Outreach project to teen tech dorks planned.
Our systems are becoming more complex, requiring more people with the software engineering talent to manage and maintain them. Finding the right people with increasingly specialized talent is becoming more difficult and will continue to add risk to a wide range of [military] systems that include software development.

Where do we apply?
Maybe here too.. http://www.darpa.mil/
They can always hire Chinese. Hehehehe....
Applying isnt the problem. How do I afford to go back to school after using my GI bill to get my first degree in networking. A Computer Science degree would be great but the student loans are killer.

Time to outsource ECHELON security management to India...
Pity you dont have free education, medical, and Public Housing (where Fifty percent of space in every building must be reclaimed for housing). Just think what you could do if you forced your entire population to get medical treatment and stay healthy, then get a degree in something other than Arts and crafts while they work a thirty hour week for income that gets spent on something other than Medical, Schooling or rent.

Yes, yes! How wonderful it must be to have decisions in my life made FOR me by others, or to be forced to do...well, anything aside from paying taxes and dying.
Where can I sign up for citizenship in such a utopia?

I think pretty much any country except America, but I'm not that worldly so I could be mistaken.
But, if we don't raise more home-grown computer programmers who can write quality code to make our defense systems run well, such an economic system as Yellowdingo (who rocks and is super cool) describes may be imposed upon us.
(or, we could get obliterated by aliens -- so we also need home-grown, hard-core haxors building systems to fight aliens too.)
Sometimes it's all I can do to bite my tongue.
Andrew you also rock and are super cool.
You and Canada both, the fastest track I could take to citizenship is an electronic engineering or computer engineering degree! Especially canada!
Pity I'm a physicist! :p

First world country...3rd world countries not so much...that's the problem, the US is becoming a 4rd world country...pretty soon we'll have some nice Shanty towns just like South Africa.
I need to learn how to speak Mandarin and Hindi. Architects won't be needed as much if we continue to fall.

Oh They will be needed but unfortunatly all the young minds dream of being a NBA player or a rock/rap/movie star, the parents think their little no talent kid really is that good dont encourage solid book education enough, I'm sure they do encourage some but most dont encourage enough.
Stars like Garth Brooks or Tammy wynet all had jobs before thye became famous. I believe mr. brooks was and may still be a qualified diesel mechanic and even after she became a famous country star ms wynet maintained her license as a beautician because as she said"it's something to fall back on in case this country music thing dries up"Todays folks just dont have that kind of planning or foresight.
The point of the rant is to point out that yes architects,doctor,scientists, etc will still be needed but they are not encouraged in schools or as a society.
I must live in a different America than you guys.
Or you simply see things in a diffrent manner. One is neither better than the other we simply see things diffrently.

It is very possible. But why are you noticing it now?

Famed Pentagon outfit DARPA issued a stark message today. According to the military tech bureau, America faces a crippling shortage of mad scientists - in particular, of mad computer scientists - in the near future, and only drastic action in the US educational system can rectify this.

Yay, I agree. It's an odd concept to outsource the programming of national defense systems.
