Why only "third-world dirt-hut coders"?

I am a computer scientist in Iceland and the demand for good computer scientists here is really low. I would definately consider moving elsewhere to be able to work at the level I want to (i.e. not just administering some small firm website).

Yeah, I know this has nothing to do with the point you're making, but it's certainly something to consider. There are other countries than from the third-world that have a surplus of capable IT professionals.

I think this is necessary, although I'm kind of surprised that the American authorities allow this kind of surveilance. I would have thought that they were too proud (for their own good). But I'm really really really glad this is happening, and hope this election will turn out better than the last one (in terms of counting votes). And of course, I hope every /. reader will go out and vote. For the record: I am not an American, so my opinion are not completely unbiased.

My own personal jesus?
