</div>Really? What if USD$5 provides a middle-class or better life in their<br>
country, and they can't get a better rate. Would you deny them to<br>
opportunity to work to avoid the mere possibility of depressing your<br>
own wage?<br>
<br>
By the way, 1946 called, and they're pissed off that you got a<br>
super-computer/pocket calculator that out-performs ENIAC for only $5.<br>
Do you know how many computer engineers that's going to put out of<br>
work? No one should have to compete with that.<br>
<br>
The progress of technology is always toward lower costs, so anyone who<br>
wants to be a technologist better keep expanding their skills or be<br>
preparing to accept lower wages.<br>
