Your bank only knows that you spent money at Nordstrom. It doesn't have an item level transaction history, so it cannot know that you bought shoes unless it has access to Nordstrom's transaction logs. Therefore, for this to really fly, the retailer has to share their t-logs with the bank. So the banks aggregate t-log data from a number of retailers, and then resell that information back to the retailers.
Wrong, because in your first two lines you've got boy(tuesday) / boy(tuesday) once per line. These are identical, so there are only 27 distinct options, not 28.
You're right - there is an extradition treaty between Italy & the US - but this wasn't extradition, it was kidnap pure & simple. 23 agents from the CIA office in Milan have been convicted in absentia.
If this is true, its a shame that the Higgs Boson couldn't have found some way of rippling back through time to a slightly earlier point, and stopping the construction of the LHC in the first place, thereby saving us many billions of euros:(

I'm not sure the difference between good & services is at all obvious. Manufacturing software or t-shirts could both be done by US or foreign citizens. So does this hold for, e.g. Gap? Should all their produce by manufactured in the US? Should they not use foreign manufacturers?
I think that most Americans would appreciate hearing more than just one viewpoint on how their money is being spent Isn't that basically how you ended up with intelligent design on the syllabus?
who ends up with SCO's assets and IP? Yes - for instance the brand name must be worth quite a lot. SCO, as a brand, speaks to me of honesty, reliability, innovation and customer service.
Then again I'm waiting for Enron to reopen for business so I can invest my life savings in another rock-solid business.
According to Rob Weir's blog, Microsoft's 325-page OOXML specification for spreadsheet formulas is deeply flawed. So that's what the boys from the Grateful Dead are up to these days....

Not only that, but discovering how it works is trivial, using a tool like
IDA Pro, of which I am a happy costumer.
Refusing to give out source for this, citing security reasons, reminds me of certain proprietary software companies running scared.
An intelligent comment in a Slashdot discussion on outsourcing? Now I've seen everything:)
I'm a westerner living in India, and my opinion of the place & the people pretty much exactly matches what you've written. I've had to spend a lot of time building a really good team, but now that team is at least as good as any team I've worked with at home, twice as hard-working, and, yes, hugely cheaper.
And no, India hasn't reached its full potential yet. The two main issues that are likely to prevent it are the politicization of the education system as commented on in TFA (Karnataka, the state Bangalore is in has moved to prevent English being the primary language taught in schools in order to win votes with the the rural majority who have been opposed to the enormous growth in the cities as it has stretched even further the gap between rich & poor), and the hyperinflation of salaries. There's a good chance that India will become too expensive to operate in before it reaches that potential.

I think Aristotle first raised this question; several thousand years later Descartes weighed in too, but he was a luddite.
Sherman Tank has an entirely different meaning in Rhyming Slang.

They can sell their products cheaper by manufacturing them locally. The same does not apply to software development.

While we're at it, TCP stands for "Tube Carrying Porn", and IP is "Internet Porn", which goes to prove that the internet is founded on porn.
