No, they not even let that country be crated. They are also smarter and just do instead of bragging about it. I rather have a barking dog then a biting one.
Oh and while I am probably be moderated into oblivion: The US does both.
Because for all of their flaws the Chinese actually behave like adults in the global community. They don't sponsor terrorism, they don't threaten freedom of navigation on the high seas and they don't have an openly racist high level politician that denies the right of one of his neighbors to exist.
That explains why the rest of the world think the US is hypocrite on deciding who gets the bomb and who not.
Do you realize that Europe is just as freaked out by the prospect of a nuclear armed Iran as the United States is? Actually it probably bothers them more; we aren't within range of Iranian missiles but most of Europe is.
Uhm, no. We are absolutely not freaked out. At least not more then with the Americans who have said they would use them as a first strike and who have also proven to attack countries when those countries disagree with whatever they should agree with, including Western European countries.
I agree, but could you PLEASE keep the Americans you have over there and NOT let them out. This includes all you laws and products (Yes, including Internet. We just would like to have Hyper Text Markup Language and thus the web part back, thank you.)
This is why they need to make their products in Asia. Because people only care about price. That is the reason jobs get outsourced, because the end-user only cares about price.
The American people vote with their wallets, so do not blame the companies when your job gets outsourced to India. Look at your buying habits.
If you still want to listen to music, go to http://bandcamp.com/ It is clearly explained how much goes to the music makers and some music is either cheap or free. Well, a lot of it is and you can even often name your own price.
If you make music, this is the site you should go to to put it online.
Then you won't be their customer. Not all people will be their customer. Their target audience won't include you.
Perhaps they don't even WANT people to read reviews. What they most likely want is people to come into their stores and look there. Just like the good old days.
Sure, some would first compare at other stores, but the majority doesn't. They go into a store and buy what they need and perhaps even also what they think they want.
They specifically do not want people to compare prices and products. They want people to come in and buy. I am sure they are fully aware that they will scare some customers away. If they think they will come out positive in the end, they will do it.
Companies do not want everybody to be their customer. They only want those that makes them the most money with the least effort. Just like most people do.
The problem with the "decline" of manufacturing is that American workers are crazy productive.
Just like the European ones. And still it won't be enough because they are too expensive and we all want to buy at the lowest price.
That means producing at the lowest price. Why should I care if some 10 Asian kids are less productive then 1 American grown-up? As long as they are cheaper in the end, the American grown-up will buy the product.
Also a big part of this productive process is that a lot is automated. Just look at the supermarkets with the self-paying-lines. What I see here is that 1 person can handle 4 lines. That means higher productivity AND 3 others out of a job. All so you can save 2 cents on your frozen pizza that was made in another factory by 1 person pressing a button on a machine.
To prevent this I block everything from Facebook. I do this on a host level.. Used to add it to my hosts file, but now I have blocked it on my DNS server.
Everything that is *.facebook.com (and facebook.com) is IP 0.0.0.0
If printing is the only requirement, then there might be other options available. The printjob gives you a code that you enter at any printer. Disadvantage is that you must wait for a print job. Not an issue if it is very few pages. Hell if it is several hundred. Giving printers a location name might be better. Disadvantage there is that sometimes printers are moved and people cant find the printer they used as a default and the printer does not get a new name for its new location.
Because of this we had people who printed for several weeks at a printer in another country till they complained that we were using all their paper and toner, while we never came and picked up the printouts.
Also if all printers are the same, there is no issue. They seldom are. I use three different ones, depending on the volume and quality I need. Also the printer closest to me is not as easy to access as it is behind my manager. I am allowed to use it, but it is just inconvenient. And these are all pretty standard printers.
Just having a normal name and the name of the printer in big fat letters on it is technical enough for everybody to be able to answer the question "Hey, what is the name of this printer" so you can print on it.
One place had nametags from the ceiling like the ones you might see in a supermarket to tell you what product an isle has. They were visible from almost anywhere on the workfloor. Mind you: This is Europe, so no cubicles to block your sight,
Yeah, because the best defense against companies with too much power is to give that power to other companies. Especially as those new companies love to fight dirty themselves (including Google) and make up their own rules.
especially since they haven't actually done this yet.
OK. That is a relief. The best way of action is always to wait till things happen. Right? And Opt-in is always good as long as I don't have any other choice?
Just streamlining the account creation process? Are you working for the Google Marketing Department?
When I use somebody elses PC to do some surfing it amazes me that people still would want to spend time online. Sure, you have a 30 insch screen, but the amount of content is the same as your very old 15 inch one.
Theologians can pursuade themselves of anything. Anyone who can worship a trinity and insists that his religion is a monotheism can believe anything -- just give him time to rationalize it.

I have a union. I have 30+ days of payed holidays. I have a 13th and 14th month. When I get sick I get payed for. And if I try to do overtime, by boss sends me home.
Also I am not the only one, nor is it the only company. They still make a very good profit.
You think the US workers have freedom? Wow. They are afraid to take holidays so they can't get fired. At the same time my company gives me 30+ days payed holidays at 38 hour working weeks. Over time is frowned upon and when I am sick, I can get healthy without the need to sell meth as it is already payed for.
You keep using that word freedom over there but I don't think it means what you think it means.
The thing this is about is price and profit. Cheaper production will mean cheaper and thus easier to sell. More units means more profit. They rather sell 2.000.000 with a 1USD profit then 1 with a 1.000.000USD profit.

Only downside is that they use Paypal.

It also would have taken a lot longer and have been more expensive.

Because you don't use twitter this does not concern you?
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak out because I was Protestant.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Using http://userstyles.org/ it is easy to get rid of.
I pirate because I am a cheap bastard. If I were not able to pirate I'd buy NOTHING.
Sp "piracy" does not DECREASE their market share and sales in my case.
I believe you are right.
The reason is control. As everybody now is a criminal, they can use it as leverage to let you do stuff you normally never would do.
Yeah, because the best defense against companies with too much power is to give that power to other companies.
Especially as those new companies love to fight dirty themselves (including Google) and make up their own rules.
Please let them know that is why you switched.

a bit like shown here.

If you believe that you can win by doing things in an orderly fashion, then you have not been paying attention to politics in the last 30 years.
