There is a company I used to work for that is doing exactly this. They fired/let go/lost to attrition about 1/2 their staff. They are replacing them with overseas programmers or new graduates. The parent company - operated in Canada, with offices in Bahamas for tax reasons - is going to pick up 1/2 the first year of pay for new college graduates making their budget numbers look great.
I was going to apply for a job there, but was told that it's not really open, they just advertise for a minimum number of days before they hire the overseas guy - a technicality. I spoke with the unemployment agency about this and they said they will side with the employer on this every time. If I want I could force an interview, but they will likely just make something up and choose not to hire me. Oh and they were only REALLY planning on paying about half what the add said.
If they really want to foster competition, how about sponsoring a $100 million X-Prize type competition. Tons of companies all working their ass off to get the prize, and no one gets paid until it's done. No contracts or pork and tons cheaper then the billions spent on doing it alone. Have 2nd and 3rd place prizes to keep some competition and then pay the private sector to get our base in space.

can you imagine what would happen in the case that some pilot is cruising along and thinks of his girlfriend back home? Yeah that's right... a very sharp climb into a stall.
Thurott is just a Microsoft sycophant. A Microsoft Rush Limbaugh without an audience. His mind is clay in the hands of their marketing department.
He worries for those poor folks out there who have purchased WMA music files and then go out and buy in iPod. Those poor confused folks will suddenly find that *gasp* This machine won't work with my music! The poor confused user has nothing to do but poke the device with a blunt stick.
While agree that a lot of "average" PC users aren't up to speed on all the latest gear, I don't believe that most computers users are stupid - especially users who are competent enough to purchase a music collection using one of those services.
His oft-repeated arguments to comments on his site... iPod users won't be able to play their WMA library on the device... "Apple Protected" AAC is non-standard format... WMA is used in over 500 devices so it's an industry standard
Any attempts to point out the error of his ways are generally ignored, or else he chooses to get lost in the simile.

So we know it's biased already - no need to re-state to obvious.
I've found plenty of studies to back just about every argument A. it's on the rise B. it's just being diagnosed more often C. it's not rising at all
That's what makes me a bit paranoid. I don't know where to look to find any real studies to examine their methods and findings. I have found lots of articles that refer to "a study" but since I can't be sure, I'm being cautious.
I think the point is as you said, how do you design such a study? How does one access the medical records, etc? I don't know. In my own life I know that I only know of 1 adult who is autistic, but 3 or 4 kids.
http://www.vaccinationnews.com/ has some interesting if biased info.

The Indian/Other Megacorps will have the cheap labour, their own protective government and save millions a year in CEO salaries alone. No one in the US will be able to afford their US competition.
Todays Business leaders and Congressmen only seem to see the bait, not the hook.
Not if you've installed the Enron Accounting Module. It can produce a profit calculation regardless of the input. Usually offset by a number of complex random graphs to include in the shard holders report.
Such excruciating bends cause the warping of both space and time, or space-time, as the theorists put it. Gravastars would be no less forgiving of what we traditionally call reality.
Inside a gravastar, space-time would be "totally warped," the researchers say. Further, the inner space would exert an outward force, which would enhance the durability of the bubble.... Yet even before they've figured this out, Mottola and Mazur have taken their extreme idea to a mentally dizzying new level: The say our entire universe may be the interior of a giant gravastar.
So the evidence for this is that reality is totally warped. Some paper.;)
I live in northern michigan so I already work at the price most people end up paying for off-shore labour. Hey why not, it doesn't cost much to live where I do, but then we don't have any malls, big airports, or freeways - a plus in my opinion.
Back to the task at hand. I did a quick scan of orionware, tax gross-ups, whois info etc. Are you from orionware.com? What outsourcing firm do you work with that hires US Programmers?
I have been working for myself for about a year doing software consulting, but I'm always looking to grow my business.
Seriously I think I have every song I could ever want. I haven't had to load up eMule for a weeks. Christmas songs, books on tape, science lectures... it's all there. I suppose I'm getting old, but nothing I've heard on the radio in the past month sounds any good at all.
My last batch of downloads I can recall was trying to find something new. Polynesian and asian music, some french stuff I can't understand, but it sounds good. I wonder how many other people have sort of had their fill and are taking a break.

My guess is this is someone trying to prove how idiotic the USPTO is.
Funny I thought they were doing a great job of that themselves.
So if you turn your picture window into a huge TV screen, does that mean the neighbors will end up watching everything in reverse?

Yes of course - if people would only eat their cheese in square slices they wouldn't get so fat.
Canada is much bigger than the states, but with far less people. The cost of having towers running is a nobrainer.
/. is from the US - someone should explain it for our Canadian readers. ;)

Maybe the super gravity also affects time in such a way that no matter what we seem to be discussing, it's always been discussed before on /.

So lets here it from someone on the inside. What kind of party is being planned in the tech support offices now that you can put the beast to bed?
Cool thanks for the info.
