Comment Re:School is worthless... (Score 4, Informative) 309

I will never understand how everyone puts the H1-B visas as the cause of jobs shortage. There are about 65k H1-B given annually and they last 3 years, so you have about 200k job positions occupied by H1-B holders, in a country with a population of 315 million. do you REALLY believe the H1-B visas have something to do with the problem?
I'm not saying there isn't a problem, but I'm sure it's not H1-B visas.

Comment Re:Damn the summary (Score 1) 140

Exactly my point, which today it more than Gb speeds but no more than 10Gb. However, we do need higher speed technology for the core infrastructure of whatever core networks we are using. Call it enterprise core, service provider, or whatever you're using.

You know these port speeds are not meant to be used on access switches right?, at least on the beginning, there is no need to. Only high performing computing and Virtualization servers use more than Gigabit links today, but TenGigabit bundles and higher bandwidth links are used on almost every large network on core connections and core to distribution.

Comment Is the screen absolutely needed? (Score 1) 325

This might sound like a stupid question, but couldn't you start learning just using a computer keyboard disconnected from the computer, learn were the keys are, practice on getting better, etc. and then move to the computer?

I know there is a problem on not having feedback, but I've seen many people (and I've done it myself from time to time) that when they write, they are looking at the keyboard and don't even look at the screen. In a way, this provides all the feedback you need, since you have a visual confirmation that your fingers stroke on the correct key.

Comment Re:Perhaps stuff might last longer now (Score 1) 162

Why do you feel, as a consumer, that you wouldn't have to pay for it?, if you're the one using the product, why wouldn't you be responsible for the entire lifecycle of the product?

There's one point where we have to start to understand that we need to make responsible use of what we buy. Products should be much more expensive and durable, and should be manufactured and dumped responsibly.

Who types in domain names any more?, I don't, since I never know if it was companyname.com or was it .net or a specific .com for my country?, did the site require www. or just companyname.com was ok?

new gTLD will make the situation worse, and you'll have to rely even more on search engines, bookmarks and address bar hints to remember what was the site and under what TLD is found.

If anything, I would just remove TLDs instead of adding more, it just creates redundant information in most cases. No one will give away his own .com now that they have new TLDs, they will just register the .com and the .whatever
