I'd triple your numbers easy just being American made. If we put them side by side with people knowing it was made in a sweat shop you would sell ***** all.

ohhh man you have no clue about business or american spending habits(there is a very very small minority that only buys american made things below 9%). do you shop at walmart, target, gander mtn, amazon, google, basically any multi billion dollar company? if you do then you are buying from "sweat shops" or actual sweat shops if its walmart. https://www.google.com/search?source=hp ...

Please try to get your quotes right, it's pretty annoying and lazy when you mess them up over and over and never bother to fix them. Your last post attributed something to me that you said and to you that I said. :/

You and Dallane were talking about outsourcing work to other countries and how you think it works like a charm. I was giving you my own experience that those companies I have worked for that tried to outsource to cheap labor places like China and India got what they paid for and had their intellectual property stolen from them with no legal recourse to get it back. One of those things was similar to a cheese grater in that it was a simple machine that can't really be 'compartmentalized'. Another was a more complex piece of electronics that couldn't really be broken up into pieces either. Another was a surgical tool which also had to be dealt with as a full assembly as it only had two parts.

I'm not sure how you'd really compartmentalize computer code either as it all has to work together as a unified whole in the end. Isn't trying to chop it up into little bits to protect it and then spreading it around to many agencies a lot of trouble? Isn't it also asking for a lot of bugs?

when you go into material realm of merchandise then yes you are deff asking to get ripped off. but you can also get ripped off in the states its called corporate espionage. its far easier to get ripped off overseas on that point you are correct. for bugs in code i have no clue so far it is working for me im not a programmer i have a intern from kirkwood college as lead programmer i can ask her if its buggy when she gets it from the contractors if you like.

oh and sorry about the quotes its pretty annoying and lazy that the forums havnt been updated for 5 years to fix the quote system :D

It's a standard forum template and had never had a problem with the quote system.

As for corporate espionage, I don't think it's as common as you seem to think. We have patents and NDAs with laws and a working judicial system to back them up.
