I wish they had spent that the $250 million on building schools and other social programs instead of blowing it up on an experiment to collect solar dust!
Why should software be free and open source? Does GM tell provide you cars for free or tell you how to make a V6 out of your V4 engine? Do Coke or Pepsi provide free drinks or their secret formula for making it? Shouldn't software be like other "products"?
I don't know why people cry about a few thousand jobs outsourced. Hundreds of thousands more are lost being to quality free software provided by open source foundations. Ever wonder how many jobs will be lost if everyone switched to free Linux and stopped using Windoze?
And H-1B's are preferred by employers because are the cream of workers from countries around the world, work for lower wages, are willing to work longer hrs & are bound by tough immigration laws. What capitalist company doesn't like cheap skilled hard-working bonded labor?
By writing or supporting free and/or open source software you are paving the path to your own unemployment. Microsoft vs. Sun Microsystems, paid vs. free, employed vs. unemployed choice is yours.
