In general it all started with telephone tech support, but more recently it has encompassed programming as well. I'm starting to think the only Tech jobs that'll be safe over here are those that require a physical presence.
I used to work for Symantec, well an outsourced call center anyway, and all too often after my introduction when a caller on the line I'd hear "Oh thank god, you speak English!"
Stockholders love offshoring because of the temporary boost it gives them, but doesn't it just really alienate the customer base eventually?
Yah, don't get my wrong,I've had plenty of my own power armor suit building dreams, but personal ones just aren't in our grasp yet. Maybe this guy should start a donation fund. He'll need computer programmers and engineers though, before he can ever suceed. It's gonna take more than one person, and more money than one person has(in most cases).
I would love nothing more than to see in the Headlines "Exoskeleton prototype invades Canada in test run. In related news, The united states has annexed Canada today, Oh don't look so surprised! We all knew it was coming."
Owens said he can't afford top-of-the line equipment, like infrared sensors and electronics that would govern the motion.
In order to even think about getting something like this working, you're going to need a very advanced computer system, and sensors for imput. Honda and Toyota havn't been pooring hundreds of millions of dollars into humanoid robot creation cause the only trick is making the legs heavier that the body. Really, I'll be suprised if this thing takes more than two steps forward before falling flat on it's face... Unless that is, it falls on it's back instead.
Naw, it totally sounded like it. As things go, more and more jobs will be replaced by technology, and if computers are able to fix themselves, well then our society is gonna have to change, a lot.
True, Glorified service men, that's what we are. We all have dreams, I wanna be a writer, I'm just pointing out that one of my day jobs might be dissapearing in the not so distant future.
"Few topics(Digital TV) have been as popular this past year among phone companies and their technology partners.
Wasn't there just an article stating that computers are now getting more use than TV nationwide. Is the topic so popular because the TV industry is desperately trying to save it'self?
Yes he stole the email addresses, that's not the point here. The judge said he couldn't be charged with the particular crime that the trial was for. That's why he scheduled a new trial in January.
Apparently the Can Spam law has found another way to be useless, but he'll still pay for the theft.
"Do I really trust a bunch of kids at some random university I've never heard of? Hopefully, the average person will decide that they do not trust this web site, and they will click Cancel. No Firefox for you!"
So we're supposed to stop downloading programs like this because they didn't pay $400 to release a FREE alternative.
Considering that this will most likely lead to an increase in casual pirating, we are also more likely to see an increase in new "copy protection", compatibility problems, and more hassle for users.
Everyone will have to have DNA replicators in order to copy files. This means the cheap production of in home laboratories capable of producing, modifying, and duplicating DNA strands...

Robots will do everything eventually anyway...

Well at least it helps developing countries...

Yar, ye be having a point. I just like to blame the can spam law every chance I get, like apparently so many others.

So in the future, instead of out-sourcing our tech jobs to India, they'll simply in-source it to the computer it'self..
What'do I care, I'm out a job either way.

Yeah it sure is great...

I find it... disconcerting.
I wonder if people are gonna start sequencing genomes to break security protocals now... Seriously, what would the encryption be like on this.
Pricing is something we do have a problem with. Aluminum case aside, this is an expensive setup.
They've acknowledged it as a knows problem, wonder when they'll patch it...
Way to grab the first post...
Well then, wonder if it has anything to do with bacterial infections...
Only if you live in the Valley, otherwise our air cleansed by the ocean breeze, or rather blown inland towards arizona, nevada, and the like...
I'ts like 80+ degrees outside (LA, CA), and It's Dec. 19th. It's hard to get sick around here, and even harder to stay that way.
