You know that's actually an interesting perspective I hadn't considered before. My job is actually a product of just such a person, an Iranian actually. Good thing we're now isolating and persecuting such terrorist states/people.
As far as I can tell brains are being drained well before anyone starts considering career choices. The sciences are losing, they have been for a good long time. US culture is being groomed away from hard work. We're about being "social" and "amused." I suspect too much focus for too long has been given to providing for a "better life for our children" that the value of maximum effort, and striving has been lost on the last two, probably three generations. Our predecessors have largely achieved their goals of eliminating backbreaking physical labor but no one bothered to keep the momentum of effort moving into the intellectual realm as we've transitioned away from manual labor. Asia knows that it must out think, out innovate to compete with the west and they've been relentless in their pursuit. Time is running out for the western world. Already it may be too late.
The big difference is that the Japanese culture is one centered around novel ideas such as honor, respect, "common good", etc.. The US is divided 50/50 between the F-U and the chaotic good parties.
The cipher algorithms request processing power which translates to fewer pages served per unit of processor resource.
Standard page compression utilized by web servers to keep bandwidth low no longer works... fewer pages served per unit of network resource.
The cost of security certificates from Verisign, et al. are expensive and self-signed certificates show up as big scary browser warnings to the ignorant masses where as standard unencrypted offers no such scare tactic.
quit asking this question it's getting really tired...
Policy makers are always coming up with some change in local time somewhere in the world. It's an OS patch that happens all the time. Been there done that. The only way to really throw a wrench into things related to date/time any more would be if the calendar was reconfigured or the 24hr/day scheme was abandoned.
Watson has an advantage at reading. Ok. The other players could and did continue thinking after they buzzed in. Watson was written to use the answer derived "before" buzzing in. Either way, with respect to methodology we don't know exactly how humans come up with our answers, we do Watson. Because we can identify his but not ours and believe they're not related does that really invalidate the product? At the end of the day Watson thoroughly thrashed the champs. That is no small victory. Humans make gaffes and so do AI maybe each is prone to a different flavor but does that matter?
Further, if you actually look at the Dell product line up they don't really sell anything, business or consumer that's bleeding edge with respect to performance if you exclude the Alienware niche line. As an end-user of AMD products I'm troubled by the potentials for the consumption of AMD by Dell. Dell however certainly stands to gain a great deal from it by eliminating the middleman.
I think the only real way to combat the M.I.C. is to educate the population about relative spending. i.e. DoD budget relative to anything else. Very few people truly understand the DoD budget, where it all goes and just how large it really is. The M.I.C. has been hiding behind the cloak of patriotism for far to long, using it to justify myriad expense and human rights outrages. People need to understand what's going on.

Which is why "Asians" are taking over the world economy and we'll soon spend our lives in the shadow of their might empire.

When did Verizon join camp? Or are you angling for "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" doctrine?
Refer to my post in GP.

Wanna bet? Two words: rural Wisconsin. There, they like 'em ignorant and most definitely disconnected.
At the end of the day it's all about the money.
Where do you live?
The authors of the study are just PO'd because can't afford all those roses.
We must rid ourselves of streets or at least require license to use them.
But does that mean gibibits or gigabits?
It can go right along side the PC Express card slot and other worthless port technologies pock marking notebooks.
Maybe someone that wants some recreational time in the evening...
Perhaps easier to ask but more difficult to net results.

You must be strong...

take it from a less merit worthy program. You've already got nearly $700B tax payer dollars. If you'd like some suggestions how about starting here:
Yup, this is definitely the work of hardcore terrorists. Time to extraordinarily rendition them and ship them to Git'mo.
Tell that to Anonymous in Egypt.

I seriously doubt that Google is worried. Consider what the processing resources are for answering just one user's question.

Since when did the Chinese have such lax work hours...?
