Well thats not entirely correct, nvidia has an announcement on there web page about the new nforce4 boards that will handle the new fx-55, SLI, dual channel, and the rest of the goodies
I also work for a major defense contractor. The main FAA contractor in fact, and I can tell you this.
my job is not going anywhere.
Why? Simple. Complex projects that require the supervision of the government, and that need to maintain and exceed a certain level of internal security; will not be outsourced.
we do however need to realize as a country that cheaper != better.
if you want to have a product that will perform up to a certain level, and that will be maintainable for the long haul, you need to keep it in house.
I guess its how you look at it. I was a manager at a major pizza chain... college town, @ 6.50/hr
When people yelled at me, complained about how the pizza was short on toppings, had too many toppings, was over/under cooked, ect.. Either they got a free pizza, or they got blacklisted in our delivery book.
I never got fired, I never got scolded, we sold pizza, a lot of it, and therefore the 'How' was not as important.
Now i work for a major defense contractor, if even gave a reason for our customers to yell at me... I'd be fired... end of story.
So sometimes being a low paid grease junky is not all that bad.
I work at Lockheed, and it bothers me to no end when we have to fix old systems that have been in place since the 70's... written in some crippled form of assembly for god's sake.
I would love to see newer systems out there, in fact we are in the process now of replacing the enroute traffic systems across the country right now.

i'm rather 'attached' to my arms and legs right now so the whole plasma monitor idea is a bit 'out of reach'
I think the bigger problem is humans going around deciding what is invasive and what's not..
back!, back! daemons of stupidity!!
