Well as an International student who studies in a US university, I don't see why Americans have to worry about programming or engineering jobs "lost" to someone else. It's just a shame for those folks whining "shame on Carly Fiorina shipping HP jobs to India".
You see, you can accuse whatever "Chinese/Russian/Indians/Isreali/Japanese industrial spies steal the latest Time machine diagrams" or "Chinese/Vietnamese/Indians wipe out "our" programming jobs", but isn't United States of America is built on innovations and "all men are supposed to be equal" ? You got Indians who are as capable as you're then they've equal rights to have your jobs. Well then, prove them you can do most Indian outsource companies can't do: from advanced Artificial Intelligence (make some robots girlfriends), search engines (that beats Google), software radios, clustering (can't someone on PC or Linux side write something as good as easy to use as XGrid ?), Medical Computing (if more computer and electrical engineers would learn and dedicate more time to pacemakers and other medical equipments, the world would be a better place ?) ?
Those whining Americans have no idea how lucky are they. At least you can have some education. At least if you have a vibrant VC communities and government funding programmes, that if you've the right moment and the right mind(s), you can start a successfully and insanely great company. I have great respect to my fellow American classmates who work hard everyday who are not just active learners but THINKERS as well.
Until the day India and China have real democracy and innovative culture, I don't see how smart people would have to worry. Just leave the tedious works of your company call centers, web stuff and "enterprise software" go to Indians/Chinese made cheap boxens, and spend your time to make the next killer apps...
"Who moved my cheese" is a good book too... btw...

Sorry, you're free to delete Quicktime.framework if you see fit. It is located at/System/Library/Frameworks/Quicktime.framework . Also, Mplayer OS X and Microsoft Windows Media Player works just fine on all Mac OS X boxs without using any Quicktime libraries at all.

>DHCP is on by default, that's all that is needed >to attack a default client installation.
Oh hold on young grasshopper.... if you don't get SSH on how can get you get into the machine to write some graffiti ? AFP and FTP don't allow you to get into other home user directory...
Remote exploit ? Can you say subnet exploit ?! Victim gotta have DHCP and SSH turned on. So not a default client installation exploit.
You MAY say MacOS X Server got SSH turned on so will be vulnerable, but you must enter a static IP address at the system setup, that means you've no DHCP options unless you manually change it to DHCP later at "System Preference". By the way, if you do use DHCP to hand out server IP address you deserve to get rooted.
Anyway I get enough laugh out of some amateur security people today. Movie at 11.
-The new supercomputer will run a Chinese-designed Linux operating system.
No. The new supercomputer will run a Linus-designed Linux operating system that has been heavily modified to suit the tastes of the Chinese. Counter to popular belief, the Chinese did not design Linux.
Wrong wrong wrong !!! The The new supercomputer will run a Linus-designed GNU/Linux operating system that has been heavily modified to suit the tastes of the Chinese.
I've got a Motorola T720 phone, which it claims it support 3G (in future) or their Express Network.
I subscribed to their $2.99 USD http://www.sodapopmail.com/ SodaPopMail BREW applet. Works okay for me for quick check.
Also many VerizonWireless phones work with a laptop using a USB cable as a PPP modem. My Powerbook running Jaguar has no trouble following the guide from John's page at http://homepage.mac.com/jrc/contrib/mobile_office/
Well as a electrical engineer wannabe myself, I feel like the clones (the foreigner) and the majority human races (American) are against us;).
First, let's put it this way, remember that most Americans (unless you're Indian American) are also immigrants decendent that their ancestors stepped off the boats earlier than the foreigner.
And frankly I am not worrying a whole lot about these H1B visa issues. If you're good, you'll be okay anywhere. Take the inspiration from the earlier Slashdot thread What Should I Do With My Life?.
I guess many slashdot readers might still have the perception the mad Chineses or Indians or Russians (and many other countries) are the 'engineers' or the 'programmers' that are underpaid and stuff, and therefore steals poor American jobs. My opinions are the H1B visas are the scapegoats because so many laid-offs.... economy downturns and we're still waiting for the next-big-thing, so foreigners should be kicked out and give jobs to Americans. The real story I can tell you is, it is damn hard to get a part-time programming job in university, let alone H1B visa if you're foreign students (at least at my university). It is damn more expensive sometimes to hire a foreigner... think about the paperwork and stuff. If a foreigner can get a job in America, he is surely the best-of-the-best. Get real, cheap != efficient okay.
Actually I am more than happy if AFL-CIO manages to scrap H1B. You're just kicking them back to their countries, helping them to solve their brain-drain problems;). Well guys you're going to lose another round on globalization, sending the best and the brightest trained from the most adavanced and technological nation, back home. I'm sure many Chinese and Indians are great entrepreneurs, and by then you'll hear US companies outsourcing MORE to these ex-H1B folks. Not a good strategy either.
Remeber, the truth is in you. Whoever innovate wins go fuck the prom queen. Losers go under the food chain. That's exactly how the economy should work, right ?
Well pen computers are common... look at Apple Newton. The original Newton 100 to 120 didn't do it right, but Apple did the right thing for Newton 2000 and 2100, sad that Steve Jobs killed it. Check Wired : Apple's Newton Just won't Drop. Also the Go pen computing operating system. Both Go and Apple suffered the "first mover disadvantage". Too early. Hand recognitions were crappy for early models.
Now let's not worry about how evil is Microsoft first. Really the reason I use a computer because I write crappy stuff and want to express my idea QUICK. I bet many people can type more than 50 words per minute. Try do that with that Tablet PC. Yea that's why the Danger PDA and the Treo comes back with the keyboard. Also if you notice from Microsoft's propaganda, other than their classic "editorial", you should be able to see that Microsoft wants people to write more of their idea in their handwritten form... okay... taking all my notes electronically, is it easier if I bring a smaller Wacom tablet with a small Sony VAIO or my beloved Powerbook ? This way I can draw and type productively. (Yea Apple adopted Newton's handwritten technology into Inkwell also)
Also, now get to the price of a $1000 to $2500 USD for one of this table, for its handwritten purposes, I might get a yellow pad papers at OfficeMax for $5 USD, still serve me well.
Also I wonder if I lose of the table PC, then I've ruin the rest of my day with it. I did that many times with my Palm.
I'd rather bet on the OQO more. Yea some of the employees are ex-Apple, somebody correct me if I'm wrong
Well let's not worry about the point of morality or double standard on US government. Now think about what type of programs and technologies can defeat censorships (whether the enemy is RIAA or Communist iron-fist or probably even your cable network provider) ?
1) JXTA and the new Apple Zeroconf protocol - for creating a Mesh network 2) Freenet ? 3) Cryto ? 4) true collaboration software

