Linux.com

the funny thing is, is that most people here are talking about making money from jobs, which is only one aspect of the way that other countries are considering national policy. i read an interesting paper a few months back from some ex-cia guy who taught at some mba school, and he was saying how our govt is really concerned about when china starts inventing their own linux, etc. some of these other countries mentioned have literally multiples of the population in the us, even in the americas, and they will be (are) throwing all their resources not only into making money and dominating markets, but in turning the lever around, so to speak, about who has the control over the passwords, security, encryption, etc in the new technologies developed. it's also largely a "homeland security" thing. tech companies in other countries won't want their employees (let alone american employees) to know anything more about the future "what's up" than any of my previous us benefactor corporations.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:)
