> Unless I am mistaken, or the NEW new-Math states otherwise, "44,000" is closer to "40,000" than "50,000".
Maybe they are including the 5000 telecomm workers laid off in July? That might bring the total to 49,000. Also worth noting that another 50,000 Americans did not get IT jobs because of the 50,000 h1bs brought into the US last year.
It's a common error to think that "h1b" visa is synonymous with "IT Worker", and you did not cite your source for your numbers.
> IT Jobs have been CLIMBING steadily since 2004. From a low of around 3,250,000 IT Jobs in 2004, to around 4,100,000 IT Jobs in 2008
But those jobs are going to guest workers, not Americans. There are nearly 2 million guest workers in the USA right now.
Again, while your reply seems to be more popular than mine, you again produce uncited numbers, and how they are relevant to IT.
> IT unemployment in the United States is at 2.2%
Could you cite your source on that?
My source is, again, page 30 of the July 14, 2008 issue of InformationWeek, they claim these numbers from the U.S. Bureaur of Labor Statistics.
> India's unemployment rate is 7.2%
Why is that relevant?
You are right, I should have mentioned that 7.2% is their overall unemployment rate. OUR overall is 5.7% as of July 2008. Same source, btw. It think how we stack up to one of our biggest competitors is QUITE relevant.
Now, please produce the citations to back your claims, sir.
Unless I am mistaken, or the NEW new-Math states otherwise, "44,000" is closer to "40,000" than "50,000".
The article seems to be a scare tactic right off the bat. NEARLY 50,000 IT JOBS LOST!!! It's NEARLY 45,000... but that is not as sensational as a big round 50,000!
Is this the normal ebb and flow? Or is this a net loss for the year?
U.S. IT Jobs have been CLIMBING steadily since 2004. From a low of around 3,250,000 IT Jobs in 2004, to around 4,100,000 IT Jobs in 2008.
This is from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, page 30 of the July 2008 issue of InformationWeek.
So how does a delta of 44,000 jobs make front page news? Because it causes Geeks to lose their minds?
IT unemployment in the United States is at 2.2%, let's all just thank God for that.
India's unemployment rate is 7.2%
Apparently there are only 2 known asteroids out there that are large enough to penetrate our protective shield of space junk that encircles our planet.
And one of those is Pluto.
The problem with alarm bells in Redmond is that it is actually quite difficult to isolate any individual bell in the absolute cacophony that is present there at any given time.
"Most people are aware of the recent articles contending that the Large Hadron Collider at CERN might destroy the world."
My want to change that to "Most nerds are aware..." since it has nothing to do with NASCAR, Paris Hilton, or high gas prices.
The question is whether or not those agents have been used for actual wartime operations. Since no war was formally declared, it is possible that the use of CS gas is limited to law-enforcement confrontations, or even training Iraqi police forces.
US Marines are required to be exposed to CS gas in Recruit Training, as well as once per year as part of the MOPP readiness training.

So.... RIAA is "blind" and should not only allow AllOfMp3 to continue its' illegal activities, but EMULATE them?
What should they do, sell pirated copies of Stephen King's e-books? Warez?
It's funny how twisted morals become when you are a recipient of the illegal activity.
Freelancer is simply awesome... one of those games that really immerses you... and an awesome story line that you have to kind of dig to find... it's not bashing you in the face... I like that in a game.

Let me get this straight, you've attended *four* colleges and you cannot form a coherent paragraph?
Did they ever?

Your post was interesting, until your pathetic need to inject your anti-Bush administration sentiment overwhelmed you.
This is why the thinking part of national defense is left up to those qualified for it.
