While technology now allows companies to have their most sensitive proprietary computer code written overseas, he said the inability of companies to sufficiently vet the personnel involved in these activities can create a "significant vulnerability."

I am sure Chinese and Indian governments can do security clearances if asked.

Pointing out that collectors last year employed a wide variety of techniques in their quest to circumvent US restrictions in the acquisition of sensitive manufacturing processes

No problem. We are so creative that we will invent new technologies faster than they can steal. No need to cry over buggy whips.

Yeah, this is not the Kerry slam dunk that we are being led to believe that it is, IMO. I think that the Dems have more cards up their sleeves than a riverboat card sharp.

I have no problem with Bush fighting Kerry right now, but I hope he goes easy with the cash until after the conventions. His campaign war chest scares the Dems right now and they would love to trick him into spending as much of it as they can on Kerry before the convention and pulling a surprise.

Har!

Those technologies will be developed elsewhere. IT is a tough field, why bust your butt getting the degrees, certs, etc. if the jobs are going elsewhere.

My advice to the kids asking me about an IT career: don't. Go into auto body repair, HVAC, etc., open your own shop, be your own person and employee a few people.

Ameica's power, wealth and security has finally been put on the line, and we are losing it all. Between having to take care of millions of illegals, and seeing good jobs destroyed by foreign workers, Americans don't have a chance.

Equal time: Kerry's spouse has outsourced 35 of her companies to other countries. Wonder if the Democrat Unions know this?

Assuming that you're not being sarcastic, I guess that means that intellectual protection is unnecessary, except perhaps only for Americans against other Americans. A lack of intellectual protection discourages creativity and trade, which is ultimately why they exist--to benefit the public welfare.

And I'm also certain they will be happy to supply us with all the smart bombs we will need, and the guidance systems to deliver them, if we ever get into a shooting war with someone they like.

They're our friends, after all.

the executives could care less. Does anyone really think Carly Fiorina gives a damn about something like this while flying to lunch on one of the HP Gulfstreams?

they will be long gone with boatloads of money when problems like this hit the fan.

Exactly which foreign gov't do you work for?

Security over private information?

I am sure these honest governments, companies and individuals will be most trustworthy with such critical information.
