okay, so I thought this was a reference to a learning guide about ethical hacking.
interesting that after I log in to the site, I find I am not able to access the article because "You are not authorised to view this resource."
I guess I'm not leet enough to qualify to be a hacker... of any sort.
or perhaps the original url is suspect?

wtf?
So when there is no acceptable option, don't buy!
Find a way to get what you need without buying 'the product'. If it's CPUs, maybe buy clones from a local assembler. If it's printers, that's a bit more dicey... but you could ask to repair an elder HP instead of buying a new unit 'made in china'. Repair brings the money to local hands again, and is environmentally friendly. A double-win!
But don't just roll over and give up just because finding an option would require THOUGHT!!!
If corporations want to export jobs overseas, that's their priviledge.
If people want to only buy from local companies, that's our priviledge.
if corporations want to be community citizens, they will support the local community with local jobs.
Mr. Ford realized this with the original assembly line and sold more cars than any other American auto manufacturer of the time.
Maybe corporations need to relearn basic economics!
If they export all the jobs, who will be able to buy their products locally?
Not me! Would not want to anyway! Buy locally! Boycot companies with unacceptable business practices!
