I prefer to keep gmail a separate, standalone app. Fine if Google wants to integrate sepraately under other apps (as long as they aren't sharing my personal info a la facebook).
Is this like sweeping dirt under the rug, or offshoring steel mills to China & Pakistan where almost-smart Americans no longer have to see the visible pollution that goes into manufactured products we use every day. As long as it's not happening in our backyard or where we can see it, it's good for the environment.
There is a huge push for telemedicine right now. Lots of money is going into developing systems where docs can perform consultations via internet.
An objective of all of this is to further reduce healthcare costs by offshoring many routine examinations to Bangkok or other third world physicians. Your tax dollars at work.
Case in point.. my job is being replaced by indian programmers.. and I work in healthcare/IT.
I want to be motivated and excited about the news in this article, but I'm not. Sucks when you are in said field and you can't compete with cheaper indian labor.
On a non-production system I made the mistake of editing the httpd file through Yast2. Yast "helped" "fix" my conf file so that Apache would not longer work. I learned not to edit important configuration files through gui tools.
I haven't looked at SuSE linux in almost 4 years.. SLES 9 was very stable.
Ubuntu is on all of my workstations & laptops now, and RHEL is on the servers.
Ok stop acting like Luddites and embrace the new economy. Programming is currently complicated and requires costly developers to write and maintain. In order to increase efficency, lower payroll, and satisfy shareholder demand, languages like runrev should be embraced by business.
This innovation is no different than automation on the assembly line. The global economy has changed around you - it is time to recognize trends and retrain. Otherwise you may find yourself out of a job and career.
with an agenda might be willing to say anything to further a cause. I'm not suggesting these anon sources are liberals... if anything, I'm suggesting just the opposite. Nothing like peak oil scares to drive up the cost of oil.
The lectures are exactly as Carolyn described - rushed and poorly delivered. Both of my professors are smart and knowledgeable, but the teaching method is easy for them and hard on the students. Also - practically anyone could stand up in front of a class of students and walk through a PPT. If you read slowly enough an entire class period can be wasted with a single presentation.
In both classes very little time is given towards class discussion or Q&A.
Powerpoints are a win-win for colleges though -- less skilled teachers can be employed at lower wages.
requiring a safe workplace environment for employees?
a basic minimum wage (which is still far below a living wage)?
The reason jobs went overseas is greed. Most plants that shut down here and pop up in Asia were profitable beforehand. Corporations see their competition raking in far greater profits due to lack of regulations in third world state, so they manufacture reasons why plants have to close down in America. Hell, most of them are pretty clear about their intentions and reasoning.
And stupid American workers buy into it, or the other PR technique -- guilt. Let's show pictures of starving children in Ethiopia.. Have to move our factories there, got to lift the third world out of poverty they tell us. But the money saved from cheap third world labor winds up in corporate earnings portfolios. Very little trickles down into the hands of third world peasants (sic).
The bill provides mandated coverage for the health insurance industry - only a small handful of people will quality for the reduced "public option" plan. If you freelance, or are self employed, or otherwise fall above the cutoff -- you are required to buy full priced health insurance from a private firm.
The OP wasn't referring to actual *banking*, but the jobs that go along with supporting online banking. God knows, Americans are too wealthy, lazy and don't want to those jobs anyway. Viva unemployment benefits!
Have a gander at The Kahn Academy. Free, expansive and excellent learning materials focused primarily on math and science (the areas America need most help in). Sal Kahn has a youtube channel set up here, with topics ranging from how to multiply to quantum physics. Each explained clearly and concisely (and obviously, broken into 10 minute lessons).

I would love to know how much upper level management & the CEO were making, including bonuses, during this period.
No, it's easier to insource indian workers with H1-b's.

Right-click & back. Never use the button on the toolbar.
thanks for catching & correcting.

It is currently illegal for the government to pay for abortions.
Few people will actually be covered under the reduced "public option". This bill was another payout to corporate America, on the taxpayers' dime.

Despite the scare tactics from the right, this bill is NOT national healthcare. It is another fucking welfare check written to corporate America.
The rest of us, those who work from home or are otherwise self employed - will have to pay for insurance whether we need it or not.
This bill is a bailout for the health insurance industry, not socialism.
In the words of an infamous congressman: you LIE.

This is NOT the change I voted for.
Companies would not be outsourcing to countries with lower costs of living, where lower salaries go a longer way.
