India, Mexico, Taiwan, South Korea, Brazil, Columbia, etc. There are plenty of democracies or semi-democracies that would love to have our business.
Then I wonder why these countries aren't getting much of US business compare to China... the matter of fact is in supporting the current way of life in the US, it requires wack loads of stuff from China, period. Anybody would love to have everybody's businesses, only if you can do it.
It isn't just IT, it can be seen in many other industries as well. It believe this is just one more example of what my generation is facing (19-30), the "something for nothing" problem.
Hmm, I wonder where they learn this from? How come the young cavemen doesn't have that mentality?
That's right, soon you can place your tv dinner between your monitor and the no-battery wireless keyboard, surfing the web and see the meal cook right in front of you:)
Also, I suspect that the kind of people willing to rig an election are not the sort you want to have running the show. For more conspiracy fodder, are the Clintons really stupid enough to have a hand in this?
Or worse, some outsiders/non-nationals rig it to their country's advantage. Say Cuba hackers rig it to have a communist leader as president in USA lol. Never say never.
They should 'enhance' the voting machine accuracy by taking electronic vote as well as printing a paper stub to be toss into a different basket. Oh wait...
Thanks for spotting this out. I'm not sure wtf is wrong with/. editors and a lot of the submitters that post apparent flame-bait and anti-Chinese propaganda when they seize the chance.
I agree it is not greed. IBM may not care about $1M, $20M or even $500M. It's about their label and name and their reputation. They You may think it is "holy thunder of God Himself", but the very bottom line is money. If not, then what is? You think IBM will defense US citizens from terrorists attack or something?
The dude has $25K to spend on a very attractive hookers. I'm sure he's doing the math to figure out whether he's better off blowing it all on one, or getting 2,500 ten-dollar hookers.
Yes, but that'll take the 2,3 turing machine 37 billion steps before he can get the answer.
Um, Darwin awards? Unfortunately, criminals are still allowed to procreate and spread their genes. So unless he's either dead or rendered an eunuch, we're still screwed. -W
Maybe the printer splits lead-based particles into the air?
You are really missing my point. I'm basically saying if it is patented and is it related to the dramatic increase in size of hard-drive and decrease in price, and that I'm getting a 500GB for $100 drive, that means it's all good.
...can't really conclude if this is good or bad, but one thing for sure is that the next up and coming 'big' act will need to sign away their life if they want to be on major label.
Slashdot Mirror
I always wonder why they initial it with "KB"? Does that mean kick butt? Or should they really be "BK"?
How about lots and lots and lots of mouse and wheels? What if I give them HGH?
Hence, I demand a régime change in the US and A!
Yeah that's "raising the price" option. Where do you think they'll get the money to buy and deploy new equipment?
Coz this is slashdot?

Honestly I don't think it's a matter of "better" or "worse", but it's definitely DIFFERENT. It's definitely not fair (both ways).
Isn't that safer? I don't want implanted chips or digital display in my body.
...coz it's all "Patent Panding!"

They already did that in Canada with the government charging the media levy.
People loves conspiracy. However, all it takes to have these kinda of things happening is ONE smart-ass manager/director.
