is overrated, the only jobs that get outsourced is tech support, because after they sell you the product they don't really care if you get good support or not (and many times you actually get good support from outsourced companies)
there's so much hype going on, but the fact is that only some 0.01% of all jobs are being outsourced and the chance that you'll loose your job over it are practically nil. you're more likely to loose it by being incompetent (this is pretty common these days.)
I found that buying a camera with a rotatable LCD screen helps immensely when you
try to pictures from impossible angles. Also if you know next to nothing about
photography or you just need to take pictures 'at the moment' without setting
your camera up (like on a crowded japanese train), I suggest getting the Olympus
5060 which is really brilliant at adapting the settings to fit your picture (and
it does it in < 50ms).
the NetBSD 'core' must have a lot of money if they can spend thousands on little things like trademarks (especially
ironical considering the BSD licence almost like public domain, you'd think these people wouldn't care about copyrights
and trademarks, etc).

That must have cost a fortune in lawyer fees. But then, if this is what it takes to further improve their already
great product (I run it on my IPAQ!), more power to them.
One of the first cases of this was when Tom's Hardware (then only a startup site) reviewed a Riva TNT and said it was twice as fast as 3DFX voodoo (obviously untrue, but it's unknown if Nvidia paid him anything to say this). Eventually 3DFX picked up on this and demanded that Tom changes it, which he did.
you mention that you listen to books while getting dressed, etc. this is not a good method. remember that speed reading fad a few years back? well it turns out that if you don't concentrate on the book's subject you will miss out details and simply forget everything but the most important facts.
like someone said after "speed reading" War and Peace when asked if he could review it.. "um.. it's about some war, and things."
Too bad they aren't selling the mp3 database itself! All those songs, lost.. there should be a law or something.
Although that Axis Systems (now part of Verisity Design)
machine looks pretty nice. Hm, $1M initial price.. I wonder for how much it'll go now. We could use one at work for various
things.

Alltogether there are five of them, the Charles Stark Draper Prize, the Fritz J. and Dolores H. Russ Prize, the
Bernard M. Gordon Prize for Innovation in Engineering and Technology Education, the Founders Award, and the Arthur
M. Bueche Award

The exact same question is asked in the article and if you bothered to read it you'd know the answer too.
right now the contents of the FrontPage are:

too bad, I was really looking foward to this, especially after delay upon delay. Guess they need to doublecheck their equipment next time.

Props to the GNAA.

But the damage was already done.
