Agreed. This has nothing to do with nerds. What is it doing here? Not to mention half of us are bitter toward Indians anyway as a result of outsourcing.
You've been watching Lou Dobbs too much! Bad Dog!
Although India has a few world class schools they are nowhere near as numerous as in the US, India does not have a large immigrant population, India's red tape while improving is still closer in style to "in Soviet Russia" than the Rand's libertarian paradise etc. However start up businesses in India are booming, mostly as spin offs of subsidiaries of American tech companies.
However, most of these changes have occured because India has attempted to slowly Liberalize (note 'L' not 'l') their country.
Graham is arguing that America's legal system and capitalistic spirit is yet to be matched by any other country, and as a result we will always continue to dominate. The health of an economy is directly correlated with the type of environment it lives in: does it breed growth and competition or does it promote stagnation (i.e. socialist countries). Yes, we do have our share of issues to resolve, but we also do many things quite well: maintaining a fluid labor market, entrepreneurial spirit, protecting property rights, making it easy to transfer capital, protection of civil liberties, etc.
Everyone always talks about the growing threat of China. Yes, they are on the horizon, but as long as they continue socialist/totalitarian policies, they will never really be able to compete with the vitality and individualism of the US.
users don't have to deal with the operating system
users can access their DATA (as well as apps) from anywhere
everything is platform independent
to you - a technical user - it doesn't seem like that helpful. but to the average user who just wants to surf the web, check their email, and check their calendar, it could be worthwhile.
Just contacted mine:
I strongly believe in the Internet Nondiscrimination Act of 2006. Tiered-Internet is a bad idea that limits competition and the free-market principles of the Internet. Given that this technology has had such a profound impact on modern civilization, how can we let the telcos diminish its value?
I hope you will support it.
The FCC gave the telcos monopoly rights end-user access to the Internet. But that power comes with a price: the telcos shouldn't use their power to take advantage of the consumers.
Address space isn't why we should gloss over IPv6. Yeah, its nice that we can get rid of NAT, but the bigger deal is virtual circuits. IPv4 can't handle streaming data, keeping us from high-broadband technologies like TV-over-IP. IPv6 was designed to optimize routers for doing high-broadband transfers. That should be the biggest selling point of IPv6.
Wouldn't a good solution be to just limit the time people can hold technology-related patents? No one should be able to hold onto "a system of navigating websites through links" for 10-20 years. Especially since, at the moment, we are innovating so fast. Give them 3 years to take an idea to product, and then its free territory.
We have a server with RAID 5+0 and 8 250 GB hard drives. Other than having a backup at a different storage point, that's pretty fail-safe for our budget.
By working on a Master's, you've obviously had to do research in some specific field. That should be the first clue to where you want to work. If you are doing graphics research, don't go work for Symantec. Your research should get you good work, and then just let them decide what position you are.
Some of my buddies and I played an interesting game: Who could get a fresh Gmail account filled the fastest, and only with external mail (no uploading files to yourself). I won, and did it in exactly 1 week. Some of my techniques:
- Joining high volume Yahoo! Groups and Google Groups, and getting them to forward every message to me. There are a bunch of really weird groups in other countries that send p0rn around to each other.
- Every single kernel, debian, fc, slackerware, apache, mysql, etc. mailing list we could find... and WHOA we got a lot of mail from that
- P0rn sites ("Enter your email address for free p0rn in your email" really gets you on a lot of spam lists)
- Google "email mailing lists"
In a week, I had 29,000 emails in my inbox taking up 2.1 GB. I'm suprised Google hasn't terminated my account since I'm over my quota and get about 5000+ emails a day now.

well isn't Linux used mostly for server operations? Virtualization also adds a layer of safety and security between child OSes and their processor.
Awe, look at that... THEY don't like price fixing! I feel soooo sorry for them. Not.
Try this: look at some stocks, and then check the main page
It added the recently viewed quotes to your main page and started to aggregate articles based on those stocks. Pretty nifty.

goodbye Internet (now that pay-per-tier is coming out), goodbye E-mail

All myspaces must now be pro-Bush and Arab-hating, or else they will be pulled.
Because it doesn't. Can we get real articles on /. please.

What are you talking about?? I was watching Fox news and they said the economy is doing great! Oh wait, that was in early November.
Everyone on Slashdot needs to make sure they know a CPU is a Central Processing Unit before they read the article.
