And in different parts of the world, different standards of living require different wage structures. But writing acceptable code is the same. And please remember there are plenty of code hacks right here in the Good Ole U. S. of A.
This is true, and several other points have been made in this line:
* If you are uncomfortable with the NDA, reassess if you want to work there, because...
* It is unlikely you can change the NDA, and...
* They very well may decline to employ you simply for bringing the issue up.
"..the US produced the computer industry as it exists today, and were it not for the dot-com boom, the web as we know it today would not exist."
First, this statement has nothing to do with the subject, and is almost certainly a troll. Second, it represents a completely flawed US-centric view that that we "own" the Internet, and we "own" the right to a particular skill, and no one else should have it. For the most part, you are full of shit and have precisely the attitude that forces jobs to outsourcers.
Which calculator do you have? I still use my HP-41CV, it have many complicated calculations that I've programmed into it, including advanced calculus... Bought it in '82 for $450, new.
"It seems to me that in ramping up from a few hundred to thosands of programmers over the past few years, most of these people must be fresh out of school"
And this was not the case here in the USA during the "Dot Com Boom"? I sense an invalid argument...
Remember though, all things as used as US curency, that is printed on a substrate like papaer, will shrink. But New bill to New bill, even within the denomination, differ.
Interesting thing is, if you look even passingly close at US curency, front / back are almost alway different by at least a 16th of an inch, and the margins are never cut the same.
The copyright laws were intended to allow someone to profit from their idea, but not to own your memories
What if your "memories" consist of a complete and identical digital copy of a copyrighted work? And suppose (and I know NO ONE HERE does this) that you shair your "memories" with your friends?
Before all the naysayers start in on what a flaky database MySQL is, how it doesn't do this or that, that it just a toy, please visit their web site and see what its current feature set is.
I live in a 4 storey building, and pretty much everyone in this building is into gaming and computers
What building do you live in, so I can avoid it next time I'm looking for a new apartment? Jesus. Fucking gamers up until dawn playing Half Life and what not, then going off to school and coming home to puke in the halls. Joy, joy, my ideal living space.
the economy will survive, though your job, as it is currently, will likely not
And how is this supposed to happen? Those who do not end up on the streets will be training as Fryolator operators working for enough money to pay the rent.
The only good thing I can see out of this is that all the malls will close.
Compared to today's digital timepieces, old-fashioned, sweep-hand watches are pathetic one-trick ponies
And I like it that way. My cell phone is a phone and my watch is to tell the time. I just plunked down about $400 for a nice Seiko that, guess what, tells time. Looks nice too.

Yes, you're correct, it's not an NDA, it's an NCA.

I agree wholeheartedly.
And you can bet as soon as it's reliesed in Thailand, it will be mere minutes till the CDs are for sale around the world...
Neither do I.

But "flamebait"? How many responces to this post? That's quite a flame.

The Adobe sneak does not effect my PhotoShop v.5... No problems manipulating American curency.
Ahh yes... My $4000 printer...

So, one artist says to the other, "Gee, I seem to be real famous, but can I sleep on your floor? I couldn't pay the rent..."
When SPAM stops being profitable (as in people who respond and purchase things), than SPAM will go away.
Because we are talking about the voting process being designed for overseas military members. Clear now?

And perhaps after the IPO, most results will be ads?

My Seiko is quite elegant, and it should be for $400.

What does this mean? It's a computer, they can't port the games?
