There are lots of girls at defcon, someare computer people, some want to be, some are just crazy artsy. Check out pictures from the defcon8 of all the girls. Love the shoes and matching mailbox.
It's Vegas, girls will find something to do in Vegas, best of all they get invited to all the cool parties.

"And what exactly do you think is moral? That the brilliant engineers, doctors and scientists over there should give all this up and get back to being unemployed/underpaid? Does that sound more moral?"
I agree they are not sweatshops. I visited Madras for work and it was well, different. I admired the city, but somehow felt compasion for all the people hanging on the outside of the bus or people living under scraps of wood and some sheets of cloth to make a small humble abode.
Then, I visited the office and I didn't sense things were the same. The head guy said they were not allowed to eat with the other people.
I did sense that women were treated better than Japan, though, but that is a different story.
They had special plates and silverware. Something about the cask system. I didn't understand, but later realized that the rich screw their poor just like the US, only it's much farther apart.
Everyone, be friendly together and we will all live happily.
Nationalism at it's best.
First off, let me say that Americans also includes Canada, Mexico and Hondurus, get your terminology stright or go back to whence you came.
I'm part native american, so I can say that.:)
Anywho, back to my main point. This country is a democracy and if we want to vote to impose a tariff on a service, then we have the right to do so. The one thing I never understood is why other contries are so loyal to local brands, but in the United States, we seem to sell out. Heck, look at the car market shares, pretty lame lately and getting worse each month.

$$$$$ This is what it's all about. You want more $$$$$ at your promotion for your new fancy car. Wal-Mart wants $$$$$ too. Granted, they have a high turn over of employees. Heck, the one buy me the check out ladies are all Islanders. They speak broken English and love their job. I guess it beats what ever they did from where ever they are.
I like Wal-Mart. It's friendly, clean and relatively easy to get through tht check out lines.
As for jobs going elsewhere, that's life. Back in the early 1900's there use to be blacksmith's. They shoed horses mostly, well, those that hung onto the past were left behind, those who turned there family business into a service station continued on. Times change, get moving, deal with it.
