your post makes no sense since the the job is not in india now. please do not comment on things that you do not understand.
how is losing a job inevitable? Again, no sense.
how is that a 5 insightful? That statement is totally absurd. So it is right to take away someones ability to provide for their family in the USA/EU, so long as someone in India can gain that ability?
Corporate greed led by totally corrupt and inept politicians is all that is. In my book that is morally offensive and vulgar.
Let me put things in perspective for you... Open Source software really has only taken off in the past couple of years. Up until then, the only programs you could buy were closed source programs.
Then instead of just complaining about how lousy some of these things are, how much they cost, etc..., they said I could do it better or i wonder if i could write that... So you have things like GNU/Linux, Gimp, etc...
What has Micro$oft, Apple, IBM, Oracle, etc... done that is innovative? They are selling versions of software originally developed by others before them. Office? Windows? Mac OS, Databases? All been done before those companies did them.
If anything, true innovation will more likely come from open source as the open exchange of ideas will drive innovation. Look at mathematics? What if the pythagorian theorum was closed source and patented? what if cosine and sine were?
Have you ever been to areas of the country hit by all of this? Tell me, where are these people going to find jobs? Should they move to a city? Go back to school?
It is very easy to sit in your "nice home" and paint romantic images of how things should be, however, the real world is quite different.
Until you actually wear those peoples shoes, you have no idea what you are talking about.
No, cheap labor drives up everyone's standard of living.
except for the millions of people who lost their jobs because of "cheap labor" in asia, eastern europe and south of the border.
The Mexicans live dirt cheap, because conditions I wouldn't want to live in are still better than what they had. (Mexico city is nice enough, but there are some really poor areas in Mexico) They can even send money home to their family so their family improves.
Exactly, they are "over the barrel".
In the mean time, the servant can send his kids to school, so they can learn everything I know. The kids then can build on the technology I'm making so we both get robots to vacuum our carpets. (Robots vacuums are close, but not quite to the level that I want them)
So they can flood our school systems thereby decreasing the overall quality of education everyone recieves. So the standards are going down.
This isn't about me, me, me.
Really? perhaps you should re-read your post.
The world is a better place if we can improve the conditions in Mexico. shut the border and Mexico will have a harder time improving.
Sure, by decreasing the standards in the surrounding countries, it will look better.
Aint that the truth. I have never seen it written so well.
I have thought for days about why the government allows for thousands of illegals to cross the border from Mexico every week. Then it hit me....cheap labor. They want to drive down the standard of living in this country.
I think it is quite sad that the "cheap labor conservatives" say these illegals are doing work that citizens would not do. Nice how they flipped that around, huh?
How about the real issue is that these illegals are working for the less than minimum wage, no healthcare, no benefits, no rights, etc...?
Then they trot out reports that they pay taxes (actually a tiny percentage do pay taxes, as they are illegally in the country, right?) and dont recieve social security as if that somehow makes it right?
Yet, how much do states have to pay to send these non-us citizens to school and pay for emergency room care? How many citizens get displaced by this flood of cheap labor and go onto these social programs thereby sucking money out of them?
Actually i was thinking of Pink Floyd, Yes, Rush, Hendrix, Clapton, The Beatles, Asia, ELO, Fleetwood Mac, etc...
I dont mind Nickelback. Dont care for fringe music, or the latest fads, so my tastes are well served.
The real problem is that Allofmp3.com has crap for music
I have found everything i have ever wanted there. But perhaps if you are only looking for the latest boy band or lastest greatest industry created diva, you will not be so well served.
So the original problem is the North is lead by a totally ruthless, corrupt and incompetant regime who lets its people starve and be homeless while its leaders live a life of luxury and spends tons of money on the military?
Police action? Perhaps you are refering to the USA defending South Korea when North Korea invaded it? A thing called the Korean War?
The hostilites have never ceased since then; only a truce has been signed which is not a peace agreement. Technically, a state of war still exists.
We have had bases along the DMZ since the end of that war...which was what...in the late 50's?
You do not seem to understand the point. The point is firefox is secure by default. People have to go out of their way to make it insecure. IE, by default, is insecure and you have to go out of your way to make it more secure.
The majority of people simply use the browser as is and do not go out of there way to change the settings. IE can be made somewhat secure by going out of your way to lock it down, but this is beyond most peoples ability.
Security is an after thought in IE. Security is the first thought in Firefox. That is the difference.
how many employees does Blizzard have in total? And I hardly doubt 200 people are required to keep WoW running each year. Give me a break.
They are merely trying to gouge people for more money by using that holy grail of software economics...the subscription model.
I bet they could charge $5 a month and still make a healthy profit. After all, the game costs $49.99 in and of itself.
unfortunately most people in this country vote for Republicans and Democrats. These parties are totally inept and corrupt. That is why I will never vote for either of them, and I encourage everyone to not vote for a Republican or Democrat ever again.
How is that trolling? It is a fact: IE is MUCH more insecure than other browsers such as FireFox. Care to argue that?
The good advice IS to ditch IE and use another browser so you do not have to worry about problems like this. L4M3R!!!!!!!!!!

or the clueless dipshits running it.
Anyone want to guess how long those were around before M$ SQL? Anyone?
dude, put down the pipe.
If you lose the original you should pay the $18 for a new copy. Its not the record company's fault you lost it.

But does it play World of Warcraft?
Actually i was thinking of Pink Floyd, Yes, Rush, Hendrix, Clapton, The Beatles, Asia, ELO, Fleetwood Mac, etc... I dont mind Nickelback. Dont care for fringe music, or the latest fads, so my tastes are well served.
never heard of any of those bands.

sure does. but...we have it no where near as bad as the poor N Koreans. At least yet...the democrats and republicans sure are trying though.
So the original problem is the North is lead by a totally ruthless, corrupt and incompetant regime who lets its people starve and be homeless while its leaders live a life of luxury and spends tons of money on the military?
Well, it did keep the North from annexing the South, right?

I wold prefer just being able to f***ing play World of Warcraft without the servers being down or having to endure their horrid patch system!!
"For this year, analysts have expected a pretax profit of less than $100 million"
What, only around $100 million profit?!?!!?!?!?!?!?? Sell it now!!!!!!!!!! We don't want that.

Anyone heard of the status of the Team Fortress Mod, or Team Fortress 2? Team Fortress Classic is one wicked mod for HL 1.
