Submission + - Is globalization destroying U.S. I.T. jobs?

mrraven writes: "According to Ronald Reagan's former deputy secretary of the treasury in this article in Counterpunch , globalization is destroying U.S. I.T. jobs. According to the fine article:

"During the past five years (January 01 — January 06), the information sector of the U.S. economy lost 644,000 jobs, or 17.4 per cent of its work force. Computer systems design and related work lost 105,000 jobs, or 8.5 per cent of its work force. Clearly, jobs offshoring is not creating jobs in computers and information technology."

Is the U.S. on it's way to becoming a third world country of burger flippers?"

mrraven writes: According this article (requires registration) at Techworld Faraday cages can keep your wi-fi signal from leaking where you don't want it to go:

From the article:

Making a large building into a Faraday cage involves encasing the building in a thin layer of conductive material or metal mesh. In physics, a Faraday cage or Faraday shield — named for the British physicist Michael Faraday, who discovered the phenomenon in the 19th century and built the first iteration in 1836 — is an ingenious application of Gauss' law.

Tinfoil hat for an entire building, or ingenious lock for the 21st century?
