I had an application that in 2 weeks I built in Java/JSP/Oracle stored procedures, that I alone could maintain with 0 problems as the code was generated by really intelligent perl scripts.
We got change requests that take me 1 - 2 days, to cut costs / raise profit it was out sourced over seas with a time table of 2 weeks.
They destroyed the ability for generating the code, and made a huge mess of things, and the code was sloppy.
Cost more in the end as every fix I had to do took significantly longer now.
We had plenty of times we let the Indians do stuff and it all came out as the same useless shit.
I personally think the Government needs to ban outsourcing of IT as a protectionary measure to US employees, this is not blue collar work, this is technological work.
Let them overseas make molds of crap and build hoola girls that go on the dash, thats fine and dandy, but don't let them have access to technology / insider data.
Personally I'd like to see a return to isolationism and bring back manufacturing to this country.
Forget tax cuts, give me laws and subsidizing of creating jobs in the USA.
At the end of the great depression it was government building projects employing / training ppl that truly saved us long term.
Lets do it again, build it in USA, use USA labor.
USA all the way... bomb the rest for all the live long day.
Maybe we'll get lucky and India / Pakistan will nuke their respective asses.
Classic Muscle Cars rules, a car that squats off the line... that screams POSI-TRAC FOR LIFE!!! is just to die for:)
My 76 Trans Am witha 4-spd lifts the front end nearly off the ground, peeling the tires in glorious affirmation that I'm truly american.
It might get 8 mi to the gallon, but we made bombs for a reason, slap a made in american sticker on them... nuke iraq... loot it's oil reserves, then saudi's, united arab emerites, you get the point plenty of ppl left to loot.
You'd solve world hunger and our oil crisis all in the matter of a bit of tactical nuking of capital cities.
I think you should show greater respect to made in America products as the great saying goes... "German Designed, American Built, Japanese tested" -- referring to nuclear weapons. There's more of them then us, but as George Carlin said... "we've got the bombs!!"
This whole north korea thing is to limit who has the bombs too, as we need to be the only ones that can nuke outside of our region. Regional nuking is okay we don't like that half the world anyways.
Also on the problem of trash... Africa has plenty of room for garbage dumping, nothing of value there outside of Egypt & South Africa, which we can just wall in to protect them from the garbage.
Sell out the IT market today... 1 less market for work...
We sold out manufacturing in post WW2, now manufacturing is 1/5th of our economy, that is ridiculous. We have such a low amount of production outside of car parts and weapons it's sad.
Innovation that drives employee reduction can be a good thing as it's progress. Drop kicking a well educated middle-class consumer / contributor for a piece of foreign trash is bad.
Each time you sell out a US job you sell out the future of your children.
Considering there's not a half billion Americans to speak of kind of a problem there.
I'd love to see us hit a half billion of WHITES of a EUROPEAN ANCESTRY in this Country. There's a reason we still run the top level positions of government / business and why we built the largest economy ever. You have to have the best to be the best.
We breed horses / animals from quality stock to get a quality product, breeding from mud = mud, aka shit = shit.
I'm guessing you're one of these idiots who think Political Correctness is a good thing?
LIFE SUCKS GET THE F* OVER IT!
Nobody cares about the feelings of the poor money grubbing H1B visas or any other group who can't suck it up and deal with life.
My ancestors were Europeans, the true people who founded and invented the ideas behind this country.
H1B visas and all their kind from India are a negative influence on our soil. Our grand parents would roll over in thier graves knowing we allowed them in here.
I vote they all leave it, I'll gladly chip in on some taxes for a boat full of holes to ship them back in.
I feel banning all forms of foreign language in the work place would be productive, a common language is like common currency its nothing but a good thing for the economy and for the harmony of the country.
I live around the corner from this theatre... it's not all that great anymore, I just wonder why the AMC down on newport on the levy don't have this yet?
Or you could learn a real language (Perl) and use EmbPerl or any other embedded perl or use custom coded templating systems like I do, since I have my own core set of routines anyways.
And my primary designer I work with uses to do all designs / maintenance: dreamweaver
The kids I know who had good parenting and wholesome family lives are twits. They have no self-determination, no real creativity or thought, they generally like any drive or determination and are still living at home (imagine that). One is 22, has never been on a date in his life, and is in his 5th year working as a meat cutter at a grocery store, dropped out of a semi-okay college into a school that might as well be High School part 2, and has 0 ambitions for a better job or to try to do anything with his life.
Thats the scary reality of too good of parenting;P
My parents sucked ass and I'm a lot more unique of an individual, also 38x more likely to go nuts at work;) Living with gun nuts is an additional assist... lol
Unemployment? Plenty of it, Falling Salaries thanks to foreign labor? Tons of it.
High Stress? Yup, Expensive needs to off-set said Stress? Definately.
In the end we're not paid enough, when you consider how much it takes to stay sane in this industry and not die too early from all the medical problems prolongued stressed / irregular sleeping habits / bad diets does to techs.
You sir need to work in this industry longer and harder till you understand how bad tech life really is.
How many techs still enjoy their jobs after 5+ years? Raise your hands if you haven't moved on to management or committed suicide.
Slashdot Mirror
Thats still discrimination.
Discrimination based on financial credit worthiness.
Don't have to be black to be discriminated against.

Maybe we'll get lucky and India / Pakistan will nuke their respective asses.
And it also hurts our ability to be independent
India is a relatively hostile nation, one that can't be trusted.
Giving them this much control over our IT is dangerous and stupid.
We must protect americans, if they want to work cheap, have them move to America and block bank transfers out of country to India.
The C-5 is a more practical sports car then any you mentioned.
:)
The C-5 has better road manors / interior then the Viper and competitive performance.
The Viper is a more harsh extreme, the C-5 is more of the mid-level businessmans sports car.
It's the C-5 or the Porsche Boxter... you pick one
The 911 is over double the price of the C-5.
What????

All I can say to this is Amen and thank god somebody else sees the same.
And I thought America went completely brain dead and forgot to look at reality without their hippie goggles on.
PHP Programmers?
Can we say oxymoron
And they wonder why this is not a mature language?
Get PERL, forget PHP for the script kiddie bs that it is.
Once the clothes start ripping off then I'll start cheering and throwing sweaty wadded up $1 bills at them.
Those that actually need them?
I mean really suzy in the phone center has no need for over 400 mhz, I'm striving along just fine on my 667.
Umm if you come to Ohio to see this at the springdale theatre you got issues... it's not that good of a theatre anymore.
I live around the corner from this theatre... it's not all that great anymore, I just wonder why the AMC down on newport on the levy don't have this yet?
Java needs perl style regex / string manipulation.
For a modern language it's lost about the fact that strings / text is the primary purpose of modern languages.
But then again we can always do:
java.lang.String.equals("lost")
People want lots of bells and whistles they just can't provide.
Thats why cell phone do everything from pda functions to games, gotta have it all!

J5 is da shit!
Overpaid???
Umm yeah where have you been the past 2 years?
Unemployment? Plenty of it, Falling Salaries thanks to foreign labor? Tons of it.
High Stress? Yup, Expensive needs to off-set said Stress? Definately.

You like to pay taxes don't you?
Short term capital gains will eat so much of that profit it's not worth doing till you get to large economies of scale.
Start with a small colony by the time in a few hundred years it'll be a huge colony, just provide no condoms at all ;)
Who's honestly going to buy one of these???
