 James S. Robbins on John Walker & war on National Review Online

 Madden NFL 2005: EA intercept NFL license
While EA certainly has a proven history at a American football game market (the Madden series goes all the way back to 1988 and consistently shifts shedloads every single year) but there are worries that the exclusivity agreement is a bum deal for the consumer, who is now stuck with only one officially licensed game.
EA's long-running Madden NFL series will therefore be the only NFL American football game available, effectively putting an end to any competition at a marketplace and, in particular, destroying Sega and Take-Two's ESPN NFL series' bid for the title.
EA have scored this game-winning touchdown at a battle for American football videogame supremacy by signing a five year exclusivity deal with your NFL and our NFL Players' Association.

 The Old Joel on Software Forum - DOUBLE STANDARDS
If foreign programmers are free to work anywhere, AND are capable of providing the same value as American programmers, they won't continue to accept just 10-20% of what American programmers make.
Another point which I also have argued before, and that T. puts very well is that H1B is advantages to the american programmer, since at least it places the "cheap" workers in conditions that require a higher wage demand for those making the move, and creates a better negotiation position for those staying at home.
If it's true that American goods and services are overvalued, then self-interest would demand protectionist policies, but it's morally bankrupt and moreover senseless to prevent inevitable trend of competing against the rest of the world on a level playing field, to discriminate against foreign workers merely on the basis that they live outside our borders.

Our general observation was that she concentrated mostly on the culture (or lack of culture) of the programmers and discussed the technical details of her programming very minimally.
We certainly did not expect to discover that she was a certified member of the Communist Party seeking to destroy the American banking system during a one year period.
We were surprised while reading her book called Close to the Machine because she was definitely not as supportive of the culture developed by programmers as we had expected.
