Its happens in a lot of US sectors from mil to computers to support.
You set up a 100% US based firm to lobby for and sign off on US work, all the US legal needs, US contracting, US academic. State/federal US requirements are met.
At the back end is massive complex reality of a 24/7 cost saving outsourcing/offshoring service.
A massive reduction in US costs, a massive flow of long term cash out of the US for decades services all via a 100% Made in the USA success story.

You've actually never said that before, but Bravo for stepping up like a man, logging in, and stating your opinion ... oh wait.

He sought said warrant didn't he? Whom should we blame if not the idiot who sought the warrant. Yes it never should have been granted, but it probably was granted because he's the Mayor and he has that kind of power. So again, I ask you, whom should we blame if not the guy who abuses his power to seek a warrant in a case where no such warrant was ... well ... warranted.

Actually this is a classic case of the Streisand Effect and it seems like you simply don't know what it is. Many many more people now know about the account and have read it. Followers went up 400% as a result of his actions. I now know of a guy in Illinois who is clearly an idiotic douchebag. One whom I certainly never would have heard about if he hadn't made it an issue.

Slander and libel are civil matters that don't involve the police.

Free trade is great if you're a rich capitalist (e.g. someone that makes their living by owning capital). What about the rest of us? There's plenty of evidence to show NAFTA has been a disaster for everyone on both sides of the boarder except a few wealthy factory owners. Google a little and you won't find much to encourage you.

Karl Marx predicted that capital flowing to where labor was cheapest would result in a race to the bottom, but all anyone can remember about him is that a couple famous dictators happen to use his books for their rhetoric. Not that it's hard to predict that.

Organization (via Unions) is the only solution I can think of to this. Sure, we could call it something else, but it's basically Unions.

Un-Organized workers are too weak to demand or get better wages or a better way of life. Life basically stunk for everyone but a few kings thousands of years. It still stinks if you're not in one of the countries with a strong, well organized pool of labor that has solidarity. Sure, a few on /. might "Got Mine, FU" right now. But the powers that be are coming for you too....

Guns are dangerous because of the cultural media message. The message that the media presents people is, 'If you own a gun, you are powerful and safe.', Which causes people to purchase them for the same reason a lot of people smoked 50 years ago. Think about how cigarettes used to be portrayed in the movies and consider how guns are portrayed in the movies. Sexy, confident and charismatic movie stars were lighting up every other scene, so of course half the population was smoking. With essentially the same marketing, why wouldn't gun ownership in America be ubiquitous? Everyone likes to feel safe and powerful. The fact that a gun makes you neither safe or powerful is moot.

Guns are particularly dangerous to sell with this message because weak minded individuals who buy into the image can hurt others with a gun quite easily, since a gun is a tool designed to wound or kill its target, where as a cigarette is largely self-damaging. I suspect that guns wouldn't be nearly the problem they are if you removed the media message.

TI-36 solar version. Came with the vinyl flip case which still has part of its spine holding on like grim death.

Bought it just out of high school (back in the day) and recently used it for my stats class (about 2 years ago).

I still take it with me every time I go grocery shopping to keep track of how much I'm spending.

It has been pointed out hundreds of times already. The number of flaws in your analysis are astounding. Two that stick out are that there are an infinite number of bugs and that they all have the same weight and value. You literally concluded that if so and so said that they could find another bug in the same time frame that it was a fact. The bugs you are talking about would get caught by splint, so if you simply ran a decent code coverage tool on the code then his claim is suddenly bullshit. Your entire analysis is flawed. Do you really need me to show you the errors in your analysis. OK. Here they are.

they'll move on when the time comes. Most of 'em have degrees. They'll leave behind the slums. While they're there the locals won't mess with them, because if they do the police (who are heavily armed thanks to 30 years of hand-me-downs from the military) will bust some heads until they do. Remember the last round of riots in Los Angeles? Everyone laughed and called them dumb because they trashed their own neighborhoods. That wasn't by choice. There were cops in full riot gear with military grade tanks cordoning off the rich communities so they didn't spill over...

The poor have learned to keep their misery to themselves...

"Which part of it doesn't make sense to you?"

Actually there are e few things:

1. 1) You wrote a long, absurd and useless analysis piece and then actually decided to broadcast your drivel in the apperently mistaken belief that it is actually well written and has a point "I just don't get"
2. 2) Slashdot actually published your drivel
3. 3) You continue to defend it, despite an overwhelming number of people pointing out how incredibly stupid it actually is

All of those things baffle me

it's a scientific fact that people decline rapidly when they hit 50. They might be living till 80 now, but those aren't very productive years. Unless we're gonna start letting them die like dogs in the street (and periodically round them up and euthanize them like said dogs) then we need to do something with the millions of people that are still alive but not fit for work.

Or we could just stick are head in the sand and bitch about "entitlement". I guess that works too. Nice troll, btw. You kept it straight right until the end and then through in your flame bait. I couldn't have done it better myself (not even in this last sentence :) )

The analysis is absurd, and I'm pretty surprised that you would show your face at all. The fact that your appearance didn't involve an apology speaks volumes.

I've got some concerns over the 209 model...
