And why go with Sharp? Why not Samsung? Their picture quality surpasses that of any Aquos set I've seen. Anyway, the only thing that will make the iTV a success is the ecosystem I assume Apple will integrate.

Where you work is not where almost everyone else in the world works, buddy. You can't replace the nations banking, trading, medical, and _____ infrastructure with iDevices, or Android devices, or :cough.crapberries:. I don't know what you do, it really doesn't matter, but you are wrong. iPads are mainly used as consumer toys, not IT solutions (which is maybe 1-5% at this point).

Comment Re:Serious addicts who "decide to use" it? (Score 5, Insightful) 382

Also, as the /. blurb, wouldn't this just increase the consumption for addicts since they cannot get the high they're looking for with "normal" doses, they would just increase the dosage. Right? "..makes the body resistant to the effects of heroin, so users would no longer get a rush of pleasure when they smoked or injected it." So they are still addicted and will feel the withdrawal effects and will then start smoking/injecting more of the substance.

The guy knew the consequences. I'm not saying its right from a human rights perspective, but he knew would could happen. The law is relative in different countries. Throwing someone in prison here for theft is the same as chopping off a hand of a thief in the old Iraq, relatively speaking. I'm sure people there who respect their laws are saying us Americans are a bunch of pussies for throwing people in prison instead of more serious punishments. In my opinion it should be an eye for an eye in the world. But back to what this guy did, he shouldn't be put to death, maybe a slap on the wrist will do it, but still. he knew what he was getting himself into..shit, he fled the country after doing it.

first off, Thats Business folks!! All entry level's aren;t paid as much as they want to be no matter how much experience they have under their belts. Thats what hard work and moving up the ladder is for. I myself am looking for entry level positions right now and don't expect to get anything above 50k for the 4 years of IT experience i have with internships at some of the biggest financial, internet, and pharma companies on the face of the earth. Welcome to reality folks. If you owned a large corporation, you would be doing the same thing EA is doing which is finding the cheapest labor which is willing to work, LEGALLY.
