Actually, so many jobs - or, more accurately, job functions - have been outsourced to India that India is an outsourcer of jobs themselves, mostly to China.

So, in other words, it's pretty much a vicious cycle? :P

 

Except for the fact that the American worker is nowhere in that cycle.......

Live by the market, die by the market. The United States is a capitalist nation right? Well, that's what happens in a capitalist economy. If a company can make greater profit by moving operations to an area where the workforce costs less, such as China or India, then Joe Yank is heading for unemployment.

He shouldn't have kissed her like that, but the reaction among some in India is absurd.

It will work if kept tasteful and intellectual. If they try to introduce any Disney-esque tackiness and crap, then it won't work.

A movie wasn't necessary, since they concluded the central story in the television series.

I thought it was fanboyish nonsense.

No, they don't.

Shinzon was a ridiculous villain. Dukat was the best Star Trek villain.

Voyager is done. They got home and the story ended. Whatever happened to them next can be addressed in fan fictions and novels.

I will never understand the fascination with these "shock jocks".

Good for them.

Sorry to hear that. Hope he recovers soon.

Anything over perhaps watching two episodes in one day or perhaps one movie in one day sounds excessive to me.

As I recall, didn't Quark rent out his holosuite mainly for sexual purposes?

He did. From a business perspective it makes sense. If there is a demand, provide the supply. I have no problem with that as long as no one is harmed.

One could argue that using the information gathered by unethical medical research would at least provide some good to come from the suffering of the victim. So although they died, if that information can save others, then they didn't die for nothing. On the other hand, it can be argued that using medical knowledge obtained by unethical practices tacitly approves those practices and may encourage it in the future. Overall, I would say the best approach is to use any useful medical knowledge, but punish the one who gathered it unethically. Seperate the man/woman from the knowledge since it's not the knowledge itself that is the problem.

They are not making it "anew". They are not "redoing" any of the TOS episodes or movies. So it's not a remake.

In terms of development and depth, Kira Nerys is the best female Star Trek character.

On VOY, it's Seven Of Nine. Janeway second.

Space....the final frontier....playground for the rich.

It's not a "remake". It will either be a "reimagining" which would be loosely based on previously established canon, but would not be either a total break (a "reboot") or a total adherent to old canon, OR simply an new incarnation that fits into previously established canon in an era which has not been previously visited.

I've seen this kind of thing before, concerning the mistreatment of the eldery. Secret video footage of old people being shaken and slapped and having to eat cold food and even being put into scorching hot baths. It's disgraceful. If I worked at an elderly home and saw the staff abusing them, there would be violence.

Post Modern Sleaze - Sneaker Pimps

Poor creature.

Very interesting. Appealing too. Some may find it uncomfortable with the prospect of being a tiny-teeny part of a much larger universe. Personally I find it humbling, a demonstration that humans shouldn't get too cocky. A little humility is good for humanity I think.

They should call her "Entersandman Metallica Tomaro"

They ran out of fuel and ditched. It's not hard to believe that a relatively tiny plane will never be found in the vast Pacific Ocean.

There is an approved list of names?

I believe the Swedish government has approval over the names parent choose for their children. A little odd but it does prevent parents saddling their children with some ridiculous name (see Moon Unit, Apple, Moxy Crimefighter, etc).

Didn't Nicolas Cage name his kid "JorEl" after Superman's Krypton Name?

No, he named him "Kal-El" which is actually Superman's real Kryptonian name.
