We already have 320 million people in this country! I'd really, really be interested in knowing what skill set isn't represented here, such that we need to import it. Yes, I understand that we're discussing highly skilled people here. However, highly skilled isn't necessarily interchangeable with highly in demand. We already have plenty of Ph.D level people in STEM fields currently unemployed. What makes the foreign talent so much more attractive?
It consists of unemployed people from California, who moved to Texas looking for work.
If you're lucky, SpaceX will help to find a solution to your dilemma. Like maybe figuring out a way to create rocket fuel by grinding up environmentalists.....
Given that these days "educated" is pretty much a synonym for "indoctrinated", I'm not sure you'd get a consensus that having spent more time sitting in a classroom is necessarily a positive trait.
While I agree that both sides are not stellar examples of morality, only one of them brainwashestheirchildren. In my opinion, this is sufficient to make it clear-cut.
Yep. My goal is to expand this post a bit, and then copy and paste into every misinformed anti-electric car post on/. Feel free to do the same for other websites.
Further, the Internet may be the kind of thing for which once it becomes a completely corporatized, monotized entity, there may not be any going back.
Right. Because we were so much better off when the internet was entirely a government supported, non-corporatized, non-monitized entity, where no Evil Commercial Interest darkened our doorstep. We all long for a return to the days of Usenet, telnet, ftp, archie and gopher.
They aren't working for "free", they're working for the experience. Very, very few people are actually dumb enough to work for no compensation at all. Not all compensation is necessarily monetary.
To expand on this, it would require withdrawal from the EU due to the requirement of compliance to the European Convention on Human Rights to maintain membership.
And the problem with withdrawal from the EU would be, er, what?
I understand that in addition to the BNP, the UKIP is making friends fast across the pond there, too.
If you think that's bad, for each of these errors that gets publicized, vast swaths of the population lose faith in the mountain of scientific evidence for anything whatsoever, including support for man-made global warming.
If these kind of errors are indicative of the standard by which scientific evidence is being gathered, then the public *should* lose faith in the claims of science.
Exactly why does science deserve to be put upon a pedestal unquestioned, anyway?

Given their recent sales figures, I'd say the attention was hardly negative.

I do find it peculiar that in a nation that already has 320 million people in it, none of them qualify as the "best and the brightest".

Are you sure about that?
Have you seen the terrible videos of looting and raping in Japan, like in New Orleans and Haiti?
Oh, wait...
Political incorrectness.
By all means, have yourself a gay Christmas!
It's close to paying back every dime it borrowed, and it's now almost certain that the taxpayers will ultimately pay very little for saving GM.
BWAHAHAHAHA!!
Who were you calling stupid, sonny?

Don't forget to include this!

NOT!!
IBM has a strong record track of helping governments to track citizens, say, remember 1935-1945 era ?
Why was this guy moded down? It's true!
Why is anyone defending these evil bastards? Does supporting open source, for their own gain, really cover that many sins?
Er, then why is that an overwhelming number of felons are Democrats?

So what makes you think if the government makes new rules, companies will follow them?
So you're saying that the right of a state militia to bear arms was so much in question that a constitutional amendment was necessary to guarantee it?
Um, yeah. That makes a lot of sense. Sure.
Tell that to Phil Jones.
Look, if it upsets you that much, post your address and we'll be glad to mail you a hankie. A nice pink one to go with your politics.

I'm sure this won't stop some people from claiming the mistake undermines everything.
One mistake wouldn't. But the rate at which "mistakes" are piling up is becoming troubling, to say the least.
Not to sound melodramatic, but this is probably the most terrifying sentiment I've heard on /., and it disturbs me that I'm hearing it more often.
If you're hearing it more often, it might be because more people are starting to realize it's true.
I find it amusing that while railing against the bias and closed minds of the establishment you refer to them as "warmers". Irony knows no bounds.
Indeed. I've always thought "alarmists" was a much more apt description.
Indeed. Provide a socialist with a service, and in a week he'll be calling it a human right.
