So, where are the bad and where are the good schools? anyone?
Until the tariffs are equal and labor/enviromental issues are equal with our trade partners, America is going to continue to lose jobs, companies, and wealth.
Well, you could go on with this endlessly. What about america polluting the environment? Kioto? Ping-pong.
The best move would be to lower the tarriffs to all countries. So america would compete shoulder to shoulder with others. Other argumenst are just excuses to hide or to escape from reality.

"The only thing your subconcious has going for it is that it doesn't have to process the terrabytes of data that the outside world hurls at your concious every second. "
How much is it? Sensory data from you eyes, skin. Could it be measured in bites per second?
Well. One model for google.com might be that they charge ISP-s for search results. And ISPs will get their money from monthly internet connection fees.
Just incrementally better offers (for those who will pay) -Faster -More features -New features -County specific
And google.com might be monopoly infrastructure service. either ISP pays or is out of business as their clients switch to other.
Well. I have played with the idea. Should I buy memory stick or cd burner. Yes, indeed, I haven't bought cd burner yet. Just listening to music on my PC.
You have to add one side to this math. There ara other nuisances that does'nt convert directly into dollars.
My options are (the cheapest first) - cd writer - memory stick - iPod or some clone - laptop
Burning CD-s. It takes time to rip, it takes time to burn. It is quite annoying and tiresome activity.
iPod. Good, but why to carry a high disk wih me. Yes, there is risk that it crashes. At home I could use my PC that stores more bits and sounds.
So I decided to choose between memory stick or laptop. Or both of them.
The main factor that influenced this decision is that it is so convinient to renew music in a memory stick.
Actually I haven't bought new laptop or memory stick. Just decided to extend HD of my PC. Still shopping around.
This is silly if not plain stupid.
So the signal is transmitted to the computed and what happens next? Is it transmitted to your work computer? Well, most people don't have time to watch it as they are busy with their work. Some load noise is made by appopriate softawre? And in ideal wordl thief runs away as ast as he could.
But criminal are clever too.
So the answer is... use firms that provide security services. They are professional and efficient.
Well, yes. Something could be done about car alarms as these are screaming on the streets.
Like if, we could have a net (poeple agaings car thiefs, kind of home watch), if car alarms decides the car is been attacke it rings mole phones in the near vicinity. Human being has best ability to decide is it crimiminal or just a cat on you car. And then he\she coiluld call police.
"constant interruption by technology (think e-mail, instant messaging and cell phones)"
Read e-mail once a day, don't use messenger, turn off mobile or switch it so ring tone depends who is calling.
Simple solutions.

"..eads the O'Reilly manuals to you for a semester or two"
Face to face communication is always better than just slipping through manuals.
Maybe somebody wil read this thread ...
What about short, max. 15 minutes, meetings.
5 of these in a week equals 1 hour long once a week.
Does anybody have this kind of culture in their company?
is shuttle suitable? has anyone tried? what about noise?

So it would be easier to hire one excecutive\ middle manager in the US who speaks their language (hindu?) 1 per 100 indian workers :)
