Also, quite frankly, I'm sick of spending $1000s on professional apps and then pirate kiddies have the same shit but this is one of the joys of using a Mac. The pirate kiddies ask "where can i download a cracked copy of Logic Pro, bro?" and I have to say "Sorry, Logic Pro is Mac only, kid".
Too bad for you that "pirate kiddies" don't have to buy an expensive Apple personal computer and can run OS X inside a free emulator on an IBM compatible personal computer. Thus, they can in fact find a pirated copy of Logic Pro and run it for free. On the plus side, once the "pirate kiddies" become professionals and start making as much money as you, they will also pay thousands for software that they got used to while studying/growing up.
You can't read a single political forum/discussion without running in to a bunch of "paid per comment" people.
What you are seeing is not necessarily paid comments. Many Russians do indeed like their current government. Every time there is an election in Russia and observers claim discrepancies, all you have to do is pay attention to exit polls, which pretty much confirm that votes are not being changed behind the scenes and people do like Putin and his party.
You also have to remember than the most vocal ones are people from few big cities in Russia (i.e. Moscow and St. Petersburg) and they do not represent majority of Russians who live in rural areas. We have similar situation here in US - people on TV do not always represent opinions of majority.
Your explanation is of investment term "realized loss" is actually Sunk Cost, which is rather different. You have realized losses in sunk cost scenarios, but it is not always the case the other way around.
Having less competitors means that price war will not be as strong as before. No wonder that after all of the acquisitions in the last couple of years, prices are not dropping as fast as previously.
Under Florida law, he didn't have to believe his live was in danger to be able to use deadly force. If it was reasonable to believe that he was in at a risk of "great bodily harm" or that he was preventing "imminent commission of a forcible felony", then use of a deadly force was legal.
2011 Florida Statutes CHAPTER 776 JUSTIFIABLE USE OF FORCE
776.012.Use of force in defense of person.—A person is justified in using force, except deadly force, against another when and to the extent that the person reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or herself or another against the other’s imminent use of unlawful force. However, a person is justified in the use of deadly force and does not have a duty to retreat if:
(1)He or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony; or
(2)Under those circumstances permitted pursuant to s. 776.013.
I also have had good experience with Hyundai. I bought my Elantra in 2004 and the most serious repair/problem on I had, was change of brake pads...which is wear and tear and with the way I drive, I am surprised I am not changing break pads every year. I have over 100k on the car and drove it few times coast to coast w/o any problems.
Really? It's not like Sanjay is going to be eating the burgers those locals will be hired to flip.
I think that was precisely the point of the parent. Sanjay will be better for the economy, because he is an immigrant and is more motivated to succeed rather than to leech of the government and talk about benefits he is entitled to.
..."we can't find a CISSP who will work in the Bay Area for $24,000/year."...
They might want to hire someone for $24k, but the H1-B process does not work like that. They have to send all of the job requirements, resume, diplomas, recommendation letters,and other supporting information to government for Labor Certification process, which will give them a minimum salary they are allowed to pay for that job. Numbers are usually based on averages for the job and the region.
...Couple that with "secret requirements"...
It is worth mentioning that your experience, that you gained while already working for the company that is applying for your H1-B visa, is NOT allowed be used to justify your qualification requirements for the job. You will fail Labor Certification process and will not get H1-B approved.
How is increasing the number of workers supposed to decrease the unemployment rate?
It will prevent people from working for $1 oversees and competing with you on solely on the price. Instead, they will come over here and join the ranks of unemployed and drive salaries of software jobs up (since there are less people now willing to work for lower pay).
Out of curiosity, if I wanted to have a web application that used AJAX to listen for change events from the server (long-poll style), how in PHP would I notify any waiting requests of a new message to be sent out?
You would use "J" to send an "A" request and then use "J" again to interpret your "X" response. Notice the lack of "P" in AJAX.
You're salaried. You're paid to do a job, whether it takes you 20 hours or 80 hours a week. If you want, I'll pay you an extra 50% of your hourly wage when you work more than 40 hours a week. Your hourly wage is $0/hour, here's $0.
I'm done! I can go home early, right?
I believe, if I was allowed to go home early, as a salaried employee, I would get more work done in a single day, because I would be proactively looking for things to do (to justify me leaving early) instead of browsing web and not doing anything useful.
Once again, don't open email attachments from unknown senders.
Since many web browsers are so helpful nowadays, you don't need to run any executables or open any attachments anymore. Browsers will usually help you by opening malware-ridden PDFs, Flash objects, as well as DOC files. You will not even know they were opened, since malware does not want to be loaded in the open and gets executed in a hidden windows or javascript objects.
I recently melted by accident some aluminum cookware on a campfire. You don't really have to go all high-tech to get temperature high enough to melt aluminum.
It would be totally different if the applications weren't based on a quota system but required the corporations to demonstrate that they couldn't find the qualified individuals after a good faith search.
"Good faith search" is a very subjective term. How can you tell me that an employer is not qualified to say who fails or passes job interview process? There can be hundreds of qualified applicants, but only those who were meant to get hired will get hired.
I am also a permanent resident who went through all of this H-1b process. While I was an "indentured servant", I always felt like one, since I could not go to my boss and say "give me a raise or I quit!", because instead I would have had to say "give me a raise, or I'll go home and earn even lower salary!". I didn't like it, but at the same time I knew I had a job, because I was forced to accept a lower salary, i.e. U.S. government was helping me to "steal" a job from Americans. I knew what I was worth, but getting my immigration documents done sooner than later had a value to me as well; thus, I accepted the fact that I can't earn what I want.
Now that I am almost a citizen, I don't like whole work visa process, not because it allows foreign worker to come and work in the U.S., but because it forces them to compete unfairly. Prevailing wage requirement of Labor Certification process is a joke. Job descriptions and job ads are almost always tailored to the applicant; and, on top of that, many times companies can get away with paying less than what they are required to pay, because only the future salary (once documents get approved) is required to match the prevailing wage.
There is also another interesting twist on students who try to stay in the US after getting their degrees. To get a green card they need to have enough work experience...which they can get through H-1B program...unfortunately, experience with your current employer, who is filing for your green card, cannot be used on the green card application. Basically in this case US government is screwing individual companies, by forcing their foreign workers to quit (and find another job) after getting 5 years of experience from their employers.
The manufacturer, who can speak authoritatively about the bags...
You making the same incorrect assumption that the judge did in this case. Manufacturer has no idea if bags are fake until they buy and test them.
Low price alone does not mean that merchandise is fake. Some items might have been bought on clearance at outlets (which already have pretty good discounts), while others could have been "taken" out of back door in the factory (which alone does not make product a "fake").
On eBay, of instance, luxury manufacturers try to control prices of their products by sending take down notices to everyone who tries to undercut their retail prices. First Sale Doctrine does not seem to apply to people with deep pockets.
High end Nokia phones have cut-and-paste, bluetooth, and more. Just because you have not owned one, does not mean other people are not used to them and don't expect these features to be standard on all phones.
Immigrant brain drain ? Puleeeze. We are quite fond of saying 90% of developers suck.
You are completely missing the point here. The ones that are staying here are the ones you are talking about, since their lies won't work as good in their home country.
On the other hand, educated people with ideas, know-how, and patents are the ones leaving for better pastures. Better IP laws, better tax systems, better bureaucratic systems, and etc. These are the people who create jobs and not the ones who take them away from someone.