Hats off to them no matter what please and start brainstorming your new projects on Sourceforge.
MacOS X 10.2 Server has several things that everybody should look into.
1) Workgroup Manager, Server Settings and Server Monitor service running on a MacOS X Server can be monitored on pretty GUI interfaces from another MacOS X box (yes, even just MacOS X Jaguar). Starting and stopping of a service is just click and point. Toggling off OpenSSH service is just a check box ! And of course you can still start and shutdown stuff in textmode. Compare how much time you save from the GUI to ssh into a box, fire up emacs or vi and set 'ssh="YES' and do a restart and log out ?
Linux and FreeBSD should have a better and INTUITIVE way to manage a huge amount of servers. The GUI won't make any difference in one boxs, but it's going to make a big difference in a cluster. Think about why biotech companies prefer XServe.
2) The built-in Apache, Sendmail, MySQL (yes , MacOS X has built-in MySQL), SSH, Samba, Apple Filr Service do not have to do a complicate fetching of tarballs... and compilation. And "Software Update" from Control Panel are several clicks. And there you'll have regular mod_ssl update. rpms and.deb files are still too much for many folks getting used to GUIs. Frankly after getting many many many installations of Samba and Netatalk myself at my home network, I'm getting tired of constant tracking of versions and features. See not everybody have a huge IT department and Apple's MacOS X does make it user-friendliner to manage and maintain updates.
3) The default Apache comes with MacOS X 10.2 can run Tomcat JSP.
4) It is way more easier to add and remove users with Workgroup Manager on MacOS X Server, even adding people to LDAP servers. Can somebody tell me what softwares can I manage to do the same thing on BSD and Linux ?
Combining all of the above, I think an Apple XServe is not necessary a bad option. The price of a comparative Dell Intel 1U server probably won't be that far off. Even a $1k different is justifiable if I know it's easier to manage.
Well might you'll say using their stocked Apache and MySQL sucks. You can always compile your own version. No problem !

it's just seems people have things to pick on anything regarding Indians. I mean there's nothing racist or sexuality about it, jez.
