You forgot the fact that the cost of goods and services will never drop in half to match the salary drops. That equals profit. Why would they drop the profit?
Does apple drop the cost of the goods because they use cheap slave labor instead of making the products in the expensive US?

So enjoy your 10$ loaf of bread. It now only takes you 3 weeks to make that.

Have you seen what we are doing to the food they eat, the water they drink? Only bottled water is safe now. We have fast food in the schools. Fuck the kids money is the only thing that matters.
In fact unless you can show a company will come out better in profits you are not allowed to stop them from doing directly dangerous things to others.

Management feels it is better not to secure.

"A quote from a sony cio interview from 2007 regarding security sums up the problem and assures this type of mess will continue...

"The cost to harden the legacy database against a possible intrusion could come to $10 million, he says. The cost to notify customers in case of a breach might be $1 million.

Submission + - AT&T stopps using 'super cookies' to track cellphone data (miamiherald.com)

Submission + - Obama pressures FCC for strong net neutrality rules (reuters.com)

jriding writes: Obama posted a statement and video message online acknowledging the FCC is an independent agency and that the decision is "theirs alone." But he sided with consumer advocates in calling for the FCC to explicitly ban "paid prioritization" and reclassify ISPs to be regulated more like public utilities.

ISPs have fought hard against potential reclassification, and Verizon on Monday said such a "gratuitous" move would probably not stand up in court.

The ping command makes the remote server ping that destination. Commanding the server to ping not respond to a ping. That is a none destructive test of an apache web site.
