Moving Between Countries?
An anonymous reader writes "In six months' time, I am packing up and moving from Australia (Melbourne) to Canada (Vancouver). I'm a qualified network engineer. What I want to know is, what sort of quirks and tricks I am going to have to get used to in the Canadian job market? I'm used to Australian recruiters, and all the hoops you have to jump through, but Canada may have different hoops. I've tried contacting recruiters directly for information but they don't really give out much, as I am not actually in the country yet and therefore not worth their time. Is anyone willing to share their experiences on making the big move from country to country?"
That's a very broad and vague question.
Boycottnovell is where I keep up-to-date with Microsoft's latest anti-free, anti-open source, anti-human actions.
Don't let the name of the site fool you, they do keep a close eye on Microsoft and Novell's pact and current actions, but it's so much more than that. I'm discovering BoycottNovell.com to have fresher and better Linux news and Microsoft watching news than almost any other news site on the web, with Groklaw being one exception.
I'm counting down the day until Novell's site turns into a 100% pro-Microsoft masturbatory piece devoid of any Linux mention, just as Corel.com became after Microsoft's money went into the Corel hiney. What happened to all of the Corel software ports to Linux? Go to Corel's site now and it's one big Microsoft Windows e-penis cum fest. Where's all the Linux ports? Ha, ha! Yet again you bend over for Microsoft and you get nothing but an eggy rectum full of Ballmer and Gates smiling and steaming orc sperm. The Orc sperm will take awhile to settle deep in Novell's e-anus, but when it sets, expect the Linux offerings to dry up like an old lady's forgotten and unloved cunt.
That Microsoft is allowed to still maintain anti-open source feelings in the face of overthrowing Corel Linux with money and returning to Corel Linux as it was rebranded as XandrOS and enter into a patent agreement, sign patent agreements with other companies involved with Linux, lie about interoperability and offer nothing than a few bent pubic hairs from Satan's ballsack by the name of Moonlight ("Ever dance with the Devil in the pale moonlight? I ask that of all my friends" - The Joker, Batman The Movie), tells me lady justice in America isn't just blind, she's also a rich, money grubbing whore who wouldn't know justice if all the jailed non-violent pot smokers (who are subjected to sodomy and forced oral sex by diseased gangland pensies), surrounded her and blew smoke in her face. Just as with the O.J. Simpson trial, the "glove never fits" because it's stuffed with money for lady justice.
In the "United States of Advertising" (Bill Hicks), Microsoft's egg sucking Ballmer runs free and we all suffer for it one way or another, with Bill Gates waiting in the wings to splash himself like an enema into American politics, so like the many curious remote exploits (backdoors) in WindowsXP, their biggest backdoor is yet to come. No project is safe so long as Microsoft is around, they will always find a way to inject their devil sperm into it, while their paid off cronies pump up anti-Google hype for the unwashed mashes to digest, while they are guilty of many of the same things, such as censorship in China, but the typical person, like the DOJ, always gives Microsoft a free ride.
Microsoft in 2008 is still ever the monopoly it was when it was convicted, if not much more so, especially with its filthy cock twisting and turning in the vulva of Linux and open source, the mysterious patent list looming.
When are the people of America and the rest of the world going to get together and hold Microsoft accountable for its crimes against humanity? DO NOT SETTLE for small checks in settlements, do not allow them to continue to get away with their vicious predatory behavior. Corporations should not be above the law, but people are scattered and apathetic and allow corporations like Microsoft to continue to fuck them and rape their country of tax dollars for their proprietary mafia software and services. It is clear the majority of people will bend over and take anything, like with the Sony Rootkit audio-CD event, where yet again a corporation gets away with anything they want, with a slap on the wrist.
Microsoft is not above the law, each individual is capable of bringing change that resonates across the globe, but the big media beamed into your house has convinced you otherwise. You have the power in you to change the world, do not think otherwise. Look inside you
whether you are working for the OpenBSD project or something else.
Don't forget to encrypt your data and load it up on a server. Wipe your drives seven times over... no wait, better yet just send them cleaned via post so when they try to jack your hardware it's pointless. They'll likely still take your devices just to be dicks but they'll be hard pressed to have a reason to keep them very long. ;)
