  1. Re:I am optimistic... on Labor Department Downplays Offshoring · · Score: 0

    The fallacy here is that there are tarrifs and government subsidies involved in both the import and export process. So it is not free trade when the Chinese government subsidizes an automiobile plant and gives Daimler/Chrystler big bucks to use what amounts to slave labor over there. We used to have that situation, indentured slavery, in the Appalachian coal mines and the people in that region are still not out of poverty.

  2. Re:Misleading Summary on Labor Department Downplays Offshoring · · Score: 0

    When business runs the government it is a form of fascism. Businesses are not individuals and do not care for the rights of individuals. So the personal freedom argument is a fallacy.

    And what about all the kick backs, bribes and "grants" given to the US companies by these foreign companies and governments? Is this not the same as our cities and states giving "tax breaks" to companies for moving factories to their town?

  11. CNET story on Apple Addresses URI Handler Issues · · Score: 0

    Here's the beginning of the CNET article Apple Computer on Monday released a security patch that fixes what the company called the first "critical" Mac OS X flaw. A combination of holes disclosed by security researchers last month could have allowed an attacker to take over a vulnerable Macintosh, though no such exploits have been reported. Apple issued a partial fix last month, but security researchers had said that the Mac remained open to attack. http://news.com.com/Apple+patches+%27critical%27+O S+X+flaw/2100-7355_3-5228038.html?tag=nefd.top Can I say "yeah right!" and get away with it?
