i'm not afraid of outsourcing, never have been. the only ones that quiver in fear are the incompetent ones who are easy to replace with a $5/hr from banglore.
look for yourself for crying out loud. it's all on the BLS website in plain view. wages are going UP, not down.
"Moms stayed home with the kids. Now with college degrees, Moms and Dads put in 80-Plus, and can't even achieve the same living standards they had as children"
utter crap. people had lower expectations 50 years ago, now everyone thinks a plasma is an essential.
"Question: The 40-hour work week became a standard in the early 20th century. With all of the improvements in productivity that have come about since then, why are we not now on a standard 32-hour workweek?"
err because of labor shortages you dumbass, that's why. not enough people to do the work. I know where i work if it wasn't for imported labor we simply couldn't cope
oh and you link me to a union website and call it proof? They cite BLS figures but don't link to them, and i can't find them. plate full of bullshit anyone?
your whinging because you might not get a 6 figure salary? cry me a fucking river asshole!
show me some proof that hb-1 visa's have resulted in pay cuts, because i keep hearing people running their mouths about it but when i look at http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm all i see are rising wages.
I challenge this idea that 6 million dollar fines are just considered a cost of doing business. have any of you actually dealt with an accounting department before? as a manager, if you cost ANY company 6.6 million your ass would be fired and there would be hell to pay.
LOL don't any of you DARE start trying to bag people's coding skills just because they write windows programs.... I could almost pick OSS projects at random and give you examples of horrible coding. you don't want to start that argument believe me.
what nonsense are you fucking babbling about? no OS forces coders to follow any standards. they are only limited by the security model the OS employs, and even then there is nothing stopping them circumventing it with stupidity. i've seen many examples of things that NEED to run as root in the OSS world, which really shouldn't
I seen these on that retarded "future weapons" show, where they talk up every single piece of cruft that they look at. nothing but an immense waste of money
I hear you there. we have full HD displays on LCOS that are the size of a postage stamp, why can't they mount those kinds of displays in a set of glasses light enough that it doesn't break my neck?
wow give control of the internets to the government, what could go wrong?!?! I notice you very conviently left china and north korea off your list. what their internet experience like????
that's what i want to know, surely this will make global warming worse, right? i mean EVERYTHING else we do seems to be. quickly lets get an expert on to it.
I can stop global warming. sit back and wait 5 years and watch as the fad blows over and they find something new for you to worry about, like the amount of semen in public toilets maybe.

sorry mistake, it's even MORE obvious. look on the front page for details on 3 month movments. http://www.bls.gov/ncs/ect/home.htm
what did you miss the column which states the mean movement, with the 3 - .05% increases.

the wii's motion tracking isn't anything special, fuck the playstation 2 had an addon for it.

Remind me, how big is the world again?
it's customers that drive the market, not developers. christ these guys sound like a bunch of OSS developers.
i simply can't be ass'd doing it again, easier to just use gray's online or something.
the merchant is the CC company providing the funds.
I hacked a kebab in less then 30 seconds.

isp's already do it, it's called off peak allowance and has been standard for years
let me guess, someone will point out how this is making global warming worse, we need to hug some tree's to offset the carbon.
why do you hate marine animals? because this is giving them new habitats, being opposed to it must mean you want little flipper to go without a home.

spouting nonsense like that is why no one takes you people seriously.
