  1. Re:Outsourcing Solution Here on Long Term Effects of Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    There was a Gartner article warning of an increase in "hacking" activity from programmers who layed off due to the dot com crash.

    I can't find the original Gartner report. But this article carries the gist of the report:

    ...insider hacking, which accounts for 60% to 80% of corporate computer crimes, according to consultants such as Gartner Group.

    As layoffs at technology and manufacturing companies continue to climb, more and more disgruntled former employees are attempting to damage or break into their former employers' networks.


    Why no concern about an increase of "hacking" due to programmers losing their job's to off-shore out sourcing?

  2. Re:Fine With Me on Californians To Vote On Largest DNA Database · · Score: 1

    Well then why shouldn't EVERYONE submit their DNA? Hell, I'll even go before you.

    The initiative only requires SUSPICION of a felony to force one to register in this database. (If you RTFA!)

    Interesting? A better rating would be troll-bait.

    Title of thread: PowerPoint makes you dumb. Your response drives home that point better than any example I can give.

    Power Point is meant for SALES presentations. It is meant to SELL you on something. I am unfamiliar with Office Impress. But I expect it is meant to SELL something. If a product is misused. Blame the abusers; not the product.
