There is also the problem with credit card fraud that is/was rampant in the online casinos out of Antiqua and others.
Then there is the prospect of money laundering that will/does occur in online operations like these.
Then there is the little matter that this is one way. Whither a mistake or not most WTO member preclude gambling from WTO.
The US needs to be out of the WTO NOW!
This is what we call a sell out...
The conspiracy theorist might not how convenient it has been for M$ that many of their main competitors have suffered strange brain damage. Examples besides this one are SGI selling M$ its patents, SCOs kamikazi like charge into Linux, etc. The payoffs must be pretty good, it's nice to see billwg pulling his billions to good use.
Before the plague that is Outsourcing/Globalization was released upon us I've always thought that the problem with IT work was that there was no standards body or license control. An example I like is that if a auto mechanic wanted to expand into computer repair, networking and local development all he needed to do was put out a shingle advertising his new IT services. If the situation was reversed and a IT guy put out a shingle to advertise auto repairs at least in my state that IT guy would find himself in jail because it is a licensed trade.
I have allot of sympathy for those in academia in the US that are losing their livelihood to lower enrollment.
I also think that at least these school administrators thought that they were not going to be affected by the decimation going on in the it industry and so kept quiet about it. They felt that they would make up the numbers by importing students not knowing that education is not that important to the outsourcer as long as they can sell visa and offshore workers.
Unless they are going to medical school or learning to be a traditional engineer people often end up working a field unrelated to the subject of their degree. As far as Network/IT goes I would not recommend it. There is too much competition for the work, the discipline has been degraded by the quality of offshore labor and the financial rewards for the long hours and stress are just not there anymore. Though I'd agree that there will be work for anyone willing to specialize and who is good at what they do.

I personally would like to know when the publicly funded Internet became the property of the dial tone monopoly. No one guaranteed them a profit when they decided to hook up there telephony to the Internet.
You knew it was coming, once the slaves in India started to relise that even imaginary skill sets were valuable.
Big.com execs were going to need newer and cheaper slaves.
Enter our dear President and his Vietnam trade bill.
It helps that another Bill of the billwg@microsoft.com variety has already spent millions to build call centers and whatever else in the nam.
I think the problem the top 3% are going to have is the lnaguage barrier. The Indian slaves were already trained to speak English after a fashon during there little stint with the British. No so for the occupants of the various Peoples Republics.
Business as usual, When the Windows monopoly cannot compete on merit it devaluates a strong competitors key product by offering a debilitated clone for nothing and then claims that it is charity.
Everyone must of have known kids like this highschool, you know the billwg wannabes.
The dweeb has said "Some people think (my plan) is bad, and I'm on the parents' side," he said. "Teens should still be able to have their privacy -- and they'll get it if they drive safely. It's not so much to get kids in trouble as it is to open lines of communication with parents."
What a load of crap, what he and the rest of the track your life crowd are hoping for is either a self-rightous politician or an insurance company to come by and mandate these kinds of things for everyone or at least for drivers under the age of 24 (age discrimination).
Lets hope the captain of the football team gets caught and causes some locker filler time to happen to "Mr. Fischer". Then maybe he will come to his senses and go to where the big money is, "white collar" crime.
I have seen Dell reps. try to extort 99.00 USD to tell a user to press "F11" to bring up the restore function in order to restore the Dell computer back to factory.
Customer service is not what it used to be at Dell.
Racism is a business in America. If there were no more racism tomorrow a whole section of the population here would be out of work.
I'm sure that the advertising agency that set this up already has ads where the models are reversed.
Besides if this is wrong what about all of the advertisments in magazines and much of the programming aimed at teen through twenty something girls where whenever a male and female model is displayed the female is almost always white and the male model is almost always black?
Wow, a BS in CS with spec. in AI?
Congrats, now go out there and compete with the Indians, Chinese, Vietnamese, various ex-iro curtain people, etc.
Who get preferental treatment by America INC. because they can work for less than you.
Sorry.
Just from personal observation it would seem that robotics is at the point genetics was about 20 years ago.
Kind of at the point where most of the work was experiemental and those working in the field were making peanuts.
Like 20 years ago a PHD in Genetics would pull down a whopping 40k...
That was before the Ludddites in the Pharmopoly finally read the memo that you can make drugs cheaper with microbes ( and Chinese slave labor ).
Now if you can get the work, genetic work is usually pretty good, for now. As mor R+D is sold to the oversea slaves that may not hold up.
She was his personal assistant.
Got 5MM as part of the pre-nup and then it was shear bliss after that.
The rich are different...

It is very possible that any agency in the PRC has access to any advanced technology manufactured in their borders. The way the old scam worked was that if you were having a microchip manufactured in China and the goverment/military decided they were interested in it. You either give up the design or you have "labor problems" as a pre-cursor to nationalizing your facilities and your design and kicking you out of the country.
If they wanted to the party/PLA could have any number of devices integrated into a design with or without complicity from the re-seller. These could be hardware devices that may not be detectable unless samples of arriving product are reviewed at random.
Considering the fact that all PCs have Chinese manufactured componants and most are enitrely manufactured in the PRC and that the plutocracy that runs the US has let the multinations write it's foreign policy that is not going to happen anytime soon.
You can and will only connect what they want you to as they control what can be connected when and where using TCPA/TPM then Billg gets his turn telling you want to do with it and even if he will let you use his Windows on it using DRM/etc.
It is true that the temptation is there to take some other major there may still be employment opprotunities rather than the struggle that working in IT has become.
For those that love the various kinds of IT the choice is hard because they have to eat too.
You need a clue because your Apple bashing makes no sense since TPM was on x86/Wintel first and the 4C who came up with did not include Apple.
TPM is wrong, the way it is implimentented on PC and now MAC is a big kiss on the crack for the music and software industry.
Basically your PC was rooted when you bought it. The thing is like the "Terminator", it can't be bargined with, disabled and in most cases is hidden from view from the OS. It also will not stop being a backdoor in hardware so that your use of that PC/MAC can be tracked and to make sure your soon to be leased OS/productivity packages are up to date.
It's a brave new world out there folks so be safe...

The US is rapidly becoming a "Banana Republic" where cheap raw goods are traded for expensive finished goods.
There is no way the US economy can sustain "the American way of life" if the majority of production and services are moved to cheap labor countries.
This is what happens when you let multi-national companies set your forign policy.

Spies like us... Not to harp but you could say any PC/MAC with TPM/TCPA already is rooted. Who makes the TPM/TCPA chips, whp writes their code? TMT
