the machine is on are slowed down, that means that they're slowed down before they get to the other ports on the router. And there are a lot more routers than you imagine- most likely less than 255 machines would be infected by packets stopped at the router (depending, of course, on the address segment that router covers), and all machines on a different router port would get the infection packets slowly, if at all. But this method is designed to slow virus proliferation, not stop it, so either way you'd still better have somebody on the ball as far as the infection goes.
Shouldn't this be implemented at the switch or router? Thus making it impossible for the virus to disable (unless, of course, the computer being infected IS the router) and not requireing changes in workstation OSs?
If this is a troll, then it ain't me doing the trolling- truly it is slashdot itself doing the trolling- because this message was cut and pasted from what the website told me the first time I clicked on the article. Twice. Third time I got in and posted- and since this is the first post, nobody else was able to get in either.
Boy, that takes me WAY back. I seem to remember a program called MACTerm that did a semi-ok job at ANSI graphics, other than it being all in black & white anyway (this was before color macs). I doubt somehow that you'd find anything that would deal with color....unless you programmed it yourself.
I'm confused. Are you pointing out the bias that the parent already admitted to? Or do you truly believe capitalism to be so free of evil that the communism of the corporation that appears to currently exist isn't happening?
politicians are over-regulating corporations and stealing (taxing) them blind.
Not since the 1980s, and maybe not really since the 1950s. Corporate taxes, as a percentage of corporate income, are a tiny, tiny fraction of what flesh & blood citizens pay. And regulation has been disappearing steadily starting with Reagan, right through Bush and Clinton, and Bush II- why do you think Enron was able to get away with gaming the energy market in California for so long if regulation is INCREASING? But the final proof that our politicians are utterly dishonest- The estate tax which affects less than 1% of the population is being repealed, but payroll taxes are increasing.
Does your business model include an e-mail server? With users that you haven't done full background checks on? Who aren't citizens? Then you too can merit the possibility of a FBI Raid! Just call and let them know you have an insecure network with a possible terrorist message drop.
Where in the grandparent did you see the word "Oregon"? I expected a post like this eventually- especially from the elitists who think that the rest of the world actually has something to offer- but I expected it in reply to a post that ACTUALLY MENTIONED OREGON!
With the death of Yoda, the Racism of Palpatine, the death of both Sith, the destruction of anybody who even remembers the pre-Empire Jedi, and only a couple of half-trained kids, the new Republic will be quite boring.

Competitive Advantage is Crap unless YOU personally have a job.

Nothing for you to see here. Please move along. At least until a second ago.
Hmm- maybe since a CD was less than 5"? 5 inches = 12.5 cm in my world, how about yours?
No, for that you need a white strobe.
Looks like a security system device to me.
They call my 128kbps up 768 kbps down DSL line broadband- broadband seems to be anything that exceeds the 56.6kbaud narrowband.
