Excerpts:

• Because outsourcing can transfer jobs from the workplace to a foreign, remote location, a lot of people believe it destroys employment opportunities. While that’s not always true, it isn’t exactly incorrect either. (page 42)
• In special circumstances, services are performed on remote systems, such as through a website server or through some other type of remote access. Either way, buyers can specify where services are to be performed. (page 164)
• A bid request for malware includes the request for code or a service designed to (1) install onto a user’s computer without permission, (2) monitor computer activity without permission, (3) report computer activity to a remote server without permission, (4) display pop up ads, and/or (5) log keystrokes without permission. (page 177)
• Absolutely. We all know it doesn’t take a week to buy supplies unless those supplies come from some remote area clear across the world. It is reasonable to assume the coder in this example has not made sufficient progress in his Friday report, and arbitration is justified. (page 330)
• Keep the difficulties of remote design, where all communication has to be done in writing, in mind. The designer who has direct contact with their client gets a visual impression of the client and their environment – a privilege that is denied the remote designer. (page 407)
