I'm an American, not a European snob. ;) 25% is bad...but it's probably almost twice that in America. The point isn't to criticize America as...
That's not true, that's just a myth. While it's difficult to estimate the exact number of people who have ever lived, many historians and...
I would recommend you do the same. No serious sociologists expect the population acceleration of the 20th century to continue on through the rest...
The entire anti-outsourcing movement seems to be based on a few very flimsy arguments. Namely: 1. A sense that Americans are somehow more...
Their entire reason for existing is to make a profit. They aren't doing anything unethical by outsourcing to save money on labor.

Where does it all end? With something similar to the Matrix (which we're only about 20 years away from, technologically). Games like Halo 2 and...
