    A New Era?

    I'll have to agree with "Exchanges" on this issue. American companies don't give a damn about their employees. These companies are willing to lie, cheat, steal, exploit american workers all for the sake of their own bottom line. No wonder there is so much turnover in a company...

    I would go with the 512 MB of ram. Most of the computers these days come standard with 512 MB. I have 1GB on my laptop and it sometimes runs slow when I have e-signal and Tradestation running at the same time. Go with the 512 MB.

    The reality - from Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration

    That article trys to portray that companies can't find qualified technical people. They use this so that they can try and convince the govt to issue more H1-B visas so they can bring in cheap labor. Most of the "baby boomers" at least in engineering have been walked out and replaced by...

    The reality - from Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration

    Excellent article. The author is correct about the engineering workforce in America drying up. America better get their act together if they want to compete in this global economy in the future. I personally know a lot of engineers unemployed. There are absolutely no jobs out there...

    Eye Fatigue

    I had the Lasik procedure performed and it's the best thing I've done to enhance my vision without having to wear contacts and eyeglasses anymore. Go to a reputable doctor. The price has come way down since I had the procedure performed so its well within most people's budget now. They will...

    What would YOU do?

    One of the best posts I've ever read. Your situation sounds just like my mine. I also work as an engineer with no future, dead-end career path, lack of job security, salary plateau, etc. The first thing you need to do is get out of engineering as soon as you can. I don't mean to quit...

    XP Slow to Close Down

    Streamlinetrader, I am also running Norton and I just recently am having the same problems as you. Look in your TaskManager to see if you have a program called "ccApp" running. If you do then I can pretty much guarantee you that this is causing the slow shutdown. When I shutdown my...
