October 31, 2007 at 2:57am. All this talk of Admiral Yamamoto of course reminds me of one of my favorite novels, Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon.

Relevant to my argument about Justice Stevens and his reflections - it's just what my cranial database always brings up when I see "Yamamoto.". Throw a pie in your face, like the Three Stooges? Ha, ha, ha!

Why do firms continue to hire overpriced American and Japanese software engineers when they can get them for half price in Hong Kong, even less in Singapore and Taiwan, and at a 75-80% discount in China? January 5, 2012 at 2:37 pm. Or perhaps the author’s experience is unrepresentative. (No! January 5, 2012 at 2:39 pm.

(See also the op-ed in IBD. Educated people have higher wages and lower unemployment rates than the less educated so why are college students at Occupy Wall Street protests around the country demanding forgiveness for crushing student debt?
