_yobq··on The $150k Solution
"If this was a solution believe me the market would figure it out and reflect that. In fact if it was true, there wouldn't be any engineering jobs available in the US in that it would be uncompetitive to have engineers in the US."

Isn't this what's already happening right now? The US is still competitive only because of the Capitalist structure that is already in place. Obama and other Occupy(tm) Socialists are destroying that, and soon you won't have any jobs left.

p.s.: Most of us from the 3rd world would like the US to keep its superpower status, to balance the threat of China. :)

_yobq··on The $150k Solution
I know I'll be downvoted for this, but the truth is, if these companies would offshore the jobs to Philippines or India, it easily becomes a $30K-50K/year solution. $50K is more than enough to attract senior devs who will run circles around their American counterparts.
_yobq··on No, Entrepreneurs Like Steve Jobs Do Not "Create Jobs"
Where do the customers get money to pay for products and services? Yup, that's right-- from jobs created by entrepreneurs and investors.

The Socialist mindset is what's destroying America.

_yobq··on Lamest bug we ever encountered
The lamest bug you will ever encounter deletes your whole /usr.
_yobq··on IBM setting out to build an electronic brain
I'd love to commercialize this by connecting our brains to a farm of electronic brains via an API. Brain Power on Demand(tm)! :)
_yobq··on Poll: How much did you earn from your stock options during exit?
An easier way to publish the info without defaming the company is to encrypt it with ROT13.
_yobq··on More Paypal nonsense
There is no good alternative. Existing alternatives require additional user signup, and the fees are the same.

The Internet needs a good Paypal competitor.
